Pets - 3 August 2007

We have an old Arabian horse, Disney, 25 years old, that we rescued two years ago. His owner had passed away. He has chronic founder and couldn't even walk when we brought him home. I have had my vet come out and he says that his teeth are pretty much gone and he is old and has a malnurution problem due to old age. People who don't know better have called the SPCA on us several times. And they have been out to our place to inspect all the animals. None of our other animals are that old and skinny. After three visits from the SPCA, I gave them my vets number but they didn't follow thru with calling him. After the third notice that they left, I called and advised them that if they didn't call our vet then that was harrassment and they haven't bothered us since. do u dislike the SPCA?

I have 2 very active 13 weeks old kittens. I got them when they were 8 weeks old and they were very sick (diahreea, vomiting, etc.) for the first few weeks I had them. It took about 2 weeks and several medicines later for them to stat feeling better. Last Thursday, I came home from being away for a few days for work and noticed that my one kitten (the smaller of the two) had almost no whiskers. The other kitten (the bigger one) has all of her whiskers. I notice as the whiskers start growing out that the ends are bending and then breaking off. The two kittens play very rough and I wasn't sure if I should be worried about the missing whiskers (sick again) or if it could be a result of their "roughhousing". Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I 've been breaking apart algea tablets for it, and doing that once a day. Is that to much or not enough? My goldfish seems to get to it faster though, so I feed it flakes, and sneak a tablet in on the side. Is this ok or should I do something else. And what about water temp. My apartment gets hot, should I be worried about the dragon fish? Any ideas would be wonderful. Thanks

While doing research on my next dog. (I had to take the last one to the pound since it refused to be housebroken.) I saw that people are now breeding Giant Chihuahuas, and I decided that I want one. From what I have heard, they are about the size of a miniature German Shepherd, but they don't shed as much. Does anyone know where I can find one?

I just want to know why are male Calico cats rare? I have a female but a lot of people tell me the boys are rare and I should find one for breeding and make $$$. I don't want to breed. I just want to have another friend. I am just curious to know why they are rare though.

I don't understand the connection between the two, but I'm glad I get a good heads up before she becomes distressed or gets a secondary infection. The vet gives her a couple of shots for congestion and she is right as rain the next day. It's either allergies or a virus. He says I can expect her to go through this every 3 or 4 months. He says she's looking better than she ever has, she had been sick with parasites and uri's as a kitten. I keep a savings for her frequent flyer vet visits.

I took my dog to pet smart today. She is perfectly calm if the store is empty, she walks next to my leg and such. But the minute she sees another person in the store she tries to run and hide. If people come too close she kinda growls or backs away and tries to hide behind me. Some little kid kept trying to pet her and i thought they were gonna get bit even though I told her not to pet my dog. She tries to pull me out of the store and doesn't respond to my corrections from the choke chain. How do I make my dog more people friendly and not be scared crapless?

Ps. Don't reccamend treats because she won't take any reward from strangers what so ever. Not even from me when she is scared.

Xylitol affects the liver in dogs and can cause various problems and is often fatal. Spread the word! This is NOT regulated by the FDA or any other group. At the least they should warn consumers! Feed back?

She is a dog that belongs to a family member with a mental disability and we are taking care of her for the next year while he is in a rehab location. Not sure what has made her do this but even when you are just talking nicely to her she lays her ears back, squints her eyes, squats down and pees as she is running away. I have tried everything possible to gain her trust even so far as babying her way more than I do my own dog but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions? BTW, it is really starting to get annoying as my carpet is getting absolutely ruined!!

Im fostering a dog who I found out had kennel cough. I got the pills to give her when I feed her, so Im treating it.

I have another dog too, and I dont want him to get sick, but I dont want to isolate him from me (he'll get sad.) He's pretty healthy anyways and seems immune to everything, so is there a possibility he might not get it?

I leave the door in my living room open to the outside, so could that help the bacteria sort of float outside instead of staying inside?

And anyways they really arent around each other, they keep to themselves, so does that help too?
