Pets - 9 August 2007

My boyfriend's cat has milky white fluid coming from his eye. The eyeball is glassy, he keeps it closed alot, and he cleans his eye alot. We are not sure how this happened, but we think that my boyfriend accidentally bumped him in the eye with his leg, as Buddy is always underfoot. We can't take him to the vet as we are leaving to out of town tommorow morning, plus because he had a botched laser declaw recently, and went to the vet alot for that. So we feel terrible about putting him through all that. We have some leftover antibiotic from the surgery, and we put triple antibiotic on his eye. This has been going for a couple days. What should we do?

My pomeranian weighs 5-6 lbs. and is four years old. She has never been bred before and this would be her only breeding. The male we would like to breed her with is a cockapoo around 5 years old and weighs approximately 18 lbs. Does anyone know is this would be safe for her? I'm worried the puppies may be too large.

My bf has a small dog. Whenever we have sex, she jumps on the bed and tries to lick one of us. then he gets up and puts her in another room. I think it's gross. She also barks all the time if he is not paying her attention and doesn't listen to him unless he has food in his hand. He seems to reinforce her bad behavior by giving her food when she is barking. Sometimes instead of cuddling with me while watching a movie he lets his dog sit on his lap and pets her. He also lets her sleep in his bed at night and talks to her like he talks to me, "gorgeous, baby, etc." When he is affectionate towards me, the dog gets upset so she starts barking at me and scratching. Is all this normal? What should I do about this?

I have had the other two platies for about two weeks, at most. I noticed the baby as I was cleaning the gravel for the first time. The vaccuum was sucking up A LOT of this whitish mucousy looking substance, but wrote it off as fish feces and food debris. Then I saw the baby....looks just like the red platy. It had black dorsel and tail fins and was orange in color. Teeny tiny. I stopped cleaning, turned the light off, and I haven't seen it or any new babies since. I've read that platies are live bearers, so why is there only one? And when should I see more of it or any others? I also noticed it swimming into the gravel...will it survive underneath all of the rocks? Any advice?

Her ears were always straight up and now one of them is always bent and the other one is standing up. Could there be something wrong. I know it doesn't hurt her because I tried rubbing her bent ear.

I have spoken to the neighbour several times, has done nothing about it. I have requested he pick it up, he says later. I leave it there for 4 and 5 days, then I pick it up. I have a dog and I pick up after her, so I am not a dog hater.
I have been tempted to do some dreadful things.

my mom's boyfriend has a problem with her beloved dogs that keep producing litters. in indonesia it isnt common to sterilize dogs and operation is sumthing bad.

allright so i told her she has to sterilize her dog otherwise it will keep producing litters. ( she cant separate the dogs due some condition, hormonal injection has been done but there are times she forget and the dogs make litters)
so i accompany her, I pick the vet, I pay the cost and I took the dog to the vet.

then i leave the town the next day because i got job somewhereelse.

after operation the dog hit the door and hurt her leg and drag it.
one week after, the operation wound heal, the leg is swollen and ..you know it produce the oozing white liquid coming out from it. the vet who operate iher says its okay, it will heal in 1 week.

just a week after the vet says so, the dog died.

I was walking on my way to school today, & these people had the front door open, & their dog saw me walking & started running & barking, & I was minding my own business. The dog was on his way to attack me, but a car hit him & kept going, & he also kept going but ran the other way, & the dog owners were so upset. I think the dog ran away.

I have full blown ick. 3 of my fish are COVERED in it. so, i turned up the temperature to like 84 degrees f. and added the propper amount of aquarium salt. i also went to the store and got ick meds but the only kind availble, (the shelves were pretty empty, of course it is my luck) was jungle tank buddies tablets. i tab for every 10 gallons every 24 hours. so i treated my tank with that and removed the carbon from my filter. i know it will take a while but it doesn't seem better at all. i have a ten gallon, well stocked and cycled. i plan on continuing the meds and hoping it clears. any suggestions on ways to get them better faster and am i doing the right thing? is the medicine i got good quality? any tips would be great!

I don't keep saltwater fish but I wok at a pet shop and I'm just trying to figure out some things about those fish. It says only 1 clownfish to a tank, I'm assuming that is a total of one, and you can't do one of each type (like 1 maroon with 1 percula and 1 clarkii).

If that is true, can it at least be done with larger tanks (in excess of 150 gallons). Do they fight because there is not enough room for them to defend their territory?

I just purchased two packages from walmart. One is the miniture lily and one is the Aponogeton. I have let them sitin a jar of water for two days now. I just put them in my betta's aquarium. All of the bulbs float except for one lily and one aponogeton bulb. My question is, how long will it be before they sprout, are they supposed to be floating? Is it harmful that my betta is pushing on them? And is the water lily going to be good for my aquarium? it's a dwarf, so I'm thinking if I put one plant of it in the back corner and prune it, it should be fine. I don' thtink the leaves come to the surface all the time. (plus, are the aponogetons good for my betta to rest on? that's why I bought them). Well, even if they don't sprout, at least it's something for my betta to do now :D (I'm not sure if my other question actually posted or not, sorry for the repeat if it did!!!)

My sister got a Betta fish and at first it was breathing fast and since my uncle had Betta fish and was a good keeper he said he might be sick so my sister didnt want it to die on her and since it was probobly sick when she got it she returned it to pet-co and got a new one but i also got one and mine is breathing kind of fast! But i dont want to return it because it has pretty colors and i already named it Patches because it had patches of different colors. So can you help me find out a when a Betta fish regularly breath and make it easy for me to count or tell how fast its breathing when you tell me how fast it it should breath.
