Pets - 16 August 2007

Has your dog ever won any awards, certificates or other prizes? Maybe he just visited a sick person and made them feel better. Maybe he found something you lost. Maybe he learned to stop pulling his leash. Maybe he caught his first frisbee. Maybe he just learned to make outside, instead of inside your home. Maybe he just learned a new trick.

Feel free to list all your brags here.
No accomplishment is too small or mundane.

*** I just wanted to read something positive in the YA Dog section today.

one night we gave him flea drops, my mom didn't want fleas jumping off in the house, so she put him outside for the night he hasn't been back in almost 3 days.

he is an indoor/outdoor cat so he is used to being out for the night and he goes outside a lot in the day, too. But I miss him so much it isn't even funny. My mom won't let us get another cat until we move which could be a year from now. I miss Buster so so so so so much.

What should I do to get my baby back?!

My dog licks me and stuff, but most of the time when I start petting her she runs away.

When I named my teacup yorkie, I was obsessed with Panic! at the Disco.

So now his name is.. Disco.
I'm getting another yorkie, so I thought I would name her Panic. :)

Is that too corny, or is it cute?

I feed my cat a minimal amount of dry food, and 9 out of 10 times he will wolf it down, and then vomit. Any advise on this?

i have been testing my tank every couple of days for ammonia nitrite and nitrate the amonia and nitrite are fine but the nitrate is off the scales test kit at 100mg/1.i am using interpet easy test kit for nitrate its in tablet form and i am following the instructions right,
i decided to test the tap water today with the kit as well and i was surprised at the reading for nitrate in the tap its 50mg/1 which is a orange red colour.
if my tap water is 50mg/1 and my tank water is 100mg/1 how do i reduce the readings for my tank,at first i thought it was my tank until i tested the tap water.
i have done plenty of water changes to try to rectify this but now feel im making the problem worse,by adding the tap water,
i am adding aqua safe which makes tap water safe made by tetra aqua
can some one please help as im lost what to do.

She is a little over a yr old. She was in heat about 3 months ago. She has been swollen in her vaginal area ever since. She has swollen nipples and look likes there is milk. She is an inside dog and no other dogs have been around her. We even go outside with her, because we were afraid of other dogs impregnating her. I heard dogs are only pregnant for 60 days. Well this is way over 60 days. Any suggestions? Besides takign her to the vet. I cant get her in for a few days. Thanks

I know many of you do but some do not...
Foods That Are Toxic To Birds
AVOID:
Dried Fruits that have been treated with sulphur dioxide.
Stay away from junk foods and any foods high in fat, salt, or sugar. Birds are also lactose intolerant so milk products should be limited to small amounts of hard cheese and yogurt.
Processed meats or other foods high in nitrates, nitrites, sulfites, or monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Alcohol
Dry Bean Mixes
Peanut Shells
Apple Seeds
Fava and Navy Beans Plumbs
Avocado
Fruit Pits
Potatoes (raw & green)
Butter
Grapefruit
Rhubarb
Cabbage (all)
Lemons
Salt
Caffeine
Mushrooms
Sprouted Lima
Chocolate
Onions
Tomatoes
This is by no means a complete list. If you are unsure, read the label, seek more information from the maker, or consult your Avian Vet. When in doubt, do not use!

My brother got a 5 yr old Paso Fino. I ride Hunters and am used to wanting the dropped, tucked nose. He naturally carries his head up and I don't know if I should be pushing him to drive from behind up through the neck to a dropped nose. Make sense? I'm riding bare back with a simple snaffle w/shanks and light rein.

Everybody agrees that it is really easy to smash a mosquitoe. Even a baby can do it. But how can the mosquitoe pierce your skin and suck blood??? I mean, we use NEEDLES to inject medicine and other stuff...anything will be helpful!!!

I just got a new kitten, and she absolutely LOVES to "sharpen" her claws on the carpet... I trimmed them and tried to file them so they weren't so sharp... when she scratches the carpet can she still rip up pieces? I spray water at her when I see her do it but I know she probably still does it when I'm not looking... I've had cats before and they did it but I didn't cut their claws... they ruined the side of one of my couches and two rugs... but I was just wondering if she will ruin the carpet/furniture if her claws are cut... she's only 10 weeks old so I don't want to get her de-clawed yet. Will rubbing her claws on the carpet sharpen her claws again?

Or what I should do? He's been acting very strange lately, and with the heatwave we are having he hasn't been outside , eating very little. Drinking some water, on his few forays outside he's started eating grass and licking this rusted fence.
