Pets - 17 August 2007

I got my cat around 2 weeks old and didn't know he was so young. He was a rescue... Anyways he's almost 3 mnths now and he is a phycho. He bites, slashes, jumps on tables, dashes around. I have tried yelling, grabbing the back of his neck, spraying water, slapping his nose and butt, putting him in a different room than me for awhile and still he keeps coming back for more. Is this normal or what. Also, for those of you who have cats and have had them your whole life, how should I greet them when I come home. Ignore or cuddle?

Thanks,
LokDog

I recently switched from Wellness dog food to nutro ultra holistic dog food large breed. Wellness was a good food but a bit pricey ?
Is Nutro a good dog food ? I know the kind I got is a new one they have out.

I live in the white mountains of Arizona (so we do have mild winter snow) I would like to build a pond for my red eared slider, but need to know how to keep it clean and keep him warm during the winters. I am not willing to spend 1000 dollars on a pond and I am willing to get my hands dirty and do it myself. Does anyone have any good resources or personal experience that may assist me in this process? (the reason for the pond is that he is getting bigger and is ready to not be in an aquarium, I care about him and think he deserves the best house I can give him)

I live in Calif. I had a dog called Buffie and he was a sweet Collie. Had him in the 70s. However, I hardly see any pet owners with this breed. Why?

He only has short hairs on his belly between his legs. No long ones(he used to have long ones). What do you think caused this?

Did someone actually shave my cat? Why would someone do this?

Is it some sort of skin disease or parasite?

I recently added a UV light to my tank to strengthen my two turtles' shells. Whenever they bask under it, white blotches appear on their shells. When they go into the water, when they aren't basking directly under it, or when I turn the light off, the blotches eventually dissappear, only to come back when they bask under it again. What are these blotches? Are they normal?

They have had the dog (a schnauzer) for less than a week. He was with his previous family for six yrs but due to a new baby they felt he deserved a home where he would have more time and attention devoted to him. The dog has previously had liver surgery and is still tender around the scar area. He may have bitten my mum because she accidentally caught this area...she's not sure. Should we just put the bite down to the fact the dog is probably very unsettled at the moment getting used to his new surroundings? The previous owners said he can sometimes get snappy and they were worried that their small children would aggravate him into biting them. Should my parents give him longer to settle in and see if it happens again before giving him back to the previous family? All you doggy people out there, please help!!! Thanks

My girlfriend is moving to the East coast for college, but she can't take her cat with her. The cat's name is Slinky and she really adores it, so I grudgingly agreed to take care of it for her.

Here's the problem: this cat has the most raspy meow I've ever heard, and it coughs all the time. On several occasions, it has kept me awake at night with its coughing and raspy meows. I asked my friend who's training to become a vet to come check the cat out, and it turns out I would need to take it to the vet and pay for surgery to fix the problems it has. Now, I have a lot a things I'd rather spend money on than some stupid cat, so I decided it was time to get rid of it.

I drove out to the woods and hiked a fair distance away from the road. Then I put Slinky up on a tree branch so it couldn't follow me and went home. However, now I'm feeling a little guilty. I know there's no bears in those woods, but coyotes do live there. Do you guys think a cat could survive in the woods like that?

We took a sample of my dogs poop and found worms, so we called the vet and went to get pills. Was that the right thing to do?

My dog just pooped on the carpet, and this happens whenever she gets sick. It is like a slimy goop. I was wondering should I just put her down and get a new one?

I want to get a rodent that's:

-REALLY quiet at night
-friendly
-clean
-requires a small cage
-cheap

I want to put it in my room, so I need to know these things. Which would you recommend? Please add pros and cons!
Also, tell me how much it would cost a month for food, bedding, etc.

(No big rodents, like guinea pigs, chichillas and ferrets!)

Thanks! Best answer goes to whoever helps me the most!

Is he cute, or is he cute?!?!?!? Is this just a face a mother could love, or is he just the cutest dang thing in the world.

Please tell me if I'm being blinded by love.
