Pets - 18 August 2007

It is about a pet thar dies and waits for you. They are in heaven and playing with other dogs and cats. I lost my sweet little poodle Vicky Lou after 13 years. I miss her so much. I heard about this poem but I don't know the words. Would you know the words?

I have had my 16 year old cat,Kinka,for a long time.He was grey tiger cat,and my parents had him put down,because his eyes lost their watery glow,and he wouldn't eat or drink food.

I went to the vet with my older brother and father to have him put down.I saw him die,and I wish I hadn't.I mean,they shave part of his fur and put a needle in it.

Can anyone who knows what this is like please give me advice.

If I like my pet dogs to eat noncommercial dog food (dry, canned, etc...) only, then answer the following question:
1. What's the pros and cons between cooked and raw meals.

If I decide to let them eat commercial dog food, then answer these questions:
2. What's the best brand(s)?
3. What is human grade ingredients? Why is better than others?
4. Where can I find the list of commercial dog food brands that were NOT affected by the recall of tainted brands?.
5. How were the affected brands tainted? Is it because they were made outside of the country?
6. What are the best human graded brands?

"Best Answer" is awarded to the person who answers most, if not all, of the questions listed above. Thank you.
If there is anything else you can enlighten me about dog foods, please... SHARE!

Also chockolate never give any dog it is very poisonus to there emune systems"

I am so glad if I need a vet I call mine- listening to 'vets' on here could cause some problems.

My 1 year old cat (Morrissey) is now ready to go on adult food, but we have an 11 week old kitten (Pixies) who is obviously on kitten food. The kitten food is making Morrissey put on a little weight because of the extra calories.

Keeping them separate at feeding time doesn't really work, since they eat little bits all day long!

I've tried feeding Morrissey on a high surface so Pixies can't get to his food, but he forgets where his food is or just gets down and eats Pixies' food! ;-)

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

I already have 2 dogs, but my friend is thinking about getting one for the first time. Problem is, she lives in an apartment, so the dog would have to be small-ish. Shes hoping it will be easy to train as well.
Any suggestions?

the water is heated to about 81 degrees..I changed about half the water.to see if that may help him but it didn't work. He eats fine but as soon as he does he goes right back to the bottom of the tank. there are no spots or anything on him. He still just as colorful as when i got him. The Water isn't cloudy or anything. so i'm stumped.i've had him for about 5-6 months..maybe its just his time?? any ideas would be greatly appreciated

He is eating, drinking and playing normally. He is going to the vet on Monday morning, but I just wondered if your dog has ever had this symptom and what it turned out to be. In case you wonder, he is three years old and has always had regular shots and checkups and has always been in good health. Thank you.

WHO SAYS DECLAWING IS A BAD IDEA?

Declawing is illegal or considered inhumane in many countries around the world, including in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, Israel, Yugoslavia, Australia, New Zealand, and Brazil.

In the United States and throughout the world, many respected individuals and organizations are opposed to declawing.



The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (www.aspca.org):

"The ASPCA does not approve of the declawing of cats as a matter of supposed convenience to cat owners. It is form of mutilation and it does cause pain."

The Humane Society of the United States (www.hsus.org):

"It is the policy of The Humans Society of the United States (HSUS) to oppose… declawing of cats when done solely for the convenience of the owners and without benefit to the animal."

The Cat Fancier's Association (www.cfainc.org):

I have sent him numerous articles on how bad it is.Yes Purina one is not the worst you can feed your dog. But why not buy better food? Exspecially once you know that there are better foods out there.

A few years ago my mom took in the cat I had fed for six months that lived in an abandoned car across the street. She had him neutered, got him his shots, and had him bathed. I could not take him in because my other cat would attack him and attack me if she even smelled him on me. A while ago I noticed he was licking himself excessively and I told mom he should go to the vet, she said no, I said I would pay for it, she said no, and she was mad at me. She went out of town a couple of days later and I took him to the vet anyway, he had his anal glands expressed and the licking stopped, I'm sure he was a happier cat. He's licking again, she's going out of town on monday and I will sneak him to the vets again. I don't feel bad to decieve my mom, I am glad to take care of this darling boy. My mom is old and grew up poor and folks back then didn't have money to spend on a pet. Please don't rag on my mom, the cat gets appropriate health care, I see to that. I know she's wrong.

It's not floating or anything, but it's gills aren't moving and neither is it's mouth. I tried tapping the glass, but nothing..I think the reason is because i haven't fed it since i got it yesterday. But i don't have any fish food and i can't go buy any. Do you think if i feed it now, it will start moving/swimming again? PLEASE help me and give me some tips to bring it back to an active state!!

We rescued this chihuahua puppy- at 8 weeks she was 1 1/2LBS
and at 9 weeks she was 2Lbs. The vets say she will be small, stay small, but i was just curious on how BIG she might get. I know it depends on the mother and father also, but we have no information on them. THANKS for your help!
