Pets - 20 August 2007

I have 3 cats. 1 adopted us and we adopted 2 others from the APL. Both cats have rhinotrach, and have given it to the 1st one too. I love all 3, and hate to get rid of them, but the sneezing is getting out of hand. The walls, windows, floors, everywhere! They are just non-stop. I cant locate any info on the disease and was hoping there might be a cure or at least something to give them that would eliminate (or at least reduce) the sneezing. Theyve seen the vet and he has given them liquid penicillin (didnt do a thing) then pills (again, no help). He says the best thing is to seperate them and they get rid of the symptoms ie: the sneezing. We cant keep them in seperate rooms, so they may have to find new homes. Any suggestions or ideas?

i have had 11 fish deaths in the past month, it began shortly adding a new fish - the others stopped eating then one seemed to die each day then we replaced the filtration system, pump, treated with salt, ich tx and deaths stopped for about 1 wk then started again 3 days ago with 1 death each day and i don't know why. the ph is perfect, ammonia and nitrates only mildly elevated ; of the fish 9 black and 3 golden goldfish died - the other kinds seem ok. are goldfish less hardy?

What are some original names for a dog... can be really random, can be people names... and throw in some Italian names if you want, if not, that's fine too. I'll give the winner ten points ASAP to the name I like!

I've bought my cat her first collar (it's a breakaway collar), and I'm not sure if it's too tight. I can put on 1 finger in between her neck and the collar and it's snug - but is that too snug? If I give it too much room, she gets it stuck in her mouth...

I have a community tropical freshwater aquarium. My water hardness has increased and the GH and KH are now just above normal limits. The pH has also risen quite dramatically. I have added a pH balance chemical to reduce the alkaline but from what I understand the two issues are related. My testing kit tells me to add water from a reverse osmotion tank but I don't have one or know much about setting one up. Do you have any suggestions? (Regualr water changes are not helping in this case)

I am wondering what other pet owners do to correct and stop this. I heard of a product called Angel Eyes that is a powder and you put it on their food every day. It's supposed to stop the tearing. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I currently have 3 bala sharks, 3 black-skirt tetras, 1 opaline gourami, and 1 angel fish in a 29 gallon aquarium. I got all these fish about 1 1/2 months ago so they still small. I plan on upgrading to a 125 gallon tank. When will I need to do this? How much time will it be until I need to upgrade?

that is 3.5g (not 4) heated to room temp, 21 deegrees celsius, filtered, has live plants and a small cave in a corner?

Or would the tank be too cold? the only reason i dont have it heated is cause it has the light provides some heat and a heater does not fit with the lid being on so i have to take it off and then it looks gay and yea so will the better and 2-3 white clouds be OK?

I was just given a Chilean rose tarantula on Saturday and had no idea that she was about to molt, this evening she was walking around, and I put a cricket in there. Now she is on her back molting and I am worried the cricket will hurt her! I have been keeping an eye out on her, but has anyone else had any experience with this??

In my aquarium, I have 3 bala sharks (about 3 inches each), 3 black-skirt tetras, 1 opaline gourami, and 1 angel fish. I have had them for about 1 1/2 months now. One bala shark keeps chasing the other 2 balas plus the black skirt tetras but it doesn't bother the angel fish or opaline gourami. Should I get a few more balas to make a school? What should I do?
