Pets - 24 August 2007

I think our old man of about 10 has had a stroke, one side of his body does not appear to be working, he cannot get off the bottom of the cage, and is making a lot of noise.
Is this a trip to the vets to get him put to sleep? Or will he recover?

I have a male chicken (It's about 3 1/2 months old) now he bites very hard when I walk by. He bites other people too. He has been nipping my feet and legs since he was about 1 month old and back then his nipping wasn't hard enough to hurt. But now he bites me very hard and it hurts. A few minutes ago he grabbed the flesh of my feet four times. The fourth time was so hard it left a small bloody wound. Why does he do this- and what should I do? I also have a female chicken. It's the same age as him. She doesn't bite people. (I'm not sure what breed these chickens are. The chickens are white. When they were babies they were yellow. I received them from a friend when they were about 10 days old. They said they got them from a farm)

I am taking care of my cusins rabbit while they are away, I fergot to put him in his cage on our deck so I let him come in bcecause i think i hear raccons so I don't wanna go outside. I put him in a fairly good sized bathroom with food and water, and then I shut the door cuz my mom dosn't want him running all over the house. Would putting him in a bathroom kill him? Will he sufacate?

Does he really have an accent and is he really from scotland or is that all an act. And does he know what he is gonna say before the show. I know to some degree it has to be somewhat planned but does he know all of what he is gonna say.

Hi, I googled these and couldn't find much information, so if anyone could fill me in with a few of these questions I would appreciate it.

1. Do they live well together?
2. How old do they get?
3. How big do they get?
4. Do they tend to bite and scratch you alot if you have them as a pet?
5. How much does a baby cost and how much does an adult cost?

Cheers

The puppies were born 7-7; the front nipples have shrunk back, but the farther back they go the bigger they get - the ones in back hang down 3-4 inches, and show cleavage. (!!!)

Is this common? I've seen nursing dogs before and never saw ... well, boobs on them.

(The puppies are on solid food, and nurse in the morning only - seems more as a form of comfort than nutrition)

She's had it for a while now and it just keeps getting bigger. It doesn't cause her any pain though even when I push on it. It's squishy...almost like it's filled with fluid.

I've had my Siamese Since he was 3 months old, and its been 4 month now.

From what i've read Siamese are suppose to meow all day long and be very clingy to a single person.

My Siamese is very quiet , is very nice to everyone; even people he just met and seems very independent.

i moved into my new home which I ran into some feral cats. Long story short, mother who i felt sorry for, started to feed everyday, had a litter of kittens, and i quickly was feeding 4 cats/kittens. Soon they grew up and i got scared I was harboring a large catery performed TNR(Trap Nueter Release) on the group.One of the cats, the runt of the litter, really pulled on my heart strings and I decided to keep inside, which i fell she is very grateful (she sleeps with me and my other two cats everynight on my bed and seems content My question is, every once in a while my recent adoption(its been 8 weeks) will look outside and see her mother and the rest of her litter mates eating the food i provide them and start meowing.ive felt really bad like she misses them and have even open the door for her, but she prefers to stay indoors. Did i make the wrong decision by adopting a feral cat and keeping her inside with me? Or should i slightly push her outside with her old family? prefer not to

This puppy is beautiful. She has ears like the long-coated chihuahua, but has the other characteristics of the maltese. She was black with a white around her eyes like a racoon, when she was born, but has since changed her color to white with black fringes. She has maltese eyes. I've been told they now call mixed breeds "hybrids".

ok I went away to a sleep away horse camp for 2 weeks...my dad was the one who fed them while I was gone and to my horror I found out he was only feeding them seed. I only use the seed for growing sprouts for my keets to eat with their cooked veggies!! Before i left they were on a diet of Lafeber pellets,nutri berries,and cooked veggies and fruits. My dad after I left just let my keets be seed junkies for 2 weeks !! i guess i forgot to tell him pellets not seeds. uggh will my keets be hurt by this??? I gave them pellets right when I arrived back home.

If they just walk around on the pavement, roll in the grass or dirt, and run around rubbing up against trees, or will they be fine?

I just got a cat from my neighbors (they were going to take him to the pound), and his fur is matted really bad in a couple places, I've cut off the bigger clumps, but there are some that are too close to the skin to be able to cut them off, I don't have the money to take him to a groomer, I just took both my other cats in for their checkups (I get a discount for taking them together, but it's still spendy enough that I had to save for it), and I have a car loan that I'm paying on (just a couple more months), so I won't have the money to get my new kitty really fixed up until after Christmas. Meanwhile, he's outside because he has fleas and giving him a bath is pointless with all the clumps and I don't want to give my other two cats fleas, and to top it off, he's declawed so he can't even defend or scratch himself!! :( He's such a beautiful cat, he's a super fluffy Siamese with the brightest blue eyes and is so loving. He should have been some little old lady's lap kitty.
