Pets - 24 August 2007

My 1st female cat became pregnet, she had 3 kittens, twin girls and a boy. What a good mother she was, being my 1st time with the whole expirience I became so attached as I watched them grow and how mom would talk to and treat each one in her own special way. Of the twins, she favored the smallest. She loved her babies. As they grew to be 6 wks. I noticed she had certain "calls" for each kitten, I watched her teach them her own little ways like how to drink out of faucets or beg when the fridge opens. She even brought home her hunts to show her babies.Last wk. a friend came by to pick up one of the twins. Mom paniced when he left. calling and searching aimlessly for her baby. I had to call and tell him he had moms baby and to return her for the other twin.It was so sad to see mom panic. Poorkittys what do they think? Their world as they knew it no longer exists,so scared thinking of what was, and watching mom wonder and search calling out to them but theyre gone! It Broke my heart

Cosmo (the second) keeps hanging out in the top corner of the tank, like hes looking out of the window lol. his reactions are fine (if i put my fingers near the part of the glass where he is, he'll move away) and hes coming out for food. the reason i say that is the original cosmo became very lethargic and was near the bottom of the tank, and ignored food/fingers...
could my fish be relaxing? why would he be so dis-interested?
(i treat the tank regularly with tetramedica goldmed, have done a water change 2 days ago, checked water levels and they were fine, added a few live bacteria in my new water with tetraaqua safestart and also used dechlorinator) i can't think of anything that would be causing this...i did move their tank around a bit when i changed the water (ie different layout) but could this be an effect of that?

on tuesday, my friend left her house with her, in season 18 months old bi tch, locked in the garden and her whole male dog locked in the house, she came back a hour later to find the male outside with the female after having jumped out of a downstairs kitchen window, so assumed that she must have been mated, phoned the vets, who said they couldn't do anything, because to do the abortion thing they needed to be SURE that she had been mated and was told she would just have to hope she hadn't, so my friend goes out today, again leaving the bit ch outside with the male inside but this time making sure all the ground floor windows where shut. not thinking to check upstairs, came home and sure enough, her male had jumped out of the upstairs window,lucky she didn't kill himself, this time however she caught them locked so knows that she was mated. phoned the vets, who said that because they aren't sure if she was mated the FIRST time or not, that they still cant do anything

I have a litter of three kittens that have gotten scattered in my barn. The mother has located one of the kittens but neither I nor her have been able to locate the other two. It hasn't been more than an hour or so. She is staying close to the one kitten but calling out. Will she find the other kittens or will she be unable to find them without my help?

My dog keeps dragging her backside, rubbing her rumb on the floor. (in a seated position and moves herself forward with her front legs). I will sometimes have streaks of ****stains on the floor as a result of this. Is there something wrong with her? Should it be a concern to bring her to the vet? I am worried it might be a symptom of some disease. My friends told me that some dogs just happen to have this very bad habit and there is nothing physically wrong with her. If this is so, how i can break this bad habbit?

I enjoy australian rainbows. But I have had a bigger austalian rainbow beat up a different type of rainbow fish species. Are australian rainbow fish "territorial"? I have a banjo catfish in there with the 1 that I have started with. They seem to get along fine. I have alot of room and adequate filtration and cover. Anyone with experience in these fish?

I just got some catfish and have been feeding them sinking pelletts. But the pellets have made a mess and now the walls of my tank are coated with residue. I have cut back to the ammount of pellets im feeding the cat's since they make a mess - but is there a safe way to get rid of the residue on the walls? Or will it just dissapear over time? What about wiping with a cloth or sponge?

Because the weather has been so bad, most of my trails have gotten really really muddy so i am now limited to which trails I take. Some of the mud is nearly up to my knees in places and im just 6 feet tall. Can I ride through mud that deep? My horse wants to go through it but i will not let her, I always turn around. Can not wait for the good weather to come back, my riding Levis are getting ruined in the bad weather. Come on sun please come back.

I have a 20 gallon freshwater aquarium stocked with two 6" plecostomus and 2 dwarf honey gouramis. I don't actually use an air pump, I have a Biowheel powerhead filter that keeps great water movement and air circulation. However, last night I lost power and they aren't expecting to turn it back on for 2 days. Will my plecos be alright without the air circulation, or will they suffocate? The gouramis, of course are labyrinth fish any how so I'm not as concerned with them.

Also, without the filtration are the ammonia levels going to increase?

I had a 29 gallon tank with beautiful koi fish, and different types of goldfish. Most of the fish, I'd had for years. They were all huge fish so I decided to start feeding them pellets, instead of flakes. I went to the local pet store and bought a bag of koi pellets. Within days, my tank turned cloudy, my orange and white fish developed big black dots, and my black fish developed white dots, and pretty soon, they died. I didnt even think of the food I bought. I thought it was ick but my mother said it didnt look anything like ick. Thats when I noticed that the food I bought was expired. Would that have had such a dramatic effect on my tank? Or do you think it was something else. 2 of my fish managed to survive it and I got them out and into a new tank right away, but im still puzzled as to what caused this. Im still upset by it because I'd had them for so long.

Dont you people know there is no such thing as a "NO KILL SHELTER"? Do you really think they will take your dog with all of its behavior, medical and Lord knows what else problems and find them a good home?

I've been with a no kill shelter for many years. ANY DOG that comes in with a problem that will take up too much time or money is taken to a "KILL SHELTER" to be disposed of. They cant affford to fix all of the dogs that come in there. Only healthy, well balanced dogs are put up for adoption (sale). The ONLY REASON they are called no kill is because they dont killem there.
