Pets - 26 August 2007

Ok, U am very worried about my cat who is 9 months old being lonely. I am a teacher and was off for 9 weeks. (I go back to work tomorrow!!)

Kitty got used to me being home with her. (Hubby will NOT let me get another cat to keep her company) She has LOTS of toys, a window perch and a bird feeder with lots of birds to watch during the day. Of course she has clean water and food and a clean liter box.

How hard will it be on kitty with me going back to work?

Thanks

Is there a cheaper way to get rid of chlorine and chloramine than buying dechlorinator from the petstore? I heard you could let it rest and the chlorine would evaporate but not the chloramine. Another way is to put the water in the sun but I don't know if it would evaporate the chloramine. What about boiling the water? Anybody knows any other ways that would get rid of both chemicals?

Okay my cat weighs 20 pounds! He is huge! Anyhow he is 8 years old, and my concern is how do I get him to loose the weight, I have 2 cats, one is a kitten and fit. But my male cat is obese. He has also had urninary problems and my vet told be to only feed him friskies special diet (as he would not eat the vets foods). And that is all I have been doing for the past 4 years. But now within 8 months he has gained 8 pounds. The kitten is not to blame we have only had him 2 weeks. I got him for my son, but also hoping it would get our cat off his fat rump! HELP!!!!!!!!

I have a cat thats 3 yrs old and is very small shes full grown and shes really fat. Is there a way i can make a diet food for her like vegables and fruit combined with her food. I was gonna blend the vegables and fruits then mix it in her food is that ok. i dont wanna buy diet food for her because none of my cats lose weight on them the vet said its normal and some brands of diet food they wont eat.

I just had my kitten neutered, well first of all he's caused my oldest cat to go into hiding... and he also won't leave me alone!!! He's driving my nuts!!! He meows all the time, and I've never had a whiner when it came to a cat. And he wants me to hold him all the time. Which I can't, cause then I never have time for the other cat. And when I am holding the other one and the kitten jumps in my lap, then the other one leaves, and I can't stand that cause Galaxy is my baby and he has been for the past 7 years... should I find my kitten a good home? Or will he eventually get the picture as long as I keep ignoring him??

I have never declawed a cat before and hate the idea of doing it but I am trying to solve the problem of our cat that scratches people for no reason. Will this help? Does it make them biters instead?

My turtles are about one inch each and i give them pellets, dried worms, small pieces of squid and lettece, i heard that they LOVE live worms but the petshop (where i bought them from) told me to avoid live worms because th turtles might swallow not chew it and there for the worm will be alive in its body causing a lot of problems to the turtle and sometimes it might kill it! is that true?

I need to take my 14 year old cat to the vet this week but he is very AGGRESSIVE! I can't even take him in my arms, he bites and scratches me! He's always been like that, I don't know why! Would there be something I could give him so I can control him???

My cat is experincing rapid weight loss and refuses to eat. My mother thinks it may be FeLV. Can any of you think of anything else it might be? She hasn't eaten for days. I know that you aren't vets and that even if you are you can't give me an actual diganois, but I just wanted some options.

I just bought a Madagascar Iguana (that was the name told by the salesman). I read on the internet that Iguanas ar naturaly Herbivourus animals, but that dude told me to feed him worms, maggots and chicken meat. I first tried some carrots and some cabbage...then some cheese and some meat. Nothing Worked. My Iguana does not look interested in any of does . I really dont want to start feeding him maggots and worms. What should I do? I will contact a vet tomorow, but the poor litle guy dint eat for like 24+ h.

I have an extremely tiny two gallon tank that has two female bettas in it that like eachother. i have a ten gallon also that is cycling right now. i want to keep 3 corys the ten gallon with about 5-10 tetras. can i put my two female bettas in there too? their other tank just seems too small for them now that they're older and full size. how can i move them safely. i have a bunch of other small tanks that i can move them in that is use when i clean my tanks, should i just do that? will bettas, catfish and tetras be okay in a ten gallon? should i just keep my bettas in their own tank and possibly get a bigger one so that they have more room? they are fine in their two gallon tank, i just want them to be in a bigger one. i used to have tetras with my female betta before and now i m just wondering about the catfish.

I have tried the water changes, cleaning the gravel and stuff but it just seems not to be working.

I also tried Junlgle Clear Water but that didn't do it's job either.

So I was wondering if you know of any good products to make my aquarium less cloudy, I am going to Wal-Mart and maybe Petsmart today.

My tank is 10 gallons with mollies in it.

My tank is fairly new, but lately I have had it! I mean, the ammonia is high, the water is cloudy, etc etc. I do partial water changes nearly everyday, I added Clear Water formula stuff, I've vacuumed my gravel, I'm doing it all right but it isn't working! I love my tank, but it drives me nuts!

Can you share your stories about when you had times like this (and hopefully had good endings) =)

I was looking at my fish today and I saw my Leopard Danio. She/He at the end of its body- right before the tail (NOT its tail) that part is red on both sides of the body.. is this the beginning of fin or tail rot? I only have these medicines available to me if he does have it: MelaFix, Fungus Clear, Parasite Clear, Aquarium Salt (the fish i have are: 5 Black Skirt Tetras, 5 Flame Tetras, 2 Leopard Danios) - For the Aquarium salt i dont have another place to isolate the danio, and i cant catch him!! hes too fast for the net. I have a 29 gallon Freshwater tank. Thanks

Our pit bull got sprayed by a skunk in the face last night. We tried to shampoo her but she obviously still stinks badly. I am looking for ways to try and get the stink off of her face.
