Pets - 1 September 2007

i've checked other answers for other people that asked the same question. most people say to feed one cup of fresh veggies a day. but when they say CUP do they mean a cup like measurement or a cup like the little containers they have for their food. Please say the amount of veggies to give(about how many baby carrots?) also, how much fruit should you give? i've read that they are high in sugar so you should only feed them it about once or twice a week...is that true?

I just took my almost 12 week old Cornish Rex for his 1st checkup. He had diarrhea coming home from the breeder and again yesterday. When the vet testing his stool she found those proto's swimming around and gave him an oral .5ML of the antibiotic Metronidazole chicken flavor.
I googled it and to my horror I see it's very dangerous! Help! Now I'm afraid to give it to him! They gave me a syringe and to only measure to the 1/2cc mark and it's to be given twice a day for the next 10 days. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I bought a corn snake yesterday, (Friday) and at first it was fine. It was active and trying to escape but now it just curls up an sleeps almost all day and night. It was fed 5 or 6 days ago if that has anything to do with it. It is an albino red also if that helps. Can someone please tell me if this is normal and if not, how to make it better?

I just got a 2 yr old cat. Ive never had a cat before so this is all new to me. She walks around the house meowing ALL the time. Is something wrong with her or do some cats just do that? I take her to her food and water and show her to the litter box but thats not it. Is this normal?

Hi all! I was hoping someone could help. I was in the pet food store this morning and a very nice man was in with his pup. It was of a breed I've never heard of before. It was a beautiful pup and about the size of a Min Pin right now at 16 weeks old.

He told me it was a Golden Doberman! I asked where he found such a dog and he told me it is a European line very rare.
Does anyone have any info on this breed? Have you seen or heard of this breed before? Is it exclusive to Europe, or is it here in the US too?
Thanks!

My two year old Himalayan/Ragdoll is always looking for attention. I pet her and do everything that makes her confortable. If I don't, she will bite and I mean bite and then run away and hide. She has play toys which she uses. I have tried everything but she just will not stop this biting. It may stop for a month and then will start again. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Since it is clear that Michael Vick should suffer capital punishment for his crimes against animalanity, do you think he should die by a) drowning b) electrocution c) being ripped apart by pit bulls or d) strangulation? These are all methods by which he personally murdered dogs. It only seems fitting that....

I have a very small cold water tank (13 litres) with two black moor fish. The tank I bought came with a filter and I have installed it so that the part which pushes out the filtered water is below the surface. Is that right or should it make bubbles?

But it seems to create a current under the water which the fish struggle to swim away from. Eventually after watching the fish swimming against the current, i saw both fish give up swimming and begin to be washed around the tank by the water flow. I have now turned off the filter.

Also, any food which has sunk to the bottom washes around the tank. Is there any need for the filter?

Does anyone know about cat seizures? What can you expect from a vet? Are there any drugs that a vet could give that are harmful to a cat? Anything else I should know?

for a few days now my usually very active and crazy cat has been acting very strangely and i am very worried.
On tuesday he was acting like he does when i take him to the vet, all flat ears, breathing fast, cowering and when i picked him up he hid his face and just sat there (usually he never lets me pick him up and struggles instantly). Since then he has been hiding under a side board in the bedroom (somewhere he never sits) and comes out only to eat, use his box and occationally have a nose around, until he looks up quickly, seems to get spooked by something and runs back under the sideboard.
Im really worried, he seems to be eating normally and not be physically ill just mentally worried and scared.
Nothing has changed in my flat, nothing major has happened to him.
Anything people can offer would be great, as the vets really arent being much help at all!!
thanks!
