My female cat is three years old. I adopted her when she was ten weeks old. As a kitten she chewed through EVERY cord she came across. Telephone cords, cell phone chargers, two-way radio chargers, mice, etc. (while they were plugged in). I know she was shocked once but didn't seem to phase her. I used "Apple Bitter" but it didn't work. It seemed to have subsided for a year and a half but now she has started up again. She is costing us a lot of money in electronics (upwards of $500... today it was a external cd drive). We have recently tried tabasco sauce and "Bitter Yuck" but, obviously, it hasn't worked. Any suggestions? It's an annoying and EXPENSIVE habit for her to have!

Okay, I had the question about my dog getting a recurring urinary tract infection. A couple knowledgeable contributors suggested possible change in diet. What about Newman's Own Dog Food - would that be a good alternative to the Kibbles and Bits he has always eaten? Will it be easy to switch him? Will it harm him in any way? Thanks.

My grandma's peekapoo has "seizures" every couple of months. He is on medication for it but it doesn't help much. What happens is that he goes limp and shakes for about five minutes. After that he is just fine. Any suggestions?

Actually, my neighbor does, I'm posting this for her. It has to be free, and the puppy needs to already have his or her shots and be potty trained. And it has to be small, even when it is grown up. Will be taken care of very well!!!
:)
Thank you!! Sorry to be so specific about what kind of puppy.

Ok. I've looked through a lot of fish. Friend of mine says I can have 4 or 5. So what do you think of this order(after crabs, snails, and cleaner shrimp)? Blenny, goby, percula clown, yellowtail damsel. Do you have any suggestion on other fish? I intend to keep the clownfish on the list.

I had an established tank of fish, shrimp and snails. Then I added two small turtles. Since then, the ammonia levels have been high ( I already treated it with Ammo lock) and my water is getting cloudy.

I was using Jungle brand Water Clear, which worked miracles in my tank with fish, but is that safe on turtles? I also saw another water treatment tablet that you place into the tank that is supposed to help with turtles and reduce salmonella, but I wasnt sure if it was safe for the fish.

I am a first time turtle owner, so any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I just want clear ammonia-free water for my fish and turtles to live.

And yes, I know that once my turtles get bigger, I'll have to seperate them or risk losing my fish as food.

Also, how do I know that the turtles are eating enough, or at all for that matter? I'm afraid that my fish are eating everything (I only have 3 goldfish).

I was looking for a pet snake off of Reptile Auctions.com and found someone selling these snakes for $15. I have invested a lot of money into this snake only to find out that they are illegal. These snakes are native to GA but are really common in the pet trade, and are only illegal in 3 states (GA, NJ, HI). I want to sell it to somebody where it is legal to have them, so at least I can make some money back, but that may not be the case. I am highly concerned about getting the snake a good home and I was wondering if any of you herpers out there have any suggestions.






I am also trying to sell a trio of adult leopard geckos (1 tremper albino male, 1 high-yellow female, 1 normal female) and an unsexed coastal rosy boa.

I have a four month old Weimaraner that is having severe issue with urinating in the house. At first the vet thought it might be a UTI and put her on antibiotics for 5 days with no results. Now I follow a strict routine of letting her out for 5-10 minutes every hour on the hour when I am at home. That has solved some of the issues, but now it has taken a different turn over the last week. Now she pees when I go to put the leash on her. She will usually completely empty her bladder in the 5-10 seconds it takes for me to put the leash on her. I live in an apartment and have spent the entire Labor Day weekend cleaning up pee stains from the carpet. Help!

I have a bearded dragon, and for a while now we've been using a type of sand that is very powdery. It clumps all together when she spills her water dish, AND it gets all over her, leaving her powdery! The sand we hand before that was red and powdery, and it left her covered in red powder and herfood dish ruined! Can someone reccommend me a easy-to-care-for substance I can put in her cage?
