Pets - 12 September 2007

I can't think of another solution. My younger cat Xander is is being mean to the older cat Izzy. Izzy won't come out of my bedroom unless i am too now and he won't go near Xander, because Xander attacks him whenever he can. X is neutered and i thought that would calm him down, but it hasn't. Now I'm afraid I'm out of options and have to find Xander a new home. I'm hoping someone here might have another idea.

i've been trying to train her into eating specially formulated dog food but she just refuses to touch them. sometimes i include it to her canned dog food and she just plainly refuses it. its really frustrating because there are times she just wouldn't eat for up to 2 days unless I give her favorite food - which is chicken. i want to stop giving her chicken because she's overweight, 16lbs for an 8inch tall dog. its just so hard for me to do it because she would give me this soulful, sad look! im a pushover :(

any suggestions?

The problem is I cant get them to get along its always crazy in my house! The male chi hates the lab and my female ignores her until she gets to close and then she raises hell with him. The lab (Spirit) just wants to play and she is to big and I have to stay right on her so she doesnt try to play with them because she doesnt meant to but she could hurt them. I feel bad because most of the time spirit is in her kennel and its not fair to her. Any idea's on how I can get them all to get along together would be very helpful.

i don't know what sex to choose, male or female? which one would be easier to look after? people have told me male kittens spray everywhere to mark there territory and females don't? other than that what else would be a better advantage of picking one sex over the other?

I have a 8 month old boxer puppy, he is healthy, up on shots, worming, not running a temp, eating well.
I feed him Nature's Recipe Puppy made with Lamb & Rice. made with no beef , corn, wheat. no by-products. he has been on this for about 3 months.
My problem is that he has the squishy runs... it starts out hard and fine but then omg... he is house broke so thats not the problem.
I don't think he is absorbing what he needs with this food.
Shoud I take him back on to Purina's Puppy Chow (what he was on before) that has more fillers and junk? Is healthy (human thoughts,not what dogs really need) better or 90% of dogs do just fine on the good ole' stuff like Pedigree and Purina for years
Are the marketing ploys toward our thoughts and not just want a dog really needs.
I just want his system to calm down. The vet says he is fine, it just might be a food allergy.. might be the lamb???
Just need some thoughts
Thanks

But.. i live in a caravan (a big 1 yes but its still not as big as a house) so would it be fair to let it stay in all day? and don't forget i live on a very secured site so my cat would be ok if it stayed on the site. Its very luxury (The site and the caravan) put it this way my mum and dad would of been in a better financial situation if they had bought a house! so should i let it out or not? what do you think? Thanx JESS x

I obtained a tadpole that is 6 inches long! He already has powerful back legs which are darkly stripped. He is a very light brownish color. His tail is also speckled... He also has a spot on one side of his body and two whiteish protruding stripes coming down from it... What type of frog might he be?? He could be from anywhere so even geography won't help me to figure it out...

My almost 2 yr old Jack Russel/Papillion mix, has been pooping blood. This started about 3 weeks ago. She was also throwing up constantly, not eating,etc, so we took her to the vet immediately. They said she was a little dehydrated, and did tests, and ruled out parvo, something she swallowed, and did blood work on her, everything looked fine they said to change her diet to a bland meal. Well, it took a while for her pool to turn solid, and for her to get back to normal, she did. She is now done with her meds, and last night would not eat again, this mornign I saw some blood in her stool again, we do plan to take her to a vet, but what could possibly be wrong. I do not want to take her to have them tell me that she is fine again.

I just bought a Betta last night, he lives in a one gallon glass bowl and I purchased "color enhancing betta bits" by Top Fin to feed him. The back of the package says to feed him 3 to 4 pellets two times a day. The petsmart sales person said to feed him 2 or 3 pellets every other day. I am not sure which one to do. (I did not read theback of the pkg until I arrived home so I could not ask the saled clerk why he said one thing and the pkg said another.) Also I bought this fish for my 7 yr old daughter and if I am supposed to feed it every other day can I cut the amount in half so she can still feed it every day since I am afraid she may forget if its not a part of her regular daily routine? One last thing, my daughter found a large pretty rock that she wants to put in the fish bowl. Its just a rock from outside, is that ok if I rinse it good? I don't want to put something in the tank if it will make the fish sick.

I have a cat that has come to my house and Ive taken him in. He now lives with us permanantly but we dont know what age he is. Is there any quizzes or anything you can link me to so we can estimate? He has yellowish teeth but not bad(ive seen cats with a lot worse), a good thick coat(my mum gives him good cat food) and his eyes look very clear. He is quite a slow cat though and has recently fallen while jumping up on a unit.
