Pets - 24 September 2007

I have currently been using Kibbles and Bits. However, the pet resort where I take my pups when I go out of town told me that Kibbles was very unhealthy for them and that I should switch to Eagle Brand. That stuff is 20 dollars a bag! What is a healthy (no by-products) brand I should use that is also affordable? By the way, I have two dogs-one is 10 months old and one 2 years old (I use the same kind for both).
Thanks!

All of our pets have been named for food (muffin, taffy, butterfinger and cookie dough). We already have a black cat named licorice and just got a new black kitten, but can't think of another food name. Any ideas?

If a venomous snake bit itself on the tongue, would it poison itself?

Recently i purchased 3 black ghost knifefish from the local fish shop. They didn't want to eat and they just laid at the bottom of the tank or they were just hiding behind the filter. After 2 days later all 3 died. Just asking, do the fishes come to the surface and eat ? I tried everything. Bloodworms, pellets and flakes but they didn't eat. I even tried to place the worm in front of their mouth. What could have resulted in their death? I added anti-chlorine, could that have led to their death ? I had floating plant, tubes and gravel in the tank.

My husband and I just got a 8 month old puppy Saturday.
The puppy seemed fine untill Sunday morning. Although his paperwork says he is a shepard / lab mix, he has black spot on his tongue like a chow.


On Sunday, my husband woke up and took him outside, but he didn't relive himself, instead he pooped and peed on my carpet. He did fine all day, even though we put him out several times throughout the day, he still peed on the blanket in his cage.

I need any and all good suggestions to break his peeing and pooping in the house (even in his cage.)

Thank you!

she is thirsty a lot, and not eating much at all, I'm worried about her age with these symtoms, she has cateracts, hip displasia, artritious, but dispite that is a pritty happy dog, I'm worried about losing her I have had her, her whole life, I would love to have something to go on when we go to the vet so I'm just not walking in there again saying "something is wrong with my dog, help" that usualy cost a lot with tests and ex-rays and stuff. any help will be apreciated.

I was at my sisters house saturday morning.
she has a lovely little border collie - a rescue dog - which is very sweet natured, except it hates people in hats or baseball caps. it was badly abused before being rescued and we assume it was by someone who wore a baseball cap, or suchlike.

I took the dog for a walk, and tied it up outside the post office while getting the newspaper.
In the meantime, a woman came along with a child in a baseball cap.
the woman tried to pet the dog, and it went for her. bit her arm, but didnt break the skin.

obviously she was very angry. She said the dog should be muzzled, etc, etc.

in my opinion, the dog is not to blame, when a strange person tries to pet it without knowiung the dog or asking permission.

all relevant views welcome
what do you think?

My friend just gave me her beta fish because she didn't want it anymore. She had just gotten it a few months ago, so I don't think it is that old. Well, my Beta Fish, and all my other fish prior to this seems to die fast. The most was a month. This one lasted about a week. Anyways, I've read about the SBD and using water bottle (sadly after it died). And yes, I did fed it twice a day..so maybe it was that, but why does it have these fussy/cloudy stuff around it??? It cling onto the the top of the fake plants in there. Now I know that it's suffocating but most of my fish end up having that fussy thing. I wonder..is it because of the water? is it because of my room? is it too stuffy? I'm guessing these fussy stuff are caused by bacteria. I want to know, what exactly are they, how is it cause, and how can i prevent it. I did use this chemical that suppose to calm the fish, but so far, I haven't use any bacteria remover chemical. so yeah, what can it be. It was so pretty, red w/ long fins.
