Pets - 25 September 2007

Yesterday, I had my male cat neutered. His sister cried all night for him, and I know she missed him. Today, I brought him home from the clinic, and now all she wants to do is hiss and growl at him. Why? Should I keep them separated for a while, or just leave them alone? This is driving me crazy. If anyone has been through this, please help!!?? Thank you

Every night about 4am my 2 cats miow outside the bedroom continually, they are not hungry as we feed them just before bed. We/I then have to go onto the landing, give them each a hug then they go back downstairs to their own bed. We have tried to leave them but the longest we left it was an hour of miowing...we had to go and pick them up, and fuss them - for about 20 seconds and then they tootle off downstairs...how can I stop this??? Ive tries locking them out but they miow even louder from outside...

I live in a decent size apartment, well I think its decent size (1200 sq ft) Anyways, I need some ideas on what type of dog would be best. I have a full time job, I leave in the mornings around 6:30 and I usuaslly dont get back til around 3:30 or 4. My girlfriend is in school til about lunch and then goes to her job. So she can come by everyday during lunch and let it out for a few minutes. Anyways does anyone have any suggestions on what type of dog I should get??

I purchased my home in June ’06. I immediately had a land survey done. The survey showed the neighbor was 5ft ON my property. I wanted my 5 feet wide x 50ft long. I took the survey over to my neighbor to show him, immediately he was angry with me. How dare me!!? Anyways..he moved his fence, installed a new one. Since then I have caught him & his wife watching my daughter & I play or just being outside. I finally was able to catch the neighbor on film looking over my fence watching from a step ladder. Now as of two days ago he added lattice & bamboo. 3 feet additional height to the 6 ft fence. Now a 9ft high fence. I searched online and he has no current permit. Also his cats (4) have pissed all over my vehicles & garden beds. I want them away and I want his 9ft fence lowered so he can't hide and watch us! What can I do? BTW, my neighbor is a retired Army Master Sargeant, no one tells him anything! I am in the state of Maryland if that helps. AA county.

She is a lab/german shepard/border collie mix. She usually only does this outside and bites really hard, tugs on my clothes and rips them. I try ignoring her or not moving and she just tugs and bites harder, what should I do to stop her from doing this?

I just rescued a stray cat and I am taking her to the vets tomorrow (Wednesday) to get spayed and to have her shots done. She will be there all day (from 8am-7pm) Is there anything i can do to prep her for the surgery? What about things to make her more comfortable after surgery?

Thanks

my dog is 11 in jan and she has always been sprightly and active being half whippit. but recently she started chewing her foot and was limping on it...shes done this before and the vet always gave her tablets to clear it up (we had tests done to see why she was doing this but they never found out) she also started for the first time licking her belly which came out in lumps and the skin turned dark and wrinkly. now she refuses to walk anywhere...yet when she eventually gets to the park she runs a little bit and seems fine. im thinking of getting her a doggy pushchair to wheel her to the park cos it takes forever and she keeps stopping and shes too heavy to carry. it breaks my heart tho as she use to love her walks..is it just old age? i always thought she would live to 17 but now im not to sure. she means so much to me..i got her when i was 13 and was being horrifically bullied, if it hadnt been for her i would not be here today. i love her so much and just want to help her.

I killed a Goldfinch today, my cat Molly had it. It was half dead and in shock, so I've taken my advise I have given to others here and drowned the poor thing. I took it in my hand and submerged it in cool water. A few bubbles later it was in peace and out of pain, I feel kinda guilty for taking a life but I thought it was the kindest thing to do.
Dose anyone concur?

I am worried that my kitten will get cold if he does not sleep in his nice warm basket now the nights are getting much colder.
I have tried different baskets, as I thought that maybe he did not like his basket (even tried a cardboard box!!) but he just sleep where he drops ! Is this ok ?
