Pets - 28 September 2007

relax, i'm just wondering. I have a male and female cat, they're 7 months and haven't bred yet.
I don't want to hear anything like, "DONT BREED YOUR CAT THERES ALREADY 54327843204789320749320 (or however many) THAT ARE IN SHELTERS" because I already asked a question about that, go here if you'd like to vent about that: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhAOXf_LGLJJzEoBh_WZfKjsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20070928122726AAHzmcw
But what I need/want to know, does it cause or increase birth defects? Thanks ya'll (ESPECIALLY for not mentioning the "YOUR IRRISPONSIBLE PET OWNER")

Our 3 year old Siamese cat had one litter and than we neutered her. Still, about every 2 months she is in heat again and meows all the time like crazy. I feel bad for her and it also gets on our nervs as she is soooo loud. We have another female cat that had a similar history, but she has not been in heat since the operation and I don't think she'll ever be. What happened to the cat? Was the procedure not well made? Or is it something about Siamese cats that is special?
Thxs in advance

My siberian husky has bloodshot eyes from time to time, but no oozing or anything else. Im just wondering what could cause that? There's no scratches, oozing or swelling, just the whites of her eyes get bloodshot...is there anything that could help alleviate this?

i recently got a 2 month old blue nosed pit puppy. she was very sick at first and was skinny and had diarrhea and was dehydraitng quickly. everyone said parvo, parvo, parvo. i was basically sure it wasnt parvo because she wasnt weak or low on energy and as i thought, it was just a bad case of worms.

she is doing entirely better now, has no worms, gained a fair amount of weight and when i went to visit the people i got her from i saw how much m runt had surpassed the rest of the litter already.

now though, i would like to hear from all xor any of you. What is a good vitamin you know of and have tried which has built your big dogs muscles, upped their weight, made them look more appealing??? im not fighting her and shes very energetic, i just want her to bulge out as much as she can because that indicates a very healthy dog. yes i walk her, feed her the right food n all that junk. but what vitamins do you know that will work??? (right now she gets typical walmart ones)

I am thinking about getting a tortoise. It will be my first reptile, so I don't want anything to difficult to care for. I would really like for it to be really active, and have personality, and not be afriad to be out of its shell while im holding it.

Is there any turtle that is like this, not to big, nothing like a sulcata tortoise, or anything big....just a simple little tortoise

What breed would you reccomend?

I found a beagle/chihuaha mix puppy in a mall parking lot & I decided to keep him. Well he is sooo scared of men. Whenever a man even walks in my house he jumps on my lap and barks and growls & if the guy moves too fast he will try and run to bite him. He seems to be ok with me, but if I move to quickly he squints his eyes or cowers like he is going to be hit. What can I do for him?? He is such a sweetie, and Im glad I have him.

My dog has a large amout of fleas that I can not get rid of using over the counter products. I need a home remedy that works very well. I can not afford to take him to the vet.

my dog is a 4 year old black lab mix. lately when we go outside to play with him we have noticed that Tucker will yelp like someone stepped on his paw or something, but we are not near him. this has been happening off and on for the past 2 days. should we get it checked out and does anybody have any ideas as to what it might be?

I know that cats can gain weight after spaying, and she has. Her nipples look bigger and she is producing milk. I know she was spayed on July 3, this year. I was there. (I worked in the vet's office and was in on the surgery.) But now, I'm wondering if the vet might have made a mistake, or what?

What is going on with her? Is this pseudopregnancy, and if so, how long is this going to continue?

What attracted you to that particular breed ?or that individual dog? i have owned a cocker spaniel and labrador retriver mix (adopted from a shelter) i just fell in love with her. i was at petco buying fish food and she was there for one of the special adoption days. she was tiny and precious. her story broke my heart and i knew i had to take her home with me. she had been brought in by a lady who said she couldnt sell her , apparantly she was too big and not cute enough. she was 8 weeks old when i adopted her and she was tiny, she only matured to about 30lbs and very cute. have also owned a rottweiler ,she was a great dog.my friend had to move into an apartment &felt it wasnt fair on her dog to keep her at the apartment. she asked me if i could take care of her for 2 weeks while she was in the process of finding her a home. i took care of her & i couldnt give her back.i couldnt imagine my life without her she just fit rght in as if she had been mine for years.
