Pets - 30 September 2007

My salt water tank is about 8 weeks along. There is lots of live rock, 2 shrimp, feather dusters, 2 urchins, lots of hermit crabs and snails, a sand-sifting starfish, 3 damsels, 1yellow tang, 1 royal blue tang, 5 engineer gobies, and one lawnmower blennie.
I just added the urchins, sand sifting star, snails, and blue tang last evening. I moved the live rock around and stirred up the sand quite a bit.
This morning I woke up and found that all 5 gobies have what appears to be ick. None of the other fish are affected.
The gobies are eating, breathing, and swimming normally. They are even digging out the holes I covered up when I move the sand around.
Could ick have really developed that fast?
I just tested the water yesterday and everything is perfect.
From what I've read, gobies are pretty hardy fish. I would have thought that the tangs would present symptoms before anything else.
Would it make more sense that the gobies may have gotten a fungus or worms?
Please Help!!!!!!!

We just found a tiny white kitten on the road on the way home, she's really really white, and has sharp blue eyes. Any name ideas?

There is a weasel living in our barn ... I've seen it myself. My 3 year old, declawed cat got tore up pretty badly by something last week and the vet thought it could be a raccoon or a weasel but definitely not a Fisher. The cat's okay but refuses to go outside...which is a good thing! No one around here's heard of a weasel attacking a cat though. Anyone out there ever hear of such a thing happening???

I routinely use FRONTLINE on my golden retreiver for fleas, though now for the first time she has fleas, she has also done a round of Rx Capstar meds from my vet... we are about 10 days shy of her next FRONTLINE treatment, can I put FRONTLINE on her before the the end of the 30 day cycle???? (BTW we have not seen fleas in our house, just on the dog)

Hopefully calm him down since he goes nuts in the house, is there a chance he could get fleas if i put advantage on him since it is time for him to have it and a flea collar? And would he come back?

She has redness around her snout and lower jaw. I've never seen this before, and I'm convinced it's not fleas...

Thanks in advance for any help.

Warm regards,
Douglas

If a rabbit has myxi and has to be put down could another rabbit have the hutch six months after without getting the virus from the cage?

Big kind of dogs or small ones?

I'm 19 and I've always loved big dogs but I'm afraid it would make me look tomboyish.. I'm such a girly girl so should I get a smaller breed? Are smaller dogs as much fun as big ones?

I am thinking of adopting a young bull mastiff/akita mix. I have no kids, 1 cat, 1 bird, big fenced yard and reasonably large house. I am near a big park with trails I plan on walking with dog daily and have neaxt door neighbors who have an akita purebred. What kinds of problems have you had with your big dog? What do you think is best food for them? What are your average vet bills? How is your dog with your other pets? Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Pet overpopulation is a growing problem:
There are 45 cats and dogs for every one person born.
Only one out of 10 dogs born ever find a permanent home.
Only one out of 12 cats born ever find a permanent home.
800 dogs and cats are destroyed each HOUR in the U.S. because there are not enough homes for them!

Please consider these numbers when you.....


consider letting your pet breed.
neglect having your pet spayed or neutered.
consider buying a pet from a breeder or pet store.
condemn different rescue organizations for euthanizing adoptable pet.
consider a pet for your home. Make sure you are willing and able to make a lifetime commitment to that pet!

I have two fish tanks. I have one for all my tropical fish and one for offspring. I was woundering how large do the offspring have to be so the pregnant mollies dont eat them?
