I have a chihuahua, I've had her for about 2 months. She was very playful with me. She would always be hyper. But lately, she has been feeling sick or something. She doesn't want to eat. She's all skinny now. She's weak. Doesn't want to do anything. What's wrong with her? What should i do? PLEASE HELP!

2 week old puppy got messy poop over the back of his sister. Should I clean her off with a damp washcloth or leave it to the mama to clean? So far she hasn't cleaned it eventhough she usually licks up any poop the puppies make. Sorry for the nasty nature of this question but I do need advice.

What should I do to cool her down? Getting too hot is dangerous for cats, isn't it?

ok, so i have 5 rats.
Jack, Shyloh, Oreo, Tucker, and then another one that i haven't named yet (the name options, if you wanna help me out on that too, are Remy--like from "Ratatouille"--, Mocha, and Milano--the brand of cookie. coz he kinda looks like a cookie. he's a brown dumbo rat with white paws and a white patchy/speckled belly.)
Anyways, so like whenever i stick my hand into their cage, or even go near their cage, they start making this funny noise, like they're chewing on something. They're not scared of me, coz they all run up to the cage door when they see me, and all try and pile onto my hand at the same time. and they do play with me and let me hold them. so i don't think it's a fear thing. they also continue to do this as a i pet them.
what does it mean?
also, my rats lick me ALL the time, ALL over. is that because i taste yummy (lol), or are they giving me ratty kisses?

I know its so they cannot have pups anymore as well as to curb aggression, etc... but my question is how is it done? do they chop the testicles off? or seal some pipe? Thanks in advance

I felt like sleeping on the couch so i bought my blanket and pillow. I fell asleep it was a good sleept until. I woke up my head was hanging off the edge of the pillow. I looked my cat had the whole pillow. I petted her lightly saying "Hey give me some pillow." She opened her eye slightly and swooshed her tail over my face and went back to sleep.

I laughed and got up and got another pillow and put it at the other end of the couch. I went to get something to drink when. I can back she was laying at my new spot. I looked at her and ok I'll take my old spot. As soon as I lay my head down she came back. I laughed so hard I wasn't sleepy anymore.

Has this happened to anyone else. I would really love to hear it.
thanks

YES - I tried FRIDGE IT activated carbon on my cat's litter box and OMG, it works fantastic for this too. I had the worst odors from the litter box with 2 cats that I just could not get rid of. I tried everything including baking soda, various litter and lots of fragrances that just covered up some of the smell for awhile. This product really worked to ELIMINATE the stink from the litter box. Now, that room doesn't smell any more. See my earlier comment. Does anyone else use this product and where else can you buy it?

I originally found a product that really, really works to actually get rid of the fish odor in fridge and bad smelling ice in freezer. I've tried baking soda, lemons, and just about everything else. You've got to try this - FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. It's a little purple cube odor absorber and IT REALLY WORKS.
Anyone else use this product? Love to share stories when I find such a great product that does what it says it will do PLUS more.

On saturday we adopted a 6 year old female cat. We also have a 14 month old male cat who weve had since he was a kitten. As i dont really know much about the adopted cats past, i dont know what behaviour is normal and whats not. She has a lovely temprement and she is petite (much smaller then my other cat!) Since she came on saturday morning she has stayed in the kitchen on the top of the fridge only moving to eat and toilet. My other cat sometimes follows her then he usually swipes for her and she seems quite scared, Is this why she is staying on the fridge? Also last night i noticed she was drooling alot, is this caused by fear? Is 6 years old quite old for a cat and is it normal for her to spend most of the day on the fridge. (they have both been neutered) What is normal behaviour for a 6 year old cat?

Would you prefer to ride a horse who hasn't been broke yet, a green broke horse, or a dead broke horse.(this is mainly towards the people who are experienced in riding)

OK... don't know if that made sense. But I know that a lot of responsible breeders say things like "I've rescued more dogs than I've bred" or "If you breed dogs you should also be helping with the pet overpopulation problem."

So I'm considering getting a dog. This would be a show dog who would be bred (after titles and genetic testing). I'm at the very early stages of even considering this, but I want to make sure I know precisely what I'd be getting in to.

This is a personal question. I know that nobody can say for someone else what is "enough" in terms of "giving back" to dogs when you've produced a litter of puppies.

But I do agree that if you produce a litter of puppies you should be responsible for those pups for their life and also do something for homeless dogs.

So, for you, what do you think is appropriate to give back to dogs when you breed?

2007-10-02 08:00:48 · 15 answers · asked by Cleoppa 5 in Dogs

what factors did you use in determining what dog or breed was right for you and your family.
for example:
did you choose that littl yorkie poo because your friends had one.
That lab because he was good for your family.
that poodle because he was the last purebred at the shelter.
that mutt because he was super cute.
Did yuo put thought into what dog you wanted and where you got it from?
Just curious


my answer:
my husband I I wanted a small, calm dog.
We searched several shelters and rescues before we drove 3 hours to pick up skipper.

It is only when he has been in his crate and I let him out to go outside. I have to pick him up to bring him down the stairs, because he is still too little to walk down them and he tinkles little drops everywhere. He is a shepherd and terrier mix. How can I stop this...Please!

You know how people always say to spay and neuter your dogs and cats, I am all for that but wont it eventually lead to dog and cat extinction if they keep reproducing less and less to the point that they will not reproduce and more becuase the goal is to spay and neuter all.

A squirrel has taken residence in my back yard. He sits on a brick wall that separates my house from my neighbors. He does this day after day. He appears totally motionless, like he's dead. I've seen him scurrying around so I know he's not hurt. Why is he just sitting there? Or could it be a she and there's a nest I don't see with her babies in it that she's protecting? My dog hates squirrels and will probably kill it if given the chance. So now I have to be careful when my dog is relieving himself in the back yard. What is going on here?

I took him to the vet and all he said was to try to feed him different foods to find one that he likes better, but he still doesn't want to eat.

The term "neuter" seems to be used exclusively for male dogs in these days. Did "castration" sound too harsh????
IMHO, "neutering" procedure applies to both male/female dogs.
Bitches get "spayed", poor guys "castrated" ,,,,,, can I be correct?

I have two kittens that are on Antibiotics to get rid of their stuffy noses and runny eyes. One had a cough but that cleared right up in a day. I've had them on the antibiotics for over a week and they're still stuffy and have runny eyes. I'm just curious of when these should clear up. I know meds take times sometimes.
