Pets - 3 October 2007

I am doing a project at school where we have to maintain a fish tank for the entire year, but my fish keep disappearing! So far, two of them have just diappeared. The tank is covered, and the fish we have in the tank are: 5 neon tetras, 2 cardinal tetras, 3 albino corys, and 3 fancy guppies. So far, 1 of the cardinal tetras and 1 of the guppies have disappeared. Why is this happening?

Obvious question, I know. They're highly recommended by many very knowledgeable people and they've been around for decades.

But honestly, I've never had a dog who cares a thing about Kongs. I'll stuff Kongs with different stuff (peanut butter, kong stuffing, mostly loose dog food with a little bit of moist stuff). I've used big Kongs, little Kongs, soft puppy Kongs... Generally, the dogs nose it and nudge it for a few minutes and give up. Then it's forgotten by the people and the dogs for months or years before it's found with disgusting, moldy food in it.

Is there a trick to Kongs? Is it just that some dogs don't like them and others do? I'm mostly just curious.

She likes the Dingy doggy chews. They are small and just her size. But how often should you give them to her? She likes to chew on everything. She does not like the faked bones. What else can we provide to her?

He gets bathed like every other week and I know he's not allergic to the dog shampoo, he also is on Advantage for the fleas. I think he has allergies. I'm wondering if you can put baking soda or Aveeno, or oatmeal or something natural in the bath to stop the scratching/chewing going on. My Mom says that I should put vinegar in their drinking water.

From what I gather spaying /neuter surgery leads to killing of dog's basic instinct and become docile..I feel so guilty looking at my friend's dog who got sprayed. Does the dog deserve this kind of treatment for being your best friend & loyal companion. What would you feel if some one did this to you (i.e. placing myself in that dog place).. I always wish to adopt a dog but afraid to put my dog (and my consciouses ) through this.. Thanks in advance your answer..

I was just wondering if the question and answer deleting police would be happy if the guidelines were changed so that the asker or answerer deleted could know who deleted them and for what reason they claimed offense???

Yeah, I know i'm asking this in "dogs" but thats because this is where the biggest problem tat I've seen exists. I post 80% of my ?'s & Answers in Football, which is crowded with testosterone driven football fanatics and they don't go around deleting ?'s & answers because they get their feelings hurt or opinions contradicted. They simply remark on their answer or add details and move on. I personally find MOST of the people here in "dogs" to be genuinely honest and sincere people. Freedom of speech and yes even opinion, in AMERICA, is what we fought to death for, and it sickens me that some fiendish troll can censor at will. Personal diff aside, what is your thoughts on this as it appears in "dogs"?

A friend of mine has a very old cat which is not well. She is worried about going to a vet because she is sure the vet will put the cat down. She will miss her cat but she is equally worried how much the vet will charge for this service. I would like to pre warn her so if you know roughly how much it will cost please answer this post.

Thanks

I bought a budgie a few days ago. When I put my hand in the cage it goes to the other side, but when my brother does it, it will not move. Also, my budgie randomly chirps so I whistle back. How will I get it to trust me?

She's about 3 months old.

she spends hours playing with her toys, climbing the tree and sitting in the window.

everytime we try to pet her, she attacks us, bites us and scratches us. We leave her alone and she will just pop out from behind something as you walk by her and attack your feet.

She purrs CONSTANTLY. While she is attacking us, she's purring. She loves being scratched behind her ears, and it's almost as if she doesn't understand that she CANT bite/scratch us because it hurts.

We've tried spraying her with water with a firm "NO'. but - it continues.

She isn't sick, she's been to the vet, she's got an appointment to be fixed next week and she's got a clean bill of health.

Is there any way to make her nicer?

She seems perfectly normally, she is about 1 month - 2 months I am not really sure because I got her from someone who had kittens, I have had her for about 3 weeks and she plays a lot, and usually when she does after she pants pretty bad and acts kinda funny and meows and stuff like that. She doesn't really drink water as much but she loves to drink milk [maybe theres an issue there I'm not sure] she is playful and fun but I'm just getting worried about her panting and acting funny, I have an appointment for her first shots in about a week and a half but for now I'm just looking for some advice or tips. My room is actually pretty hot [we took out the AC' s] and I have 2 fans going and I'm trying my best to keep her from running around chasing balls, any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I have a dog who is vary aggresive. Her aggresiveness is intermittant and cant really be pined to any specific thing. I have taken her to the vet and he thinks she might have a neurolgical promlem that might be causing her to act like this. I thought it would get better but it has been like this since she was a puppy, she is now 3 years old. She bites and sometimes wont even let us get near her. Other days all she wants to do is give affection. I love this dog to death, she is my baby. If the doctor is right and from what he says is the problem it will not be operable. Do i put her down or let her live out the rest of her life with these intolerable mood swings. I cant live with her while she has unpredictable behavior patterns. It's to much for me and its breaking my heart. Please any suggestions other than a dog training class, been there done that! Thanks
