Pets - 9 October 2007

We have a 8mo old female Border collie. It is hyper, chews everything, and is unmanageable. Would spaying our pet calm it down? How long does this stage generally last? The dog is loving, but just too destructive!

My Chihuahua Abby will be 2 years old on Oct 25, 2007. She is a larger chihuahua - about 7 lbs. A little bit of family history - I have had her since she was about 10 weeks old. I have a schnauzer who was 4 years old when we bought our Abby so needless to say our schnauzer is pretty dominant (not mean) but weighs about the same size as Abby + approx 2 lbs. Abby goes to the door and barks or scratches the door to get outside. Sometimes she will even come get myself or my husband. When we're home she doesn't need to go outside very often but when we leave her out in the living area at home she will pee in the carpet when we're gone. If we put her up in an extra bedroom ALONE she can stay in there for hours and never pee! I know the answer is to leave her in that room while we're gone but I don't know the root of why she pees. BTW we've NEVER EVER caught her peeing! I'm getting frustrated because she can't even sleep with us without waking up and peein gin our bedroom :( I'm so upset!

I have just seperated my male and female budgie in the same cage with a bar seperation so that they can see each other. I have seperated them because my male budgie seems to be breaking every egg she lays.But now my male budgie becomes very hyper and trys every possible way to get to her.
Should I bring another budgie to keep him company??
Should it be a male or female?? or should i bring a pair??

A birdy just hit my window and is stunned. Do you think he will be okay? I don't want to scare him. I can't stand animals getting hurt!

I have a almost 8 month old yorkie/toy fox terrier and lately her whowho has gotten very big and I noticed a bit of blood on it last night, but it was gone this morning. Does this mean she is in heat? When did the heat start - when her whowho got bigger or when the bleeding started? If she cleans herself constantly will she give herself an infection down there or in her mouth? Is there anything I should do to help her through this time or do I just have to let it "run its course"? I am supposed to get her spayed on the 22, if she is in heat will I have to push the date back?

I adopted a large German Shepherd from the pound a few months ago. I have another GSD and they get along great. The new dog barks excessively when I am not home and is driving the neighbors crazy. I tried the Citronella collar - which sprays citronella at him when he barks instead of shocking him. This is not working at all.
He is driving hte neighbors nuts and I feel terrible for that. I need to fix this asap because they are at their wit's end. He is a big strong, sweet dog.
I have been to many training classes with the other dog and have NOT come across any effective method of training for barking. I am not there when he barks - how do you train a dog not to bark when he never barks in front of you?
IN any event, if you have experience with the collar could you please share it with me.

I have been reading of late several people who know they should spay or neuter their dogs but don't!
I would like you to tell me "Why"? Is it the cost? Is it because you like to have your female go into heat and then don't know what to do? Do you like having your male marking it territory all over your house?
Are you afraid to have it done?
Give me your thoughts on this.
Thanks!
Oh just to be fair, I will say at the right age.

My cat comes back every few days, but he wasn't raised to be an outside cat( for the last year). This has only started recently and if I keep him locked in a room, he pees all over everything. I'm almost resigned to just let him be an outside cat. he seems to leave for 3-4 days then comes back for a day then leaves again. what can i do other then get him neutered?

I've kept my distance from them since I saw them all playing in the parking lot about a week or two ago because I know Mama Cat more than likely won't let me anywhere near her babies, but I loooove watching them play. All of the kittens are absolutely adorable and I'm now worried that they may get hurt. The people in my apartment complex aren't exactly the world's best drivers (there are a few people who park in spots that aren't even parking spaces, if that tells you anything **rolls eyes**), and I'm scared that I'm going to walk outside one day to a run-over kitten :-(
I'm a little if-y about calling the animal shelter because I'm afraid they'll put Mama Cat and her babies to sleep. I already have a VERY territorial cat of my own so I can't take them in myself. What should I do about Mama Cat and her kittens?
