Pets - 11 October 2007

She is a black dog and is a total sweetie. She has been abandoned I''m almost compelely sure, because she has no collar but you can see the mark where the collar once was. She is trained - knows how to sit and beg for treats. But I'm afraid she might have been abandoned because she is sick. I don't notice anything significantly wrong with her but what are some symptoms that I should look for to make sure she's absoloutly healthy.

They were bred for dog fighting since 200 years ago. With 2000 breeds of dogs to choose from why would you choose a pitbull which are in the news constantly about attacking PETS and KIDS or GRANNIES or even their OWNERS! See the latest stories here. http://news.google.com/news?client=opera&rls=en&q=pitbull+attack&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wn

Insurance companies wont insure your house for financing and most apts wont take them so they are dumped in the shellters where a million are put to sleep every year. They attack suddenly without warning and wont stopp until the victim is lifeless. England and Australia have banned them as well as scores of cities. So why would one buy such a dog?

Please help me decide the best dog to get..
I have a 5 month old jack russell/beagle female spayed
and cats
my choices are:
1. "Cockapoo" puppy from a breeder
2. Siberian husky from a rescue (less than a year old) male
3. lab/border collie mix from rescue
4. spaniel/lab mix from rescue

I love the lab/collie. But I never owned a border collie before, i know they need a job to do but I dont know what job to give them. I have lots of times for long walks and play and parks on weekends.

What are your favorite dogs out of those choices?? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELP!!

My tank has been up and going for a week now and the amonia level is still at 0.75. Is it safe to add my mollies, or should I wait? (we have another tank that is overcrowded so I am moving the male mollies to the new tank)

Also, just out of curiosity, what are some other fish that are easy to find (I live in a fairly small city) that I can put with the mollies besides platies, guppies, etc? Something, ya know, more interesting...and colorful;)

I would like to know if what i have done for my guppy is the correct thing. I bought a seperate tank for her, put some breeding grass and plenty of plants in it and put her in this tank. She has been in this tank for almost a week. Should i release her back into the community tank for a little while or keep her in the tank i have her in now?

There was a stray cat under my house who had kittens, they've all moved out, I've blocked all access holes and I have fleas in my house now. I am going to get a bomb. Should I do it in my house, or under my house!? Will it have the same effect if I do it under the house!? If I do it in the house do I need to cover furniture and everything!?

George, my six-month-old male kitten, has been acting strange for a few days now. He is normally very sweet and loving; always wants to cuddle and be petted (to the point that it's almost annoying if he weren't so cute...) For the past three or four days, though, he's been really moody...edgy, jumpy, kind of startled when I go to pet him, doesn't want to snuggle or be held like usual. I don't know what his deal is, but I'm worried because he never usually acts like this. He doesn't really act sick...he doesn't seem to be in pain, he's still playful and energetic, just really wired and jumpy.

I'm taking him to the vet next week to get neutered (his littermate, my other cat, is getting spayed that day as well). I don't know - could this be a "puberty" thing? I have noticed him licking himself "down there" a lot more often lately...he seems kind of fixated on it, actually. I don't know if that's significant or not...

So, any ideas as to what's going on with little George?? Thanks!

I hate this myth, and can't beleive so many people keep passing it around as fact. If it was true, then you can put a 15 inch oscar (those serious aquarists know how messy they are) in a 15 gallon tank. This is so wrong and leads so many beginers down the wrong path. I just want to hear peoples response, and if anyone agrees with the myth, let me know why. Either way free 2 points, 10 to the answer I like the best.

So, I'm going to get a 5 gallon tank, and I'm sure it's different than taking care of a 2 gallon tank since it has a filter and heater. So basicly I need to know: How much water do you change and how often? What size heater do you need? And, what sort of filter is good?
This will be for 1 male betta. =]

I came home to find out my cat had given birth. The kittens were scattered around the house so I put them in a box next to her, but she took them in her mouth and now they're under the couch. I fear that somebody might harm her or the kittens since the couch is a place in which there is someone almost always. Also I want them to be somewhere where their waste is away from us and any common areas and that is easy to clean. There aren't many places around the house where I could put her and since the neighborhood is full ot cats with no owners that are constantly entering the house to eat and I fear that they might do something to the kittens or her, since she is very little.

She did it yesterday before I went to school. It looked like she was at first. When I picked her up, her stomach felt a little weird. So I immediately put her in her litter box but she hopped out and vomited on the floor instead. She isn't doing it anymore though today. What do you think caused this?

Well here's a little detail. We hold her every once and a while. She doesn't eat too much. She just eats when she's hungry. Also we usually get her Friskie's that has the carnation milk with it. We went to the store several days ago, but they didn't have any, so we had to get her Deli-Cat.

Here's a picture of her, just to let you see what she looks like. :)

I know she's fine, but I just wanna know what you think caused this.
