Pets - 13 October 2007

I was googling some things and I found an article about these dogs called Bully Whippets, born to normal Whippets but have some strange genetic mutation that makes them gain muscle mass. Take a look at this:

Wow, once everyone finds out about them, they're going to be the new Pit Bull. Aren't they scary?

He is also taking amoxcicillin. He only has to take it for 3 days. How long after he stops taking it will the increased thirst and frequent urination continue?

I have a 1 year old gsd, and right now, I can tell he's underweight. I can see his rib cage from his side, and his spines. I fill his bowl with food every day and fresh water, but he only eat a little bit at a time, and sometimes, doesn't eat at all. I don't understand how he can not be hungry for the whole day. I've walked him, and it helped a little bit (he would eat a few bites after a walk). I wish I could tell him to eat like I would with a child, but he doesn't understand. So, the question is, what should I do? I can't really buy him all the health supplements or additional food product that would help with his appetite, but if the price is reasonable, I will consider it. We're broke right now and can't afford much. Thanks in advance, and please, no nasty replies about me being the worst owner whatsoever. Don't judge what you don't know and cannot see.

My dog is 3 years old, neutered and is potty trained. Except lately when he goes to my friends house, who usually dog sits him for me, he has started lifting his leg in their house. It is a neon yellow spray, and it is staining their home. How do I get him to stop lifting his leg in other peoples houses?

I have a small red eared slider turtle. I now keep him in a small aquarium with rocks at the bottom with just about 2 1/2 inches of water. Can I put him in deep water? Can they swim?

I have,
I was so in love with this horse that I rode for 2 years. She started to get sick. She was cushing and then she started foundering. She was no longer ridable, so I would stop by her paddock and see her. By that time I had gotten my first pony. I was foucesing on my new pony and getting him ready for a show that I had stopped seeing Miss Dee. When she got worse I went to go see her everyday. One day I went to go see her out in her padock and she wasent there. I went to her stall and she wasent there. So I asked my riding teacher where Miss Dee was and she told me she was put down. I was devistated. My heart stopped beating and I brsted into tears. The next hour I spent in her stall crying thinking about all the good times we have had together. She was 23 when she was put down, but she was in a better place. I really miss her but I now can except that shes gone. Nobody will ever replace that mare. But shes in a better place Goodbye Miss Dee I will always love you

I've read some mixed answers on the internet and seen labs at dog parks act kind of bullying (but maybe just because they are so muscular).

I want to rescue a lab puppy and raise him with my current puppy who is a small breed but thinks shes big (jack russell mix) and loves playing with big dogs.

But at dog parks the golden retreiver types are nice to her and play good. The labs are rough.Is this generally how they are? thank you in advance.

3 of my dogs suffer from flea allergies can you give me any good shampoos, ointments, or drops that will help me keep the fleas off my dogs and allow their hair to grow back and keep my dogs from itching. Thanks

My dog is bichon frise and he gets fleas really bad!!! I've tried it all, Frontline, K9 advantix,Capstar, Shampoos And brewers yeast. He stays infested I have no problem killing the fleas just keeping them off. None of my other animals have them. I've even had the yard& house proffesionally treated more than once. I know my other animals don't have them because I check dailly. I even use shampoo that is not supposed to wash off my flea treatments. Something about this dog just attracts them, he is covered in sores from digging and scatching. I've been to 4 different vets. they just keep telling me to treat his enviroment. I have!!! and you don't see other people who take their dogs with them everywhere they go have this problem and you know they are not always in a flea free area. I thought they were supposed to repel also . PLEASE HELP I'M DESPERATE!!!!!!!

I have 2 Fancy Goldfish, 1 gold and 1 shubunkin. Both fish have marks on them which look like blood bruises. The gold one is also spending a lot of time at the water surface not gasping for breath just floating just beneath water level. they both look well and are showing no signs of illness. I have noticed on close inspection that they have white spot, they have had this before and with treatment it cleared up quickly. The water looks clean and is regulary changed I only feed flakes once a day. I have noticed a the bottom of the filter tube is brown coloured.

Hi,
I am going to get a ball python pretty soon and want to save some money. The branches at the pet store are like $12 each and to get two of them can be anywhere from 20-25 dollars. We recently cut down a tree by our house and had a lot of extra branches, I know the branches at the pet store are probably treated with something, is there anything I can do here at home to treat the branches? Anything I need to soak it in? Or is it better just to go ahead and buy them at the store?
And also, just some advice for a first time snake owner would be great. I know ball pythons are great for first timers. Just some facts would be great!!
Thanks : )
