I bought a 2.5 gallon tank and it has a filter but does it need a heater? I just realized that it didn't come with a heater. Thanks.

Should I stay at home with the puppies or should I just go to work? One of the puppies has a string like (embilical cord maybe) one its stomach. I see that she licks and maybe try to bite it off. Is that normal?

I have 2 cats. One is an angel, and the other is a lil terror. He has created such problems for me. But I love him dearly!! The landlord said, either the problem cat goes, or i will be evicted. He doesn't use his kitty box like he is supposed to. I have tried several different things. I changed litter brands. Got the expensive Dr. Elselys brand. I have 4 kitty boxes that I change daily. I put down foil where there are the most problem areas. I have sequestered him in the back room. I have also taken him to the vet to check for UTI.
I have tried to find a home for him, but no luck yet. I would move, but can't afford to. Where would I take him? I have been looking into getting an apt where the landlord would be willing to work with me on security/pet deposits, but also have had no luck........any advice? Please keep in mind, I do not want to get rid of him!!

okay so i heard that all kittens are born with worms. So if you were to get a kitten and did not deworm it yet, are these "worms" contagious to humans?

One of my dogs from my breeding program has become extremely ill since Monday when the owners opened a new bag of Canidea and fed her. She has had fever, lethargic, hives, diahrrea, vomiting and will not eat.
The owner called Canidea and has learned there is a new problem. PLEASE BE AWARE!! I am sorry this is NOT a question but I feel it is urgent to get the word out anyway possible.

Sorry for the repeat but I wanted to do it right by having pics available from the start this time.

We have a dog that came from the Humane Society. She is 5 and weighs 47 lbs. with natural tail and ears. She loves to keep her nose to the ground while on walks and has a bark that sounds like a sea lion when she's excited. They told us she was a B & T mix but I'm curious to the opinions of others, especially those of you more familiar with the breeds.

She is wonderful with kids and we love her no matter what kind of mutt she is.

my friend has 3 kittens that is totaly covered in fleas and i feel so bad for them. They are only 3 weeks old what would be safe for her to use on them?

2007-10-15 11:43:46 · 11 answers · asked by KarmenS 1 in Cats

Is Seven Dust dangerous to use on your pets for fleas? I have seen it mentioned a few times in the dog, horse, and cat forum, so I went and bought a bag. But I am a little scared of it.
How would I go about using it and can it harm me or my family?
I have a 9 lb mini schnauzer, and a 120 lb Neopolitan bMastiff that have fleas. Need the fleas gone, cause I am not kickin my babies outside. Its too cold.
Also, can it be used on cats too? I just found a very small kitten, that is infested with fleas. She is too little to keep outside too.
(And no the fleas didnt come with the cat as the dogs already had them, and the kitten was found with em allllllll over the poor baby)

Thanks for the help!

I had to put my angel to sleep today,she was 18y/o and had terrible arthritis.Today she couldn't get up,and when I looked into her face I could dee how much pain she was in.My wife and I took her to the vet and he agreed that euthanasia would be the best thing we can do for her.So we laid her on the table and put her favorite pillow under her head,telling her what a good girl she was.When the vet gave her the shot she was so brave,didn't even whimper.She looked me in the face and I could see the relief in her eyes. Right before she passed she kissed my wife, then me on the chin.I know it was for the best,but it hit me so hard.My wife got me Lady(my dog's name) on our first anniversary and she has been our baby for the last 18 years.I didn't want to cry in front of her,I didn't want her to feel anything but my love,but as soon as her eyes closed I was sobbing.Has anyone else ever felt so lost after losing their pet?Any suggestions on how to make myself face the day without my angel?

What does that mean about the quality of the dog I am getting? I know it doesn't ensure anything, but what exactly does it mean.

The breeder that is talking with me has told me that her dogs breed once a year (if that) and that her puppies have AKC champions in the bloodline.

She sent me pedigree paperwork and there are like 6 champs on the dad's side and 3 on the mom's.

Does this mean that if I am interested in showing my pup there is a good chance he will be quality enough to do so?

Thanks!

We had fleas earlier this year, but Frontline quickly took care of that. My vet said I only needed to treat the cats for three months because they only live indoors. So they aren't currently on any flea treatment.

I swear I pulled a flea (singular) off one of my cats on Saturday. I checked both cats on Saturday and again a bit ago, but I don't see any other fleas or dirt on their bellies. Could we have fleas with no visible flea dirt?

I'm starting them back on Frontline this week for sure. I don't think we have a huge problem yet, but we're packing to move. 3/4 of our crap is already in boxes. If we do have fleas, anyone have a clue if they can survive in the boxes? I'm hoping not.

Also, the house we're moving to has been empty for months and will be cleaned before the cats are moved. If the previous owers had dogs, is there any chance there are still living fleas or eggs in the house?
