Pets - 23 October 2007

I have an adult cat who recently had a litter of kittens.
The kittens are old enough to eat by themselves and go to new homes (3 of them actually just went to their home today - we have 1 left), but the mom is still lactating so the kittens still sometimes have her milk.
When can I get her fixed?
Should I wait until all the kittens are to their new homes? How can I tell when she is done lactating after the kittens are gone?

Thanks bunches! I've been wanting to get mommy fixed for awhile, and I want to get it done before she manages to escape outside again.

I have had my Florida River Cooter for 15 years. I have taken very good care of her and made sure that she stays healthy. Recently I let her spend the summer in an outdoor pond at my dads house while we worked on ours at home. She has stayed in this particular pond a few years ago every summer and no negative effects. Now that it is cooling down I went to get her and she has several white spots all over the top and bottom of her shell. These are hard, and I was able to peel one off and the shell under it was the normal color although it wasnt smooth like it should be. Other spots seem to be one layer into the shell. Is this shell rot? Also some of the white spots seem like there is air underneath.... What do I need to do short of taking her to the vet?

How do I get my 8 month old Newfoundland to sit? She is not interested in treats or toys during training...?

I have been trying to get her to Sit, by having her on a leash, taking a treat, and running my hand palm up with the treat just over the top of her head. She glances up, but won't follow it to where I can get her to "sit." I also have tried a toy instead, but she just looks up for a half-second and then just looks ahead. I've also tried being in front of her and on her side (in the "heal" position). In addition, I've tried backing her against the wall. We would have done it sooner - but we just got her three weeks ago.

In short, I can't get her to sit unless I give her a push on her legs from behind basically (I can't push on her back because she is a giant breed). :(

Also - She can do the down command. And, sometimes, she'll just go right to the "lay down."

Any other ideas?

I am preparing for my first puppy and I want to do plenty of research before she arrives.

Any advice you can give me regarding the points below, I'd be grateful for. Just to say, I am not a complete novice with animals, I breed horses and train them but I respect each animal and I know that "you only stop learning when you are dead", so I'm asking for experts to share their knowledge :-)

1) I believe I should feed my puppy several times a day but how many is several?
2) I understand that dogs should not have access to food 24/7, is this true and why?
3) Should I and my family always eat before the dog does, to show we are higher up the hierarchy than the pup?
4) How long before retiring to bed should I remove food?
5) Should ever leave my puppy or dog without water (say over night)?
6) How long should I leave it after a meal, before taking my puppy outside?

Thank you for sharing your experience with me :D

they say it will run off imediatly, never to be seen again! and attack. we recon that if you train them well then they would be fine.
