Pets - 23 October 2007

My fiance is a big cat person. I'm really not a big fan. However, he loves them dearly so I grin and bare it and accept them as part of the family. Both of them have fleas. He has been treating this. One is pulling her fur out until she bleeds. She looks kind of strange. I don't like the idea of having her walking all around his room where I sleep and sometimes eat. There are clumps of hair around with the root and blood. She freaks out ans sometimes uses the bathroom in wrong places. His mom has told him that until she gets well he needs to put her in some sort of smaller area like a bathroom or a large "carrier" or something until she's better. In his room the fleas bite me and I don't like it. He is feuding with his mom because he doesn't want to confine her to a smaller area or anywhere other than his room. Can her presence, blood, sores oozing be a health hazard to me and my fiance? If so can you give me any information I can share with him about it. Thanks for any help!

My goldfish does not move around that much during the day, but at night he is swimming all over the place? Is my fish nocturnal? If so, can I reverse it?

I just got a puppy and he has ticks, due to the fact he was left outside. I have found a few ticks on him but one in particular has almost completely buried itself in his skin. How do i get it out?

This male stray that i have been feeding has really trusted me. He comes to me as soon as i open the door,comes when i call him, rubs against me and rolls on the floor in a friendly way. (we are getting him neutured and vaccianted soon) I have noticed that when i first see him he is all affectionate but after i feed him i can still pet him but he is not that interested.

I have a red ear slider and im just wondering if i can leave him in the aquarium with my huge pear gourami? Ive left him ther before and all he does is swim around and the fish dont seem to mind but im concerned if hes having difficulty swimming all the way up ( a meter ) to the surface to breath. Is he ok with being constantly under water?

Someone told me today that dogs have a higher tolerance for pain than us humans do. Do you think that is the case? (I personally am not sure how that is even measureable - maybe they were just pulling my leg)

I know this is gross, which is why I've put off asking it. Please only answer if you really know. My male dog lives outside in the back yard. I walk him with me three times a week around the neighborhood for about 20 minutes. Even though we walk in the early evening and he gets fed in the mornings, for some reason, he has to poop at least once during his walks. I know he goes in the yard, so I don't see why this is necessary. I understand male dogs peeing on everything, but for gosh sakes! This is highly embarrassing, and I try to keep him out of public view as much as possible. Does anybody know why he does this? (Please no smartalecky answers - I'm plenty embarrassed enough as it is.) Thanks.

Is the Black Jaguar from Central America and I believe some other countries in South America, the fiercest Great Cat to tame or handle?
I understand its ferocity does not lend itself to training at all!
I would be very interested to know, though!

This year I am graduating, going to Natchitoches Northwestern which is, like, two hours from where I live. I've got a six year old Rottweiler x black Lab who lives in our fenced off back yard. Unfortunately, you can't bring any sort of pet to stay with you in the dorm [you've gotta stay on campus for the first year or something]. My parent's are going to take care of her ofcourse, but is it selfish of me to leave her there?
Or would it be better for me to give her to somebody who's not so busy and would be around more often?
I'm really against the latter, but it'll be heart breaking to see her become a different dog with every visit home and eventually end up bored out of her mind.
I'm probably overthinking how horrible it's going to be for her though. But, you know, she's my big hyper fool and I'm going to miss her loads.

my miniture male doxie is so submissive, he lets our other dog chew on his ears, bite him, make him cry....and all he does is roll on his back. he does this with people too and also other dogs. i just dont want him getting hurt. when he was a baby his right testicle never dropped so we had to have him neutered right away (the dr said someone about it could get cancerous...i dunno) could this be a reason hes so submissive? no testosterone? is there any way to make him not such a scardy cat?
