Pets - 24 October 2007

We recently adopted a greyhound (ex-racer) and had her for 3 weeks now. So far, she has been a real lady, minding her manners and coming around with affectionate behavior. We have a Cairn terrier and 2 cats. We still keep a soft muzzle on her when the other pets around just in case since she is new to everything and we want to make sure she is small pet friendly (she was tested by the organization as being that). Whenever the cats come into the room, she perks her ears up, wags her tail and whimpers and will occasionally swat at our Cairn terrier’s behind when he gets rowdy. I can’t tell if this is being playful or nervous/scared behavior. She has responded well to the word “no” when she gets too nosy with the Cairn terrier and the cats, but she looks alert enough to chase. It sounded like she was clicking her teeth last night when she spotted the cat. Does anyone know what this means? I know she wants to smell the cats for inspection, but I am still nervous. Thanks.

My Chocolate lab just had 1/4 golden Ret. 3/4 Lab puppies. 7 to be exact. I'm afraid that she isn't producing enough milk to feed all of them as there are 3 pups that continuously cry... all the time. My husband doesn't think we need to take them to the vet but I think we should. Maybe it would be helpful to our lab if all the puppies were well fed and gave her a break, she is warn out and has not slept at all in 3 days. Should I go to the vet and get some bottles and supplements?

She was tested and had all her shots since she was a baby. I had her on Revolution once a month. She was one year old. Then, just this week, she quit eating and drinking and hid under the bed. When we took her to the vet yesterday, he said she was full of luekemia and he put her to sleep. We are devastated and can't believe it happened especially since she was tested as a baby and got all of her shots. She was always healthy and active and loving. Then, in just 3 or 4 days she is gone.

Ok...His name at the moment is Chester, he is chestnut, 17hh and a gelding...der lol He is very fat and big build. He acts like a big tough guy but the smallest thing will scare him (like my helmet laying on the ground :P lol ). He is great to ride when he is not spooking, his a great jumper but wont let any other horse beat him when out on a trail trying to trot. He will either buck and bolt, rear and bolt or all three and is an ANGEL by him self on a trail....any ideas for names for my big baby?

Sadly, I have a family member with a puppy that has been diagnosed with Parvo. I know the routine on cleaning hard surfaces and taking care of the yard, but what I want to ask is what to use for the carpets and furniture. Is there anything available that will properly disinfect these things without using bleach, which could ruin the carpet (they are in a rental house)?

Hoping to get some good info to pass on to them and help them get thru this. Thanx.

Just wondering your opinions on this matter. We own a 5 year old Wired Haired Pointing Griffon (a pointer dog).
My mom usually feeds him 2 cup fulls a day of his food. I keep telling her that 1 cup is plenty for him. Plus he's over weight.
What do you all think? Is it good to feed him 2 cup fulls a day (not at once...at two different times during the day...when he wants it), or just one cup full in the morning?
Thanks!!

We are having problems with cats and we got a cat trap and I was told that if you let a cat go once that the cat will never go into the trap again.

My dog is close to twelve months and ever since he was born he slept inside the house. He hates staying outside by himself but now that my grandparents are moving in he has to go outside. During the night he barks loudly for the majority of the night. What can i do to make him be comfortable?

He is a maltese x shi tzu if that makes any difference...

My dog, Max, is a American Bulldog, full breed. We've had him since he was 8 weeks old. He was the runt of the litter. And at almost 3 years old, he only weighs 90-95 lbs. How do I get him to put on some weight, he should be in the 100-120 range. I feed him, and I've taken him to the vet, he's healthy. He just doesn't seem to want to gain more weight.
Thanks!
(I have a female, and she's in her average weight area)

The ultimate question is: Does my cat really love me? Or is this just an illusion?
