Pets - 27 October 2007

I have an American Bull dog, that just kind of wandered into our lives, we call him "Stranger' we keep him outside because we have 3 other dogs in the house. He is well fed, I go out and play with him for about an hour each day, and he is just as silly as can be. The problem is he won't go in his dog house when it is raining. How can I get him to understand that it is warm and dry in there? I have tossed bits of food and stuff in the house he will go in and get the food but stiil won't go in when it rains.

I rescued him when he was eight weeks old. This picture is of Beep wearing his new custom Halti. He is two years old now and a very good dog agility dog. He is very fast and can have a houndish sounding bark sometimes. He also has a little brindling on his front and a hind leg.

She is getting worse, it only happens when I leave and even then not regularly. She is other wise and angel, I sprated the stuff that has chili in it but it makes me cough and her retch.
I know you are not supposed to punish them if you don't tem actually doing it but like I said it is only when I am gone- I have even tried setting her up so as to catch her in the act but it is so random but when it happens it is BAD!

I have no real opinion on this but it seems to be a very heated topic. It's almost as bad as the pit bull topic.

I heard on the news and read several articles that talked about how Hillary Clinton abused and abandoned "Socks", the White House cat. Have any of you heard about this? Is this true?

Unless there's another way to get rid of them, because I've tried shampoo's and it doesn't seem to work. I'm worried.

I know that they're not poisonous. But does it hurt? Will your finger bleed if the snake gives you a powerful bite? I want to get a corn snake but my mom won't let me bcause she thinks they'll bite me to death. o_o

Can they eat frozen pinkies? The baby corn snakes?

He is about 11 years old and I've grown up with him.
I dont want to put him down, but I don't want him to be in pain.
Is there any medication for dogs that I can give him?

We just brought home another stray and we are not sure what breeds he might have in him. Here are some pics of him and to describe he is medium haired length, would even say short at the moment, he is pretty stocky, black with tan markings and even a little white on his back paws. His brothers and sisters were mostly black with a little white on a few, he was the only one that had tan. He is approximatly 8 weeks old currently about 7lbs, he is extremely dosile but very alert.

I have OCD(about cleaning only) and my kids are dying for a pet kitty and (even I love cats) but my problem is I'm so scared it's going to poop on the floor or drink from the toilet which would problably make me throw up and clean up the whole entire house. It would also bother me alot if I saw the cat walking on the counter or the table. My neighbor told me her cat always steps on the poop in her litter box and I thought that was really gross. Otherwise I love cats and I don't mind taking care of them, even if it means I have to clean it's litter box. I'ld probably consider investing into an automatic self cleaning one. I think those are the major problems I would be worried about getting a cat and I would prefer to get a cat than a dog or any other pet. Any suggestions please.

well basically my sister bought kitten flea medicine on ebay but when we got it, it was dog flea medicine with instructions on how much to use on her. We looked it up on yahoo answers and the internet and we're running low on money so we just used it. My cat started to scratch more and shed within the hour so we washed it off. (i think) I went to the vet and they said that it could be eating her flesh (it's been on her for more than a week and she's fine) but they said i should just get a $50 check up. Most of my friends are telling me to just get her kitten flea medicine and put it on her. Please keep in mind, that I'm not the richest person in the world and i'm going through money problems right now so $50 isn't that easy for me to get.

My kitten got out this morning and has disappeared. I've been looking and calling all day. It's dark now. He's never been out before and he's fixed. Is there a chance he'll come home? I have some grown outdoor cats who are all home now. Can my kitten smell them maybe and find his way home?

I have other fish and they're pretty healthy, my tank is 30g.

I've read everywhere that they're supposed to be very active fish, but all they do is sit in the corner together (I have four) and stare at my kitchen. They will swim to the top to eat if I get their attention by putting my hand close to the side of the tank, but that's the only time they ever leave the corner. Am I doing something wrong?

The water stays between 78 and 80 degrees, I feed them tropical flakes twice a day, and the only chemicals I've added are "Stress Coat" and "Cycle".

Ok, as for details, When ever I pet, rub, or sratch Her lower back, near the tail, she get's very jittery. She look around quickly, and act as if she's trying to bite her tounge. If I keep petting her, she turn and bite my hand, or her own leg, but they aren't hard bites as if she was trying to make me stop. The bites are softer and playful. She did have fleas, and may still have them, But I have been using a chemical in her blood to kil them when they bite. She has been doing this before I used the chemical. Could it be the fleas making the spot so sensitive? Is it hurting her? Please help
