Pets - 31 October 2007

I know this is not a question, I hope I won't get flamed for this but I just want some clues, advice or whatever facts about canidae dog food all stages. So yesturday I fed my dog Iams (I know not to feed it 100% at a time stay on topic please) and realized it was sh!t so for the benifit and better health of my dog I was reccomended canidae, artemis, eagle, timberwolf and EVO innova. I got canidae because it was the most well worth it, I know its not as good as timberwolf or EVO because it does contains grains, but then again its one of those A+ products along with timberwolf & evo, so I got it because of the feeding guide line wize, and comparing the price of lbs so I got canidae. If someone could please give me facts on this it would be helpful, the pet store owner also said not to get the 30 lbs one or something, the bigger one, because my pomeranian wouldn't be able to finish it in time, then the food will not be as fresh if I bought 6lbs which I have correct?

Just a quick question, If a female dog weighs aprox. 5lbs and is breed to a 3 1/2lbs male, How big would you say the puppies will be?

I know this might seem like a stupid question but my dog just threw up, is very hot on the forehead, and wont lay down. What's wrong with her?

She is a golden retriever and her hips are pretty bad. About a month ago she went blind in her one eye and about 4 days ago she all of a sudden started limping. We think she may have had a stroke. She also seems to be deaf but we arent very sure. We are taking her to the vet soon, but meanwhile does anyone know what may be wrong with her?

My dog, a 7 yr old German Shepherd male, has bone cancer in his back right leg. We went to the vet; they said nothing could be done and that he should be put to sleep. He has one week left.

I really want to make this last week of his the best one he's ever had, but I don't know how to do that with his current conditions. He's limping, dragging along his bad leg. It hurts him also and it's not good for him to run too much, or walk.

I've been giving him an extra amount of treats, lots of belly rubs, and spending a lot of time with him. Is there anything else I could do that he would like? Besides any activities that would be using his leg.

Thank you so much! You're helping my dog have the best week of his life!

My mother has a Siamese cat named Gussie. He can be kind of high-maintenance at times and make you want to curse (or cuss), so we sometimes jokingly call him Cussie.

I have 3 black skirts in my 30 gallon tank and they are getting huge, I mean they have really grown since I got them 6 months ago. I am going to get another aquarium next month and would like to get a 50 or more. ( it is an addictive, fun hobby)
In the new tank I would like2 of each gourami's, mollies, rainbow fish and cherry barbs. If these tetras keep growing would it be ok to move them into the bigger tank with the above fish I mentioned or would those fish be to aggressive. I have noticed that the bigger the black skirts get, they seem to be a little bolder and do chase the smaller fish.

I believe my kitten is mentally regressing or is mentally challenged. When we got her she was four weeks old and covered in fleas. We cleaned her up and started to litter train her. It took forever for her to get the concept of the litter box, but I've never had trouble with cats before. She finally got it, but suddenly the kitten has forgotten how to use the box and seems to have forgotten her name. She is almost four months old now. She does not respond at all when called and will not look us in the eyes. Three days ago she started meowing for no reason and when I found her she was staring at the corner meowing at nothing. She continues to do this whenever there is no one in the room with her.

Last Friday I did my monthly cleaning to the inside of the glass with the scrubber. The water appeared cloudy prior to doing it. The next day it had not cleared up so I put in a new filter pad. Still cloudy. Took a sample to the fish store today, said the p.h. was off the chart and my fish were literally burning up , so she gave me the ph up to neutralize the water. She said to start slow, maybe half the recommended dose today and the rest tomorrow and re-test the water. I have added half of the recommended teaspoon. Then she said to add some of the amquel tomorrow also. Would it be ok to add clear up drops or should I wait to see what happens with the ph. The fish, which are black skirts, red eyes , rasboras seem to be fine, eathing , doing the little bit of chasing they normally do. I will feel terrible if I lost them !

Our 11 year old cat has fleas for the first time - its our own fault we forgot to change her collar in time. I am using johnsons house spray to eliminate as many as possible from the rooms in our 3 bedroom semi & have used their products to kill the fleas on her & have now used their spot on to help prevent another breakout, but am concerned that any unhatched eggs will start another infestation. As spraying is taking me a long time, I was wondering if anyone has used a flea bomb & if they are as effective as spraying? Do they get to all the nooks & crannys that you can with a spray ie under beds, sofas etc? Also, are they a gas or powder - I don't want to come home to find everything covered in mess and even more work cleaning it up! I've read that its best to leave the house for about 5 hrs after setting one off, but on the bob martin one in my local petstore it suggests 2 hours before thoroughly airing the room - would I need a seperate one for every room in the house? Please help!

The other day I took my cat out to my parents house and he ended up eating about 1/2 of our dogs' mini milk bone (about 3-4inches long) when we weren't looking. Then a day or two later he got sick and puked everything up. Also, he didn't eat or drink (not that I saw) anything the next two days. Then yesterday he seemed to be normal again and was eating regularly--he was also very playful seeing as he is only a 3 month old kitten. However, he is still getting sick........ about 1 or 2 times a day. Is this still related to the milk bone incident or should I be worried that something worse is going on? (it's been 4 days since he at the bone)

I have a kitten, about 10 months old, who doesn't cover her poopie when she uses the litter box. It smells worse than anything I have ever encountered in my life. Is there something I could give her, a supplement or vitamin that could take away some of the smell. Or would changing her food help?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Note: she was rescued from a parking lot were someone dumped her and her sisters in a box. I brought her home and we had her fixed and vaccinated, but she is Feline Leukemia positive and HIV positive. She is in relatively good health now, she eats and plays and is very loving. So I don't think the diseases have started to harm her yet. I know she will die one day and I try not to think about it. At least she has a loving home and a roof over her head, and isn't struggling to survive in a parking lot.

We have a six year-old chocolate lab. My wife was in a recent car accident and neither of us is able to get the dog out for daily exercise. Is it better to keep the dog and have her getting sporadic exercise or would it be better to allow her to find a new home.

My two year old cat eyes are red around the lids and they've been runny and she keeps blinking repeatedly. I recently got a new kitten, they play alot and the older cat cleans her. Could it be anything to do with the kitten? Any advice would be great.

my kitty pebblez is my life, i love her to death, but she is a pain in the a** when it comes to a bath. its as if she is being tortured when she is even exposed to water. so then i bought here those stupid waterless shampoo sprays, and then i thought about her licking her fur and licking that stuff and how toxic it may be. so, i know cats give themselves showers, but i want her to be washed from time to time. any suggestions??
