Pets - 3 November 2007

Say you had a dog that was out of hand. You couldn't go and feed or love him without him attacking you, clawing you to death or tripping you up on his runner. You already cut your hand once due to him making you fall, bruised your hip due to him walking you on the leash and made you slam into the car. Thats right you can't control him on the leash. He takes off and drags you. Okay you have done all you could to correct him, but he still acts this way what would you do?

A. Take him to the Animal Shelter were you know he will be killed in 2 months due to down here the pets do NOT get adopted out that much. You know this due to you had taken three of your mom's dogs there last year and when you called to check up on them you were told that they were put to sleep two months later due to not enough space to keep holding them.

B. Or take him to a high class neighborhood and drop him off?

What would you do and why?

The dog is in a fenced in yard, He is very friendly. We took the cat to the vet and it died while we were there. We talked to the wife and apologised but the husband was outraged. The wife said that they had a discussion on letting the cat out that morning or not and the husband said it was ok. We have been living here for ten years and this is a first. They want to get my dogs taken away from me, Can they do that? even if it happend in my yard? Please help me!!!

My cat is really annoying! I let her outside because she is scratching at the door, but then shes at the other door a minute later wanting to come back in, and it goes on and on! She is a very affectionate cat, she loves to be in your face all the time, but does she think its a game?

Also, after she eats, she sometimes throws up? Is this serious? We took her to the vets, nothings wrong.
Could it be her food? She is very fussy she only likes 2 brands of cat food and 1 flavour; Whiskers and Frisky (Tuna, Fish flavour)

Thanks.

Okay my fiancee and I just purchased a 55gallon tank stand etc. for a saltwater aquarium. We want to have fish and invertebrates no live corals. We're not ready to tackle live corals yet. We would like to have sand as we want to have gobys, and other fish of that nature. Is it possible to have sand and to also use an undergravel/sand filter? What kind of sand do we need to have? Were getting a couple of pieces of "live rock" to help with getting the tank cycled, so do we really need "live sand"? We have a big duel biowheel filter and we'll have two power heads as well. Being experiencecd in fresh water I really like undergravel.

Thanks in advance for all the help and information! :)

I had my cat for 10 years.She is fixed, and front de-clawed. She has been living outside for increasing periods of time since last spring when we got a puppy. She just doesn't like to share her home I guess, the pup was never mean to her. She would come in to eat at 1st, then she stopped doing that & would just meow at the door so I would feed her outside. She quit doing that as often, so I just put food out for her and she'd come eat at some point during the day. But now it is to the point where I don't see her for days on end, I set food out & it sits there for 2 days..and either her or another animal eats it at night when I am asleep. It's cold outside now & I wonder where she is, why she's not coming around anymore. Is it just in cat's nature to want to live outdoors & be wild? Before we got the dog, she used to try to get outside a lot, but we always made sure she didn't get out. I have to be worried & wonder where is she, what has she been eating, how is she keeping warm?

I'm wanting to take my dog to obidence class, to train her to behave she's just a puppy so it would be good for her to learn now. Was it successful for you and your dog after your dog have been trained? Does your dog actually listen to the comands or atleast try to ? or occasionally? I live in canada i'm planning to take my dog to train at pet cetera if anyone has advice on that or facts please let me know

Am aware of the nightmares out there of "adoptees" and just WANT TO MAKE SURE THESE THREE KITTENS I HAVE GO TO WARM LOVING RESPONSIBLE HOMES. So placed an ad on craigslist today.
All the shelters aren't taking cats for THREE months, as we made 1/2 dozen phone calls.
Wish we had room for them but we already have 2 cats and live in a small apartment.
Anyway the cat outside adopted us due to her neglectful original home. Guess she knew the most loving house on the block :--)
Anyway, hoping that I get nice ppl on craigslist to adopt the other 3 kittens out to some awesome homes for them.

I just noticed that my dog chipped one of his teeth. He isn't acting strange or pawing his face and he still has his appetite. He is acting completely happy and normal. Should I take him to the vet?

The 2 fish have been living together for about a day now. We fed them twice and after the 2nd one (evening feeding) they have kept going as if they want to eat more food and open and close their mouths, sometime making a lil noise with bubbles forming. Any idea what this means? My room mate and I are clueless

Is $199 to much for a 75 gallon tank for my uromastx lizard? just the tank, no stand, and no hood just the tank. A bit overpriced, Ay?

We are now dealing with the sudden death of our 8 year old German Shepherd and have given a lot of thought about how much joy he gave us on a daily basis; we have lost a best friend and hiking partner.
If you have a dog, give him or her a big hug just because you can.

A few weeks ago I got a fish that had ich. I removed him from the tank and started treating him, but i think the ich spread to the main tank. I bought some ich treatment that said it was reef safe so I am going to add that, but should I stop adding the additives for corals while I am treating my tank?

I heard rats are pretty smart, so can I teach it some tricks, and will it be loyal like a Dog ?

One more thing, do rats from petstores carry diseases ?
