Pets - 4 November 2007

I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. The cats are not too bad with fleas, but the dogs are lousey. I give them a bath with flea shampoo and within hours to 1 day they have as many on them as they did before i gave them a bath. Any suggestions?

My yr old doxie broke her leg about 2 weeks ago. This is her second splint. I am taking her to the anyway tomorrow to get her splint taken off andher leg xrayed. The last time she got her splint replaced, the vet warned us that it was getting too wet and so he closed it off at the bottom, covering it as part of the splint. (From shoulder to bottom. We would cover it with a plastic garbage bag too)

We came home on Friday to find she had chewed off the bottom of her cast so the pad of her foot was exposed. We tried to cover it as best we could, and she has an e-collar on, but if shes unattended for any amt of time, she licks at it. It had a strange odor this morning and I checked it, it is red, swollen. Looks puffy and sore. And she keeps licking. Ive covered it with a sock to distract her. The pads look puffy like a teddy bear paw. And it smells damp.

Can I wait until tomorrow (monday) morning first thing to get her to a vet or should I rush her to emergency now? Or what can I do now?

I have caged them but they seem so unhappy. I want them to be able to roam the house(they have their own room) without the trouble of finding a mess everywhere. Any suggestions? They won't use a litter box..grrrr... lol

I live in Columbus, OH and I have an 11 month old kitten. He just broke his leg in two different places last night, and my mother cannot afford to get the surgery done for him. We are looking to get it amputated, since there seems to be no other option but she is not willing to pay a lot of money for that either. I was wondering if there was some way that we could find a clinc that would do the amputation for a low price or do it for free. My mom says that there has to be a place where other pet owners that cannot afford vet treatment go, (in Columbus) but I have no idea where that would be.

Sorry, I know this isn't a question. It's just that when reading questions I have noticed that many people don't know what GSD means and I thought I would clear it up for them. :)

I'm getting a minor ant invasion in my house so each time I get rid of the ants I feed the ants to my goldfish. Pretty much because I always accidentally put too much fish food in and the water clouds up. I also heard that if fish eats bugs it'll help them grow so will feeding them ants help them grow? Will feeding ants to the fish do any harm to them?
I've grown some tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans and the roots are coming out of the bottom so I'm going to let the roots soak up the nutrient rich water. Will the roots being in the water hurt the fish in anyway shape for form?

i'm just curious if it can because i know hissing secretes some type of anti-social behavior but i'm unsure if it may spread disease, If so, what is the likelyhood of another cat being infected?

This is my first dog, she is a Rat Terrier, she's now a year old and super cute :)) and I dont want to add to all the homeless dogs and the dogs that have to be killed (put to sleep) just because they are unwanted or couldn't find a home in time. and yet...my dog is so perfect right now, energetic and playful and super obedient, plus really healthy. I've heard so many times that fixing a dog ruins them, and changes them and stuff. I really dont want to ruin my dog, so maybe if i kept her away from male dogs at all times? or is there an alternative to fixing your dog without ruining them?

Thanks, and sorry if i should know the answer, but again this is my very first pet :D

Such as Vitamin A, Calcium, those things. I'm going to be either feeding my doggie homemade meals, or designing my own dog food (sounds far-fetched but hey i can try). And can you list how much percent of each mineral or vitamin the dog needs from each one?
Thanks a bunch :D

My dog has great obedience--he can sit, stay, lay down, roll over, shake, high 5, play dead, fetch, come--the basics. We are working on putting a treat on his nose and then having him catch it. The only problem with it is that he is not fast enough to catch it. Can someone tell me a really easy trick to teach my dog that he could learn by Thanksgiving?
