Pets - 6 November 2007

Alright, my roommate has lost his snake. It is red corn snake, about 3 months old, 14 inches long and we all love him. He got out of the terrarium because someone forgot to close the top.
Plan of our apartment is almost like this one :

Except for 2 bathrooms are on the left&right sides. Snake lived in my roommates room which was on the far right side.

Where could we possibly find him? It's been 4 days since we've lost him

I am looking after a friends saltwater fish tank and have a rainbow coloured blenny which when it is sick it goes dark brown with white patches on it. When I turn the lights on into the morning it is always brown and white and take about an hour to come right. Does anyone know what is the cause of this?

I have a 2 mo. Old Chauaua, and one day I discovered he has a creator or dent in the top of his skull. Its the diameter of my pinky. When i touch it its a definate soft spot, it doesn't bother him when I touch it. He has a health appitite, listens well, good balance. I'm going to take him to the vet this weekend until then any advise? Is this something that will cause problems in the future?

I just moved into a property that shares a spacious yard with 2 other tenants, one who happens to be a little old lady. I own two terrier mixes (Lhasa Apso and cairn terrier is the best i can guess). Anyway, both dogs exhibited anxiety when we first moved, but seem to be a little better, and they have always been a little aggressive towards strangers(at least in my opinion). So I bet you can guess the problem... How do i train them to stop barking at the little old lady every time they see her? This last time I swear they were going to take her down, and one even nipped at the back of her heels. Is there a method to make them less aggressive, or to acclimate them to the neighbors?

My kittens (4 mos) have both gotten fleas somehow. We have ordered advantage but it won't be here for a week. We've tried flea killing carpet powder but i don't think it's working. We're putting baking soda down on the carpet now...will that do anything , obviously we will be vacuuming it up. Is there anything we can use for carpet/furniture that is not a flea bomb..we live in apartment up at school so we can't really take them out for a day or whatever. Please help! Thank you!!

I'm pretty sure it's just arthritis, but my dog is really sore and he can barely move. If he tries to stand up he starts whimpering. It's so sad I want to help him, but I don't think there's much I can do. Can I give him ibuprofen or something?

if you need to know he's a 10 year old, soft coated wheaten terrier.

It is male so he definitely not pregnant... he does kind of eat the most at feeding time. How can I get him to stop eating so much and how can he lose weight??

Background info. Six mths ago my Berner got a hold of a popsicle stick left in the yard by my 4 yr old grandson. A Berner being what it is, tried to eat it. but, a piece of the stick was stuck in between her gum and back molar (jagged side down) I had the vet remove it, it was to tight for me to get a hold of it.
The past 2 weeks she has had REALLY bad breath, drooling, yucky looking stuff around the tooth. I took her to the vet today, of course, she is NOT going to be still while she looks at her tooth. I am taking her in tomorrow, will be sedated, teeth cleaned and they will check this tooth. The vet gave her Amoxicillin to take (2 pills every 12 hrs) NO FOOD after midnight, water only.
My question is...Should I give her the meds in the morning? I have to put them in some food to get her to take a pill. Putting the pill in her mouth, closing her mouth and stroking her neck doesn't WORK!! The Vet can't even get her to take a pill this way!! Should I give her the meds in the AM?

whenever we scratch her she licks herself, and the hair on her back is thin. when your scratching her you can feel your nails go over a small probably 3 cm bump. when i move the hair out of the way theres a red scab. sometimes more then one in the same area. she also seems like she has dandruff , that may just be from us scratching the dead skin off of her. a few times i HAVE seen one or two small RED bugs. i wasnt sure if fleas were red. but we got her a flea coller anyways. but i still noticed them. she never itchs herself though, they just apear. shes about 12 years old.
what is it exactly?
what can i do about it? (my mom wont take her to the vets until may when our next appointment is scheduled)

I am currently living in Korea and my two dogs are used to the time here. In a few months I am planning on returning to the US and I was wondering how to get them adjusted to the time difference? I need some input as to how to make it easier for them to make the change. Thanks.

If I were to let him roam the house, I would need to vacuum twice a day to get rid of the hair all over the floor, he has a good thick coat. Any ideas how to stop this? He has always been like this, he is nearly eight years old.

Hi, I was just wondering how u would get fleas out of the home completely? they are on my 2 cats on my couches, carpet, etc. which products can u buy in stores that would be best for me to use to get rid of this problem. Thanks

I'm not sure what to decide. The price for the baby hedgies is fantastic, but I'm a bit wary of the fact that they also breed nine other species of animals. They also don't have a lot of information on their site about their animals care or socialization, so I'm not sure. Should I message them and ask, or delete this from my list?

I've been comparing every breeder I come across to another that I like a lot, should I continue doing so? Links to both breeders are below. =)

(Before anyone suggests this, I am unable to purchase a hedgie from the second website. They don't ship, and I'm not able to drive to the farm to pick up the hoglet.)

The one I'm not sure about-

The one I'm comparing everything else to-

If anyone has any other good breeders that are willing to ship they could suggest, I'd be very grateful. Thanks! =)

We have this cat that just showed up at our house a few weeks ago. She is extremely friendly and my husband has been feeding her. I went outside today, and she was there. Her eye has been injured. I petted her for a few seconds. She is showing no signs of rabies but my father is paranoid about it. What are the chances that I could have contracted it? I understand it is spread through saliva? What about when she cleans her fur?
