The kitten is about 8 weeks old, and saw the vet two weeks ago to be dewormed and all. He had diarrhea before then, but now his crap mostly normal consistency (turds, but also some liquid) of a yellow-brown shade. And in one day he seems to go no fewer than 10 times - huge amounts. He eats non-stop and gets quite a round belly (and weight!) after eating. He is quite active but sometimes meows a while for no apparent reason (pain?). Is anything wrong with him? Should he be so round? Should I give him more worm medication?

she had her first litter in may we still have two of the kittens they do not feed on momma anymore. But my question is why is she ( momma ) so mean at times, just about a month ago, her son was laying under the fish tank minding his own business and here comes momma walking by and she slapped him up and then kept on walking.

The kittens were born in may. I don't understand why she is doing this even at times when we rub her belly she attacks our hands and scratches us like crazy. She isn't pregnant but I just do not understand her behavior can someone pls help?

Our cat freaks out on a 20 minute car trip! Now he is going to have to deal with 12 hours+ in a plane. I have been taking him on car rides to get him used to being in his carrier. Has anyone flown internationally with cats before and can share their experiences? Thanks!

I have already spoken to him about it about a month ago and he won't listen to me. I just went over there and there was a big pile of cat food sitting on his driveway! I spoke to his roommate and he says he tells him to stop too. My cat hasn't come home to eat in over four days. Luckily his roommate just stopped by and brought my cat back to me a minute ago. What should I do?

So yesterday,
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071106115029AAjZusl&r=w

I asked what would it take to keep you here.
I was surprised because I honestly thought there would be more people into this. I'll wrap up this thread with one final question.

What frustrates you the most? I'm not even going to ask any follow up questions to spark the conversation. I'll just leave it at that.

What frustrates you most about the Dogs Section?

Then we will return to our regularly scheduled DDQs.

Thanks.

There is a lady that feeds them 2 times a day. She will not stop. We have asked. They come over and use our yard as a litter box.
Any help or suggestions will be considered!!!!!

I know some people could have a field day with this question. But please answer seriously.
My dog is in her first heat cycle. I called the vet and they will not spay her until she is done bleeding. However, I don't want to take her in to get "fixed" if it is possible that she is pregnant. Her nipples are raised. I'm not sure if they are swolled because she is in heat, or if she could be pregnant.

I've feed her dry dog food and she'll only eat it for a day or two. She's starting to lose weight because I'm trying to refrain from feeding her table food. I've tried wet dog food and that only worked for a day or two.

I am moving the end of the year to CA so its about a 2000 mile drive and I have 5 goldfish that have been with me forever and I want to bring them with so bad. People have told me the stress and the heat/cold will be to much for them.
Is there anyway to move them safely without putting to much stress on them and so they wont die on me??

I hadn't intended on such a long absence...it's been non-stop dog shows since the middle of October! I'm proud to say we had some nice wins along the way, including a 5pt major this past weekend on an ACD puppy in Ft Wayne, IN!!!
But my biggest news is we have a NEW ADDITION!!!! I am proud to introduce "Tori" (short for tornado!), formally known as Stoneridge Against Th' Wind v X-Mark....My good friend with the ACDs agreed to pick her up for me while I was away last week showing dogs. She didn't waste any time putting her to "work" as you can see from the photos! Tori is full of personality and has beautiful angles, movement and topline.
So, thanks, A Gal and Her Dog for asking about me! Makes me feel all loved and stuff! LOL
What do you guys think? Is Tori a cutie or what???
"Whee! I think I can fly!"

When i give my cat a bath with flea shampoo, the few that can't make it to her head in time die. however, the other ones run to her head and stay until the bath is over. How do i kill these remaining fleas?!

My fiance and I are considering getting an African Gray parrot. He grew up with one, but it recently died of a heart attack/stroke as it was very overweight. Does anyone have any suggestions of good books to read? Or just suggestions in general? We do know of a very reputable breeder. But I just have experience with parakeets, and I didn't train them.

My girlfriend had one that would occasionally freak out and bite the **** out of the nearest person. The animal control said he was a menace to society(really, they said that) and he had to be put down. He was treated like a king while in her possesion, so she can't understand why her otherwise sweet boy freaked out and hospitalized her with bites sometimes. I say he didn't learn the pecking order and should have been dominated more so he learned his place in the pack. What do you gous think? Maybe my idea would have just gotten me eaten up:?

My border collie/lab mix has brown stuff in his ears that I have to clean out every day. He's been to the vet before and we've asked about it, but our vet says its not an infection or anything. Is it just ear wax? And why do I have to clean them every day?
