Pets - 9 November 2007

My cat is about 3 years old and a siamise. He is over weight but other than that he seems very healthy. He is still eating and being himself. But what looks like water continues to just drip from his closed mouth. I'm kind of freaking out. I hope someone knows what this could be.

I have the cutest and smartest toy poodle in tehe world. But his breathe smells like he's been eating bowls of "hot nasty". How can I get him to have fresh or neutral breathe.

My old cat hates me. We got a puppy last winter and took this kitten home in october, now she hates our guts. She hates the two new girls, and makes this weird low moaning nooise when they go near her, and she was doing that to me. She was at the door, mewing to go outside, so I ran over and I tried to scratch her favourite spot under her chin and she started to make that moan and she pinned her ears. How can I make her forgive me?
btw, she won't eat the treats I give her.

i read this over and over, "u shouldn't have a pet if u can't afford to take it to the vet."So y should low income ppl be allowed to have kids? i mean, it's ridiculous if some1 chooses to buy an mp3 player or cell phone instead of bringing their pet to the vet, but if some1 seriously can't afford it, @ least they're giving them a warm place to sleep, food, and affection which is a hell of alot more than if they would ge on the streets. every1 always says "bring it to a shelter," but honestly how many pets are adopted and how many r killed every year in a shelter?

Well, if any of you remember my last question, I said my dad told me that my dog had body bugs. My dad had no clue what he was saying as usual. He had no idea what the bugs actually were. All he heard was "bugs under the skin" and I don't think he cares about the type. He does love Pepper (dog), because he's doing his best to treat him with daily medication and expensive treatments, so I'm not too mad. That's just my father and I accept it, BUT I had to take some intiative. I tried calling the vet and asking him, what it was. My dad got upset, though, beause he thought it would cost more. I think he used his charismatic personality to get a reduction on the price from the secretary, and he didn't want the doctor to know what she did. I told him to ask the vet on my dog's follow up, but he forgot!!! They said his hair was very close to falling out, so I'm assuming it's mange mites ...What do you think? What can I do? How do I treat the area that he lays in while in the house?!?

Does showing dogs win good money? And if I kept one pup from every litter, should it be the best male, or the best female? And about how much does winning a dog show earn? Would winning help you sell puppies better?

How much does raising an average litter of puppies, as well as the mother test costs, sire costs, vaccinations and wormings, and average food and other stuff usually cost? For one litter. And how many litters a year can a female safely have? And about how much money would you get from selling all the pups except one that I'd keep?

Ok, I've heard that you should breed out of love, but not even love makes we want to lose all my money and live in a box on the street for a dog. Do you think I should get a job where I can work from home so I can be with the dogs and not go broke? Or is there a particular dog that earns good money?

Anyone feed their cats Nutro?
I just purchased a bag for my cats and I go online to see what other pet owners have to say. When I googled it, some article came up saying that the FDA banned the shipment of Nutro products to the US. What??????? If so why would I be able to purchase this?
Here's that article.

Is there any other pet foods out there that is being banned/recalled?

Apparently, they read it , and never had the good sense to question what they read. Just as they read the Bible and do not have the good sense to question what they read in it!

I recently adopted a Bichon Frise from an older relative who could no longer care for it....it is a sweet dog that my kids love, but it is peeing all over my house! My relative did not walk him, but let him pee on paper or wee-wee pads around the house. Now I know he needs an adjustment period...but I cant take cleaning up after him constantly! It has been almost four months....we walk him about 2-3 times a day, but he always waits until we get home and finds a corner or couch leg to do his business on. And lets not even discuss the poop...ughhhhhh!!! WHAT SHOULD I DO....I hate to get rid of him, but my kids are out of diapers...I thought I was done with this! Please help.....

Even though I own six cats (all strays I've gathered over the years) I know very little about them. I'm a dog person. They rarely if ever get sick. All are up to date on their shots, spay/neutered and indoor cats. Now my question. I lost a cat about five years ago to a liver tumor. His symptoms were, losing hair, not eating as much and drinking a lot of water. Now I have another cat showing the same signs but, five years later. He has an appointment at the vets tomorrow. I thought at first he was just blowing coat for the winter but, now he is showing bald spots only in the back of his body. He is drinking a lot of water and losing weight. I have been away for about a week and my husband and kids have been caring for the animals. When I saw him I got really upset. Are liver tumors common in cats?

My dog pulled a post down on the back porch two weeks ago. It apparently fell on his back. Within the day, he had a large lump on his back. We took him to the vet, who gave us anti-inflammatory. It seems to be as big as ever. Last night, he licked all the hair off of the center of this lump.

Is this some kind of a bruise? What do we do?

Really can't afford to have x-rays taken.

I got a puppy who was one of the older ones at the pet shop, he was 5 months when I got him... He wasn't really scared of me... But when I let my boyfriend try to hold him he got scared. The girl that was helping us said he was only used to females. Well, he is good with me, but he is really scared of my boyfriend. My boyfriend is a big guy, he's 6 foot 5, so he is kind of intimidating.

Whenever my boyfriend walks around the dog gets up and gets scared and like barks at him. And when he tries to pet him, the dog growls really bad. it never bites, just growls.

Please, Please!!! Help! My boyfriend is getting sick of it, and I really don't want to lose either one of them.

**To those of you who say I probably got a puppy mill dog, I DIDN'T. It just so happens that the breeder that gave the puppy to the nursery is my cousins husbands little brother and he does NOT run a puppy mill. SO there's no need for you to bash me for getting a puppy at a nursery.

i was going to adopt a kitten from an organization and it took 2 weeks just to get approved to adopt a kitten from them since they have lengthy paperwork system and now today I find out the kitten that I have been waiting for and getting ready to come home is going to be put down along with its siblings and mother because they found out it has feline infectionitis I was so in shock and I'm crying so hard. I know its wrong of me for them to want them to live since the lady said that they would be in a lot of pain if and when it manifested but I cant help not wanting them to die. She said if the mother has it the babies most likely have it to and that they land up dying horrible deaths and thats why they have to put them down. does anyone know what this disease is. I tried looking it up. any links that you can find about it.. i would appreciate. thank you
