Pets - 10 November 2007

For all of you animal-know-it-all's out there, or if there happens to be a vet/vet tech on line... i really need this answered...
about two days ago i woke up ... walked down my stairs, and came down in my living room only to find blood on my floor and a cat trembling on its side with blood or what definitely looked like blood, coming from its mouth. The cat died. Later on i found that my other cat, also looked very injured. it's back was wet and a lot of its fur was gone, (it had been losing fur previously), and it isn't walking normal. it's (he's) using it's (his) legs yet his but is hanging low and nearly dragging on the ground... ... does anyone out there know if my cat is dying or if i can do anything to help him... anyone know what's wrong with him?

but my concern is that they are moving from the country to the city..How can we help them adjust, and more importantly, keep them from getting lost and/or running away? My boyfriends son will be devastated if they turn up missing...

This puppy was 1 out of a litter of 8 puppies born 3 weeks ago. The puppy was fine 12 hours ago but this morning can not move his body and has a muscus of some kind coming from his mouth and throat. He is crying so I know he must be in some kind of pain.

I am just curious? There are SO many questions on here about breeding - or my puppy is having a litter "WHAT DO I DO?" Etc.
I wonder, how many of these (so called) breeders actually think this out AHEAD of time?
What are the reasons they are having puppies? Is it because they are so cute, they want to let their children experience the miracle of birth, they think their female should be a mother and that she would love to have puppies, they want to better the breed, or - are they just doing it for the big bucks???
For you who are considering having puppies, you need to think long and hard about it. If you are doing it right, and have the Dam's best interest in mind (as well as the puppies) then you must realize that you aren't going to make the BIG BUCKS! You will, at the very best - break even, and that's not even likely. Can everyone share their stories of what's involved; the care, expense, time, placement, etc. of having puppies. It may make "some" people think twice.

Dear cat lovers,
I have two cats. Both female. an 8 year old, and the most recent addition, a 1 year old. The one year old, being rescued from a horsefarm, grew up for about 4 monthst LOVING the outdoors. so a year ago, we rescued her and brought her to my home. She STILL loves the outdoors. Every day, we regularly let her outside into my fenced backyard for around 3 or 4 hours. She used to be very very content just running around my nicely sized back yard; until yesterday, when she figured out how to climb my fences. My fences are 6 feet tall- and my cat is declawed in the front. Yet she uses the fence posts to shimmy up to the top. This is a BIG BIG problem considering there are busy cars where I live, little children, and open streets, ponds, and such. I live in a neighborhood- I can not have my cat running around. I am scared to death that she is going to get picked up and taken home, or hit by a car. PLEASE HELP ME. what can I do to keep her from going over the fence?

We adopted a stray cat and kitten that wandered into our yard. After the kitten was weaned we had the mother spayed. We didn't have any problems.

A few months later we had the kitten spayed. Now the mother cat hisses at the kitten and won't have anything to do with it. Why do you think this is happening? What should we do?

Is there anyway to help calm him down? He is constantly biting me, and company. I can't let him sleep in my room because he jumps the window and knocks my curtains down. But if I dont let him in my room he will sit outside of it, meow, then start scratching at the door. Yes it is so annoying. I've had a cat before and have never had this much trouble. Right now he's proving me wrong by laying on my desk watching me type this. I bet he can read and is plotting new ways of attacking me tonight. LOL. Any advice would be appreciated. Please Note; water bottles suck! My cat adores water.

Recently, a judge in Princeton, NJ, ordered that a 2 1/2 year old male German Shepherd named Congo be put to death because he attacked a landscaper. Before you pass judgment, here is the story:

The landscaper was supposed to arrive at the owner's house after 8:00am and showed up there at 7:00am. The owner's wife told the landscaper to stay in the car until her husband was done showering and could put the dogs in the house. The landscaper refused to listen to the woman and when the 3 Shepherd puppies began barking, he hit them on the head with a metal rake, leaving cuts and scratches on their
little heads and snouts. The puppies' mother was also hit on the head with the rake. The owner's young son was outside when all this was happening. When the wife told the landscaper to stop hitting the dogs, he grabbed her from behind and pushed her to the ground prompting the male Shepherd to run out of the house. Congo, the male
Shepherd, sat between the young boy and the wife until he
