Pets - 17 November 2007

There are over 900 puppies at the North Shore Animal Shelter, in New York. they are all up for adoption, they were taken from a puppy mill in a raid. Very cute and loveable, but they have had little human contact.

the vet gave her a strong dose of antibiotics two nights ago, but she is throwing up and has diarea. is it something worse, or does the medicine need more time to work? i spent all my money on the first vet visit, and i cant find a vet that will look at her without cash upfront

I live in a place where there are no fleas or ticks and there has been no reported case of rabies for 130 years. My dog of course still got a rabies shot but i thought everywhere had fleas and ticks..what are some reasons we wouldn't?

I've lived here for 14 years and every vet i have talked to says you don't have to worry about those things here because we don't have them. and i've never heared about a pet getting fleas here.

I haven't taken them to the off leash dog park for this reason too.

Once I am at the gate and they are too my male will howland bark and my female growls. so I end up taking them back home and bringing the little dog cause she won't bark or growl at the other dogs. She will just go in and rund and play to her hearts content.

My male has played with other dogs and didn't howl or bark at them but they were his family and had seem them before.

I want to be able to let them rplay off leash at the dog park but I don't want them to cause a dog fight either.

I have been working with both of them to listen better to me. Just yesterday I let my female walk around my yard with me not holding her leash and she was fine and didn't run off. I even let her walk to the door with out me holding the leash and took the leash off and she stayed right there until i opened the door.
My male isn't ready for that yet but one day he will be.

Is this true? Why?

Humane Society, In Defense of Animals, SPCA, WSPA, PETA? Which one is most effective in improving welfare of animals generally? Everyone has told me that I should donate to "my local shelter" instead. The problem is that my local shelter only has the capability of working to help cats,dogs, gerbils, rodents, etc. I need to know which large organization will best use my $$ for the general protection of all animals. Please provide reasoning/support for your answer. Thank you!

What diseases do cats get? Are we contagious to THEM? Are they contagious to us? What conditions or diseases kill cats? Are kittens a different story? PLEASE HELP with any info you know about cats and illnesses.

Why do you feel compelled to answer when you have absolutely nothing to say?

I know. You're child prodigies, which is why you already have a veterinary degree even though you're still in junior high school. Although I'm sure you learned A LOT in vet school, wait until you have something important to say. Just because you add that you're a vet doesn't magically make your comment important, or even helpful. (Funny how that works...)

If you have nothing to say, we'd really all benefit if you did that: Said nothing.

It's really pretty obvious the difference between 13-year-old vets and vets with degrees. I know, for 13 year olds it can be hard to tell the difference. But for those of us who have achieved a high school diploma, it's pretty easy.

So, back to my obligatory question: Why do you feel compelled to answer when you have absolutely nothing to say?

Can dogs remember things? If so, for how long? Do they remember things when they were young?

My pup got spayed on Oct. 31st. Just this past Wednesday night (exactly two weeks post op), I noticed her incision was red and swollen on one end. It looked like there was a hard lump under it and I could tell it was bugging her. I brought her to the vet on Thursday morning and they put her on antibiotics and benadryl. Her incision looked absolutely perfect before this, you could barely even see where it was. When I asked what could have caused it, he said he wasn't sure and said "sometimes it just happens". Has this happened to anyone else?? I'm hoping when she heals this time, it's for good!

My mom said I can't get her fixed until we get a new dryer and my sister just had a $300 Sweet Sixteen, so that really doesn't help. There doesn't seem to be any male cats that my neighbors have that aren't spade. So, can Boots even GET pregnant at her age or should I worry. We can't bring her inside, because my dad and brother and sister are all really allergic. Any advice or do I just wait and see?

I'd like to catch these persons and do the same to them. Our law enforcement and animal shelters need help in finding this perpatrator. If anyone hears of something or knows something, Please get in touch with the Lacawanna Co., PA police barrocks. We need to put a stop to this asap. The mother and pups was the first ones I heard of now there are more and more of them. Cats also. How could anyone be so cruel?

My dog has a large lump on it which has began to bleed and leek fluid.
He often licks it and seems to be very stiff.
My dong has stopped getting up to see me when I come home.
He has a dry dandruff coat and with also acne on his muzzle.
He also has issues with strange behavior.
he is being badly behaved which is not like him at all.
Can this be cancer?

We have noticed this round boney lump on the top of our 4 month old Golden Retriever's head. It seems to be getting larger as the puppy grows. We went away last week and my friend watched him, when we came back it seems more noticable now than before, more like a "cone head" appearance.
We have 2 other Golden's and we have had them since they were pups and we never noticed a lump on their heads.
I'm wondering if we should make another trip to the vet. The pup has been there 2 times now for shots and the vet never said anything looked wrong with his head but we didn't ask either because we hadn't noticed it at that point?
Anyone ever had a pup with a "cone head" before?
Is there something wrong or will his head somehow grow into this?

well i just got back from vet and they said she has a fever.
but is it really true thats the reason she lost appetite cause of a fever? I have thought it was my sewing needle or it was a digestive problem. I guess she's clear of that but she has fever :( do you think if she gets better will she eat again? i hope she doesn't need to see vet again cause it cost me 77 bucks for this.
