Pets - 6 December 2007

She is just sitting there all low to the ground with one or both eyes shut. she was eating then all of a sudden just stopped. Shes still about skidish and will let me pet her but still runs from time to time however right now i can pick her up etc and she doesnt budge.

if it is impaction will she eventually get it out?

Shes on wood chips the reptile specialty store i bought her from has all their babies aswell as older ones on it. and shes been on it for a month in my house. i just put her in a warm tub of water and she had a gay ol time but didnt go to the bathroom but neither did my other one.

Is there a high chance that my dog, after she is "knocked up" (as my dad says), she will get mean and vicous? My dad heard a story of a dog getting mated with and then getting mean and started biting people so now he belives it! I just want to prove him wrong, but I need true information, lol. Thank you!

Hi-
My dog doesn't have fleas, but it itchy and scratching herself raw. I wiped one spot off earlier because it was oozing. Nasty. She is licking and has patches of skin where the fur is gone. She was treated for hot spots this summer, but this has all happened in the past two or three days. Any ideas what it is? She is six and has never been like this before. I doubt it is allergies. We just moved... she used to have two dogs and a cat with her, now she is solo. Can this much scratching and licking be because she is bored or anxious about something? I've been giving her plenty of attention. She shouldn't be like this. I'm taking her to the vet, but I wanted to know what it might be first.

I just found out that my dog might need a cesarian to deliver her puppys but I don't have the money to get one for her and she i think is already in labor so what else can I do to help her instead so she doesn't die? I don't care if the puppys live I just don't want to lose my dog so if I have to do something that will kill the puppys thats what I have to do but please help me save my dog.

In the tank:
1 pleco
2 dwarf gouramis
1 angelfish
1 freshwater puffer (now infected)
1 peacock eel
2 mollies (1 is now infected)

I have lost 3 fish in the past to a white fungus that looks like cotton balls, and now more of my fish are infected. Last time this happened I bought fugus treatment for the tank that my friend at the pet store reccommended. It didnt seem to work last time, and when the fish died, I sterilized the tank then set it up again. Last night I lost one of my peacock eels (overnight he had got the fungus) and now 2 other fish are infected. I have treated the tank (again).

What should I do? any ideas?
anyone have the same problem???

My beautiful Dixie died 9 months ago. I miss her so bad I cry sometimes. Today I am missing her and went to the shelter I adopted her from and donated cat toys, food, and money. While I was there I played with the cutest kitties and wished I could take them all home. It was so sad the way they all tried for my attention like they knew I could spring them and give them a home. I have 5 gorgeous cats still so I can't get another. Now I want to hold Dixie so bad my arms hurt. I love all my cats but with her it was like I had given birth to her myself. Does it ever get better? Will you hug your kitty while you can? I sure wish I could.

I thought I switched entirely to plastic ornaments this year, I was wrong. My lab knocked one off the tree with his happy tail, went to pick up the bulb, crushed it in his mouth....and there were shards of glass everywhere (including his poor bloody mouth.) Luckily, I didn't hesitate to get in touch with my vet....problem solved, he is okay now.

Those of us with dogs, no matter how well behaved they are, (and particularly those of us with puppies,) need to be watchful for things that can hurt them all the time...but especially this time of year when new things for the dog to investigate are out.

What have you done to make sure your dog(s) won't have any problems during this time of year?

What advice can you add that may help others reevaluate the safety of the dog's home?

Im not sure how much mine would chew on it, but he loves digging and tearing at newspapers and stuff, and he is moving into my bunny-proofed bedroom, (free range of the room when i am home) so im trying to get rid of the aspen shavings in the cage.

My floor is carpeted and im not really sure what sort of things would be safest for him when it comes to bedding and litter.

Red but not bloody, she had round worms a month ago but shes taken all her meds for it. She is spayed, shes also been coughing latley. Her stomach is also making a sound that kinda sounds like a growling, like when a person is hungry. I just changed her food cause her other food was giving her gas.

He's new, only been with us for 5 days now and I've tried twice to feed him. Nice tupperware tub, dark and warm with a killed baby mouse and he just won't eat.
Left him alone for 1 hour the first time and 90 mins the second. Zip.
I know they're fussy eaters but this is ridiculous. My old Red tailed Boa wasn't fussy at all.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, how many crickets should my 3month old baby beardie be eating, Ive heard everything from 5-15 a day. But my little man will only eat 1 dandylion leaf in the morning, n just 1 or 2 crickets, some days he wont eat any. But apart from this he seems healthy and happy enough, except tonight he seems to have gone a bit darker, could this be related?

My cat hella started balding, and now there is a huge bald patch on his lower back ...

& whats worse..... Every time I pet him there, his starts licking the air, matter of fact, he licks ANYTHING around until you stop petting him.

Sometimes I pet "too hard" and he turns and bites me. His hair feels really thin, almost like there is a layer of dander preventing hair growth. Ewww....

WTF is wrong with him? Is there any shampoo or medicine I can get for him? I fear its unhealthy, and its really unattractive.

We gave her to a family friend and she ran away..
she was lost in the desert for three weeks during a huge rainstorm.

A lady finally found her and called us.
But she is very sick.
She is vomiting, no more diahreeha.
She was ravenous for water but would throw it up immediately. She keeps it down if I give her small amounts at a time. which is what I've been giving her for the last 24 hours.

She is lethargic and won't even look at any food.
I'm sure she was an indiscriminant eater all those weeks...

I've started her on amoxicillin in case of bacterial infection.

If she did eat something bad- how long should it take for her to recover?

We don't have alot of money and can't afford a vet bill..
She's current on all her shots.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks....in advance.
