Pets - 8 December 2007

I have a 6 month old sapsalgae (it's ok if you don't know the breed) They are medium sized only getting around 45-65 pounds. My dog is around 35.5 pounds now but is a little skinny. He's had problems with loose stool and being skinny so he's on Royal Canin Intestinal. That has helped his poo but he's still so skinny! He's getting taller but is skin and bones. I doubled the amount he was getting to 3 1/2 cups a day. But now the vet says I should triple that and feed him 12 cups day!!! That just seems like so much!! I guess I should add that I'm in Korea and the vet doesn't really know the size of cups. Does this seem possible. I just fed him a little over 3 cups and now he seems bloated and uncomfortable. You know, the feeling you have if you eat too much. Does he really have to go through this 3 times a day?

well i know that i cant be given a valuable lesson about horseback riding on the internet, but what i can lear is the parts that i need to know without being on the horse, this is what i would like to learn so i can study it and advance in my lessons, i know it will take hard work time and comittment but this stuff is just good to know so i can study it here is what i have to do
know all parts of saddle and bridle
explain crossties and their purpose
explain why you never tie a horse with reins (and what tieing a horse is)
know at least ten horse parts
and know the four natural aids, i beleive they are voice, hands,feet, and seat, but i dont think that is 100% correct
thank you.
and dont tell me i shouldnt ask questions like this, i'm not asking how to cheat through lessons i am just asking how to knoe ceratin things, like earlier i needed to know the parts of a hoof and i looked them up and studied them and now i knoe it front and back and my trainer was very impresses that i

I used to want to get a pitbull and beagle, but Iearned that pitbulls turn on you, (or attack you), not beagles but pit bulls, so now I want to get an english bulldog and a beagle. I know beagles dont turn on you, but the question im asking is, do english bulldog turn on you.

he wouldn't lie his head down, couldn't sleep, alsom like i said, he's sad, loss of appetite, fever, a little vomiting, and back legs tremble a bit...
he has all these thing since last week but he got better after a few days. but it just came back.

today he seems a little better but he is still a little sad and i gave him aspirin but he is still a little feverish. what could this be? my vet is closed for the weekend, should i take him to the emergency room? he has started drinking water normally (when he first got sick he didn't want it) and he did vomit a little today.

i'm worried. i would appreciate your help

I've got 2 rabbits (Charlie 8 months and Lola 6 months - both have been neutered/spayed) Both live in a large hutch in the shed and when we are at home we bring them in to run around the lounge as they are both litter trained.
We had Charlie first, Charlie is fantastic, he is really tame and affectionate and when its time to go back to the hutch he'll let us take him in.

then we got Lola. They get on great with eachother. However with us she is really timid. When we try to catch her (especially when we want to put her in her cage) she runs off and hides anywhere. It sometimes takes us over an hour to get her. When we do catch her we just have to suddenly grab her (by putting 2 hands on her back) and after a couple of seconds she stops kicking.
I dont want her to associate us with trying to catch her all the time. Plus i'm worried about hurting her by picking her up this way.
We've tried everything, any suggestions??

Hello all. My puppy is 3 months old. My husband and I just brought him home from the pet store last night. He was only in the store for a week. However, my puppy won't leave my side. I have to be touching him at all times. Is there a way I can get him to stay calm in his play pen while I try to clean? What can I do to make him comfy w/out touching me every moment because monday he will have to be alone for at least 2hrs. Puppy Sammy and I are sitting here waiting for any helpful suggestions you may have.

i have a 12 1/2 week old german shepherd. he pees all the time anywhere he wants. including in his crate....which is the right size for him. when i got him he was 8 weeks and he always asked to go out and i praised his an praised him for it..but then he stopped asking and he would pee on the floor...with no warning so i took him to the vet and she put him on antibiotics for possible bladder infection. after the 7 days there was no change. i have tried leaving nothing but i toy in his crate with him and he still pees. if i leave blankets he pees on them then pushes them aside. im taking him out about every hour. Every day i continue to watch him like a hawk.... and im letting him out about every half hour when hes loose. A few nights i have been real tired and not woken up to take him out and he has been able to hold it 5 hours. but normally he has trouble with and hour...im really puzzled.... if any one has had a similar experience can u tell me how it turned out please???

There are several cats in our household. I've just recently noticed that several of our cats stretch one of their hind legs (primarily the left leg) out behind them when they approach a human and sometimes other cats. Is this some form of greeting? Submission? I can't find anything about this when I search online.

He just got neutered yesterday and he's not eating anything, he's very lethargic, he threw up and he peed all over himself. So, we called the vet and she told us to give him a certain medication and he threw it up right after.

I don't know what's wrong with him. :[ Any suggestions?

I have had my rose hair for about 6months now. She dug herself a hole in the bedding and proceeded to build a web around herself. On the second day she broke out of it. She has since then balled up the web and is sitting on it. She has been like that for about 2 1/2 weeks and will not eat or leave the ball of web. What do I do?

I have a yorkie and she's three years old and one of the main problems I have with her is that she doesn't listen to me or to anyone in the household. If I call her she doesn't come unless she feels like it, and just today she ran outside and she kept running even though I was calling her to stop but she just wouldn't and I live right in front of an avenu so I was pretty scare, she's not used to be walking on her own. So the question is waht can I do to make her listen, help me.

My girlfriendwas playing with my dog (6 months after we got together) and there heads bumped each other. She got a very large cut in her mouth (almost needed stiches). Ever since then a very bad form of allergies has gotten worse every day. Could this be becuase of her new fear for my dog. My dog is a pitbull mix. And is there any evidence anywhere on this subject if so in order for me to show her?
