Pets - 8 December 2007

I'm getting a new horse. He's a 4 year old short black horse, with a small white star on his forehead. I have come up with these names (after narrowing it down):

Trey
Shogun
Domino
Rudiger (Rudy)

I would like to name him something more original. So nothing like 'Midnight' or 'Shadow.'
Any suggestions or do you like one of the ones I thought up?
Thank you! =)

Okay, he's devoured all my other helpless aquarium fish. I hate him, but I cannot watch him starve. What do I feed a crayfish? (Please don't say feeder fish.. I had no idea these things were carnivores!) =(

Hi i have Breed one of my sows and was wondering if i could leave my other sow with her all the way through her pregnacy?

Originally i was planning on breeding two of my guinea pigs Rogue and Faith. Saddly faith died before i had the chance i was upset so my mum brought me a new guineapig Piglet, Piglet is too young to breed but i went ahead with Rogue before its to late ( before she is too old for her first litter). Anyway i wanted to know if Piglet will be alright with the babies. Rogue is 7-9 weeks gone and her and piglet are good friends will it be alright to leave the two together

I have a kitten, sodapop. he is also 6 months or so. he runs up and down like a maniac (and isn't on anything like catnip) it seems like he does this the most right after he eats. like it energizes him or something. he doesn't really come to me a lot (unless i just came from skool and he misses me), but I usually chase him myself. I pet him a lot but after a while he starts to bite and scratch. he also plays 2 roughly so sometimes I have to get gloves. 4 some reason, he gets scared whenever I get close to my mom and dad like he doesn't know them and they didn't do anything to him. (this just started happening) I'm scared to carry him to the vet because he hasn't gotten use to strangers. what if he runs away while the vet is trying to give him his shots? and he has some kind of sores on his head below the ears in these two light spots. it's red. he seems to bleed in little areas like in his ears. nothing too serious (i hope) it doesn't hurt him at all when I touch it. help me!

she is a malamute and has her winter coat but on her back if I seperate her skin, I see crusty skin and the undercoat I guess, can come off very easily if I pick on it.

I got her from the shelter this way so its not something she has seen the vet about.

I was told alot of dogs have flea allergies. Does this mean she is going to lose her coat or just have little clumps of hair fall out? Trust me, she has plenty.

BTW.. she doesnt have fleas. Is there some sort of bath or meds I can give her so her skin isnt dry? Its only in some spots on her back, fortunately.

And thanks to everyone's answers, I hate picking best answer, ugh.

OK so - this is obviously a hypothetical question, but what would win in a fight:

Puffer Fish vs. Axolotl

(for those of you who don't know, Axolotl are amphibious creatures that grow up to just over 1ft long).

Is it humane/legal/acceptable to put a dog on the back of a truck? I just saw a truck with a dog on the back, but for the first time, the dog was in a cage. Any other time I've seen a dog on the back of the truck, he was running around loose. I don't even like dogs, but I hate seeing them sliding on the back of trucks. Isn't that dangerous? I'm pretty sure that's how most of the dead dogs on the freeways got there.

My dog has been getting a lot of eye boogers, and I was wondering if there's anything that I can drop in to clear it up. All I have been doing, is cleaning his eyes with a towel, but today it was on his eye and I do know that if it stays there, it can blind him. If there is anything I can put now, please tell me, also tell me if this is a matter of taking him to the vet. Thanks in advance.

My live plants look like something is eating holes in them! It’s almost like as if some kind of bug was eating on them. Does anyone know what this could be caused from?

healthy. She used to weigh 8 to 9 pounds, but now she weighs 6 pounds. She ate dry food most her life, but now we give her canned food, as her teeth are getting bad. How much canned food do you give your cat and how much does he/she weigh. We dont want to under feed her or over feed her either--Thank you.

I have a large (fat!) yellow lab who can chew through a pigs ear in 5 minutes. She loves the big rawhide bones we give her and she can chew through those in an hour or less. I've read that they're bad so I think we shouldn't give them to her. She doesn't like toys...only her ball. Plastic squeaky toys don't amuse her. She chews these bones and leaves little shards all over the house. She also coughs and almost throws up...what's a safe alternative that I can easily buy from a pet store?

Will they get along? I'm thinking of getting 2/3, should I get all females? Or 2 females and 1 male? Will they breed? I don't want babies, but I don't want fights between 3 males!

Every so often my dog will just go off. He will start running circles around our house, and if we let him outside he tears circles around the lawn running full speed. If he is inside and we corner him to make him stop he will run small circles in the space he has. I dont mind, I think its funny, I was wondering if this is common in dogs or what it means, thanks.
