Pets - 17 December 2007

Help! I have a two year old cat who used to be wild. I tamed her, but she gets a wild streak every once in a while. When you make her mad, she goes and pees over everything. We've tried the difuser, and everything else. I don't really want to fork out MORE money to try to find a solution....so what can I do? She uses the litter box. Again, it is only if you tick her off. Please help?

My pitbull is like 13 years old and has arthritis in her hips and back legs. This cold weather is really making it hard for her to walk and I noticed that her legs give out frequently. She has been barking consistantly. I can't afford to take her in to have a bunch of tests to get a prescription. Does anyone know any over the counter/people pain killers that I can give her to help her?

They're both male puppies. One is 8-months-old (male Shih-tzu) and the other is about 6 months (french bulldog). I'm not sure whether they're just playing or actually fighting because sometimes I hear them growling although they don't really bite hard. They have separete crates and separate play pens and they only get together when under supervision. They also have a tendency to be very possesive and selfish--they can't share toys or anything. =S

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

We have an adult Mini-Poodle and are planning to adopt a Standard pup. Both males.

Clearly, the Standard will arrive the bigger one than our older Mini. We fear the Standard will drive his more senior but smaller Mini out of rank, because he's so much bigger. That would be really sad for the Mini who has gone through so much with our family.

We don't want any deadly fights; the Mini can't even reach the bigger pup. We want them to be equal, so we will treat them equally. Is that possible?

just having a debate with my cousin over which dog is bigger, i own a lab retriever and she said she wants a rothweiller dog, she claims a lab is bigger than a rothweiller (sorry i think my spelling for it is wrong), i know they would be fatter dogs but are they taller than a lab? i think that a lab would definately be smaller but she claims a rothweiller would be smaller, anyone want to help me prove my point here so i can wipe it in her face ha ha

You guys are great! I've sort of got the breeding bug now, I think I might start doing some research. I worked at vets' offices and kennels on and off in high school and college and that taught me plenty, but some of you answerers, especially the active breeders, are really teaching me a lot through your answers--so thanks!

We've already taken him to the vet and they gave him some medicine but he's not taking it....we managed to get him to eat some of the meds but he's throwing everything up, even water! What are his chances of surviving? He's very thin and in his vomit I can see little bits of blood. The vet just told us to keep giving him the meds..... :( HELP! What are his chances?

trend? Why are there so many questions reguarding 5 and 6 week old pups? It's horrible to think that there's so many breeders out there getting rid of their pups this early.

Is this most likely because of the Christmas season + $ or is this an all-year-long thing? It seems like there's been atleast 20 people a day claiming to have 5 and 6 week old puppies..

George is 7-8 months old and much heavier and more solid than our 5yo cat. He weighs 11 lbs. He eats at least twice what she does (he eats a at least a cup a day & 1/2 a can of tuna cat food :) That's the highlight of his day). We just went through a bag of cat food in a week that pre-George would have lasted six weeks!

I bought the adult weight maintenance formula cat food so he gets the nutrients without too much fat...

Is that unusual for a fairly active cat to be eating that much?

P.S. This cat was a stray--we don't know for how long. We're told that might affect his eating habits. Maybe he's eating so much because for so long he had to eat whatever food he found whenever he found it...

I have a Russian Blue without papers. I know for dogs you can send a picture to AKC and they can tell just by that. Is there something similar for cats?

I was wondering if one was better for plants?

The hood that I was thinking about buying has a "screw fixture" - the end you plug the lightbulb into is shaped like a the end of a regular lamp lightbulb - and it will take a 15 watt incandescent bulb, or a 10 watt flourscent bulb...the package says that the 10 watt flourscent is equivelent to a 50 watt incandscent.

Can anyone clarify this?
Thanks a bunch

I understand why people hate PETA (I'm one of them), and I know of the crazy things they do.

However, I was just in a PETA question and saw that somebody had said that the Humane Society of the United States was bad too. I am not trying to disagree with this person, but was wondering if anybody could give me reasons as to why they dislike HSUS. Any links or stories are greatly appreciated!

What has the HSUS done that you don't agree with? Do you have any proof (online article, website) that I could view?

Thanks!
