Pets - 17 December 2007

My Collie has a really horrible looking nose infection. I started maybe a year ago with a little pink showing on both sides of the nose. Recently it has spread quickly to completely cover the top of the nose into the nostrils, and is beginning to move up the snout. It is very pink and sometimes bleeding. My family doesn't seem to realize this is a serious infection, and I'm just wandering if I can get any info on this before I bring him to the vet. I read about "Collie nose" which would logically be this condition but I'm not sure. Has anyone seen this before? Any info at all would be great.

My 5 month old border collie mix (large) has had chronic intestinal inflammation since i got him. Finally he's been doing great after alot of antibiotics, a blood transfusion and hill's I/D....

I've tried to wean him off the I/D. Ive tried over 4 high quality brands, that are supposed to be good for dogs with sensitive stomachs and allergies. I mix 1/4 cup of it in (he eats a total of 4 cups of food a day), and after just 1/4 cup mixed in, he has explosive diarrhea and you can hear his stomach gurgling for hours.

I dont want to make him sick again. But I think I/D has too much fillers and things in it.. If I/D is all he can eat then it will have to do but does anyone have any suggestions please? Thank you.

i have three bearded dragons. i have one male, 15 inches nose to end of tail, and two females, one 13.5 inchest, and one 9.5 inches.

i know the females are too young for mating, and so i have got them separated, two females in one viv and the male in another one.

is it a good idea tom separate them from the male untill they are old enough??
when they are old enough, do i put in one female at a time, or both at the same time? (with the male)

I have been feeding my puppies water soaked dry dog food mixed with canned but now they need to start eating it dry to keep teeth in good shape. But all they do is eat the canned food and leave all the dry. I am worried they are not eating enough now but still they cannot eat their dry food soaked in water all the time! Help!

Our puppy is sick and won't drink water. We have a vet appointment for her today but we want to make sure she stays hydrated. We added a little apple juice to it and she drank a little but won't touch it again.

Any tips on how to get her to drink her water?

I've heard alot about them mistreating their ferrets in many ways, but I can't believe it until find out myself. I know alot about ferrets, I have 5 myself, and me, my mom & my aunt foster them, but my aunt fosters up to over 30 ferrets at once, which makes her kind of an expert, along with myself. I really want to know the truth, so I'd really appreciate it if someone could show me a site or something that had proof.

I want to bring my rabbit inside for the winter but I have three cats. I want to keep my rabbit in an indoor cage and there isn't any chance that the cats could get through the bars and harm him, but they may may sit there just looking at him. Will this freak my rabbit out having cats staring (possibly licking their lips?!)? Im not really up on rabbit psychology

I was trying to hold my hamster so I put my hand at the bottom of the tank. He came over and nipped my hand and then licked it a little. Is that his way of saying hello?
Lol.

Our 11-year-old Australian Shepherd recently developed a one-to-two centimeter tumor on her left lower gum. It was wrapped around a tooth...The vet surgeon removed the tumor and the tooth, but biopsy results will take a week or more to get back, and the tumor might spread. Is there a legitimate dietary supplement that could help improve her immune system, so that she can fight further problems with invasive tumors?

Please pray for our sweet dog. Thank you so much.

He has overcome many issues under my care. In June he lost half his body weight but I have managed to get it back up slowly.

He moves slowly...walks slow, takes a long time to sit down or lay down, rarely jumps, etc.

My 2nd worry is that this morning i called him and he didnt respond to me like he has gone deaf because his ears never moved when they hear sounds.
i need help if you know what the problem is, please help?
