Pets - 24 December 2007

I want to optimize my dogs health. No one I know has any Dobe's. Can you offer diets and fitness pointers. She just made a year last month. When she runs with me she gets tired sometimes. Its only 5 miles in the morning. I dont like taking advice from petsmart and petco becuase I think the just wanna sell me stuff. Any tips on good foods? Snacks? Coat care? I just want her to be healthy and happy and in good shape.

I was made to understand that you have to get the cat neutered at a certain time so he doesn't become obese. When is this?

My bearded dragon does not like to swim very much, she is about three years old, and i love her to death- but when she is swimming i get so scared because she acts like she's going to die in two inches of water! I put her in the bath to bathe her, and i keep my hands in there so she can climb on me if she gets TOO scared, and i get clawed REALLY bad... I know that not all bearded dragons like to swim, but SERIOUSLY! It's gotten to the point that i really hate to bathe her... What's up with this? How can i get her to like the water - or at least not think she's going to drown in it!
Any ideas...?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a variety of banty chicken that laid relatively large eggs for their size. My sister and I have a little flock of pet banties (two Silkies, three banty Modern Game hens, and a Seabright rooster) and we want to expand the flock and get some more hens that would get along nicely with the ones we currently have. My mom has been complaining about not having enough eggs, so banties that lay somewhat larger eggs than the average banty would be nice.
Thanks!

Ok my cat walks around with HIS butt in the air. Also when he lay down his butt still is up. Plus when we touch his raises his butt in the air and moves his hinds legs. He meows all day and he is not hungry. Also he keeps going up to objects and rubbing himself on it.

I've got my pup i believe 3 days ago and its about 4 weeks old its really young and i know its not supposed to be away from its mother. I just really need some advice. Its always yelping, whimpering, and whining whenever i put it its cage or i leave it alone. Ive tryed everything from giving her rewards when she goes inside, I praise her when she does, im not mean to her, and i tryed ignoring her but its so loud its giving me a headache. I dont want to give it away and it only stops whining when it get exhausted from yelping and then when it wakes up again it starts going at it again. Its been even biting the cage and i tryed giving her toys and things to keep her occupied but she doesnt even touch it. Or is it maybe its cold, needs some attention, needs to go pee, or eat I really don't know. It also stops when i take it out to walk or play with her and that's about it and even after that she keeps going at it after shes in a cage. Anything that will help her stop and so i can manage.

I have a 4 year old mare that i wish to breed. We tried last breeding season, but she did not concieve and it was too late in the season to continue trying, so i decided to wait untill this spring. The thing i would like to know is If there is anything in particular i should do to prepare her, since she has never been in foal before? The stallion is fertile and he is at the barn i board at. Would it be easier to do in-hand breeding or pasture breeding and how often? Thanks so much...
