Pets - 25 December 2007

I'm trying to ck whether a local breeder is AKC certified. I'm having trouble finding the URL. Can anyone provide me with a link that will lead me to this process?

Thanks

I just got a kitten 2 days ago and it has been itching as if it does have them. I have looked for them but i didnt see any. Is it just itchy every once in a while or does it have fleas?

All she does is sleep. I put her in water with food. She used to eat all the time but ever since it has gotten cold, she just sleeps and sleeps. Enlighten me someone!

A neighbor already has had theirs chained outside all day. The weather outside is frightful...the fire is so delightful...since it has no place to go... I may have to let it go ...let it go...let it go!

Looks like the little guy already wore out his welcome.

The sweetener in question is splenda. I've got a friend who is diabetic so I made a pie using it, I normally let the dogs eat the leftover merangue when I use regular sugar, which they love, but I don't want to let them have it if it might hurt them.

so ive spent a nice long time sifting through a ton of crap on a ton of sites to get nothing i need to know.

i got a 20 gallon fish tank for christmas. it comes with a whisper filter and crap like that.

i love the fish tank, but i dont want it if i need to do maintance on it. so far ive found out, i have to tcheck the water and chemicals, and i have to clean my filter, and i have to clean the water apparently....

on this instruction manual tthing it says "the filter cartidge should be changed once per month to prevent backflow and avoid filtration problems resulting from a clogged filter cartidge" so does that mean i have to spend money on a new cartirdge every month? how much are those?

what are other mainatance do i have to do? how much are little kits? how the hell am i supposed to adjust the water so its healthy for the fish? how the hell am i supposed to clean this tank? what the heck is a gravel vaccuum? im not buying a stupid fish vacuum so i can suck up poop from the grav

Right now my dwarf gourami is building a bubble nest. He keeps on pulling java moss to the top but it always falls. Is there anything that i can do to make it stay? The female in the tank has lots of hiding places so the male doesn't kill her. There are also many water sprite plants. He uses some of those but not all of them. How long will it take for him to finish the nest? (he started it 20 minutes ago). How long will it take for him and the female to mate after the nest has been finished? On average many eggs are dispersed? How long does it take for them to hatch? Will the male eat the young?



MERRY X-MAS!!!

Is this water safe for fish............ Its from the grocery store.... It is called "Refreshe Spring Water" and is microfiltered and ozonated.

This water will be added to my friend's new fish tank. She already had the fishtank halfway filled with water thats been filtering for 3 days. She doesn't have any fish tank water dectectors as of now (her husband just got the tank last week and the fish yesterday) We just want to make sure this water is safe to add to the tank to fill it up all the way for the fish

What are some really important things to know about Great Danes before purchasing one?
I'd really like to hear about personal experiences.

Also, Do you think an 850 sq. ft 2 bedroom loft is too small for a great dane?

If so, can you suggest another breed (keep in mind I AM NOT looking for chihuahua-sized dogs)?

About 5 minutes ago, our black shar pei's face swelled up horribly and she has gone pretty much gone crazy. She is itching her face terribly and would do anything to keep itching it. We have her tied down with an ice pack being held on her face and gave her a Benadryl. What do you think is going on, and how is this going to be cured?

My scottish fold cat is 13 years old and has had diabetes for a few years. His health has made a steep decline in the past six months and this morning he woke up, ate, and then suddenly fell over. When he fell over, he lost control of his bladder then started having seizures. We sat with him for a bit and all of a sudden he popped up and was able to walk around and eat. Then we thought he was ok (he has been in a few scary situations already) and my mom found him laying with down and breathing rapidly looking really ill again. My family is torn on the decision to make... what should we do? What is wrong with him? (aside from his diabetes)

I recently separated him from his cage mate because he lost his tail. I've given him more worms than I normally would, because he needs to store fat. However, everytime I glance in it looks like its all gone! Then I check on him to see if his stump is alright (as in not infected) and I find tons of the mealworms in his coconut! Is this normal behavior, or is there something I should do?

It seems like the life of a hamster is so boring, just in it's cage. I want to get my famale hamster a friend, but everyone says that you can't get another female because they'll fight. I don't want to get a male because they'll repopulate. What do I do?

we just got a male yorkie-poo that is 8 weeks old and it randomly humps some of his toys and some other objects. Why is he doing this? He isn't fixed yet, but will be next month. Would it decrease him doing this if he is fixed? We had a female maltese and she never did this. Any advice will be appreciated.

Christmas 2007 has been horrible. Timmy, my beautiful Golden Retriver/German Sheppard, 1.5 yrs old, died on Monday the 24th of December 2007 from Parvovirus. We noticed on 21/12/2007 that Timmy was vommiting and had bloody diarehea and was totally out of it (it was horrible). We rushed him straight to an after hours vet in Blacktown, where I must say, the Vet was horrible to him. Timmy was such a beautiful, loving and kind natured dog. My other equally beautiful dog Jack, 2 yrs old, a mixed breed of Fox Terrior and Cattle Dog, was rushed today at 3.00am (26/12/07) to Baulkham Hills Emergency Vet. Jack is now too being treated after his test was positive for Parvo. It has been a horrible chain of events over the last 5 days, please send your good wishes to Jack, as I don't know what to do anymore. PLEASE, if you have a dog of ANY age, and it has not been vacinated and you are in Blacktown (a Parvo area) please go and get it done now! I love you Timmy & Jack, please make it through bud.

So my boyfriend got me a 20 gallon fish tank. Now my problem is that the filter makes too much noise. I don't know what is wrong with it but I know that it isn't supposed to make that much noise. The filter is a "Pengiun Power Filter 150 & 200". How do I fix the noise!! Please and Thank you.
