Pets - 28 December 2007

Hi, I'm 23 weeks pregnant, and just about the worst thing that could have happened, has happend. My partner and I went away for Christmas and he had left locked the cat flap by accident, and the cat was trapped in the utility room for three nights.... She had pooped and obviously you can imagine the room was a mess. I didn't clear it up myself, my partner wore gloves and disposed of the mess and then cleaned the floor with antibac floor cleaner and with Bleach.
I'm still worried about it. Could I have caught toxoplasmosis from this? I didn't go in the room myself, but I am still freaking out like mad about this. What are your views? The cat has now gone to be looked after by my mums as I was so worried about it all.

My puppy is throwing up saliva. She is still running around and playing. I know she loves eating stuff of the floor even though I keep my floors as clean as possible but she is so tiny she gets into places I cant reach is it possible that she might have eaten something that made her stomach upset?

He is a year old collie, he threw up a few times in 1 day but no more for the past few days. He also for a few days before would rub his backside against furniture. Now all he will do is eat,drink, and sleep. He has runny eyes and lays around unusually all day. The vet gave us dewormer and a shot for a fever but that was all they did!!! They said they could do tests but they wouldnt take a payment plan so I cant afford it!! Could he have worms? Where can I go with a payment plan option?

Is this a good reason to get a dog?

I have a dog that's about 3 years old that I adopted from a humane shelter, she's a corgi/lab mix. I used to live in the country with my parents and their 2 dogs and now I've moved into the city with my dog, so she doesn't get to run free like she did. We don't have a fenced in yard but I do take her for walks. I'm thinking about possibly getting another lab mix cuz she's a very social dog, doesn't try to be dominant nor too shy. And I work about 8 to 10 hours a day and although she has toys and stuff I'm wondering if a second dog would make her happy. She met my brothers puppy at christmas and they were having a blast playing outside in the snow in the country. But would she still enjoy another dog if they're both mostly inside dogs, and only get to go out on a leash? Also, she is a spayed female so would it be best to get another spayed female or a neutered male? She doesn't misbehave when I'm gone though, but like all dogs she gets very excited when I come home.

My sister gave him too much food yesterday and he's been lying in the same position for I don't know how long, he won't even go outside and he LOVES to go outside.
What should I do to help him feel better??
(someone told me that I can give him a baby aspirin, is it safe? would it help in any way?)

Hi! I just got this Appaloosa- looking pony. He is a light chestnut with stunning white spots all over his body. On his forhead he has ton of tiny white spots that sort of make the shape of a shooting star. And I don't want to name him Star or something. He is always being naughty and has a great, friendly personality. If any one has some suggestions, that would be great. Also, his name right now is Handprint. Should I keep that name?

I've adopted an elderly (11+ year old husky) that was in the shelter for months and was going to be euthanized soon. He's been in and out 10 times there and his back legs are really weak from either a spine problem or being hit by a car. We thought he would be no problem and wanted to adopt him to let him live out his days in a forever home. When we got home, all he would do was follow us around slowly or lay down. But the first day I left him alone 3 hours, I put him in the large guest room so he wouldnt get to my birds (and he kept pushing the hallway gate away) and when I came home, he ate the bed sheets, ripped the curtains, shattered the blinds, and almost broke the window. So the next day i left him alone 3 hours in a METAL crate and when I came back, he practically ate his way out of it (broke 14 bars off!). I don't know what to do and I feel extremely terrible bringing him back to the shelter. We don't have a yard, which the shelter recommended for him since he's an escaper.

My yellow headed amazon ate a piece of chocolate the size of light switch or small screw. Is this going to kill him or hurt him?

I have a 10 gallon tank with one molly and one male cory cat. My female cory died of old age and I wanted to get a new one becasue he will not be active after losing his mate. I have been testing my water and doing water changes. i add good bacteria and ph increase , but I cannot get my ph above 6. My water is very soft and the ph is too acidic. I am afraid to add another fish with this ph level. I can't go to expensive measures to fix this, but want to do my best. If anyone has any advise on how to handle this situation it would be greatly appreciated. Seems like the petstore employees don't even know what to do.
