Hello,

I know the first reaction to my question is that we should take our rabbit to the vet immediately. Not that we are inhumane, but our rabbit is 13 years old, blind, possibly had a stroke, lost her sister a year ago and we feel that trips to the vet have become too stressful for her. We feel that there is nothing more we can do for her besides comfort her. Our often suggests blood work, which would again, be too stressful for her.

Bugsie, 13, has been blind for roughly 3-4 years now. Her eyes are covered in a white, hazy color. One eye developed a red spot about a month ago. Pretty much overnight she developed a white coating over her entire eye. The white spot protrudes outward and appears oozy. She cleans her face and it seems as if she breaks bits off that crust into her fur. We do not suspect that she is in any pain as she is still eating as normal and spends a great deal of time grooming herself.

I ask this in hopes that you could give us an idea of what she is going through. It scares me that eventually the entire white coating will disintegrate and be wiped off. It may be the best thing for her as it is extremely difficult for her to close her eye. I would consider providing a photo, but it really isn’t a sight anyone would want to see. I suppose I am just looking for somewhat of an answer as to what is going on. Obviously, we are not looking for a cure.

Thanks,
Kate

I'm tarantula sitting for a friend this semester. It's a common kind of pet store tarantula (wooly or rose haired, I think) and I believe it's a female.

Recently, after having her in my room for a couple of weeks, she started webbing off one of her tubes to live in. I could just barely see inside and I noticed there was thick white stuff all over the floor.

Today, when I looked again, she was sitting in the middle of the tank atop this blob of white stuff. It kind of looked like half of a melted marshmallow. Her abdomen was shrunken by almost half of what it used to be (origingally about the size of a small walnut).

Is this an egg sac that she made? She hasn't been in contact with any males in the month that I've had her...but I don't know how long a tarantula goes between mating and laying her eggs.

Does anyone know what's going on?

I guess what I'm really asking is.. Which group of people are most likely to make a pet a part of the family?

I'm going to be getting a couple of pet rats in about a month, i've done lots of reading on the subject, and know that I should get 2 of them, keep lots of toys around, and what not... but I'm kinda curious as to other people's experience with them as pets, what works, what doesn't. and also, i'm considering females, should i have them spayed? i've heard conflicting views on it. Which would be best, 2 males or 2 females? One more thing, I've had someone offer me a really nice used chinchilla cage, it looks like it will work great, but it's got plastic tubes (like the hamster ones but much bigger around) will the rats like these or will they just be a waste of time? thanks so much!

do they get up and go outside? Does it just come out in their sleep? They can't really hold it for months, so I'm curious how a bear answers when nature calls.

I want to know how to take care of an orphan baby mouse. I found him in our laundry room on the floor and his eyes r still shut. He is too young to be on his own and I don't have the heart to just give him to the cat or throw him out in the yard to freeze to death. Please tell me what to do!!!
