Found a kitten and now someone is looking for him. . .
Posted Friday April 2 2010, 6:34 pm
So, I found a kitten super early monday morning outside my apartment and he ran right up to me and started meowing and purring and I brought him upstairs and fed him (he was really hungry) and he was also really dirty. I have since taken him to the vet and had all his vaccines done and am planing on getting him neutered on the 20th. I already love him and I am one of those people who considers animals to be like humans.
Today, I am walking around the neighborhood and there are flyers everywhere with the kitten I found on them. I don't know what to do. I don't think I can give him up (it would be like giving away a human baby) and my other cat already has bonded with him.
Should I ignore the flyers and not do ...

Lovebird mother looks weak
Posted Saturday March 13 2010, 12:29 pm
My lovebird laid several eggs for the first time in December, and none of them hatched. Then again in February, she laid six eggs, and three of them have hatched since the beginning of March. She stays in the next box all day- the male bird feeds her, and she regurgitates food for the chicks. She has been in that box for a long time, and hardly leaves to get food. She sits on the chicks all day. But I see that she looks weak, and my dad keeps telling me it's normal, since she is sitting on the chicks all day, hardly leaves the box, and doesn't eat a lot on her own. He also says it's hormonal. Is my dad completely right, or should I be worried? she does take care of the chicks (along with the male bird), but she just looks like she has no energy.

where can i buy an aquarium turtle?
Posted Friday March 12 2010, 12:26 pm
Does anybody know any chain pet stores where I can buy small turtles? I believe that they are aquarium turtles, correct me if I am wrong.
If you know any specific places in the Alpharetta, or Duluth, or Johns Creek area in Georgia, that would be helpful.

my cat only eats wet food!
Posted Saturday March 6 2010, 7:31 pm
Hi everybody, I have a problem. No matter what I try and no matter what brand of dry cat food I will buy my cat only eats wet food!
Frankly, things are pretty tight right now and I can't afford this expensive wet cat food I started feeding her. I don't want her to die, so what do I do? How do I get my cat to eat dry food?
Thank you!

Insane Itching
Posted Thursday March 4 2010, 10:35 pm
2 Months ago my dog started itching uncontrollably, i took him to our groomer and they said he had a bad case of dry skin. After that i made sure to follow what they told me to do, but he wasnt getting any better.
He has chewed off all the lower fur on his back legs, has itched off his stomach fur, and front leg fur to the point where it is bleeding and or scabbed over, and just tonight he chewed all of the fur off from over his butt and had a huge gaping gash. I dont know what to do, i know i need to take him to the vet tomorrow and i plan on doing that, but i just dont understand how dry skin could be doing this?!
Also i need to know if vets will accept payment plans, i dont get paid till next friday, and ...

Bearded Dragon Won't Eat
Posted Wednesday March 3 2010, 1:12 pm
I recently bought a pet bearded dragon about 3 months ago. He's a juvenile still and this past week he has stopped eating. He's also starting to look VERY thin. I want to try force feeding him something and i was wondering if i could give him yogurt or something mushy that i could just push into his mouth. Any other suggestions would be great i`m just really worried about him!
Also, i dont know if this could be the cause of him not eating but i recently added a red heat light to his cage and a new heat pad because he didn't have one before.

Do animals have belly buttons?
Posted Wednesday February 24 2010, 6:11 am
My little sister was born yesterday and my mom was showing me the umbilical cord and how it is going to fall off and there will be a belly button there. I, of course, knew all of this already but I had never actually seen this happen in person. I think that it's pretty fascinating though.
Do animals have navels too? I've never seen something like a cat with a belly button but maybe the scar is smaller for them? Just curious...

People who have rabbits as pets
Posted Tuesday February 9 2010, 12:26 am
OK Dogs and Cats are out so please no suggestions to get them:
Ok so i'd like to know how it is having a rabbit as a pet. We are thinking about getting one of the mini bunnies that don't get very big, but how are they with cuddling? Do they like it? See we want something like a dog that we can cuddle but that we can potty train like a cat and our pet store lady said we can potty train rabbits, but I just don't know how much they like to be held and how they are if we are at work or if we are sleeping. Are they ok alone you know like will they get depressed or are they pretty good about independance (ok now obviously i'm not talking about all day every day, just like a few hours). Are they good with birds if anyone knows. Thanks.

My cat keeps pooping outside her litter
Posted Wednesday February 3 2010, 6:43 pm
My cat keeps pooping outside her litter, she's 9 years old, I clean the litter at least twice a day, the litter brand has not been changed. The only thing I believe it is caused by is that we introduced two cats in the house about four months ago, although she only started doing this this last week. I believe that could be the problem but I need her to stop! I cannot remove the other cats because they belong to my roommate and my lease isn't up until July. Is there any advice anyone can give me?

Can you milk a dog??
Posted Monday February 1 2010, 11:14 pm
I feel insane even asking this... but can you milk a dog?
I have a puppy that the mother simply will not take care of and this is the only puppy that survived.
She has milk and I know it would be better than formula just like breastfeeding a baby makes them smarter and happier.
Help? If so... how? Do they make doggy breastpumps?

Posted Monday February 1 2010, 9:33 am
My 9-month-old doberman puppy past away on thursday, the 28th. He was our first puppy together, my husband and i. Its been so hard dealing with the pain & the loss, he was my beautiful baby boy. The breeder offered to give us another dobe for free but we're not quite ready for another just yet. I cant stop thinking about him, i want to cry every second of the day.
Is there anyone here thats dealt with losing a beloved pet before? How can I make this easier on myself...Anything helpful comments will be appreciated. Thanks.

Cat keeps pooping outside of box daily
Posted Saturday January 30 2010, 7:02 am
Hi
I have a 3 year old male cat, he has been pooping outside his box on a daily basis, this has been going on for a few months, its starting to get really annoying cleaning up the floor so much, I have 6 boxes in my house, I also have 4 other cats 2 males and 2 females, and a free roaming rabbit(that will occasionally use the boxes.) i can say that he is a very nervous cat, any noise or person he sees he runs, except for me.. due to what he has been doing, ive limited him to my room only cut off from the rest of the house, but when he sneaks out... around 12am ill later find his mess inches from the box. i dont know what the problem could be

Sinking Fish
Posted Friday January 8 2010, 4:55 pm
I bought two Mollies (one orange, the other black) about two days ago. I've performed all the tests the store clerk has told me to, the tank is clean...but for some reason, my black molly seems to stay on the bottom of the tank. It can swim; If I put food in, it eats normally, and if it's approached by the other fish, it swims away. But most of the time? Just sitting there.

twitching head
Posted Wednesday January 6 2010, 1:31 pm
my cat is a 13 year old female, blue point persian, indoor only (couldnt have fleas/earmites)
the other day, my cats head began to twitch to the left when she walked and sat, even when she slept a little. if i touched above her left eye it would make the twitching act up. she acted normal besides that (ate, walked around, jumped up on the bed) it lasted for about 2 hours on and off, then it hasnt happened since.
i looked it up on the internet and it said that it could be a neurological problem, thats common in older cats. also, could the fact that my cats vet said that she had a 'stopped up colon ?' (ive been giving her some metamucil to help.) also she has a little gingivitis.
is she okay since...
