Small pets
Posted Thursday December 25 2008, 11:03 pm
I want a small pet. I was thinking of, geril, hamster, ferret, sugar glider, chinchilla... Ferrets I heard can be aggressive, shed too much. Hamsters may not be personable enough for me. Chinchillas and SUgar Gliders Are adorable but I do not know much about them as pets. I want a pet that will sleep and poop in there own cage. A pet I can take out daily and spend some time with him/her. A pet that will be friendly and is legal to have as a pet in canada. Any ideas of which small pet I should get and what store in toronto would sell it? Thanks

pet problems
Posted Tuesday December 23 2008, 7:27 pm
I have two small dogs. I've had them since they were young. And now they're about ten years old. They haven't been listening to anyone very well in the past years.
When they somehow get out of the house. I can't get them to come back. Sometimes I can get the younger one to but I usually have to end up chasing them and carrying them back.
And recently, the older one has started to try to bite me when I try to get him. Which is very odd of him because he's usually very gentle.
Also, they keep going to the bathroom in the house. They usually let someone know that they need to go out. But sometimes they don't. And even when they have been outside for several hours, once they come back inside, they g...

My uncle always tires to feed my chihuahua table scraps. i TELL him over and over that it's bad for him because he is so small. Give me some scientific explanation as to why he should not feed my 12 week old puppy..... PLEASE also I already know that it rots their teeth, can make them overweight, and is an unbalanced diet. Is their any other reason why, and can I get a website that agrees (not required).

i think i hurt my guinea pig
Posted Friday December 12 2008, 11:37 am
Okay I just got a guinea pig less then a month ago. And I was putting her in her cage, and i was so stupid because she jumped maybey half a foot down out of my hands ( i guess she was scared) and now she hardly puts her front left foot( or leg) down I am so scared, I am pretty sure its broke or fractured, and the closest vet in 2 hrs. away.
Will it heal in time or what?
How can i help her be happy, am i paranoid or somthing. I just feel so horrible it's all my fault!
IF I was to take her to the vet what would they do? Will it cost a couple hundred dollars or what?

guinea pig
Posted Thursday December 11 2008, 6:57 am
Oh my gosh, okay so heres the deal:
I bought my guinea pig at pets mart (girl) and they said that she was "vet certified" and was 3-6 months old.
I noticed she was really fat and was a picky eater, and used the potty ( #2) ALOT.
I only had her a week and just last night I went in to tell her good night, and she had 3 babies (dead) laying around her!!!
SHE Was pregnant the whole time.
Well we took care of the babie, and completly cleaned her cage. But now what.
Could she be older then expected, or could she have been injured, should i hold her differently.
HELP. I know the babies are dead. but it doesn't change the fact she had them. Should i take her to a vet? Call Pets mart or what?

About a hamster I saw recently
Posted Tuesday December 9 2008, 1:10 pm
I was at a local pet store looking at the hamsters and I noticed that a few of them had matted diharria (spelling?) in their fur by their butt. A couple of them looked like they had wet tail. Other than the diharria though they didn't look or act unhealthy. They weren't lethargic or making any noises that would alert me to pain. I went in the late evening so they would be awake...what do you think...wet tail?

Does anyone understand how to write the genetic codes of hamsters?
Posted Sunday December 7 2008, 8:33 pm
I'm trying to understand how to write the genetic codes (i.e.: Aa, Wh, Bb) What order are you supposed to put them in and how do you know what genes two starter hamsters have in them, if they were from a pet shop? Do you just base it on what the hamster looks like and begin writing up geneotypes for their offspring? I understand how genetics works until I get to this point. Please help.l

Is there anyway without a bomb?

Can people get worms from pets?
Posted Saturday November 15 2008, 5:09 pm
I have a Maine Coon cat that I recently took to the veterinarian for a check-up, really. I just wanted to make sure my Maine Coon cat was healthy. :)
The Vet looked at my Maine Coon cat and did a few swabs and such. They told me that my Maine Coon cat had worms! It was okay though because they gave me some cat dewormer, and enough cat dewormer in case this happened again.
I was wondering something very strange though. Can I get worms from my Maine Coon cat? The cat has obviously had these more than just today so do I need to find some sort of dewormer for me to use too?

Picking a small, sweet dog
Posted Tuesday November 11 2008, 8:30 pm
I want a small indoor dog who can get along with my cat, is preferably easy to groom, doesn’t bark like crazy without good reason, and is affectionate. There are no children in my home which is in a rural area, I’d love taking him/her on a walk with a leash, but the dog also needs to be able to entertain itself for about 9 hours while I’m gone at work on weekdays. If anyone can give me breed suggestions, tips, or any other info, that would be great! I’m considering an Australian Terrier.
