Definitely talk to your vet again about Satchmo. Amitriptyline isn't the only option for reducing his stress with medication. Some cats do better on prozac, so see what your vet thinks about that. Sorry your situation sucks.

bee soup posted:Thank you so much for all your help through this. I might try the carrier thing, but I doubt that he'll enjoy being confined all night (especially with another cat roaming around). I might try sleeping with my partners' shirt or something and giving Satch lots of love, to show him that my partner's smell isn't threatening when it's in bed with me. Elvis is going into the vet on Wednesday to make sure her spay incision is healing properly, so I'll take that opportunity to discuss Satch with my vet. I think it might be best to bring him into the vet again to make sure he's still not having any physiological problems, but if all his unpleasant behaviours are stress-induced, and anti-anxiety medication and synthetic pheremones haven't helped, well, I don't know how much longer I should wait to see if he mellows out. Maybe I should surrender Elvis instead... I guess she would have a better chance at adoption. I just don't know what to do. The problem with taking Elvis in is what if Satch is never cured of his problems? Then you have to surrender/re-home him and you are now out both of your cats which would really suck. So I'd suggest keeping Elvis. How are they getting along? Could it be possible to put them both in one large5r carrier? Or perhaps separate carriers for the night time? I don't by any means think the cat carrier idea is something that should be permanent, just until Satch clams down and learns he doesn't need to pee on your head. Before bed time I'd make sure to play with them really hard, make sure they haven't snuck a nap a few hours before bed time so that by the time they need to go to sleep they are tuckered out. Also put a couple toy mice in the carrier. What about getting a bit ex-pen and putting some cat netting over the top so he/they can't jump out? It's bigger than a cat carrier, they can be in the same room as you and have more room to screw around with toys, food, water etc? Mesh Ex-Pen with included Covering Regular Wire Ex-Pen Cat Netting You can get Ex-Pens at Petco and they come in a shitload of sizes and heights. My mom found a bunch on craigs list too for pretty cheap when she needed one. When he pees on the bed, is he only doing it by your head/pillows? Would it be possible to rig up some SSScat to your head board or the side of your bed? You might have to be careful getting in and out and the first couple times it might wake you up but it should take more than once or twice for him to get the picture to stay away from that area at night. I'm not sure how effective this will be, but I'm just trying different ideas. v:(v That all really seems like it would be more of a band-aid though until he calms down and realizes he doesn't need to mark you or the vet is able to work out some other reason he maybe doing this and treat him. It seems like he needs a lot of extra love and attention from you. When you get home or wake up, get stupid excited to see him. Like, so excited that you'd be embarrassed if other people were watching, pick up up, love on him, pet him, give him treats, ignore Elvis, ignore your boyfriend, ignore everything else in the apartment, play with him and only him. Talk to him in a sweet, high pitched voice and say his name a lot. Do this anytime you come in, leave, wake up, before bed and a few other times during the day. You said it was better when other people were there giving him love, so try giving him lots of extra attention. I like the idea with the boyfriends shirt, no harm in giving that a shot. Also, have him give Satch lots of love too. Bribery with treats is never a bad thing so hopefully he'll bond more with him. If part of the problem is Satch seeing the boyfriend as a threat this might help. Have him act stupid excited to see the cat too just like you. Play with Satch together so he associates both of you with happy fun times. I really think you should take him to the vet again and let him know the medication isn't working. Maybe the can change the dosage or find another medication to put him on. They could possibly have options we haven't thought of yet. Maybe if those options don't work try a homeopathic type vet. I've never been to one and am skeptical, but hey, if it's a last ditch effort no harm in trying. I know how frustrating this is, and how gross it must be to wake up with a head full of pee but I was hoping with more time he could calm down. That's why I was hoping some of the band-aid ideas I posted up above might work. Keep us posted.

Ben got to be about 120. A good number or people suggested lab/great dane so that might be the case. He's about 70-80 pounds at the moment but he's still growing and still skinny.

Helanna posted:I just heard that my Mum bought by little sister a 4 week old guinea pig from a pet store today Four weeks is about a week after they need to be separated from the male siblings, so it's not too young in terms of bonding her with new girls. My bigger concerns would be A) that she may be a male (unless your parents are pretty savvy at sexing baby pigs and have already ruled that out), and B) she probably has mites, coming from a pet store - and now all three pigs probably have mites. Get them to a vet ASAP, get the baby sexed, and get them all treated with a preventative course of ivermectin or Revolution (NOT Frontline). The other, bigger concern is that the baby needs to be eating alfalfa-based pellets and alfalfa hay for another 24-48 weeks or so. The adults need to NOT be eating alfalfa, as it can lead to bladder stones. So for six months to a year, the baby should be separated and given alfalfa based foods once a day. The rest of the time she can eat timothy based foods like her friends.

Well, good to know it's not too young at least. After a previous incident of a pet store selling us "two males" when I was a kid (who later turned out to be one male and one pregnant female), my Mum is very vigilant about sexing the pets herself; she's 100% sure it's a girl. As far as vets go, I know the current guineas have been in and out of the vets for checkups regularly enough (and I think one of them had a dry skin issue for a while, or something) so I guess the mites thing is also not an issue by this stage. I'll remind them though. The alfalfa thing I didn't know, so I'll pass that on - my sister is very taken with the new pig, so she's got her out for handling very regularly. She's apparently a happy little thing, and eating well so it should be simple enough to feed her something different to the others once a day. Thanks!

my cat is crying she has clear tears coming out of her right eye. I'm going to call the vet in the morning but should I call the e vet now? I noticed the eye was red last night and a little tear but it seems to be getting worse. she gets "pink eye" when she gets stressed out but this looks different, and that hasn't happened in ages, at least over a year. She seems fine in every other way, but she has been very affectionate. *edited to add I did call the e vet and they said she should be ok tonight and just bring her in tomorrow in the morning *2nd edit home from the vet, my snow princess has the pink eye again they stained her eye to make sure there were no scratches and she is fine, but they also took a sample of a bump that has been bothering me so that was good, also they want her to come in for teef cleanings i have to hold her eye open and put stuff in it twice a day but she will be fine so yay ChairmanMeow fucked around with this message at 15:50 on May 5, 2009 |

Scrotos posted:I have a really skinny cat can anyone suggest an easy treat to fatten them up? If your older cat has lost weight, why didn't they do bloodwork to find out what's up? Weight loss in an older cat is pretty much always a symptom of an underlying problem, not just old age. On top of that, there are some great appetite stimulant drugs that work great for older kitties who don't want to eat (again due to a real medical problem that needs treatment on its own). You can try chicken baby food, but make sure you get a brand that only has chicken (no onion or garlic ingredients). Keep in mind that baby food isn't nutritionally complete for a cat, so he needs to be getting some calories from cat food, too. There's also a prescription food you can get from your vet called A/D that's very calorie dense and high fat. It also happens to be stinky and typically pretty appealing to older cats. Also if your cat is only being fed dry food, you should be feeding canned. See the nutrition megathread for the good stuff, but even Fancy Feast is better than nothing for a skinny, picky eater.

My dog has a medium-length two-layer coat and I've noticed that as things warm up she's gotten a bit more lethargic. I was wondering what the consensus was on shaving her down. I know that generally the advice is to do the belly hair first, but she doesn't have much down there naturally, so I don't think it'd do that much. I am a little worried about clipping down all her guard hairs because she loves running through brush and woods, and I want her to have all the protection possible.

I suggested to my husband the other day that we go to the SSPCA, you know, just to look... He responded with "If you bring back a disease on your shoe and get our cats sick, I will kill you." Not wanting an argument or a grumpy husband, I dropped the subject, but it has me wondering. Can you bring home cat diseases on your clothing/skin?

Yea we ended up buying some baby food and are going to ration that in with his normal dry and wet food. The vet ran blood work, he is healthy just old. He also only has like one tooth left so I think he is just having trouble eating cause when he fed him the baby food he ate 2 whole cans! So we might just have to keep him on that with some regular food to make sure he has fiber and stuff so he does not have weird poop. Thanks for the baby good advice. I asked our vet today about it and he thinks wed food/dry food/ and some baby food sounds like a good combo.

If he's only got the one tooth left then dry food straight out of the bag is going to be all but impossible for him to eat. Switch him permanently to straight wet food so that he can eat it better. The plus side is that you don't have to worry about him getting plaque on his teeth since they're all gone!

I already started feeding him wet food 3 times a day even though the younger cats get it once. (He only eats like a 3rd a can at a time, but he will eat 2 baby food cans at a time or at least did last night and this morning.)

I am in the process of training the smarter of my two dogs to stay at 30 feet, or with me outside of the room. Its pretty fun, and it wears him out. After we work at it for awhile he conks out. He is somewhat trained, knows: sit, stay, paw, other paw, lay, off. But yeah he needs some more, how are you going about your training? And just cause PI loves pictures:

I'm leaving on a camping trip for nearly 2 weeks, in 2 weeks, and have ordered an auto fish feeder, but am wondering what to do with my mouse. Do you think it's okay to leave a mouse unattended with tooooooooons of food for 2 weeks? I'm kinda worried about the cage getting really nasty, especially since she tends to eliminate where she eats. I'm trying to find a friend who is actually staying in this college town for the summer, and tolerates rodents, but am coming up kinda empty. I'm considering messaging the girl who I adopted her from in the first place, but would feel kind of out of line asking favors because we didn't know each other before the mouse, and really have no contact other than being facebook friends now.

I have a question: how normal is it to want to throw my puppy in a river? He's eight months old now and just got fixed on Friday and oh my GOD, he's been an rear end in a top hat the past two days. What the hell. Last night I took him for a nice long walk (45 minutes) and then I took him in the backyard to try working on his obediance stuff in a different setting. He did "sit" and "down" and then I tried telling him to stay and he went ape poo poo on me - running around at top speed in a circle. When I tried to make him quit that he got all mouthy on me. GRRR. Puppies are assholes!

I'm kinda frustrated because I don't really know what to expect from him and when to expect it, if you know what I mean. I got him a month+ ago so he was already over six months old but he came from an awful family that didn't teach him much of anything. He knows sit, down, stay, come, leave it, drop it - he's not 100% on any of those though. And he's getting better about not pulling on the leash but I feel like "heel" is beyond him at this point. I just don't know if I'm expecting too much or what.Mostly he's really good. I suppose I won't toss him in the river just yet. If I did I would only jump in right after him and pull him out and kiss his nose anyway.

So I took in a rescue dachshund yesterday at about 7PM. I'm planning on adopting him, but it's just a foster arrangement for the first week or two to make sure he gets along with my first dog. He was abused by his previous owner, so he's still really skittish which I expected but he hasn't eaten, drank or gone to the bathroom in the 16+ hours he's been here. I'm not too worried about the eating or drinking yet, but I've taken him on 4 walks and he hasn't squeezed out a drop yet which does concern me. Do I need to be worried about this, or should I just give him some more time?

A lot of times animals get constipated or are too nervous to do their business. It's only been 16 hours, give it a bit more time. Keep taking him out though so he has the opportunity if he wants too. Watch and make sure he's eating and drinking okay. It's awesome you took on a rescue, I really hope it works out for you guys!

About a month ago, Gilbert puked up some bile (which he had never done before), I noted it and thought if he did it again I would take him in. Well today, he puked up more bile, it was just yellow and it was after he ate (but no food came up). Every now and again he starts hiccuping (or that is what it sounds like) and I pat him on the back and it usually goes away. I am debating on taking him to the vet (likely expensive with blood tests and the like) as he isn't puking bile up all of the time. Anyone have any ideas?

It doesn't seem to bother her, so I've never gone to the vet about it. Now, she does have a tendency to puke more after she's eaten something she shouldn't have (sticks, plastic, etc). Thankfully, she'll throw it up before it gets into her intestines. *knock on wood*

So I gave my 9 year old rat terrier Sergeants gold flea medicine (I'm too poor right now for the good flea medicine) probably six hours ago and she started gagging over and over just an hour later. I've been awake all night with her because she keeps throwing up. I took her outside once and she ate a bunch of grass. A little while later she threw up grass. Now she is still gagging and licking her lips and whining wanting to go outside. I don't want to let her because she'll just end up throwing up more grass. I tried wiping her face with a wet rag but every time she licks a part of her body she just starts gagging again. I'm pretty sure her previous owner (I adopted her two months ago) said she used Sergeants, but maybe she didn't say she used it on my dog. She seems to have stopped throwing up, but is whining a lot now. Is this serious or will she be fine with time? Should I bathe her really well right away or is it okay to leave it on her?

Actually, I just called the Sergeant's emergency line. The lady was very helpful. She said the medicine can make the skin tingly so that's why my dog kept licking herself. She suggested bathing her with dish soap and taking her to the vet if she vomits again. I bathed her and she seems to be a lot more calm. The lady also said to fed her liquid from a can of tuna to get that taste out of her mouth. My dog seemed to like that. So she is doing better now, but so that she doesn't get too dehydrated I'll take her to the vet if she vomits again. Sorry for the freak out post earlier.

Cheap flea treatments like Hartz and Sergeants are horrible and can make animals very ill and have even killed quite a few pets. I'd probably call the e-vet and ask them what you can do and if you should take him in right away. Yeah, it's cheaper flea treatment but you pay more in the long wrong from vet bills.

Is there an ideal height for an elevated feeder? My mom's dog has gas (from both ends, too!), and I've heard this might help her swallow less air. She's a golden retriever, and most of the feeders I see are so low to the ground that it doesn't seem like it would help that much. (She also has food allergies and is on a high quality diet, so I doubt that's the culprit. Or even if it is, we're not changing her food because she has finally stopped chewing her skin off. )

Can anyone recommend good books on dog training? I want to buy and read some before I get a puppy (hopefully June 1st!) so that I can do all the right stuff (crate/clicker etc). Puppy classes will follow of course, but not until after all the vaccines are done, so I'll have a few weeks of doing my own training with the pup, and I've never had to do it before.

My cat had a runny nose this morning and has been sneezing occasionally for possibly longer than two weeks. He seems fine but I know this is rather unusual for my cat considering for the first 16 years I knew him I only saw him sneeze maybe once every few months. I wouldn't concern myself with this at all if he wasn't so old. Should I be concerned? While I'm at it, he is really thin, but I don't think there is much we can do about that at this point.

Usually this is from a virus, but just like human colds it can progress to a bacterial infection, in which case antibiotics might help. You can try waiting it out, but if he's not eating well or seems to not feel good, I'd take him to a vet. They can at least give him something to help with the congestion and his appetite. Also, 16 really isn't that old for a cat. If he is losing weight, that is a symptom of a problem, not just old age. Hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and kidney disease are all VERY common problems in older cats than can make them lose weight. All three are also manageable with medication and home care, so take your cat to a vet and get some labwork done. Please!

He has a kidney problem that gets worse when we treat his hyperthyroidism (something to do with increased blood pressure helping his kidneys function better - otherwise he throws up constantly). And yeah he's about 19 years old, we got him from the vet when he was three.

Now that its warmed up outside, my apartment has had some bug problems. Some ant-like bugs with wings that let them fly short distances. I don't know what they are, but they got in somehow and need to be gotten rid of. I am wondering what the best way to do this is with a cat around. Normally, my apartment complex would just spray a bit of stuff around the floor in corners, but I'm concerned about pesticides hurting the cat. Does anyone know if there any good safe sprays that won't hurt a cat? Failing that, (and this is more an exterminator question than a PI question) does anyone know if there are fast acting sprays that dissipate quickly enough I could get away with leaving my cat with a friend overnight?

I'm having a persistent problem that when I walk my parent's dog, he pulls like mad. He's very strong and about 80 lbs, and I have a very difficult time stopping him. I think it's because my dad usually jogs with him and he's used to going faster. I like to walk at a normal pace, but he wants to go fast. But if I speed up, he speeds up too! I've read everything that says to just stop in your tracks and praise them when they heel or stop pulling or turn to look at you... but he never does. I've tried over and over, every trick they say. I'll stand there and wait and wait, and he just keeps pulling, or at least never takes tension off the leash. He never heels. At best he'll just sit, but the second we start moving again he's back to pulling. If I try to turn around and go the other way, he just pulls in the other direction. He usually ignores treats when we're walking, even if he hasn't had dinner yet and should be hungry, so I have no way to reward him for those brief instances where he's not pulling. I'm at a total loss. My dad insist he walks perfectly for them, but I think in that case my dad is just fast enough to keep up with the pace the dog wants to go. Should I look into prong collars or anything? He starts wheezing he pulls so hard with a normal collar and it worries me. VVV edit: Ooh I totally forgot about those things, thanks. The head collars always looked iffy but that looks like it could work... I'll stop by Petco and see what they have. Customer Service fucked around with this message at 17:03 on May 8, 2009 |

Our last dog pulled something terrible on walks, so we fitted her for an easy walk harness: http://www.buygentleleader.com/View.aspx?page=dogs/products/collars/easywalk/description After a few weeks of wearing it, she was better with a regular collar/leash. If you do go this route, make sure it fits snugly. The functionality will be lost if the harness is loose. Not sure what pet stores you have in your area, but I've seen it at both Petsmart and Petco.
