Hidohebhi posted:TL;DR, My dog's skin has problems, any idea what it might be so we can stop going to the vet every three weeks? There is no way of telling without havening her allergy tested <fast one or two more vet visits> or or an extensive proses of elimination <probably slow and many more vet visits>. I fill for you My sister had a austrailen <sp?> cattle dog that started sneezing her eyes wood swell shut and start to water she was just plain miserable. Good thing half a children's binnadrill helped give her some releaf. Good luck with your girl I hope everything comes out alright.

Lava Lamp Goddess posted:Is there any home-remedy that is good for hairballs? Or is there a particualry good brand of over-the-counter stuff? Have you tried petroleum jelly <aka as Vaseline>? My sister had a cat with that problem and she tried Vaseline on the cat and it worked wonders. The only problem was the cat liked it so much that it figured out how to open the jars. And if the cat isn't taking its vomit meds on its own you can rub it into its fur on its front leg and it will get it when cleans it off.

drat Bananas posted:My friend (and I, and his dog and mouse) are going out of town this weekend and he's setting off a bug bomb ...fogger ...thingy. If he sets it off Friday afternoon and we come back Sunday evening will it be harmful to bring his pets back into the house? I'm worried about the mouse because she's so small... Open all the doors and windows, and let the house air out for a couple of hours when you get back. The mouse should be safe after that.

gyroball posted:My dog got some tar on her paws and belly. I managed to cut off the hair that was tarred and scrub her paws but they're still black and a bit tarry. How worried should I be about her licking the affected area? She hasn't started yet but I'm sure she will... Dawn dish soap is what they use for animals caught in oil spills. I bet that would work pretty good.

allhailshatner posted:My puppy Leia is about 8 months old and she has a big problem being around people she doesn't know. She's amazingly well behaved otherwise and is very obedient. I understand that dogs of this age can be very shy for a number of reasons and she might just grow out of it. She's great around other dogs though and warms up to them pretty quickly. Invite friend over. when friend gets there hand the friend lots of yummy stinky treats (treats are for Leia not the friend). Have friend give Leia yummy stinky treats. Keep doing doing that until Leia realizes that people = yummy stinky treats = good.

Meow Cadet posted:We've noticed that our empty craigslist aquarium has a small crack in the plastic frame, near a top corner. There are no current leaks (we did a 24 hour water test in the bathroom). Is the plastic at the top structural at all? Or is it just to cap off the glass, and give a lip for the lid (I hope). witch way is the crack running? The top plastic is only there to keep the four sides from flopping down when the tank is full of water.

RyanNotBrian posted:Speaking to the breeder of our new toy poodle puppy today, she recommended for toilet training to get a doorbell for the puppy. She told us how to train him to ring the bell when he wants to go outside for toilet. Get one of these, train the dog with it and bring it with you. http://www.gadgetshack.com/wireless-doorbell-buzzer-push-button.html

bewbies posted:My kitten jumped out my open window this afternoon and has been gone for a couple of hours. He goes outside occasionally just on the porch, but today he's nowhere to be found. I'm getting worried. Put his litter box and bed outside so he can find his home by smell. Get a flashlight then go around your neighborhood looking under every car and in every bush. Enlist every kid you see to help you look, an offer of 5 to 10 bucks goes a long way of encouragement for a ten year old. My sisters cat got out and she had to do the same thing. Two days later I came over and took everything out of her garage and found her cat under a book shelf she had stored in there. Moral of the story is the cat might be closer than you think, look everywhere. Get your cat micro chipped if you haven't already. and Good Luck. E. and good on you for not declawing your cat.

Helanna posted:Little question of my own for PI, might be a dumb question but... I think if you brought a change of cloths every day. Just leave the dirty ones tied up in a plastic bag for laundry day. And used a good antimicrobial soap/lotion before you leave. Then you shouldn't have a problem.

Liquid Smoke posted:Would it be too crowded to have a cat in a 675 sq ft apartment? How about 2 cats? You can pile up two or three and maybe even four cats in that size of an apartment if you are willing to put up with the litter boxes. You should have +1 litter boxes to cat ratio. Also cat a cat tree or two ( http://www.armarkat.com/index.php you can get the same ones or ones quite like it off ebay cheaper) plus empty shelves help with acquiring cat piles.

Captain Foxy posted:Can I get some estimates/anecdotes from people who've dealt with ACL surgery in large breed dogs?  Click here for the full 1600x1200 image. His right knee cost my cousin 5k to replace. But that was a total knee replacement. He gets to go back to get his left one done in two months. He is a six year old pure byb rottie. My cousin got him from Chris Byrd. Pore dog just didn't have it in him to do protection work. So Chris got another more aggressive dog and gave Brutis up because the two didn't get along. you can tell from the picture he is more of a lover not a biter. That face is what I get to wake up to whenever I house/dog sit when my cousin has to go out of town.

(for the record my dog is always always always on his leash outdoors. Always.)Arm waving and screaming worked up til tonight when my dog was actively attacked. I'm thinking pepper spray. Thoughts? Yah I carry Pepper spray and a good stick and an extra leash wile walking dogs. Some times it is a little windy to be using pepper spray. I don't want to spray myself trying to protect my dog so the stick comes in handy. And the extra leash is if I can loop it around the other dog and tie it to something so I can get away and get my dog to safety then hunt down the owner of the dog and
