I think my parrot is going to lay an egg soon!

3/8/2011 12:19:04 PM

A fertilized one?

3/8/2011 12:36:26 PM

no, Luke the male hasn't quite figured it out. Not for lack of trying. Plus she bites him whenever he comes near, unless he is feeding her.

3/8/2011 12:45:11 PM

haha one day he'll get it right

3/8/2011 12:45:39 PM

I hope so, I want some baby birds!!

3/8/2011 12:46:08 PM

What kind of parrot is it?

3/8/2011 1:10:56 PM

Awwwwwwwwwww! I'm trying to contain all my cute pup pics to one thread lols


She had her last vet check til spay day and she's 16lbs already! Was 13lbs just two weeks ago!

She is doing super well, eyes are all healed, not pottying inside, knows her name, getting come command, and loves being around us! She follows me all over the house!

3/8/2011 10:52:04 PM

We started training Eva to ring a bell when she needs to go out to pee today. I hope this doesn't backfire

3/9/2011 8:20:25 PM

My sister trained her Cairn to do it. She sometimes rings it just to go outside, but it's pretty easy to tell from her body language if she really has to go or just wants to play.

Anyone tried one of these? I'm tempted to get one to try to reduce the amount of hair all over my house, but $45 is pretty steep for a fancy comb.

3/10/2011 9:54:38 AM

^ My parents use that style of comb on their Spitz and it's great for when she's blowing coat and they want to brush out her undercoat. They go on sale pretty regularly at Target and Petsmart so I would wait until it's on sale to buy it.

We took Eva to her first puppy class at Petsmart. It was supposed to be three dogs in the class but one didn't show up. So it was her and this cute German Shepherd.

So far Eva is the smartest one in the class Turned out I had already started training her a little on the two main things for the first class, sit and leave it. Jackie said she was impressed that Eva had already started generalizing leave it, which I totally didn't do on my own so she must be a pretty smart dog

Anyone experienced cedar allergies with dog? Anyone recommend a good bed alternative?

3/12/2011 5:49:44 PM

^^^ The best investment I have ever made was the $4 knock off wal mart version of the deshedding brush. The $20-40 ones were beside it and I got the $4 one and it works wonders. I have a long hair Siberian husky who pretty much sheds non stop and that brush takes off so much hair its not funny.

THEY RULE. they do go on sale often and they have the knockoffs at target. BEST investment ever. they work so so so so well. for cats and dogs (at least in my experience anyway)

but i got mine on amazon for like $10. so watch for the sales.

3/12/2011 6:21:31 PM

shit after last night I'm surprised I forgot to ask about this


where is the best 24 hour emergency pet clinic, preferably close to campus


google last night turned up a bunch of voice mails and shit

but after watching my neighbor freak out and try and figure out where to go for her dying cat for 20 minutes...

I would rather know that immediately

[Edited on March 16, 2011 at 2:27 AM. Reason : thanks number saved, its a big school though]

3/16/2011 2:26:31 AM

turn into the vet school from hillsborough, go down a ways, parking lot is on your right. small animal hospital is the door farthest to your right. you should call ahead though.

^ um. so cute!!!!!


kitty has to go to the vet

kitty has gained like 2-3 lbs in a very short period of time. i don't know why, she isn't eating more. she has always been slightly overweight and lazy BUT i mean 2-3lbs is a pretty significant weight gain when you only weigh 12lbs to begin with. so i'm taking her ass in. any thoughts on what it could be?

i hope she doesn't have like, thyroid cancer or something. or diabetes. i guess diabetes is better than cancer but not really. i changed her food recently, she LOVES IT...maybe she is eating more than usual. i don't really moniter it i free feed her (whoops). i always have but maybe this is like really fatty food and she is just chowing down on it or something. she is 5 years old.

3/27/2011 8:58:18 PM

If you changed foods it's likely that is the culprit.

When I changed my cats to a food with no corn, wheat, or soy, the idea was they would lose weight and their dandruff. Well the dandruff is gone but they like the food so much they eat the hell out of it and whine incessantly for more so now they're fatties. Oops

3/28/2011 9:10:37 AM

My baby, a 16 lb tabby 7 years old, is currently at the vet getting tests done. The vet thinks he's in the early stages of heart disease, that he has feline hypertropic cardiomyopathy, and that it might be treatable with meds.

He's my little guy and I can't believe he's going through this. I only took him to the vet because he had diarrhea.

wet food. give your cat 1-2 cans of wet food a week. you can mix up half a can in with a little bit of dry food a couple of times throughout the week. my vet told me to do that with my cat (he's a fatty) because cats are carnivores so feeding them the carb-heavy dry foods only makes them over weight.

3/28/2011 12:59:09 PM

I tried feeding my cats canned food and they will not eat it. They act like it's poison. I've tried different brands, flavors, mixing with their dry food, to no avail. Hell they're not even interested in people food most days. They're weird

3/28/2011 1:38:59 PM

^^ does that actually work? I don't like feeding wet food because it's worse on the teeth, but if it'll help my cat not be such a lard I would consider it.

I have heard of using fresh food rather than cat food, but not using canned cat food. I talked to a lady who owns a cat rescue facility and she basically said once they are ever starved and that mindset sets in they will be fat forever because they will constantly eat as much as they can.

friends dog ran away for 6 days. just came back. little kick-dog mutt type. I thought it was eaten by a Coyote or something (she lives on lake johnson)

3/28/2011 2:40:44 PM

Thanks goldengirl, she's adorable, i love her to pieces!

Here she is sitting on my dog hahaha, crappy iphone pic

3/28/2011 3:19:48 PM

I heard it's a myth about canned food causing bad teeth. Like if you only feed canned maybe, but as part of an overall diet is fine. If my cats weren't such freaks I'd consider putting them on a raw diet. But they won't even touched cooked meat.

omg! i never saw this. thanks for the tip. my cat LOVES wet food but i rarely give it to her because i figured it was worse for her. i mean i put no thought into drawing that conclusion other than she thinks it is a gourmet treat so i figured it was like, junk food for people. but that is totally good to know. she'll love having wet food added to the dry food more often than i've been giving it to her.

THANKS

Growing up to be a big girl. Bathing in the tub is a thing of the past since she doesn't fit under the faucet anymore. sniff sniff

4/16/2011 1:51:19 PM

Ok guys, I need your help. My little dog, lovingly referred to as Asshole, hasn't eaten in almost a week. I went to Raleigh last weekend and he wouldn't eat, I thought it was excitement. He MAY have eaten my mother's dog food and I know she gave him a pig's ear, which he's never had before.

He has no interest in food, treats, I even poured tuna juice on his kibble and he just licked the tuna off the food then spit it out. After he ate the tuna he had diarrhea and there was like a greenish liquid in it? I haven't seen any other poop though.

He's also acting way lethargic. Sleeping all the time, not playing with the pup, chasing after the ball, nothing. He's only 6.

What can I do to get him to eat? Canned food? Chicken & rice?

I felt his stomach and there's no protrusion and he didn't scream or whimper as if in pain. What's going onnnnnnnnnnn??

4/29/2011 11:01:12 AM

^ personally I'd take him to the vet. A week without eating is a bad sign. Does he have any sort of treat he'd kill for? My dog it's jerky. Try giving him a tiny bit of whatever his special treat us and see if he even reacts to that.

Our dog graduates from puppy school tomorrow!

4/29/2011 11:14:22 AM

Ummmmmmmmm well I gave him some puppy free time and he's fucking eating her food. It will give him diarrhea but this is the most he's eaten in a looooooooooooooong time.

Maybe the puppy is stressing him out........ I can't believe it though, he wouldn't touch food and JUST NOW he decides to eat. I didn't think it was it cause we separate them when they eat but he's eating now.

4/29/2011 11:17:58 AM

I know cats can go into liver failure after not eating for three days. Not sure about dogs though. Please take him to the vet.

4/29/2011 11:24:00 AM

Why does the puppy food cause a reaction? Allergies? It might be a good idea to get them both on the same type of food if he's doing that. But really I think you should talk to a vet.

4/29/2011 11:29:09 AM

I think it's allergies. He got diarrhea last time he ate her food and most of his entire life when it was high quality food. I did some research and papillons can have terrible reactions to high quality food so I switched him to beneful and he never had an issue since.

I don't want them on the same food because I'd RATHER feed them quality food but since he can't handle I don't want the golden to eat crappy food just so they eat the same thing. Besides, goldens need to eat at specific times of day or they will overeat (she will eat ANYTHING) so separating them isn't an issue.

I've called the vet, we'll see what's up.

4/29/2011 11:31:48 AM

do want puppy.

4/29/2011 11:35:50 AM

I'd try going to Unleashed and taking to them. Bring the ingredient list from Beneful with you. They are doggie allergy geniuses

4/29/2011 11:38:35 AM

He has a vat appt @2. I hate I waited this long but I'm between jobs and freaking broke. They're willing to work with me financially since they loooooooooove Caesar and we've been good clients with them.

He even turned down peanut butter.

4/29/2011 12:43:05 PM

They're doing bloodwork on him and will give me a call. Said he was def thin and his gums a little pale but if his bloodwork comes back ok they're gonna give him antibiotics. Hope he's alright.

4/29/2011 2:38:13 PM
