Vaccination Time...

mpvanwagner @mpvanwagner (165) • United States 16 Jan 07

I am sure a lot of you probably vaccinate your children, however, I have chosen not too. I get a lot of crap every time I go to a doctor, and have even heard people remark that they would not let their kids hang out with mine. My...

Hey everyone! My family and I are at the end of our rope, as is the rest of the neighborhood. Our next door neighbors have been running what can only be described as a puppy mill for the last 6 months to 1 year. They cram their...

StarSpottedHorse If you have a video camera, I would tape what is going on as much as possible. Do you have a local TV station - call them and have them come out. Are they breeding certain breeds - call that club and report them. In fact have all the neighbors call and...

Dog does not bark

My Hunny Doggie is an Austrilan Cattle Dog. She will groan and whine and make a few other noises but she has never barked. Is this breed known to never bark?

StarSpottedHorse Australian Cattle dogs do bark. Some bark quite a lot. Best friend has one who barks while playing. Others I have seen bark while hearding herding horses or when they were shut up FOR herding horses.

StarSpottedHorse Most cities have spay/neuter clinics where you can get spaying done much cheaper than a vet. Also in my city, we have organizations that help with that cost also. I only paid $ 10 for spay cats. These are funds either started by individuals or groups...

StarSpottedHorse "Standard" breeds did not evolve from "Hybred" of something else. Most breeds from 20 - 30 years ago came from careful breeding of dogs that served a particular purpose. Yes, in caveman days, who knows what type of dogs were around. But over the centuries,...

Why do some cat owners think it's ok for your cats to pee and poo in my garden??

bonbon664 @bonbon664 (3466) • Canada 7 Jan 07

Why do some of you cat owners out there think it's ok to let them poo and pee in my garden?? There's nothing worse than coming across one of the buried treasures one of your little darlings has left for me. I don't get it.

StarSpottedHorse I have six cats that go outside during day. Fortunately we have lots of woods in back and they usually go there or in "my" garden. But I understand and am sympathic to your problem. My neighbor bought a new, very expensive car and expressed concern about...

StarSpottedHorse In every breed there are individuals that are highly intellegent. But the Border Collie is over-all the most intellegent. Poodles are also on the list, top 5 I think. Not the tiny ones that have been sooo messed up by in-breeding, cross breeding. But the...

injections for floppy ears in dogs

soft_rain5649 @soft_rain5649 (4) 8 Jun 06

My dog, a Collie/Shepherd, 1 1/2 years has floppy ears. I've read about a veterinarian in Brazil, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3923099.stm He does injections to help ears stand up. Do you know of any one that does this in...

StarSpottedHorse Is there a reason you want your dogs ears to stand up? Whether a dogs ears stand up or hang down has no bearing what-so-ever on their hearing. So do not do it because you think they will hear better. Do you want to make him/her look mean/bad? I would think...

what care should be taken to a newly born puppy, is it fine to separate its mother from it so early

3 responses

StarSpottedHorse Why would you separate a puppy from the mother? Unless the mother is dead, sick and having an operation, etc. I can not think of why you would want to. I personally believe pups and kittens should stay with the mother until at least 9-10 weeks old. Any...

StarSpottedHorse Since you just adopted her, do you know if she had puppies before? It may be that if she did, she or they were mistreated. Not all animal mothers are aggressive after giving birth. I do not think it is just a Border collie thing either. But Border...

StarSpottedHorse Obviously, you have never had a rabbit, parrot, cow or any other animal; love it or had them love you back. That is very sad. All things are capable of love.
