How To Stop A Dog From Peeing In The House?

Alan — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:24:30 +0000

I have a black lab who is about 10 years old, great health, and very active. The only problem is that she pees in the house; she was diagnosed with having a weak bladder, as many older dogs have. She was given medication for it, but it doesn’t seem to help. The peeing happens pretty randomly, mostly when shes lying down and it happens at least more than once a day. Does anyone know of any foods or other medications that could help cure this? Any ideas? Thanks!

How Do I Stop My Mom From Over-feeding My Cats?

Alan — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 13:23:54 +0000

Sorry, this is going to be really long, but I need to include all the info in order to get an accurate answer…
Okay, so:
She refuses to let me manage my two cats’ food, because she says that the cats ‘always look so starving’ in the morning, and meow and bug her. They are both under a year old.
I know all too well how to properly care for and feed my cats, but she insists that she control the ‘downstairs’ food. (We have two sets of food and water bowls, one upstairs in my bedroom, and one downstairs. They are fed mainly dry food.)
My problems with her feeding:
1) She continues to give them wet food after I, backed up by our vet, told her that they should be weened off of it, and onto dry only for a while. She tells me that they get only 1/4 of a can per cat each morning, yet I see tons and tons of cat food cans coming in when the grocery shopping is done without my knowledge.
2) She gives them handfulls of treats at a time. Not just one at a time, either. She throws a handfull of treats on the floor and just lets them gobble it up. To me, that’s completely unhealthy, and completely against the whole point of a ‘treat’.
3) She puts WAY too much food in their dry food bowl, and lets it sit out all day long. Almost every single time I check it each day, it’s still overflowing. Yet my cats are nowhere near skinny, so it’s not an issue with their appetites. I constantly tell her to cut it back, and yet it’s still a massive amount.
4) She gives them people-food, even when I tell her not to, or when I tell her to give them just a tiny, tiny peice. I also give them tiny amounts of my own food (a lick of plain vanilla ice cream off of my pinky finger, or a microscopic chunk of cheddar cheese), so I need to know that they aren’t getting extra snacks elsewhere.
I have talked to her endlessly about this, and she won’t give in. She knows all the consequences, and all the health risks.
What can I do to get the point across, and to get her to either let me take total control of the feedings, or have her doing them properly??

How To Help Stop Bleeding After Cats Tooth Loss?

Alan — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 07:13:40 +0000

My cat lost a tooth several weeks ago and has been taking medicine, drops, flushes, rinses, etc…to take care of it. The problem is (and the vet is aware) that his mouth bleeds regularly every day from the hole in his mouth. We can’t feed him dry food because it hurts him, we can’t feed him wet food because it gets stuck in the hole and further complicates matters. The cat is dangerously skinny as it is and I just want to either stop the bleeding and/or find a better diet that can keep him in better health. Any suggestions?

How Do I Get This Kitten To Stop Biting?

Alan — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 19:13:51 +0000

I have just welcomed a new kitten into my home, he was born on April 2nd so that makes him about 12/13 weeks old. 95% of the time this cat is the most cuddly animal in the universe, but 5% of the time he wants to play, but he plays really rough. I know he’s just a kitten and is only learning his hunting and fighting skills, but he has drawn blood a great many times. I don’t believe in de-clawing, (let’s call it what it really is, amputating), cats and besides the problem that concerns me most is the biting. He bit my home health care worker last week and drew blood. I am disabled and have already grown really attached to this cat since I am stuck in the house almost every waking moment and he is my constant companion. So, how do I help him learn to not bite and to keep the claws in? I don’t want to spank him or spray him with water. Any suggestions?

How Can I Get One Of Our Cats To Stop Vacuum-eating?

Alan — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 01:24:09 +0000

My roommate and I have cats – one is mine and one is hers. My cat has always just eaten whenever he feels like it, and only a few bites. He is slim and in good health. My roommate’s cat is very overweight, and whenever there is food available he shovels it in with huge gulps. After doing this, he almost always throws up, then goes right back to do it again. It’s disgusting! My problem is that I can’t leave food for MY cat out, else the other one eats it all, leaving my cat with no food. I am having to shut my roommate’s cat out of the room which forces my cat only to eat when I can do that. And when I shut the other cat out of the room, he knows my cat is eating and he retaliates by shredding the furniture or spraying.
How do I stop this other cat from eating so much in such a short amount of time and/or retaliating when he can’t get to the food?

How To Stop My Cats From Meowing For Food?

Alan — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 13:13:42 +0000

Short situation here.
I feed my cats (I have 3) twice a day regularly. But they have started to get the idea that they will meow and meow and meow to get my attention and give them food. This wouldn’t bug me so much, but they’ve started bugging me 3 hours or so before their feeding time. It’s ridiculous!
All of the cats are healthy, and lack of food is by no means a problem. All cats are indoor, and they’ve had all their shots, so I’m sure it’s not a health issue. And I can’t ignore it, because they will continue to pester me all day, and that really isn’t fair to them. Problem is though, by feeding them, it seems like I’m “encouraging” the bad behaviour.
My first instinct was to get out the squirt bottle (since cats don’t like water) but I don’t want to negativly reinforce someting. I just want them to wait for their food instead of bugging everyone who walks downstairs.

How Do I Stop My Dog From Being Aggressive With Me?

Alan — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:19:42 +0000

I have 2 German Shepherds that I care for daily, while my husband is at work. They are purebreds, father and son. They are loved, fed, walked, and both given the same affection from me. During the daytime, I have no problems with either dog, but when my husband comes home, the elder dog becomes very aggressive towards me…teeth showing, hackles up, and barking at me, while crouched on his back haunches, like he’s ready to pounce. My husband doesn’t seem to bother stopping it, and I’ve tried everything, but nothing works. It’s getting to the point where I am afraid to come down the stairs in the morning, and this daily terror is getting to my health. Anyone have any suggestions? This dog was imported from Australia 2 years ago, and he’s always been rather nervous. I’ll be glad to hear any comments, as I’m starting to really worry here…thank you…SunnyH

How Can I Stop Our Cat From Pooping And Peeing On Our Couch?she Is Annoyed Because We Won’t Let Her Sleep W/us?

Alan — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 07:13:59 +0000

She is in good health. The vet said she is just expressing her anger about not staying with us at night. She started pooping about a year ago, and only recently adding peeing as another way of protesting our sleeping arrangements. I know this for a fact cause she peeped on the couch last night right after I “put her to bed” in the living room I forget something and went out a couple of minutes later. We put a tarp on the couch every night before we go to bed and she goes there. I have to clean it every morning when I get up. She uses her two boxes regularly. Litter is clean and fresh, so no problem with that. I have tried everything, food where she normally goes on the couch, spraying with deterrent spray etc. I am at the end of my rope. I’m considering putting up baby gates to keep her out the living room or leaving out her cat carrier. She hates the carrier and hides whenever she sees it. I don’t want to discipline by scaring her. What can I do? I am at the end of my rope.
Thanks,
Sandra
