Tuesday: YES YES YES

it can kill cats and dogs
it's like poison

srnity:

thanks. its my guess that it will jst come down to whether or not his body can fight the sickness on its own or not. he does seem to be more active now. my mom claims he is just depressed, but then again she never even looks at him. the last time she paid attention to the birds was 3 months ago.

anastasia: Bear is mainly an inside dog and he has that many toys my lounge looks as tho I have half a dozen kids LOL...he loves to play. He also has his "outside" toys...chewed up old bones, rubber toys that dont get affected by the weather, and SOME plastic containers (like ice cream)...he loves to run around with them in his mouth....toys are very important to any animal, keeps them occupied, and help stop the "IM bored" barking type thingy LOL

Tuesday: do you have toys for him too? You're right,it may be stimulation that he needs..I was surpried when I saw that marble thing...it was on a show on the animal planet channel...the guy did it over the time if a couple of weeks...be consistant though,I did notice that about it and sure enough..it worked...I think the show was animal U...check it out,ALOT of helpful stuff on it!!

Well,I just couldn't stand it when Patch left us..we were both there and I held him and layed on the floor with him even after he was gone.I was so sad and always thought that after he had gone,I would at least take a break from animals BUUUT,I was SO lost without him,that I told my husband that I needed another one...SOON! So,yesterday we went and bought a german shepard pup....6 weeks old.OMG! Is he ever cute..He will NEVER EVER be Patch,God knows he was one of a kind,but this one sure does have my heart!After I get things caught up..I will get Patches and the new one...his name is Damien..get their pics up so you guys can see them.Thanks for all the kind words and support!

Tuesday: One good way to get him to stop barking is to fill a small can with marbles or something and then when he starts barking shake it and yell no at him...you should really hit an animal because honstly they don't understand hitting.Saw the demo of the can thing and it worked

Tuesday: Our dog tobby use to be like that with it's old owner till the old owner didn't want it no more.

The Hunter: Sorry to hear that it's all depending on money, and I say this as a person who lives from paycheck to paycheck - for "Big Poppa" (my ferret) the most expensive part was the diagnosis, with exotic pets they have to be REALLY careful - i.e. they had to put him under just to do tests on him (their organs, veins, etc. are SO small) BUT once they knew what it was, it was more time-consuming for us than anything else - if you do wind up going to a vet, make it a bird vet, that way they'll know what their doing...good luck to you and Joey :)

Fwiffo: Kipling's right, you could possibly put in a "nuisance barking" complaint - there are laws governing how much noise, how loud, and for how long you have to deal with it - you should call either the police or an animal agency (SPCA or ?) - HOURS of anything is TOO long...especially at 7am...If you go the stereo route, go ALL out, place the speaker-front on the floor, make sure it's over their bedroom, and play some Korn, Slipknot or Ozzie (I have teenagers) - maybe they'll take the hint :)

Tuesday:

Fwiffo: try calling law enforcement. disturbing the peace. if that doesnt work...figure out when your neighbors sleep. as they are sleeping turn your stereo up very very loud.

Thanks for the reactions, Tuesday and srnity!

Tuesday: The reason seems to be the departure of the owners: when they go to work, the dog barks, for instance from 7.30 - 12:00.

srnity: We actually did put a note in their mailbox, which led to a discussion with them at the housing association. The neighbours totally refused to do anything about it...

Ear-plugs don't help enough, we probably have to move... yesterday I had to work till 0:00, was home at 1:00, asleep at 1:30 and waking up again at 7.15 because of that dog!

srnity:

I doubt my parents would be willing to pay a single dime. "too many bills" is their excuse. my my mom said if a vet is needed she'd rather just open the door and let him fly away...I care about those birds and I hate not being able to do anything for them...My nephew loves those birds ore than I do...he is the only one the birds trust. whenever a pet became an inconvienience they got rid of them. maybe if I could just find out what is wrong with joey then...maybe I could convince them to take them to a vet.

The Hunter:Maybe you could call around and find an Aviary (bird) Vet that will let you make payments?? I have an old-man ferret that suffered double-renal (kidney) failure six months ago and was blessed to find a ferret doc that truly cared and did it as cheaply as possible but please know we had to give him IV's and meds at home to keep the cost down - but if your willing to try, somebody will help you, especially a specialist, they really love what they do and know more than your average Vet when it comes to a specific species - wish you well...

I just found ut that zoey has diarreah(sp?) I was playing with her and asked "whats wrong?" she answered by looking at me and....you know....then proceeded to make a kind of laughing sound. so...yea.

they are both around 3 or 4 years old(in human years, dunno animal years) He seems to be getting a little better, he started to flap his wings again, though not as fast as normally. Zoey still seems to be fine. She even learned to eat some of the seeds as if she were holding a candy bar. I'll ceck out that link right now. and thanks for that scarlet rose. appreciate it. we also can't really aford a vet at this time though =( to many bills. if it were up to me he'd already be at the vet...

The Hunter: http://www.cockatiels.org/articles/vet/illness.html

The Hunter: sorry to here about Joey! He does sound quite poorly :o( I have had a couple of cockateils in the past......I would strongly recommend you see a vet.....he could have something that may infect your other bird.

Put a "nice" note under their door letting them know that their dog is constantly waking you up, and if that doesn't work, do it again...I live in an apartment complex with dogs, dogs, and more dogs (and have one also) but sometimes people don't realize their pet's a problem till you tell them - the guy that lives above us was keeping his "big" dogs caged for hours on end so all they did was bark and howl incessantly - after my third note, he did something different, they still go at it, but much less frequent - worth a try...

The Hunter: I hope you don't mind.. but, I went ahead and emailed a couple who I am friends with reqarding your sick bird.. they raised cockatiels and sold them as well.. she also has a kewl Parrot. I will let you know when I get a responce.. good luck with your lil one!

Our neighbours downfloor have a loud-barking dog, waking us up every morning when we should still be asleep. Who has a good idea how to silence the dog without poison? (We are not on speaking terms with the neighbours)

<my mom has a cokatale(sp?) named joey. he is all white andhas a yellow head. as a bird...he isn't very well coardinated. he falls off of pearches so often its amazing he isn't dead... he also seems to take his time from getting around the cage(I think he is scared of falling o_o)

anyway...the other day, joey was just standing on the bottom of the cage, right in the center doig nothing at all. usually he is either eating are gaurding those eggs they have from my dad.(>_>;) but not this time. it was like he had no desire to do a thing. he wouldn't eat or drink water. his cherps...usually loud...are now a tiny squeek. even when he bites your finger...he is usually quite strong...but not now. my dad took him ou of his cage to check him and the feathers around his rear end are all green. he eats now but just very little, and noting big. he hasn't drunk water(from what i've seen). whats wrog wit him?

Zoey, the grey and whte one is perfectly fine.(to be honest, she is the exact opposit of joey) she climbs the cage so fast its unbelievable. she jumps from one end to the other with no probem. She also has a mean streak and will attack anyone that gets near her(except joey). when she bites she bites to rip off your nail or skin. and she is in perfect health. they are kinda funny cause joey is usually well behaved and zoey is so aggressive. but yea....I just want to know...what is wrong with joey? (btw, we had them from around 3 or 4 years)

Tuesday: :) things happen for a reason.. I know after I got Idget learning her little personality is so funny... Every morning she goes runny into the main house.. bounces on my sons bed to wake him.. then into my parents room.. and bounces on their bed.. as if they didn't have any dogs of their own.. Idget is maybe 5 lbs tops.. while my fathers pups a retriever cross.. so they are fairly large dogs (not even guessing on the weight).. it is so funny.. and then there is Precious.. the persian grey my father has.. who despises dogs.. especially little ones who wish to play.. she hisses, swats and chases Idget.. LOL It's a riot.. I need to get a new Cam corder.. so I can get this on video..

Tuesday: hahaha.. I was hoping to get at least one litter from her.. but, am really reconsidering that! LOL Is thinking it might just calm her down some!! LOL although little poms would be so kewt.. heck they are tiny to begin with.. I could imagine when they are first born..

Tuesday: yeah.. I worry about that as well.. although, my little pom could be drop kicked by an intruder in a heart beat.. (she definately isn't a dog that will protect me).. more like a little dog that jumps constantly and yaps.. I wanna find her a tutu! LOL
