My rat's name is Will:

My min pin's name is Grace

Here they are together:

Will is a humane society rescue and Grace was given to me by her breeder when she was 11 weeks old. She is now 8 months old. They are about the same size. He weighs 11 pounds and she weighs 10. They get along very well.

Sort by:Oldest

we have a squirrel in our wall we live in austin texas and two nights ago we herd a scratching in our closet we went to go check it out and there was a small hole in the wall. today we heard it again so we went back to where we covered it up with duck tape and a big piece of metal and there was a big hole and we could only see two squirrels. we live in texas so we like to hunt we shot the squirrels with a bb gun and it turns out there are four. so we shot again and again and we killed the mother and one baby so the father and other baby are some where else in the wall so now we dont know what to do. should we fumigate them or wait till they come back and then shoot them

Rat Poison
Q
Comments (6)
The rat poison contains warfarin, which prevents the clotting of blood and makes them thirsty. Rat Poison: When a dog weakens gradually, that is not suddenly, a sanguine salivation comes out of his mouth, and his urine and feces also have some blood, it could be a poisoning by Dicumarol (a rats killer) produced from 3 to 5 days before. Dicumarol is a substance that inhibits coagulation, which makes rats, and unfortunately other animals, to bleed to excess even because of small wounds. Dogs are directly intoxicated or by eating an intoxicated rat. The vet has an special antidote (vitamin K) that must be injected several days on a row. If applied on time, cure hopes are good. If the dog loses lots of hair, occasionally vomits or suffers from diarrhea or a cutaneous eruption, the cause could be some other rats killer, thallium. This is an insidious poison, because of its slow manifestations, so when the dog is taken to the vet is too late. There are special antidotes. Treatment could be also very slow.

Min-Pin w/liver problem .....
Q
Comments (2)
Thank you so much for the info.! I noticed that some of the ingredients are what I have taken in the past also! 'Bambi' has had her first pill.... oh, what a battle?!! She would suck off the cheese we wrapped the pill in & then spit it out! The other dogs were watching (yes, those Min-Pins do smile,,, they taught the Shepherd to do so also but her big 'smile' can be misinterpreted by strangers!!!) so it helped as she was aware they would take her discards so she finally swallowed it. She is now on I/D liver diet canned dogfood also. We have a older married couple who are both Veterinarians that have a clinic near us & they don't push what they know are our circumstances with all of our rescue dogs... esp. as they are nearing their breed's life expectancy & aren't suffering. All the dogs are/ were on dry kibbled Alpo 'Come & Get It' ... get 40 lb. bag at Sam's. Purina always gave our Shepherds diarrhea! Appreciate your response ... thanks again!

Rats and climbing roses
Q

Yes, an exterminator told me to keep all tall trees and foliage away from the house as it enables rodents to gain entry to the roof. We bought this house 6 mths ago. The first thing i did was to cut down a bougainvillea that the previous owner had painstakingly grown to cover the pergola that runs along the front of the house. Im going to put my climbers along the fence. What i have done is to order artificial foliage panels to put up across the rafters for shade in Summer then i will take them down when the weather cools off until i think of a more permanent solution.

Thanks ladies. They are a lot of fun. Grace just finished her Senior Puppy obedience course and she did very well. Will is very obedient...NOW, but he got asked to leave 2 different obedience courses because he was dog agressive. He seemed to change for the better once we got Grace. They will sometimes even chew on the same rawhide at the same time. Other times they'll growl and want the other dog to go away! I can take the rawhide, or whatever, away from either one at any time...so THAT'S a good thing! ;)

How sweet they are! Did Grace get her fashion style from you? Love that necklace. How old is Will? Thanks for the smile.

Kelly, I made the necklace for Grace. She has another one that is pink and I really like that one. I like the browns because they look so good with her color.
As for Will, he will be 2 on May 6. He was really a mess when I first got him. Nothing but skin and bones and was very aggressive. He's filled out nicely and is a very sweet dog. Human kindness can do wonders for an abused animal! ;)
