  2. New kitten help

    in The Off Topic Fishroom

    Posted

    I got a rescue kitten when she was just 8 weeks old, she was found and hand raised from 4 weeks, so had very little time with mum. I had exactly the same problem as you do, with her peeing on beds, and rugs on the floor. You must keep the litter tray (s) spotless. I found putting vinegar or lemon juice on spots was a good way of discouraging using that spot again, and to mask odour.

    Good luck and dont give up, it took my kitten until she was at least 6months to grow out of this.

    Came home, looked at tank and thought what the .. :-? . is that on the filter inlet??? Turns out 2 of my angels have paired and are busy at it! 8) ! Just had to share, dont hold much hope of them surviving, but cool to come home to after a fairly crappy day at work.

    400 lt tank, 10 gold marble angels and 4 platnium

  8. Any safe mosquito repellents?

    Is there any safe mosquito repellents that i can use in the house with fish tanks?? Automatic sprays, plug in day and night thingies?? etc...

    Am being driven insane by being constantly bitten by mossies (apparently i'm quite tasty! :o ). I dont like the idea of breathing in insecticides :evil: so any other alternative would be good too!

  13. Rare medical conditions

    Thanks for all the advice everyone. :wink: I do hope i dont have every man and his dog trying to guess what i have (my little bro, now 15, had to have spinal surgery about 18 months ago and at the specialist app at starship they brought in all the trainiees to try and guess his condition). Mum asked me to go with them so that i could ask any questions she forgot, and perhaps remember things she didn't, although she did take notes.

    I will make sure to keep all letters (and envelopes which i hadn't thought about). Trying to think of someone to take with me. My referral to the eye specialist has already gone awol, but my gp (who has no idea about the condition) is on to it.

    Carly...whats your blood type, found out mine is AB- which i understand is also very rare,,,I always knew i was special, guess now i how just how special :lol:

  14. Rare medical conditions

    in The Off Topic Fishroom

    Hi all, after having been recently diagnosed with a rare (1 in 160,000) genetic condition I am courious as to what others may have...or if there is anyone else out there with my condition.

    I will start by describing my condition: it is called pseudoxanthoma elasticum, and as i said is genetically inherited (although i dont know of anyone else in my family who has this). Basically speaking it is a build up of calcium in the elastic fibres (connective tissue) throughout the body. This can lead to vision loss, heart disease (strokes, angina and heart muscle disease). There is no real preventative treatment available, although i understand if problems arise they may be treated, but i dont know this for sure yet.

    I have specialist appointments set up (welcome me to the public health system) but am wondering if anyone has any advice on dealing with doctors etc?
