Would it be safe, to feed an 18 week old chihuahua, peeled baby carrots, or is he still too young? |
| Question found in Dogs In General |
 |
| Bite size will need to be pretty small and they will need to be firm to soft but definitely not too hard. This is only if he seems to like them and you probably don't want him to fill up on them as a substitute for his regular diet. He will let you know. |

I'm having problems with my Bernese mountain dog puppy 5 months old, he is shy, afraid of everything, stares at ceiling, hides in bedroom. I signed him up for puppy school. I would like to know if this is a health issue or just how I should work on this so he doesn't stress out? thanks |

This could many things in disguise. If you have had him for a short time he may be just trying to cope with his environment. If he has been checked out by your vet and shows no mental or physical problems, he should get better. Make sure he can see well because of the staring at the ceiling habit. These dogs need open area because of their breed. If he is hiding and shy it may be that something has shocked him such as a backfire from a car, a falling object, too noisy of an environment, too many people handling him, etc. Sometimes if you quietly introduce him to your daily routine, (close the bedroom door so he can't retreat so easily), let him watch you and don't look at him in the eyes too much, he will gain his confidence. Walk him if you can and you will see the harmony eventually. Turn your back to him and let him observe and approach you while you are working on the computer for example. A couple of weeks of this will bring him around. I'm not certain he is going to be ready for puppy school just yet. If you got the runt of the litter, these are generally the best choice, in my opinion, but the elder siblings may have treated him unkindly because of their dominant size and rank within the pack. He may shrink into a corner and turn away from you but in time he will understand that you are here to help and pose no threat to him. My experience with a specific breed has helped much in a situation such as this. The dog I helped through this trying time was the best dog I have ever had and the closest to my heart and it only happens once in a lifetime........as far as what I've experienced. Good luck. |

I am new to computing and am struggling to get my head around the overall concept of bits, bytes, processing speeds, modems, internet etc etc as nothing is really tangible. Can anyone provide an analogy of computers and how the internet works which would make it easier to understand? |

OK, the PC is a filing cabinet. The display is a window for many other windows to look at the files. Some of the files are already on your PC and it also can connect to other filing cabinets via the Internet through a modem or local intranet by direct connection and wireless devices. Inside the case is a main board which holds your processor, video card, ram, network card, disk controller cards, modem and many other devices, now usually built-in the board to allow for expansion slots for additional cards for future upgrades. The case holds a power supply that sends voltage to the main board, cooling fans and the individual disk drives. There are other ports built in on the board also for bi-directional data such as a camera, keyboard, printer, mouse and so on. These are user interfaces commonly known as USB or serial and parallel ports now. The processor speed is bottle necked by the amount of RAM and disk speed and size, so if the RAM is higher, the faster the overall speed to keep up with user input, or programs. This allows you to multitask at a more comfortable speed. The modem or router, depending on the speed will also bottleneck since the processor is usually faster than anything else thus, you sometimes wait for a page to load while online. Other factors will be the server capabilities your PC is connected to or other programs running in the background on your PC usually reflected in the task-bar on your display. The web is truly what it says it is. A connection goes down in one direction, the Telco will have an alternate route because everything has redundancy inside the communications network. Just like a spider web where everything connects in one location or another. |

Please give advice on How to deal with a daughter-n-law that lies and causes division within the family. |
| Question found in Parenting & Family In General |
|
|
Without knowing more of you situation, the DIL may be getting negative due to a problem she feels is not being addressed. Sometimes we will give the impression without knowing it, a less accepting atmosphere toward people we perceive as outsiders of the family. She is family now and you have to teach her by your actions that you accept the fact and let her know you feel this way. If you can find out what is eating at her, let her know in a kind way that you will help but wont tolerate intentional division created within the family, then the healing will begin. Some people take this approach as being hostile but that will depend the way you handle the situation. Be up front with her, let her know you accept her as she is and that you wish to be treated the same. Assuming and knowing someone is telling a lie is all in how you receive your information. You can start with the source of the information, decide on how it was passed down to you and see that mostly, by accident, the information was presented to you in an unreliable manner. We tend to assume it is a lie and hold it against the person we think told it. Get your facts straight first from the horses mouth. "He said, she said" won't work if you believe everything you are told. Good luck to you. |

I have recently bled the braking system on my Rover Mini, immediately following this the brake pedal is hard but after a short drive the brakes are soft and spongy. Am I doing something wrong? |
| Question found in Auto Repair |
|
|
This isn't a foolproof solution but you can try finding a straight road and at a slow speed and very carefully you could hit the brakes while letting the steering wheel go to see if either of the front wheels pull to one side. The weaker side is an indication of where the problem lies. This would give you a general idea for the process of elimination. Spongy brakes seem to typically indicate that air remains in the brake system although you have bled them. Sometimes you have to bleed off large amounts of fluid to be certain the air got out and it is a challenge to do this without at least one more person to help pump the brakes. Did you begin the bleeding from your farthest wheel from the master cylinder, then the next farthest on down? It usually goes RR, LR, RF and last but not least LF. Good luck. |

My cocker spaniel is unwell, she will not go out to do the toilet and she has discomfort at her rear. She is shaking all the time and her breathing is laboured what should I do as our local vet is closed? |
| Question found in Dogs In General |
|

I don't mean to alarm you but if she is very old and can't make it onto her rear paws on her own it is very serious. I am making this assumption due to the limited details of your question as well as my not seeing the dog in person and I am also assuming the dog is soiling herself and dragging her hind legs and rear body while showing symptoms of partial paralysis. If this is correct, contact the animal hospital emergency number listed in your phone book. There may be only limited solutions they can provide and it's hard for an elderly dog to go thru if it even will work. The other alternative is to end the suffering but be sure the vet checks her first before making your decision. When I face an emergency like this and the vet isn't available I call the nearest animal hospital emergency number and they contact the doc on call nearest to you. It usually means they will open the door for you in an emergency even if the sign says they are closed. Try that and see what you can do to comfort the dog the best you can until your vet returns your call. There is only one other thing I can think of if she hasn't had a stroke and that is she may be in labor. Be prepared for bad news just in case. I am truly sorry to cause alarm here if this is not the case and if it is, I am also very sorry for what you and your dog are going thru. |

This isn't more personal as it is about me inquiring about a friend. Ever since I've known him, he has always loved various mental things, such as what makes people tick and how to manipulate them. A month ago his girlfriend broke up with him, who was also a good friend of mine. He went into a depression and received some medicine for it. He had a bad reaction, but he was taken off of it. Ever since then he has been constantly trying to enter that state again, but its extremely noticeable that hes faking it. He has gone so far as to say that he is going to kill himself, though he hasn't had any real attempts, and has been vocal about it (Often telling the ex about it and then giving her an ample amount of time to warn his parents so he doesn't go through with it). He blames this on now being a Delusional Schizophrenic. This lead to him being taken away. Myself and the ex had no idea where he was taken to, but in 4 days time, he returned and told her he was at an Asylum. He supposedly is now alright, but is suffering from seizures that last roughly 20 seconds. So my question is, is it possible for one to return to society after 4 days in an asylum, in the state that he is currently in? |

The guy sounds intelligent but his "allergic reaction" was more likely an accidental overdose. A person will cry wolf only so many times until he eventually will follow through and succeed with an intentional overdose or something close to it. He is certainly in despair and he is trying to get back to normal but there is something hidden such as the seizures, pain, other drugs, alcohol, (which you do not use under the meds) and the "seemingly fake" personalty created by the medication he is on. Most anti-depressants will create suicidal thoughts in an otherwise rational person when not kept in very strict check by two important people, a psychologist and a very good physician. The AD drugs are also prescribed to control seizures, I do not know why that is but it is fact. He may have been admitted to a local hospital into the psychiatric ward for 3 days monitoring. This flushes the drugs from the overdose out and keeps him at bay until it is safe for him to return home. I'm not a psychologist but I do certainly know these symptoms and their behavioral patterns in people as you described. He does need help and someone will eventually need to step in, a professional, of course, to help him overcome these obstacles he is hiding, in which he is not faking. He's in serious trouble and he can't stop. Good luck. |

Hi, Has someone stole my mobile phone or have I misplaced it in my home?? |
| Question found in Mysteries & Enigmas |
|
|
If you suspect the phone is being used by someone else, try contacting the phone company and ask them to find out if any calls were made from your number since you've discovered it missing. If so, then report it stolen so it can be shut off. They will also be able to tell you when and where the last call was made by you and it will help you eliminate the last places you have been with it in hand and could actually trigger your memory into recall as to just where you left it. |
