Can I wait one week to get my ferret its vaccinations?

Q. I am getting my first ferret friday from the petstore. I already have all i need for my little buddy. I have been reading online and read i have to get its shots. This brings me to my question...Health wise---Will it be alright if i wait one week (until next friday) to get its shots. If someone could answer asap i would be most grateful.

A. It would be better if you wait on getting the ferret until you have the proper funds to take him to the vet when you get him. Any new animal should be checked out by a vet within 48 hours of bringing him or her home (regardless if they need shots or any other such thing or not at the time).
Keep in mind ferrets are expensive pets as well- They are pretty much guaranteed a medical condition as they get older (generally in the adrenal glands and/or pancreas), and they are well known for getting into trouble that can result in high vet bills (My ferret stopped eating at one point, and I was worried he had eaten something he shouldn't- Vet visit, X-ray, and medicine came out to about $200. He did not have a blockage). If there's any worry about funds, and you can not keep an emergency vet visit fund than a ferret might not be the pet for you.

How to test and restore the health of a pond?

Q. There are a few ponds in my area that have gasoline in them and others that I'm questioning the health of, so I'm wondering if there is a way to test and restore their health. And if so can you please tell me how? Thanks!

A. A good deal of this depends on what part of the country you are in. Though it does sound as if the troubles you are dealing with regarding your ponds is a small version of what is happening in the Gulf -- sadly.

The three sources I would get in touch with are the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), The Nature Conservancy, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The reason I suggest the DNR first is that have more offices that can potentially respond much more quickly than the others.

Here are some quick indicators on the health of a pond (again, where you are is key):

*Number of turtles you can spot on a nice day sunning themselves
*Toads or frogs can be seen, heard, or both
*Active birds (red-wing blackbirds and goldfinches for example) are easy to spot
*Do the cattails around the pond go through a regular cycle
*Does the pond look to have a higher water mark after a heavy rain

What is this error 999 I keep getting as I am trying to ask a very serious question which thank fully I saved?

Q. HOWEVER I cannot seem to post the question in health....I know the Moon is in Gemini but I doubt I will blame transits. Anyone else getting this error 999 BS?

Thank You
Garbo
I posted NO LINK

A. � Error 999 IS a Ban ... a censor tool, used by Yahoo

Help-link:- (( http://www.murraymoffatt.com/software-problem-0011.html )

� Error 999 has been around for years, it is a code big daddy yahoo has in place , a censoring code. A code to stop whatever you are browsing / posting, and answers being a little section of yahoo has inherited the error. If you get this error when trying to answer a question in answers....

� If you have access to your router, get in there, tighten your firewall, drop port scanner access, and drop bogons. Look at your traffic and you will see a lot of data being transferred even when you are doing nothing. Block the IP addresses affected, Check all your PCs for viruses.

� You can do a few things if you are impatient ( re cleanup computer, dump temp files etc) but this will not help error 999 the best option if you have a dynamic IP is to do a full "flick of the switch", and when you power back up you will come back with a new IP, ( with some turn off comp for 8 hours), but usually you get a new IP when you power up straight after the shutdown, you can continue posting the link under the new IP.

� Best quick fix >>>> login to your Yahoo! mail via an international server... http://world.yahoo.com/ and access your mail / ya / 360 /games from there by clicking the mail icon, stay within that browser. That, is the best temp fix for the system

� Also reply to Yahoo using the link they give you in that Error 999 page. I did it once or twice and I was free from the Error. It has been said that answering, voting too quickly may cause that Error. So give some gap of 2-3 mins between any two Questions you answer.

Good Luck! :)

When did people start to really question the fast food industry?

Q. Like, when did people start to question health effects etc from hamburgers and other fast food meals? During what decade? Was there any article or research in particular that triggered the concerns about fast foods?

A. No one ever said anything in the 80s that I remember. I graduated HS in 85. In the 90s, people started gaining weight and going on diets all over. Fad diets, like the grapefruit diet. That's when everyone started questioning the real health of the burger. Vegans didn't even exist back in the early 90s.

Original Question

Why do women choose to bottle feed over breastfeeding? Why dont women fight back against outlawing the breast?

Q. ::iam NOT trying to sound like a le leche freak, or post holier than thou questions::

Health reasons aside, why choose bottles over breast?

I jsut got done reading something with the world census thing, and doing a little research. America has the HIGHEST infant mortality rate of all the industrialized nations. Thats insane, and they say its because all other countries tend to have much higher rates of breastfeeding verses formula.

I think its unfair that hospitals and doctors dont provide education and support to moms. Every mom wants to provide the very best, and its not fair that commercial entities and cultural taboo's are allowed to steal the best from our children.

On top of all that, some states and counties are MAKING IT ILLEGAL to nurse in public.. WTF?!

It just bothers me that we cant provide the best.

People in saudi arabia have healthier babies than us for cripes sake. Theres something wrong here.
Honestly i have to admit that I decided to nurse because it was cheaper. It wasnt until my son was born and I was crying in pain with every feeding that I researched it and found out how good it is and decided to tough it out.

So its not like I did it for his sake in the start. I was just one of those uneducated masses. Because no one offers education on this stuff. I had to google it on my own.

A. Bless you for writing this!
I made a big mistake with our son and breastfeeding/colic
I was uneducated with our son- though I thought I was. He took right to breastfeeding. He did well- but he had colic while I was nursing him. I changed my diet, watched what I ate- and still he had colic. I was told by our ped. at that time that "breastfed babies don't get colic". He handed us some soy formula and said "this will work." So, I listened- BIG MISTAKE- HUGE!!! Our baby cried for 5 hours when I was nursing him every night. On soy- he cried for 18 hours a day. I didn't know that you could put them back on the breast. I didn't know that the breastmilk would make it easier for him with colic. I had thought it was me and my milk that was causing him problems. I swore that any baby that we had following would be breastfed- and have done so. Our baby is just a year old and is still breastfed- 3 times a day. She has only been sick one time- she caught pink eye from me. She is far ahead on the charts for development.

So, some of it is lack of education.
Some of it is our perception of breasts in America- they are veiwed as "sexual objects" instead of as what they are for- to feed our babies.

Women are frowned upon for nursing past the first year.
Women are frowned upon for nursing in public. I will nurse our baby when and wherever she needs to eat.

For some women it is hard to nurse- they have pain. It is NORMAL and it passes.

Others have milk supply issues- these can be fixed. Still, it is O.K. to combine formula with breastmilk once baby is on the breast and is accostomed to the feeds.

Breastfeeding is easy- it is always ready.

Initially, babies want to nurse all the time. THIS PASSES! The first 6 weeks are the hardest- but it goes so fast.

I guess if I lived in an area that had laws passed not to nurse in public, I would get arrested. I have heard people say, "Nurse in your car." Sure- in 95 degree heat- IS THAT WISE??? Or, here in NY- in the freezing cold. Crazy!

Or: Nurse in the bathroom- nice- would you want to eat in a smelly bathroom???

Once, when nursing our baby in Toys R Us a family from India passed- they had a 5 month old baby and an older son. The dad and I had a nice talk- as I sat there covered and nursing our baby who was only 8 weeks old. He said that in his country women who are nursing are worshipped because they are passing on the next generations health and well-being. He told me not to hide in an aisle. I felt so good after talking to him and his wife. He was offended by the views on women who nurse in this country- and could not comprehend it.

Likewise, it is frowned upon to nurse here in public- when nothing can be seen. I had that experience recently- and it's the very thought that a baby is nursing under a blanket that is just a horrid thought to some- ridiculous! I receive more dirty looks from women than from men.

Many doctors are also not pushing breastfeeding- as did ours 10 years ago. If someone had told me, "he has colic- but he'd have it anyway, KEEP NURSING..." I would have. I didn't have the support or the internet to help.

NOTE: I work full-time and have been nursing for a year- I pump 3 times at work and once before I leave. Both babies were tongue-tied- our youngest still is and nursed fine.

So...good for you for bringing this up- and thanks for listening!

Original Question

What questions should I ask a life insurance salesman?

Q. Questions about health and conditions I have, should I mention them or not. If I'm on disability, should I tell them?

A. if you don't tell them the information about your helth, you may not be covered later on if there will be an inccident due to your disability...... Ask them what are you covered for - they will give you a brochure with all of the exclusiona nd information about your insurance anyways......... Look at insurance this way: if you are hiding imporatnt information that may "reduce" your premium but will not covere you in case of a real accident ... then that just means that your paying the premium for nothing.....

They should provide you with all the information you need

Can I wait one week to get my ferret its vaccinations?

Q. I am getting my first ferret friday from the petstore. I already have all i need for my little buddy. I have been reading online and read i have to get its shots. This brings me to my question...Health wise---Will it be alright if i wait one week (until next friday) to get its shots. If someone could answer asap i would be most grateful.

A. It would be better if you wait on getting the ferret until you have the proper funds to take him to the vet when you get him. Any new animal should be checked out by a vet within 48 hours of bringing him or her home (regardless if they need shots or any other such thing or not at the time).
Keep in mind ferrets are expensive pets as well- They are pretty much guaranteed a medical condition as they get older (generally in the adrenal glands and/or pancreas), and they are well known for getting into trouble that can result in high vet bills (My ferret stopped eating at one point, and I was worried he had eaten something he shouldn't- Vet visit, X-ray, and medicine came out to about $200. He did not have a blockage). If there's any worry about funds, and you can not keep an emergency vet visit fund than a ferret might not be the pet for you.

How to ask a question about health to people?

Q. Hi, I have a work friend who's had stroke recently and he's having another problem with his health, so I wonder How should I ask him a question about his health. Can I ask a question like this? "How's your health been lately?"
Thanks in advance.
Man, I knew someone just going to give me advice saying not to ask about the question like that. I really appreciate your answer but could you just give me the proper way to ask a question about one's health other than "how's your health been lately?

A. That's just a little bit too direct, if he's just a work friend. You could ask him a more general question, for example, "How are you these days? Everything going OK?"
If he wants to tell you more, he can; but if he doesn't want to, he can answer you generally and say, "Oh I'm fine, thanks". Then you can both change the subject.

Original Question

What is a Yahoo Answers Question BOT, and how do you become one so you can have a featured question?

Q. I have seen them, some stars, two senators etc
One was a exercise person, people not programs. I would like to do a featured question on health care approved by Yahoo Answers for a featured question... Thanks in advance for answering...

A. It's a direct cousin of the "poker bot". They're both programs designed to mimic human activity online. A "poker bot" will play poker for you at almost any poker site while the "question bot" works well on q&a sites. The "question bot" is just as profitable for q&a sites as it's cousin is for poker sites.

All kidding aside, a lot of "stars" is what's required to get your question featured on "Best of Answers", but what you need is a "Knowledge Partner" badge, and in order to get the "KP" badge, you will need to contact Yahoo!
