Can I use garlic to deworm my cat of tapeworms?

Tia asked:


One month ago I used a dewomer for dogs to deworm my cats.It did actually work, the worms came out in their stool,but they’re back.I had to use the stuff for dogs because in my city pet supply retailers cannot not sell the cat stuff.Only vets can and I cant afford the $200 my vet wants for me to bring them in. I have actually found a guy who owns a rescue clinic who can sell me cat dewormer but he doesnt get any in until wednesday! It’s friday and my poor babies are already locked in the basement and it’s breaking my heart.I heard that a couple of pieces of garlic a day will kill all the worms. Will it? Is this gonna keep them away and should I still use the medicine ?

Where should i buy my pet rabbit from?

syed asked:


Ok well i adopted a lionehad rabbit from petco 4 days ago. He hadnt pooped for 3 days and wasnt eating that much. I returned him yesterday to petco because they sold me a sick rabbit. I have been told that pets mart, petco, and pet supplies plus treat their animals with neglect and do not care for them properly. Now i wanna buy antoher rabbit. Theres a dwarf rabbit at pet supplies plus for $35. Do you guys think i should buy it? If not where should i buy or adopt rabbits from. I live in des plaines illinois so if you wanna name an adoption agency name one in my area.

Thanks

Should I work at a pet store?

Matt asked:


I have been thinking about applying a pet store. I have been working at an animal shelter for the past 2 months, but I get the impression that they look down at buying animals from pet shops. I understand to an extent, though the pet shop goes far beyond cats and dogs that most animal shelters just offer, not to mention pet supplies. Should I apply at a pet shop? Is there anything I should know? I’ve heard some things about the ethics.
It’s a local pet shop. Here’s the website. http://www.aquariapets.com/ They even claim that they are a proud supporter of the shelter I volunteer at, which I also don’t plan on quitting. You know, unless I move or something, but then I’ll probably find another shelter.

For some reason I want to have fishes.
How much would it cost for the supplies? water pumps, tank, food, other stuff..
what would I need?
What would be a decent sized tank?
What would be a good estimate amount of all the stuff together?
I wouldn’t want any large fish, maybe medium and small ones.
