No kidding, I've had him for about 7 months now. He is 3 years of age, picked him up from a pound. I'd say twice a week, I catch him humping his mouth. At first I thought he was just licking his crotch area, but after further inspection, I saw what he was really doing! Could this be something he learned from his last owner? Anyway, plz help, I dont want my grandma seeing this.

I saw a huge white dog the other day. It was over 4 feet tall, and could easily seat a 10-year-old child (not that I'd be doing that). Anyways, I don't know the breed of the dog. It looks something like the one in this picture, except a lot bigger and fluffier.

My 7mth old boxer mix has just recently started chewing her paws... I've noticed it from when she comes in from outside after going to potty... I've also noticed that when she lays in the grass outside for any long period of time, she'll get a red rash on her tummy as well... We've had people out in the last month spraying the grounds (apt complex) and planting new stuff, so I don't know if it's a reaction to that or not... She never had any of these two problems until this started.

We switched her food to Nutro Natural Choice (chicken & oatmeal) last month because of food allergies and a sensitive tummy, so I doubt that has anything to do with it as she has been GREAT since switching this food.

Any advice? Suggestions? Experience?

I don't have the money to take her to the vet.
She's 9 years old and has really bad arthritus. She limps when she walks and can't jump on the couch anymore. She's also really overweight which makes it harder for her, but her joints hurt her too much to excercise. I feel terrible for her...what should I do?
She's half pomeranian and half chihuahua.

My Golden Retriever was treated with a topical over-the-counter flea medication (the kind you put down the back), about 2 weeks ago. I don't know if he had any fleas at that time, but I didn't notice scratching. Not until the last day or two. Now he is. Is it ok to give him something else -- for example, an oral medication to treat fleas? Is it possible that he does have fleas now? Is there any other reason he would be scratching?

My girlfriend was away at a hospital to have her seizures treated and the day she was going to come back home, I came home from work and found her gerbil dead on the floor with the cat standing next to it. I really want to know the best way to tell her since she is just coming back after being away for 3 days.

For instance, if I threw my kitty in the pool to save him from a burning building, would he be able to stay afloat? I'm not interested in theory. I want to know if anyone has actually seen a cat swim. Thanks!

A friend of ours has a litter of Basset pups and offered one to us "at cost" because they know we lost our beloved hound about three years ago to old age. I know these are good people with wonderful dogs. Here's the clincher: I have three kids ages 11.5 months, 3 years, and 9 years. I know my 9 year old would help out lots because she loves animals, and a neighbour came down with an illness that lasted several months and my daughter walked their dog dilligently 3-4 times a day, fed him, cleaned up after him, everything and never asked for anything in return. That being said, I am going out of my mind with these kids as it is. My husband works long hours and I rarely get a break. My doctor says I am depressed - which I already knew. I was depressed when we got our 1st dog, and she helped me greatly by getting me out for walks and being cute. My daughter was 11 months old then and we had nothing bad happen. I would like another pooch, but I don't want the puppy to suffer. Advice?

He's been throwing up a lot lately, just about everyday for the last week. Three days ago, he threw up on the floor, and the vomit was bright red, like it was blood. My mother said it looked like he was eating another kind of dog food that made him sick. I don't think so. I still think it is blood, and he is still throwing up. I can't take him to the vet, my parents won't let me. He's technically their dog, and they don't think this warrants a visit to the vet.
