i have had quite a proublem getting fleas off my 3 cats and out of my home. heres what i have tried so far.

on the pets - bathe cats once a week. tried several flea shampoos & dawn. sargents gold seemed to work the best, but one cat is still itching and fleas are still present. constint useage of flea comb. before last bath there were tons of fleas. now not so many. tried hertz liquid flea medications/stuff like frontline,made them itch more.

on the carpets - borax/salt left it on for 6 hours and did this two times in a week and still the fleas would be present. stuff made me feel sick so vacumed it off sooner than suggested. steam vac made it much worse. vacumming constantly. light and soapy water dish to catch fleas, not many in the water. finaly used zodiac flea carpet spray. not sure yet. the cats are kept in a cleaned room so not to spread more.

is there anything else to try to get rid of them thats not toxic? have though of everything and im on a tight budget.

I have a 3 month old puppy that will whine, yelp, cry, bark as soon as I'm out of sight for no reason. It isn't because she's hungry/thirsty/has to go potty. Since she's just a puppy and I'm crate training her, I put her in her crate when I can't supervise her or when I'm gone for a few hours, I let her stay in her exercise pen with water and a pee pad. When she's either in her crate or pen, and she sees that I'm not there, she barks and whines. Both crate and pen located near family activ, not isolated. Even if I step out of her sight just to go to the bathroom, she yelps and cries. Or even if I'm just a feet away, but out of her sight, she still complains. She's extremly loud and has a high pitched bark for a 2lb puppy. I tried leaving her a stuffed kong toy to distract her so she doesn't notice me leaving, but the second she sees me leaving, she just ditches her toy and barks and cries. I tried giving her all kinds of toys. The neighbors complain. What do I do?

I just got a 3 month old toy poodle 4 days ago. She won't eat when I'm not in sight. Even if she hasn't eaten in a while. She whines when I leave her and her food/water dish alone. When I bring her the food, she will take a bite and then as soon as I leave, she stops eating and whines, yelps and barks telling me to come back. Even if I do come back, and stay close to her, she doesn't eat. She just whines. She only eats when I hand feed her. I can't sit with her every mealtime and hand feed her! I read in books that humans needs to leave their dogs be whlie they're eating, but it seems that this dog is an exception. What do I do? I'm desperate, please!

This is more a warning than a question. If you have a male cat especially a neutered one and has always used the litterbox and he starts peeing everywhere take him to the vet asap. I have been through this before with one of my cats, I dont know how I missed the warning signs this time but I had to put my Beloved Cat Buddy Boy to sleep today because he had this problem so bad he couldn't walk or even pick his head up. he weighed 20 lbs originally but when we finally got him to the vet he was about 25 lbs and his bladder was very swollen. He was bleeding so bad and the only thing to do was to have him put to sleep. I could not watch him suffer anymore. I wish I could have saved him, but I couldn't, I didnt catch on to the warnings he was exhibiting until it was too late. Please don't let this happen to your cat, I dont won't anyone to go through the pain I have been through.

She is very mellow, plump, happy, loves my lap, took a bath beautifully, ate and drank lots and went for a long walk on her first day with us after she approached us in the park. Any dog care help/suggestions for a chihuaha would be appreciated. (I think she may need her anal glands expressed cuz she did the booty rub on the sidewalk.)

i would like to have a cat one day. not now, though. i don't have the means to take care of one at the moment. but i will most probably get one later. there's so many kinds of cats and i don't know each and every characteristic. so, i was wondering what type of cat would be good as a pet.

she had kept these birds in small 1x1 foot cages then a year ago I built a 3x4 foot cage and that damn ***** bitched and didn’t want to use it cause it didn’t have casters on it. She did end up using it sense I just took the seven birds she had in the biggest cage and tossed them in to the cage I made. She was not happy. Now she keeps the mating pair in the second biggest cage mating 24 seven and the pair has killed three of their batched, I am very surprised this one survived. She has seven birds in the gage I built and has the main pair in a tiny cage and she bitched about how crappie my cage is even though it is out side most of the time and it has been a year. Should I just go and let the birds free, knowing they will die but at least they will know what its like to be free. I admit I want to do it to piss her off but I also think that the cage I built is not big enough. The seven parakeets need an 8x8 or 12x12 cage really. What do you all think? i live in the eastrn oregon desert

Ok dont think im weird but I have been going to the same zoo 2-3 times a week for about 2 years and I have been so facsinated with a Camel there named Grapito. shes a gougeious animal but heres the catch. I have fallen in love with her in an intimate way. I know this is weird to some But I really love Grapito and am wondering how I can pursue this relationship. The zoo keepers think I am playing around and think its cute but this is a deep feeling I have and I even offered to buy her so i could bring her home. Other than bashing me please advise me on what i can so. I wish I can show you a picture of her. Thank you for your time
