It is kind of under his ear. It feels like a lump of fat, and it does not seem to hurt him. What is it??

I mean, can they really tell one person from another? Do they remember people, or are we all just big bags of food to them?

I have noticed that most people, unless they are just an animal lover in general, prefer either cats or dogs and usually not both. For instance, though I have nothing against dogs, I really prefer cats.
Are you a cat lover or a dog lover or both? What implications (if any) are there if one prefers cats over dogs or vice versa?

My kitten is very sick and I'm getting close to the decision of putting him to sleep. He has some sort of neurological problem and has a horrible time trying to walk. I feel like it is time. The question is my children are 7 & 8 and they know that he has a short time left with us. When it is time to put him down how should I handle it with them. Should the family go together when we euthanize him or should I take him alone and let the kids say goodbye at home?

I just bought a used fish tank and in it right now is an underwater filtration. I was wondering since I have this current underwater filter do I still need another filter, the kind like the bio-wheel or aqua clear filters. Thanks for your advice and help.

She goes in for her operation on Wednesday at 8:30am. The vet says she should be done whilst in heat. Will she know what has been done to her?

My Beagle suddenly resists walking and won't eat or drink out of his bowls unless I hand feed him and fill a mug with water and put it near his mouth. He used to eat/drink/walk normally. I don't want that to become a habit, but he just won't eat/drink unless I hand feed him! What can I do to break these habits?

I have a 40lb 7 month old female Bassett Hound. We recently put her in a fenced in yard and she digs into the black dirt to find cool spots. I have noticed that her ears are now filled with black dust and dirt from her laying in the dirt holes that she digs. I am not sure the best way to get her ears cleaned like they should be.

I have two 12-year-old indoor cats and I was wondering what kind of life-span they might have. They seem to be in relatively good health, although not as active as they used to be, of course. They still run and jump and play.

From rabbits, dogs, horses, to cows etc., he wants to get in a fight.
He is neutered and has basic obedience training (3 trainers,one behaviorist), but can't be loose around any other animal. I know if I could get him to the dog whisperer he could help him, but that's not possible since I live in central Pa.. He is 21/2 yrs old ,79lbs, and is living on borrowed time. HELP,HELP, HELP.

My little canary died Sunday. The Bird Shop owner ask me if my bird had been near any non-stick cooking pot or pan. Yes, I brought the cage past the stove in order to clean its cage. As soon as I set the cage on the counter, my bird toppled over and died.

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU ANSWER!!!!

My dog walks in circles only to his right, he at times is a little wobley on his feet, he drinks as much water as you will let him, and he urinates a lot and he doesn't care where he will urinate in his bed, also just recently his urine has been dark in color?

We have limited the amount he drinks (vets suggestion) to 1/2 a cup of water twice a day and he still urinates a lot we have to take him out every 2 hours to keep him from going in the house he will even go in his crate and for this reason we are afraid to go anywhere because we don't want him to mess while we are gone.

We have only had him for 2 weeks and he is 5 months old. We did get him from a petstore (my husband didn't like any at the animal shelters and fell in love with this one). He had lived at the pet store for close to 3 months.

The vet gave us a major scare this morning when we took him in to be fixed. They called and said they thought it was his liver chunt.

I recently noticed my 1 y/o German Shepherd Puppy has really dry skin on his elbows and some areas of his belly. He itches it also. Can you suggest something to clear it up? Did you have a similar problem? If so, what was it and how was it cured? Thanks for your help:-)

I don't think it's a yellow eared slider. Email me at pinkandtwisted@yahoo.com and I can send you pictures if you think you might be able to tell me.

Thanks

Someone asked why people answer if they don't know the answer.
The question I ask is: Why do so many people own pets that know nothing about them. So many ask about breeding, and serious obvious problems that would require a Vet.
Why are they breeding, and why are they not going to a Vet and asking these questions later?
There is a huge problem in the United States with Puppy Mill, and Unwanted pets, and if we could help people to educate themselves better maybe we could stop all that.
