Given some recent difficulties with critters (bats in my house), my vet would like to move up the date in which my puppy gets her rabies vaccine. Normally she said she'd do it at 16 weeks, but now she wants to give it to her at 12 weeks. She's 11 weeks old now. Are there any negative consequences to doing this? What are the downsides? Could this potentially hurt her or mess with her development (physically and psychologically) at all? I hope not! :) THanks for any help with this question.

Okay, my 5 year old boxer lab just started to walk with a limp in his back leg. Is it artheritis? Isn't he to young for that? I called the vet to ask if it was safe to give him advil or something. and of course they tell you to buy their stuff. We moved out of a big house into a medium sized appartment so he lays down a lot more. And after he walks around for about 2 minutes his leg is fine. But im still worried about it, and at the moment money is tight. Is there anything i can give him to ease the pain?

--He weighs about 90lbs

Besides petting them or holding them, is there any other way to show a cat that you care for them? Obviously kissing them won't do any good because they don't know what the hell you are doing.

I'm not sure if he had them since I got him, 'cause I was scared of him the first couple days, but I've had him for 2 weeks now and they are not going away. A routine check costs $40 bucks - I can't afford it, unless he really needs it. There are two bumps, they feel like little firm balls under his skin and they are about 4-5 inches from his tail, half an inch appart. They haven't been moving. He's been eating fine. Anyone know what it means? He's my first snake, so it's hard for me to tell if he's acting normal or not. Thanks

Left our pet rabbit outside until after dark by accident. Was wondering if a wild rabbit might mount her? Don't know if one could reach her or not.

I know that alot of dogs do this. I've taken mine to the vet and they gave me this stuff to sprinkle over his food to make it taste aweful and he still does it. Today I fed him really good and afterwards he pooped and I saw him with a turd in his mouth and I screamed (BANDIT) and he knew he was doing wrong and he immediately spit it out and ran and put himself in his crate. Is this a hopeless case. I have never seen that guy on animal planet talk about this. You know the dog whisper guy?

I was curious.. if I have a child and one day decide to pimp it out due to their amazing bloodline (joking) and then decide to pimp out those grandkids, its illegal... But if I breed my dog and then breed its puppies and so on... its legal. HOW IS THIS RIGHT!?!?!?

Its disturbing the attitude that I have encountered toward vets and the recommendation of science diet food(only one of many) Vets ARE indeed trained and consistently educated in nutrition(sheesh its one of the MAJOR aspects of medicine) so where some of you get the impression that they are not..you need to research. Science diet is not crap and vets(at least the several that I have worked with) dont get the huge reward that you think for recommending science diet (again, one of many) Ive been a tech for years and we are CONSTANTLY receiving continuing education in nutrition from veterinary medical associations and brands arent mentioned unless specifically asked about. Research about nutrients, not the ingredients. They only deliver. Its insulting that anyone would imply that someone in my profession would push a food for monetary benefit(or free pens). I didnt go into this business for wealth and anyone who researchs veterinary medicine, including your average DVM degree, would agree

Or is the hearing just impaired? It's so sad to see dogs with ears cut or with tails docked. :(

The first time I caught my pup with a rock in his mouth, i freaked and took it away. Ever since then I've been scared he has been eating rocks. My trainer, however, said that dogs like the feel of rocks in their mouths, and we even had my pup x-rayed and there were no rocks in him. Well since then, my two babies are always bringing in rocks from outside and chewing them, and my first instinct is to take them away because if they swallow them, they will not pass and will need surgery, but my trainer says they are just playing and if you move to take them away, they may swallow them out of reaction or if they know you will take it away. Does anyone have suggestions? We are working on clearing out all the rocks in our back yard, but it is a process (as it was fully landscaped when we bought it.. and you know how puppies are). I watch them very closely but if they like to play with the rocks, I want to let them.... HELP!!! Thanks

My beagle was playing in the surf at the ocean yesterday and he seems to have hurt his tail. He is quiet today and yelps if his tail is touched. He is favoring it and does not wag it as usual. There is no broken skin and i cant feel anything odd on his tail but dont know what to do to help him feel better. Is this something that I need to take him to the vet about? What if anything can i do now to help him feel better?

I have no idea what my dog is, we got her from a dog shelter. We saved her life. But she chews on everything..she has chewed on my shoes, my moms shoes, wires, the remote, and so much more. She does it when we are sleeping or when we arent home. She knows that its bad cause when you go to show her what she did she hangs her head so she knows she is in trouble. How can i break her of this. My mom yells at me for what she does. The other day she pulled one of my moms plants out of the ground and tore it up. That plant could have killed her, its poision to her. She is a very hyper dog and she doesn't learn anything easy. We've had her for like 5 months and she still chews..oh and top it off she still has accidents. But she knows it wrong..i need help or some advice or my mom is gonna make me get rid of her or i'll get rid of her cause my mom wants to beat the crap out of her. We just had a huge fight because the dog, reese cup, just ate the 6th pair of shoes of my moms. Help please!!
