My 4-5 month old, 30 lb. puppy managed to get the lid off of the kitchen trash and fish out this morning's coffee filter. Most of the grounds dumped into the trash when she got it (only made 1 cup this morning--about 3 tbsp of grounds) but she chewed the filter into several pieces. There seem to be a number of vets and vet techs out there: How bad are coffee grounds for dogs? It doesn't appear that she intentionally ingested any, but there may have been some incidental ingestion (less than a teaspoon).... sigh...Thanks.

When I called her to come in today my 7-month old golden retriever tripped on the bottom step. She stopped and looked around. Eventually she came in.

My husband and I just treated our two dogs for fleas using Hartz flea and tick shampoo. Our dogs are now dry, and we still found a few live fleas on them. Is this normal, and if not, what should we do now? We have our dogs closed into a room, so we wont get anymore in the house. The shampoo says not to use again for a week. Any suggestions?!

She's an 8 month old bengal leopard....i have not yet been able to afford to spay her. I feel horrable for it because she's miserable. But until I can get her spayed, is there anything I can do to calm her down?

My yorkie is approx 2.5 lbs and you would think we could easily overpower him, but when I even open the drawer where I keep the nail clippers, he freaks out completely! I'm afraid we'll hurt him trying to hold him and his nails are getting longer and longer! Help!

I've just bought two female hamsters approx. 2 1/2 weeks ago. Four days after bringing them home, the first one had 7 babies. Just last week the other one had a litter of 11. The mothers are in separate cages. The oldest litter is two weeks old today. I've left the cage cleaning because I heard you should for the safety of the babies. Now I need to clean it. I'm afraid of disturbing the nest. Any suggestions?

I have no problem with hunting but I do believe that you should kill for a reason. Hunting for sport is wrong. I have killed and eaten deer.

I am seeing lots of questions about how "my cat has this VERY serious problem but I can't afford a vet". Don't these idiots realize that animals need regular veterinary visits and the occasional emergency visit? This seems to be common among the cat owners.
