My cat loves sleeping on the roof of my car and leave foot prints and hair all over the car. How can get her to stay off my car?

I moved from an area that is humid to an area that is dry and my dog is constantly itching from dry skin. i tried medicated shampoo and a off the shelf cortisone spray but nothing seems to work. Is there anything i can do? He has a flea collar so i think fleas are out of the question.

Her heart has only 2 chambers working and putting her to sleep for the operation would probably kill her. Yet, if that eye blows out, she will be in a lot of pain. My 10 year old daughter is begging me to save her, even if I feel like we should just put her down. I am so torn as to what the right thing to do is. Has anyone else ever had this happen to thier pet? Would my daughter hate me for putting down a pet she has had almost her whole life? Why do vets charge so much money knowing folks love their pets, but can't afford such high costs as this?

My cat climbs up the screen in my living room windows and it is a fight to get him down and out. And it is only the living room windows. All of the other windows he justs sits and looks out.

My neighbors have two 12 week old puppies, one was really sick, they couldnt afford to take the puppy to the vet so they called animal control, who came out and took the dog away, animal control did say that she didnt think what the puppy had was life threatening, but now their other puppy is showing similar signs as the first puppy. My question is, can my dogs, who are both up to date on their shots (one is due for shots in a little over two weeks) contract whatever it is, even though they had little exposure to the dog, just some sniffing and touching through a hole in the fence. I am going out of town in three days, and now I am afraid to leave them....

my dog seems to get hot really easily. its been really hot where we live and she lays around and pants all day. she still begs to go for walks but when i take her she cant go for that long and she just pants and pants. i have noticed when i see othe pit bulls walking they are always doing the same thing. we even had to go buy her her own little fan and she spends all day laying in front of it. is this common for the breed do they just get hot really easily or something? they have such short hair it doesnt seem like they would get so hot. i have done a lot of research on pits and i dont ever remember anything saying that they get hot easily. oh and do you think my dog needs shoes when we got on walks because the ground gets really hot do you think her feet burn? i know these things seem silly to worry about but my dog is my baby.

So I have two pet rabbits that I normally keep inside my house. I really want to get a bigger rabbit hutch and keep it outside. Will they be ok since its so hot outside? Its like a 100 degrees most days, maybe more. Ive heard that rabbits can have heat strokes if they are out in the sun too long, but if they are in the shade would that be ok?

I have two cockatiels that just won't stop having babies. They first started having babies around easter of 2005 and have been non-stop since. As soon as the babies are old enough to walk out of the breeding cage they start doing it again. Sometimes as often as three times a day.

We've tried removing the breeding cage and nesting box but they'll lay eggs next to the couch and try to hatch them there. I'm worried about the health of the mother since I've heard they may pull calcium from their bones to form eggs. She eats lots of cheese and chew the calcium block plenty though.

I can't and won't separate the pair since they are in love and will cry and scream if they can't be together. Does anyone have suggestions on how to stop them?

I also have two parakeets, one lovebird, and another cockatiel. Thank god they are all males and can't breed with each other.

Why buying puppies from pet stores is deplorable:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/08/15/national/main1897821.shtml

A trailer carrying dozens of puppies to Northeast pet stores caught fire just off an interstate, killing all of the estimated 60 dogs inside, authorities said.

The puppies were a variety of breeds between the ages of 8 and 12 weeks, according to a state police news release.

A preliminary investigation indicated that a malfunctioning fan in the rear of the trailer may have started the fire, police said. No charges have been filed.

The truck was owned by the Hunte Corp. of Goodman, Mo., a major puppy supplier for pet stores.
-------

8 to 12 week old puppies, shipped in bulk in semi trailers from Missouri to Massachussets, like boxes of cereal or stuffed animals.

At least livestock trailers have windows.

How can people buy puppies from pet stores, encouraging and financing this sort of treatment?
