my dog has heartworms and we need to treat him for it. the problem is during and after treatment the dog has to be kept still and calm for several weeks.
our dog is very energetic and loves to do laps in our yard.
there is NO WAY we can keep him still and quiet so i am wondering-
is it possible to give a dog sedatives during his treatment?
one vet i called said yes for sure, the other said no way thats too long for a dog to be sedated.
what gives? HELP!

when standing, the nails do not touch the floor. I want to cut them untill I don't hear the nails clicking on the floor because I have hardwood floors. is that OK or is that too short?

I heard that I can save money by putting a rubber band around his nuts really tight. Then they will fall off naturally. He keeps bighting at the rubberband but it's on there real tight.

Everytime i open my windows i am beseiged by my neighbours 4 cats, this poses a bit of a problem as i am allergic to them, thankfully not too severely but it still causes me a lot of discomfort. I get on rather well with my neighbour who owns them so a peaceful non harming method is one im searching for (unlike my fathers idea of stringing a small electric fence across my window sills), any ideas anyone???

My boyfriend moved in recently and the cats have been acting different. I know they just have to adjust. But I will not tolerate them going to the bathroom on my couch when they have a clean liter box. How can I get them to stop.

She goes in one area consistently, which I like, but in the summer it gets a little ripe. I pick up often but I think it's really soaked down over the years.

Mine sure does and he has to be the center of attention! He is such a clown and will do anything to get you to look at him.

I'd like to find out what your prefered method of house training a puppy is. My 11-week-old dachsund puppy was trained by the folks who owned his mom to go on a hard, flat surface. This is a problem, b/c we have all hardwood floors and a gravel driveway. I'm so so sick of cleaning up puppy crap; please help me!

I have recently purchased a "hognose" pufferfish.....I have now noticed that my red belly pacu has ick....is it safe to use the ick drops in the tank with my new puffer? I have heard that some medicines are unsafe for them, so I thought I would make sure before I did it.

I am TERRIFIED of spiders, except for rose haired tarantulas. They're black, but under direct light/sun light, they look pink. They are so laid back and gentle.

(I just don't like it if they come near me to quickly hehhe)

He is molting something fierce. I have been pulling out big clumps of fur but it seems like it makes the flying fur worse. I have been thinking about putting him outside during the day to cut down on the fur in the house (he has a rabbit run) but it's cooler outside than inside. Will this mess up his molting or will he get too cold?

Treadmill for cats? Are you serious??? And if this is an invention you are considering, congrats... cause it's no longer a secret. Hey, how about an exercise bike for dogs. Are people really that stupid??? I have to say, Yahoo! Answers offers tremendous entertainment value!

My Cinnamon died this morning leaving the 6 1 day old puppies. She apparently got a very aggressive infection. I kept calling the emergency vet clinic. They kept telling me it sounded normal. Even though I told them there was a dark blackish green stuff coming out of her… that smelled horrible. They kept telling me it was placenta. They told me it was all normal. She became lethargic last night. I just could not get her to really respond to me much. I brought her into another clinic and they told me she was very ill. She died at 4:30 ish this morning…..I really need some help. I don’t know how much the babies should be drinking from the bottle in one feeding… should I let them feed until they fall asleep… or should I stop them from feeding once they get so much. I know I have to stimulate their bowels. What else….. Please help me.

And please... no mean answers. I just spent 1200 trying to keep her alive. I admit.... my emergency ... and dog money have run out.
