My 1 and a half year old Golden Retreiver has just recently developed a black spot on his tongue about the size of a 5 pence piece, it sort of looks like a mole. Does anyone know of this happening before or if it's worth taking him to the vets to check it out?

Okay here is the situation. My Dog is usually with my ex 24/7, on the job site running around (he is a carpenter). She was spayed bout two weeks ago and there were some complications. So she had to stay home. The last couple days she was home she began to rip up our brand new carpet. She ate the under carpet I cleaned up what I could but she wont stop. Any Ideas on why she would do this. Is she mad at us, for leaving her home? Do not know what to make of it. I want her to stop! Please help.

My JRT has been sneezing,inverted sneezing,and his eyes are all irritated and runny---symptoms similar to a human suffering hay fever. He also has a slight skin condition,so my vet does nothing but subscripe prednesolone for him,which is no help to him whatsoever. I keep pointing out his nose and eye problems,but the vet says the prednesolone will help with that,and doesn't offer any alternative. Is there any other medication that will help him? Poor little guy is miserable.

He is a puppy though. Possibly a few months old. I've been trying the puppy pad method since I live in an apartment and I'm not supposed to have pets. I can't take him outside except at night. But he is ruining the carpet and still not using the pad. Everyone says we should've had him trained by now since we've had him a month. What can I do? Is a crate the only way? And if so, I'm home 99% of the time with him so when should I put him in there? And how can I persuade him to use the pad? Please help!

I bought hamsters from PetSmart about 2 weeks ago, 3 Siberian males. One of them that had bright red eyes, is now turning white. I have no idea how old they are, the guy at PetSmart didn't know either. The other 2 hamsters are fine, but I am worried about this one and I don't know what to do, is it allready old and dying? Thanks for your help.

The dog has also been licking himself every time he urinates. He acts as though he won't continue walking until he does lick himself.
The other thing is he has been neutered, but yet he had enlarged testicular area with tenderness to area and would not move. Are these related or coincidences.

Do older cats..or older pets get only 72 hours until they're put to sleep? Is this true? Is it ALL Humane Society's or just some?
so if i had to put my two cats who are about 1 year and a half old, and nobody wanted to adopt them after 72 hours, would they get put to sleep?

I am doing tank upgrades (moving all my fish to larger tanks) and I will have 2 five gallon tanks that will be empty. I have never had bettas before and I always see people put them in a vase or something else very small. I know they have to be kept from other males, but does it have to be a small space.

We've had them for about a year now..and they're brothers. (both male obviously) and they've been peeing on random things..like my dads clothes and my brothers bed supposedly i guess. i dont understand why they NEVER pee on anything of mine, or my mom's. I think it's because we're nice to them, and my dad and brother kinda tease them, and scare them because they're so loud and rough. so when my dad gets off of work, he's planning to pick them up and drop them off at the humane society..i REALLY need help, i've been so upset all day. any tips? suggestions?! anything?! ideas?! just please help. i dont want them to get separated if my dad does end up giving them away, because they're brothers, and they're so close. so just please, any ideas?

I have never had to write a sympathy card for a loss of a pet or a loved one for that matter so I am at a loss on what I should write in the card.
Please help!
Thank you.

(who like to criticize or set judgement on those persons commonly known as "treehuggers" or animal rights activists) Is it necessarily true that they are unintelligent individuals who have lost their minds, or perhaps maybe the other way around?

Who is of greater strength one with compassion or one lacking?

About a month ago my cats chin almost turned black. It is normally white, there are like black flakes on it, almost like dirt is stuck in it. I try rubbing it off but he doesn't like it because I think I am irritating the area. I also tried shampooing it off? What are these black things ONLY on his chin?

I'm just wondering about how long it will take to crate train my puppy. She's been doing very well the past couple of months and I'm wondering if I should give her somemore room to roam. How long should I keep her in the crate? When would be a good time to give her a little more freedom? Thanks :0)

I think it smells like fish sticks, my b/f thinks it smells like #2. I feed him the IAMS kitten dry cat food. I have tried greenies and Pit r Pat mints, but they don't work. He is five months old and his teeth look great. Is it because he cleans himself in (you know what) areas?
