we live in the country, there is a footpath at the back of our (fenced in) property and when the shepherd goes by with his sheep my dogs get very excited and bark at them and at each other. The little dog yaps at the big dog and he retaliates and bites her( normally he is not aggressive, but she winds him up), I am looking to buy a lightweight chain mail type of coat she could wear to protect her. It is not possible to keep them seperate.

All my fish were killed by some disease. So I used some hot water to clean the tank and want to start all over. Is the hot water good enough to kill all the disease?

This dog was dumped at my house some months ago, and we became attached, not thinking about her being female, she is delivering but on the 3rd pup, she didn't sever the umbilical cord, I helped, but i'm worried about the mom not finishing her delivery

I gave my dog (Tbone - he's a daschund) a rawhide bone. While I wasn't home, he tried to bury his bone in my bed. He tried to move the pillows/blankets around with the top of his nose, and in the process he scraped away a piece of his skin! So I coaxed him away from the bone and threw it away (I don't want him to hurt himself anymore). Now he's still pushing things around looking for it! Should I give the bone back?? I don't know what to do!!

I just moved to an acreage and my dog has been going nuts for an hour. This thing looks like a baby beaver without the tail. Its tail is only about 3 inches long, kinda flat but is hairy. It is very feisty and won't back down. It moves very quick. Moves like a wolverine, looks like a beaver and is not a muskrat. May even have white on its belly. This is the second one I have seen. I am from alberta so take that into consideration and no it is not a rat.

...who has really bad gas. She's still a very active 13 yr. old Rhodesian, with perfect body weight for her size (92 lbs.), but, OMG, I never need to trim my nose hair because she can burn it out. Any suggestions or ideas?

I had my parents buy me some pine pet bedding, on the bag, its from brand Kaytee, Pine bedding and litter, with a thing on the side that says naturally fresh, its a good size bag, and i want to know if can harm my small hamsters, Gorby and Stalin, Russian dwarf hamsters, which should be more prone to respiratory problems because of their size, i still have some of their old bedding, not for a full bed change, but some, what would be the consequences of me putting this in their cage? should i mix it with some of the old stuff? it doesn't say it has scent oils or anything like that, but i just wanted to make sure no harm came to the hamsters.

There's this little black bump on her face, under her eye, it looks like a pimple, but it's black. She's a brown striped tabbi, but there's no fur on the bump, it's weird. Today I saw her stratching like crazy and just now I noticed that it was bleeding, she must have cut it when she was scratching... Anybody know what it might be? And will it get infected? If I had a cut I'd put some neosporin on it, or hydrogen perroxide or something, but she's a cat, idk how her immune system and stuff works.

P.S. She's 14, but in pretty good shape.

I posteda few minutes ago about my dog's incision and itching. Nowo I am wondering if you can sue for medical malpractice against a vet. I took my chihuahua to a vet 3 weeks ago and informed him about my dog having troubles urinating adn he told me it was because he licked himself and made his private irritated and infected but didnt give any meds for it just meds for mange. Told me that I would have to wait 3 months for mange treatment to be completed and then he would do shots and then worry about urinatign problem. Well exactly 2 weeks later he almost died on me because he had stones so big that they blocked the tip of his uretha tube and one embedded itself into bone at tip of male part. i had to have emergency surgery performed on dog by another vet because first vet told me he was too busy to look at my dog. I almost lost my dog because of it. My dog also basically had have a sex change surgery at same time because stones tore up uretha tube.

My chihuahua had surgery a week ago for stone removal and had to have his uretha tube rerouted because stones got stuck in his private area adn tore the oretha tube up. He is trying to chew on the new area they had to cut and put his uretha tube at so he could go the bathroom. I am looking for somethiing to put on there to help him stop from trying to bite the site. I need somethingto stop the itching if possible. He won't get the stitches out for awhile as it was major surgery and he is looking at more surgery for same thing but more corrective surgery since this last one was an emergency surgery. If anyone can give me some safe ideas that will not harm the area and be okay to use my chihuahua I would appreciate it.

I am picking up two new female kittens tommorrow morning. These kittens are in need of some names. I normally let our children name the pets, but the hamsters are Mario and Luigi, the bird is pickle poop becuase her poop looks like pickles (they say), the dog is named Sampson and out older cat Goliath. Even the fish have matching names (characters from Nemo). They've been putting their heads together all night and have come up with nothing. Please help with some suggestions.

Should let you know Thelma and Louise are out, as well as Lucy and Ethel....the kids don't know who they are.

My cats go out every night...tonight I haven't seen 1 in about 3 hours. That may not seem like a long time, but he ALWAYS comes back within 5-10 minutes of me calling him in, or he comes home on him own. We have searched the entire neighborhood for the past hour, and called him over and over to no avail...my other cats came home tonight, just not the missing one...am I freaking out over nothing? I am worried maybe he wondered further than usual and lost track of his scent??? I have walked, and drove around looking, now I will just wait up for as long as I can...any suggestions, or help please? Could he just be acting different and for the 1 time in his life sitting under a bush or something and ignoring us?
