I have a 5 month old colt that has developed a sway back, he also has worms so his belly is very round (ive dewormed him already) I talked to 2 vets, the first one said that there was something really wrong with him, the second vet said give him time he's just going though a bad growth period. I don't know whos advise to take.

I've had 2 cats now that have had a litter but both have had trouble. My first cat had a litter of 4 but lost one kitten, the intestines was on the outside, but the other 3 kittens were fine. My second cat had only 2 kittens, but the first one was big and both of its back legs were broken, but the other kitten is o.k.
Just wondering if that's normal for a first litter and any other litters they have will all be o.k Don't think I or my cats can go through this sort of thing every time. It's very sad.

Can anyone give advice on a similar situation with their cat. She is on three tablets a day and still is not eating since I left her at the vets overnight and they put her on a drip to get fluids into her. I am so worried. What Is the prognosis for a cat with these two problems (she is about 10 years old)? How can I tempt her to eat her vet reccomended diet of dried biscuits?

I am about to trim my kitten's nails for the first time. I've read a bunch of sites on doing it (trimming the nail, and not the quick). My question is, I would like to make them as dull as possible as to not damage my furniture. Will simply one quick snip do the trick? Or will it still be a bit sharp (edges?)? Or can I try to trim out the edges making it less sharp?

My sweet little papillon was attacked by some huge mutt when I tried to take him for a walk last night. It took a big hunk off his side. I took him to the vet last night, they bandaged him up, gave him a shot for pain. I didn't have the money for everything they wanted to do for him (which the estimate was a little over $1600!).. He's in pain, but he's not bleeding profusely. This morning, he only yepls when he tries to move. I think he's going to be okay. I called the police to see if I could press charges against the people whose dog attacked mine, or something, you know. They reffered me to the animal control. Ok, so. My question is, what will happen if I call animal control? Will they press some kind of charges, or what. I don't want to call them on these people if all they are going to do is confiscate the dog and euthanize it. This other dog was on a leash, as was my dog. Yet, the other dog attacked mine unprovoked. This other dog must of weighed 100 pounds. Mine might weigh 2.

The horror behind the glamour
They race around the track, kicking dust clouds in the air. They run neck to neck, each one trying to overtake the other. The crowd goes wild. But suddenly, just as they reach the finish line, one stumbles and falls. A hush falls over the crowd. The race is now finished, along with the fallen horses life. This happens to be a daily battle.
Many people believe that the owners of racehorses treat their horses like ‘gold’ and never abuse them, and the reason why horses race are because they ‘are born to run’. I can tell you that those three statements are false, in almost all the cases, especially the later one. Racehorses are not born to run, they are born for money. Racehorses are not treated like gold and ARE abused. Their owners work them more then twice as hard as your everyday horse. Racehorses are abused with crops to force them to run faster. Researches have found, that At LEAST one horse from each race suffers physically. In almost all the cases that the horse suffers in, whereas the horse cannot be raced anymore, the good racehorses are sold for stud, but the others are euthanized.
Many have heard of the ‘all famous’ racehorse Sea biscuit. But one less known fact about him, is that he was raced 89 times, and only lived to be 15. Most horses can live to be 25.
Barbero’s last race ended with a broken leg. Commando, 1990 & 1991 horse of the year, died at age 8. Ruffin was raced after she broke and fractured her leg, broke her leg again in another race, and was euthanized at 3 years old. Black Gold, raced 35 times in 7 years. He suffered a quarter crack in his hoof as a four year old, but was still raced. He finished his last race on three legs, and then was put down at age seven. April 28, 2006. Miss Pretty Promise’s collapsed near the finish line and struggled to rise on her shattered forelegs. Dr. Stewart Marsh had taken one look at the grotesquely twisted legs and saw there was no hope of recovery. "Both front legs were broken," Marsh said minutes later, shaking his head as he walked off the track.
These are not the only ones.

My husband and I are just starting a horse business so that we can quit work and run it and a feed/tack stor full time. Well, we had a big solid black gelding that he bought me earlier this year... and I put it for for sale with the rest of the horses thinking no one would take him at first because he wasn'r registered like the others are.... but I needed it to look like we had a selection of horses for people to look at. Well, the first people who actually wanted to come out and see s horse wanted to see him. When they came, the wanted him. I knew I couldnt really say no because then my husband would think I wouldnt be able to handle selling the horses... well, they took my horse Sunday, and now I really want him back. I am willing to give them their money back, or they can trade him for another horse... if it is a more expensive horse, I will give them 100-200 more than that they paid for him on a trade allowance.

Or do you feed packaged dog foods and treats? Or both?

I've never cooked for a dog myself, but I found a fairly extensive cookbook (over 100 recipes) that's free to download and says it may be copied and given away - http://necessaryvirtues.com/recommends/dog-recipes

Some of the treats look kind of interesting, like Liver Brownies and Turkey Treats, but I'm not sure they're inspiring enough to make me want to expend the time.

So, do you cook for your dog(s)? Do you think the dogs know the difference? Do you have a favorite recipe to share?

and she tends to pick at it every so often. I know she's not trying to sleep...her eyes are wide open, and her behavior hasn't changed any. Is her foot just sore? Any input is appreciated. Serious replies only. Thank you!

His father (full maltese) was easy peasy and was trained by 8 weeks. This little guy is 4 months old and he is still having issues (although, I CAN see progress, he just doesn't 'ask' to go outside). This morning he peed on my bed! Is it possible that he has a bladder infection or something physically wrong with him? If so, what symptoms should I look for?
