My miniture schnauzer has allergies and is on immunotherapy treatments. I have been giving him an antihistamine for the itching but it does not seem to be helping. How does Benedryl benifit itching?

I recently adopted a parrot from a family member. This particular parrot, BaeBae an African Grey, is 22 and has never had his wings clipped, been to the vet, or even been out of his cage. (Yes, I know it's terrible! I hope to change all of this!)

I've had him about 2 weeks, and while he is eating very well and talking up a storm, he won't let me near his cage. He is a biter! I know this is because he is just not used to people coming to play with him.

I really want to be able to play with him and bring him in for a much needed check-up. I am absolutely not going to give up on him. I work with him every chance I get during the day (my poor dog is getting very jealous). Can anyone give me some advice on how to calm him down and stop the biting?

Now that it's not required by law to report a dog being run over, your beloved pet could be killed and you'd never know. Do they just sweep up the body without checking for micro-chips? If so, don't you think there should be some provision for checking before they are disposed of?

I have a 2 year old male neutered cat & I just bought a 6 week old female-- how can I get them to get along?
My male cat is very friendly and loving to people. He's a bit skittish but he has never ONCE hissed or clawed at any one. He has been around a good deal of other cats and dogs and gets along with them well. I just bought a 6 wk old kitten yesterday and he growls and hisses at her and then hides under the bed. I'm afraid he's being stressed. He is the only reason why I bought another cat and I'm concerned. What should I do? They've already seen eachother. Should I keep them in the same room now? Or still keep them separated? I don't see how my adult cat will cope if they're not around eachother?

In less than SIX MONTHS, two of the five Daschunds my family has, have had to have almost all of their teeth pulled. Hannah was the second. She just went back in to the vet today. They're going to pull most of the teeth on the right side of her mouth. The roots of her teeth were BLACK! Both her and her "sister" Daisy were adopted from the same breeder near Rochester,N.Y. At almost any given time, there can be as many as 60 dogs living at this "PUPPY MILL"! They even refused to give my one sister-in-law, Daisy's vet records. My brother-in-law, has also had vet bills for the other three dogs he has. Hannah's vet bill is $2,000! They also found a polyp on one of her ovaries. The results of the biopsy isn't in yet. I told Hannah's "MOTHER", she, her sister, and brother should consider suing these people on "Judge Judy". Maybe some public humilation could get justice for Hannah and her sisters!

I have a chocolate lab, he is 1 1/2 years old. My husband and I are thinking about getting another lab. Has anyone noticed any huge behavioral or training issues between chocolates, blacks, and yellows? I have been told chocolates are the most stubborn of the bunch, but I have nothing to compare him to. Anyone own a chocolate and a black or yellow?

I have been breeding guppies since about february, about 6 months now. Sometimes my fry (baby fish) are healthy and live to be beautiful adults, but sometimes they die. And the weird thing is, I always know when they are going to die because their tails kind of disintegrate, they dissapear, they go away... Its so weird. Usually, you know how fish tails are supposed to go out in a fan shape? well these fish's tails just go away, the tails just get thinner and thinner until they are really pointy and look like snake tails. So i call them "snake tail" fry. Whenever a fry has a snake tail, i know that it is always doomed to death because i have NEVER seen a snake tail fry live. Ever. They always die within a week or so, sometimes less.

I used to think that their snake tails were genetic, but it wasn't until recenetly that I began to think otherwise. I've noticed that usually the fry are born with normal tails, and when they are about 1-2 weeks old, (cont.)...............

My dog has a bark collar and it works fine. He still barks his head off at everything that moves (and some stuff that doesn't) outside of my house. His bark is so loud that you can hear it on the second floor behind a closed door with pillows over your ears. I don't know why the collar isn't even (?phasing?) him. Is he getting high off the electricity, causing him to bark more? Is he used to it by now, and doesn't give a crap whether or not 20 or so volts are coursing through his body? Or is it something else? Help plz!

This is my first question ever and I've enjoyed reading other peoples questions and responses. After 10 years without a dog, basically because I know how much time they need and consume I haven't felt like I could give them what they needed until now. I want a dog that I'm able to run with and I do a lot of hiking/outdoor activites on the weekends and I want a dog that will be able to join me on such adventures. I have had several different breeds in my life and have some pretty good experience training dogs but will probably read another book or two and maybe even enroll in an obedience class. I can come home from work during lunch to take the dog out around noon and will then return around 5 to go for an evening run. Is this enough activity for a JRT or will I be boring him? Thank you in advance.

In the past three days, shes thrown up three times, pooped on the floor twice, and urinated on the floor once. I noticed today she was also drooling alot.
And one of the times she threw up, she was so sick she couldn't move afterwards.
I had given her flea drops three days ago, but it isn't the first time I have used them, so I'm not sure if its an allergic reaction or not.
I don't know what to do to help her...

My parents had to have a talk with me, and said that every time a person masterbates, god kills a kitten. Since I am very alergic to them, and so many other people are as well, I think we should all masterbate so god will kill all the kittens in the world, eventually solving the problem of pet cat alergies once and for all.

My parents said it, so it must be true, so have I figured out a way to solve pet kitty allergies?

By the way, we dont have a cat, but the dumb neighbors one always seems to find its way over here.
