would you buy or sell your pet online, in a site similar to ebay for pets, where people can bid to buy your pet or you can choose with pet to buy. What risks do you see in this kind of business?

I have a siberian husky-mix. one of his parents is a white-german shepherd, the other is a husky. however, he doesn't act like a normal dog at all....he doesn't listen, he's not afraid of the things dogs are afraid of (fire-trucks, fire-crackers, etc..) and he will attack anyone. we've been to the vet, and he couldn't give any information about this. how can you tell if a dog is part wolf?

I just got a new kitten, and I noticed that she has 2 little bald spots on her face. It's not really in a circular pattern, and its not scaly. I got her from a breeder, she is a purebred and was very expensive. I am wondering if this is ringworm, or if it could be something else. I am going to call tomorrow to make an appointment at the vet to get it checked out, but I am super paranoid about it and just need to know if there is any other reason why a cat would have bald spots.

I am looking for any suggestions on sites, people to talk to, places to go, options, I am running out of them. Our place is gonna be more than just a pet store, it is gonna be like a humane society, a non kill one. We are also looking for places to go for cheap pet supplies. All ideas welcomed.

My poor baby is in trouble! I have a nine year old comet that is now swimming on his side. Most likely a swim bladder problem (I haven't had any other food for him other than stupid flakes and havne't been soaking them before adding) but could possibly be something else.

All chem levels are fine and the other two babies look ok.

I need to know how to save my poor Speckles. I did a partial just in case I missed something. He has proper filtration and if you've read any of my posts, you know how adament I am about tank size and goldies.

Please please help!

or is it wrong for your puppy to do so, my puppy does it a lot and from time to time I kiss him but not on the mouth, what do you think? Different people tell me some weird stuff, I don't know what to think. I don't think it's wrong.

I have guppies and they're all healthy ( I hope), few days ago did a partial water change. After the change all my guppies start swimming on one side of my aquarium, they would never venture to the other side.Because I fear something is wrong with water, I checked the parameter, but the results are all fine.
What causes this? I've never seen them like this before. Any ideas?

I have had my cat (Leia) for about a year and I love her dearly. However I live in student accomondation and it is time to move out and into a proper apartment and they don't accept cats anywhere in Canberra! I looked into group houses and they're the same. I love my cat but i can't let her rule my life, I am also single now so I live by myself and go out a lot and so the cat is sometimes left by itself from like 9am till 9pm or later. I have set a lights to come on when it gets dark but i don't think this is good enough, also when I come home the cat always wants to play but i am never in the mood to play for long (always tired, I work fulltime). At this rate I can't go away without having to board the cat and I feel guilty that she doesn't see me much, but i need my freedom, I am only 21 and not married to my cat, nor do I want to live that way. Should I give the cat up for adoption? Would this be the humane thing to do? I do love and cuddle her and play with her lots, but not enough

Why do certain people, that obviously have no clue about fish care, tell people that their fish has ick/ich when they clearly don't? And then to tell them to buy medicine? You (and you who you people are) suck. Don't give advice if you don't know.
So, in a nutshell, if your fish has ick/ich it will look like it was sprinkled with salt. There's various ways to treat it, meds from a pet store such as rid-ich, formalin, etc. But read the labels, because some Tetras, cory cats, loaches, scaleless fish can get seriously burned/die from it. You can also slowly (1 degree an hour) raise your tank temperature to at least 82 degrees and add AQUARIUM salt (not kitchen, table, rock salt) which is also picked up at the pet store, with dosing instructions on the package. Again, certain fish cannot tolerate salt, most of what I've typed above. Now, here is a link all about ick/ich, everything and anything you ever wanted to know (stole it from you Sly from AC).

she's been doing #1 and #2 on the carpet. it smells disgusting. i can't take it!!! i rarely catch her in the act though. i've tried many ways to deter her. and i've tried many ways to encourage her to use her litter box. she used to use it. the vet thinks she just likes the feel of the carpet better. any ideas?

What is the physical difference between dogs and humans that is holding them back from being able to...be smart like us? (I know humans start wars and it's questionable if we are smart, but I'm asking about brain capacity...what makes them different?)
