the vet is a jerk and dumb, ive met him once and would NEVER bring my pets there, but he was cheap and still lives in the 1950's with his methods. Is the death the fault of the vet or not

Does anyone have a small breed dog that they got when their child was a toddler? What breed and what are your experiences with it? Most dogs will do fine with kids if they are raised from puppyhood with them. Just looking for some experiences. Thnks

I need some tips on the best way to discipline a 2 year old, neutered, male shih tzu who bites sometimes. He'll bite when trying to put his leash on or when brushing his hair on his legs which he doesn't like touched. Is smacking his butt ok? Is verbally adminishing him the best? Isolation? I want to do what is best and most effective and humane.

Pit bull's, most of the friends and family memebers i've spoken to who have been "visciously attacked" by a dog, including myself, none have been pits, i admit there are attacks by pits but the problem is they never give up. Raised right and not given the chance to get lose and attack most pits live a good, non-agressive life. To ban certsain breeds of dogs for their history is insane, it's a dog not a convicted murderer. Raise your dogs better, and keep an eye on the kids, shouldn't it then be okay?

Rory, my beloved 5 year old Great Dane has become intolerable when I take him for walks. He is constantly sniffing women's crotches and pulling me into people's yards when they are having BBQ's. When he sniffs something (such as a pile of doggie doo, or a woman's crotch) he plants his feet and digs in and no amount of pulling will remove him from the task at hand. It is so embarrasing. He needs excercise, but he often pulls me across the highway to investigate a dog on the other side of the road! Please offer advice, because I dread going for walks now.

She is maybe a chiweenie or chipin mix, who is at age either 1.5 or 2.5 she was a recue, is suddenly losing her hair on her head and ears, chest, and belly. Poor thing! The vet tested for mange, dermodex twice, and thyroid. She did a prescription of antibiotics with no results. He says a pet dermotologist is next. $$$ I have looked all over the web for info, with no results. Please help Nola!

i got him about a month ago. I thought with time he would get better but he just doesnt seem to like people. He gets along great with the other cat and cuddles n plays with him but if i try to pet or touch him he runs away or hisses at me. I have barely held or touched him in a month, I dont even feel like i have a kitten. I think I may give him up because I have no idea what else to do. I try to put a treat in my hand he will run up snatch and run away, i try talking calmly and playing he just wants nothing to do with me. Any ideas?

I've tried different brands and end up with the same result. She sniffs then walks away. I "hand feed" her and she eats out of my hand. How can I get her to eat out of the bowl? I've even tried changing the bowls and have placed her food on dinner plates, cereal bowls, etc., and nothing works. I won't give her treats thinking she'll eat her food but she will go without. So she'll eat, I'll hand feed her. What am I doing wrong?

I have been cleaning up my duck pond, and the submersible electric pump I have used to empty it so far really doesn't like the sludge that is left, and stops flowing.
Has anyone any suggestions for removing the rest of the water and sludge before refilling it? I suspect I will just have to put poly bags on my feet, go paddling and bail it out, but if there is an easier way suggestions are welcome.
The pond is about 3 metres by 2 meters, and about 18 inches deep. It is lined with a vinyl liner, so I have to be careful not to puncture it.
