He also has been sneezing some, seems to "cough" more when moving around. He was in a kennel a few weeks ago but does not cough when i press on his troat!
He hangs his head down to get the mucus to come up.
His nose is cold and wet, he is eating and acting normal other than the coughing which seems to slow down his ability to play!
He is still eating.

For the second time in just a few months, my aquarium filter's motor has burnt itself out. :(

Does anyone know why a dog would be so congested. She's a mini chuaua and she's 5 years old. She keeps hacking up phlem and seems to have trouble breathing. It's been for a couple of days now. We have been having a big weather change lately. But also, we are treating our 4 dogs for kennel cough. She didn't go to the kennel but she's being treated anyway. All the others are getting better.
Can anyone shed some light on the subject?

I have a 55 gallon tank with 10inch oscar and a 4 inch catfish. The tank bottom has black sand (from a pet store) and I'm struggling with the oscars poop. I have 3 overhanging filters and have their siphon tubes extended near the tank bottom-but still the oscar poop alwas gathers in the corner.

can someone recommend a filter for having sand ? I use a siphon gravel hose once a week, but would also would like a better filtration system. IDEAS?

He is an old dog about 8 years old, and is a free-spirit. (I wouldn't really replace him BTW).

I've a 50 litre tank with adequate filtration and originally four small fancies in (now only 2 remain a black moor and choc oranda). I've been keeping fish for quite a while now and so was surprised when my other fish died. They showed no outward signs only listing on one side yet with normal bouyancy, therefore ruling out swimbladder. I have put a tonic in the water and this seems to help although particulary the black moor quickly deteriorates again. The choc oranda seems fine except will lie in the bottom corner occasionally. I've had a few suggestions given one being to slightly increase the water temperature, or keep it constant to avoid stress. The water has been tested and all levels of ammonia etc are fine. Has anyone any ideas i'm a bit lost on this problem? Thanks

Is there really such thing as a bird/bee? I know of a bird dog, but what would the birds and the bees make? Well whatever it is, I am afraid!

I had heard to start with the small fish to cycle your tank, then to add the bigger fish later. But the lady at petco, said that you can't add bigger fish because then the ones that are already there will try and establish dominance. So what do i get first the 3 little platys or the 2 bigger gouramis?
and is 3 platy's (2inch) and 2 guoramis (dwarf, 3 inch) to many fish for a 12 gallon tank?

One of my guppies was on the bottom of the tank this morning, very much alive, but seemingly unable to swim. I came home on my lunch break and he is still on the bottom and keeps thrusting in to the water, only to sink again.

he doesn't seem bloated at all and his fins don't appear damaged (although it's hard to tell with him sitting on the bottom)

He is about a year old, so it may be he is just old, but i've never seen this before, and he is very energetic and healthy looking, only he can't swim.
