I am researching the parakeet because I am really thinking about buying one and I was wondering if the tempuratre of the home mattered because some people tell me that they can freeze to death and i would hate for that to happen. Also if you know of any good sites to visit let me know. THanx in advance

My minpin has large purple spots on his tounge and everywhere I cheked I can't seem to find the answer or a picutre showing one with the minpins tounge hanging out. A lady I talked to once said she was watching the dog wispher and there was a minpin on there and it had purple on its tounge . I have never seen any other dog besides a chow with purple on it's tounge. That is the reason for my question. Is my dog full minpin or is he a mix?

My friend has a cat named Mammal, he also has a nick name for her, it's Beast! Isn' that a strange name for a cat? By the way his cat is the coolest laid back cat I've ever met---reminds me of good ole Garfield!!

My kitten (4 months old) has the WORST gas quite frequently. We are sure she has some type of worm - as she is outdoors and eats mice daily. Since she is outdoors and there is no way to curb her rodent catching and eating (which she loves), is there any effective way to treat her worms? What type of worm do you suppose she has (tape/hook/round)? I've looked into getting Tape Worms Tabs, which are an over-the-counter form of Droncit, which is for tapeworm, or Erliworm, which are chewable tabs and treat roundworms. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Also - she is a very healthy and active kitten aside from the gas/worms. She eats normally and is a healthy weight.

someone sugested i take a shower or buy a humidifyer for my rats, the shower would involve them being on the counter while the shower produced steam or fog, and this is supposed to healp with my rats congestion, he makes this clicking noise sometimes in his nose, and i think he has mycoplasmosis, the really really sad part is i can not afford his treatments, i dont know what to do, i know you may say, just get a job, but that would break child labor laws, and my parents cant even afford thier medical bills, the vet isnt an option, but its the first on the list for when i do get money, but i dont think he can wait it out long enough, he has kinda become lethargic, he sleeps alot while his brother runs araound when i turn on the light, the beding produces no dust of any kind, and its like a paper cardboard recycled clumpy stuff, no dust, they live in a fish tank, 10g with a cage on top, would me taking a 5 minute shower help thier comgestion?

I have an 8 week old kitten. She uses the litter box during the day. At night she sneaks in my room and pees in my bed about 5 am. I took her to the vet and she was treated for a tapeworm and roundworms. Ever since she was wormed she has been peeing in my bed. This is the fourth night after the medication and she still pees. Should I get rid of her?

I'm adopting a kitten that was born eyeless. I wanted to know if anyone here knows of any complications she may face in the future?

I know she has a high possibilty of getting infections, and she will most likely have her eyes sewn shut. I work at a vet's office, but I want others opinions, especially owners that have had a simillar situation.

thanks!!!

the cat that we had 14 years ago when we got divorced. She is now 18 years old and he kept her in the basement where it is damp and cold for the last 4 years. When I saw her the litter box was overflowing and her water bowl was dry. I basically stole her from out of the house. I have taken her to the vet and the groomer for a bath. I live almost 200 miles away from my ex-husband. He is mad that I took her. She is doing wonderful at my house. She is very old so she sleeps alot and craves attention which I give her alot of. Do you think I was wrong?

I need to know because I have children and pets who play outside sometimes. Also, there is a black racer that hangs out in a particular area of our yard.

My husband has disposed of a rattle snake and copperhead and a water moccasin in the last year. If the racer takes care of rattlers we will leave him alone.

Also, if the worms were roundworms (which is what my husband seen in the stool), can my 4 year old some how catch them from playing with the puppy?

Has anyone used Advocate by bayer in the treatment for Demodex mange? Its used the same as Advantage and it`s for fleas, ticks, ear mites, different manges. I came across this on the web and have called many vets in my area and none of them are carrying it. I would love to know if anyone has used this for mange and did it cure it. My vet said he would check on it this week to see if he could get it. Thanks

i bought a Chihuahua from a pet store in the mall and paid full price for a pure breed chihuahua. i have began doubting that he is a chihuhahua b/c he has gained up to 9 lbs. and a lot of his charateristics are not chihuahua. i was told by the vet that it is possible that he is a shiba inu mix. i don't want to make a big stiff about this if he is indeed a pure breed. please help.
