I have heard about pits attacking children, but I love the breed. She is very sweet but I am scared to let my son around her. I am worried about what she would do. She is very playfull with me and other people that live in the house, should I let my son around her?

I have a new 10 week large breed dog, saint bernard/mastiff mix and was wondering what you recommend for feeding it? Also are veggies and fruits ok to add to his diet? And what about raw hide? My boyfriend told me it can cause trouble in their intestines if they eat it?

I used to have 2 cats, the younger liked to suck his brother's chest as if he's sucking his mother's for breastfeeding..and the other seemed to enjoy this "breastfeeding" session!! Can any one explain?

I've seemed to grow out of it my asthma for the most part. I used to develop wheezing just about all the time, but as I've gotten older, It only comes when I'm doing something strenuous or around a trigger.

I'm allergic to cats, and have mild seasonal allergies (typical runny nose and itchy eyes, but nothing major, and it doesn't last for weeks, only as the seasons change)

I USED to develop an itchy rash, get a very stuffy/runny nose, itchy eyes, etc. AND wheez very badly if I went near a cat.

Heres the problem:

My boyfriend and I recently got a kitten, and I'm not itching from him at all. My nose isn't really runny or stuffy (ive been taking some claritin), eyes arent watery, but my asthma is acting up every once and awhile.

My doctor put me on flovent, and gave me albuterol to use as needed. How long does flovent take to kick in?

Has anyone been in this situation? and my stupid doctor basically told me to just give away my baby. Obviously, this isn't an option - help! :(

My cat was alright this afternoon and now I just noticed she cant give 2 steps without get her legs crossed and fall down, like if she was very drunk. They are painting the walls outside so she might have drank something, and we have crazy neighbours too and they might have gave her something toxic cuz she lives outside. It's 1 am so there are no veterinaries open, what can I do? she eats but she didnt drink water, should I try to make her drink something to disolve the toxines? what can I offer her that she will for sure drink? like a tasty liquid they can drink? or what can I do??! she looks real bad.

I have had my kitten for about a month. I have witnessed my 3 year old maItese mix eating from litter box several times. My dog has plenty of fresh food and water at all times.

her chin feels like it's scabbed over when i itch it for her and then she pushes my hand away and goes at her chin herself with her front claws...today she was scratching it with her back legs until it began to bleed...i've found lots of things about feline acne but could it be anything else? maybe a fungus? i really want/need to take her to the vet but my family's financial situation is kind of cramping that right now...

My friend gave me her dog 2 days ago. As far as I am aware he did not have any fleas at the time ( she has 2 other dogs and they don't have fleas, and all of the dogs never have.) Yesterday I took him to the groomers and they didn't say anything about fleas, which I would assume they would have. Anyways today my 6 month old son has 2 groups of 3 little red bumps, one group on his arm, and one on his leg. I didn't even think about fleas until my father watched him and said that he had a couple little bites and they kinda looked like flea bites. So now the real question is does anyone know how fast fleas can come into the home, to bite humans. My fiance and I have both checked the dog and found nothing, but I'm wondering if this even sounds like fleas or what? Thanks for everyones imput!!!!

Do I take it out of the tank now .. if it is this "bladder" thing .. can the other fish catch it from him ? Do I leave him in the tank overnight to see if he gets better ? .. I don't have an emergency tank .. no other place to put him. I had the water tested about 4 days ago and everything was fine. Anyway .. are the chances good that the other fish get sick if I leave him alone tonight ? Or take him out now ? Thanks ..

I'm thinking in terms of temperment, trainability, etc. I also imagine they need a lot of exercise

So my Boxer is almost 7 weeks old and I don't know if this is a puppy her age.

first off shes not very playful she would rather sleep in a corner than play. I have a 2 yr old and she will play around with him some but after about 5 mins she calls it quits and goes back in the coner to sleep.

also 2 nights ago we were playing with her and she was actually a little hyper for once and when we all went to bed i put her in her crate to sleep. In the morning when i went to let her outside she would not put much pressure on her front left paw and when she would she would limp. After a little while she began to walk and play like nothing was wrong with it. This morning she was walking and she seemed to trip up over her feet or something bc she just kinda fell over. but got up and walked normal afterward. I just got home and when i was feeding her she did not want to put pressure on her back right leg. I am bringing her this weekend to get her shots and see the vet for a puppy check up.

I have always wanted to know because she always leaves little red marks everywhere. She is a terrior mix, and the sweetist dog in the world.

My girl has 2 big dogs, a lab and a doverman. I have a cat. She has a crate for when we are at work. They are constantly dumping and pissing on the floor, on the furniture and everywhere in between. The place smells like heavy amonia and when I aproach her appartment the gaseous cloud hits me before I even enter. I am sick of it, but when I bring it up she gets her feelings hurt. I am at my wits end and my head is not getting enough oxegen so please excuse the spelling errors. I bought an air filter and I run it at max, but even with this it does not help. I like her so I do not want to get up and go, so how can I explain to her that small apartments and big annimals just do not work in the most political and polite way possible.

I have a male betta fish and i have had him for two years now. I just saw him do something i have never seen him do before ( or i just never noticed it.) Immediately after i fed him, he opend his gills around his face/head (whatever) and it looked like a "crown" i guess you could call it that went all the way around his face. What does this mean? I was watching him eat through the side of the tank, was he maybe intimidated by me watching him or something?? I dont know.. maybe you do
