you can make web pages for your dog similar to myspace and there's a version for cats too.

We are bottle feeding one of our puppies but she doesn't seem to be gaining weight with the replacement milk that we bought at the pet store. I was looking for something maybe with higher calories so she might gain a little more. This is a Chihuahua puppy

i have a 6 year old ferret that i can't take care of anymore. he's healthy but he's quite the handful. he's a biter and pretty antisocial. i'm a lot more busy now than when i got him, and it's not fair for him to be stuck in his cage as much as he is. i called a rescue place awhile ago and they said because of his age they weren't too sure about taking him(even though he could easily live another 5-6+ years), and they tried to make me feel worse than i already do. also, most people i know don't want him because he's a biter. he's not a bad ferret though, he was just mistreated when he was younger(the owners before me abused him). i took him so he wouldn't be put to sleep or abused more. does anybody know what i could do, where i could go, to get him a happier, safe home?

nothing to do with pets but it seems as good a place to put as anywhere else

I was never allergic when I was younger but after having my first child I became highly allergic and had to send my cat to live with my grandmother. When I visit my grandmother I react very badly with breathing difficulty, watering eyes, sneezing, etc... but she has several long hair cats. I just got back from a visit with my mother and she has a single short haired cat and I didn't notice any reaction, I did try to stay clear of him but he jumped right in my lap and I didn't so much as sneeze. Was this just a one time thing or is it possible that maybe I am not reactive to short hairs? I miss having a cat so bad. Is there a way I could be tested? Thanks for any advise.

I have a problem. I have 2 cats, litter mates. Boy and girl. I love them both but the boy and I are very close. The girl and I have a distant relationship. She is sweet occassionally but I can not pick her up or even have her next to me with getting scratched. I can not clip her nails without getting shredded. She is afraid of everything. I have her because when I was waiting for the boy to get old enough to take from his mom, my friend could not find a home for his sister. He begged me and repeatedly pleaded that I take the girl too. I refused for most of the nine weeks I was waiting but at the last minute I gave in as she had no immediate home and I thought it would be ok. But now it is 1.5 years later and I have tried to give her a loving affectionate home. But the older she gets the weirder she gets and I feel ridiculously guilty and as if I am a bad person but what can I do?

Should I keep a cat that I can not even get close too without getting scratched most of the time?

We had two, but one died a couple of weeks ago. Now all he does is lurk at the bottom of the tank, looking listless and sad.

My 4 month old rottie puppy has to get a test called ATCH. The doctor is doing this test because he has diareahea after eating unless he is on medication.
Does anyone know the prcoedure for this test, what disease it is looking for and how much the test costs.
Any information about the ATCH test would be really appreciated
Thank you

I'm interested in knowing what your experience has been with one dog as opposed to two (or more) dogs. I have a one-year-old Aussie and am interested in getting another dog but want to be aware of any pitfalls before I decide. Thanks!

I was curious if anyone else had this breed. It's still considered rare in the US so there isn't a whole lot of info out there. I've had to rely on what I've been able to find online. (We had to drive over 2 hours to even find a breeder that had puppies.) My pup is now 7 months old and was curious what health problems they've experienced.

I found an orphand kitten yesterday, it only looked about 2 to 3 weeks old and its eyes where seald with mucus so it couldent see at all. I gave it some food and water, and left it there. Today i went to go and see how it was doing and both its eyes were slightly open. so i put on some gloves and went to pick it up then i put it in a box with a hotwater bottle wraped up in old clothes(so it woudent burn her feed)but it could jump out, so i tranported it to where my land lord used to keep sheep. the doors are lockble so my kittens cant get in. im worred that the kitten might have lukimea and i am trying to keep my kittens and away from the orphand kitten.i cant afford to take it to the vet, and i really dont know what to do with it??i would love to keep it but if it has lukimea then i cant. how do i tell?

If not, you should get one. :o They're quiet and they may possibly live longer than you so you don't have to worry about them dying after a few years.

Don't people realize how unhealthy it is for animals to be overweight. and how easy it is to keep them from getting over weight.

why is it that people think that fat cats are adoriably cute, I think it's sad, it's total abuse! if you saw a person walking down the street that was fat you are probably the same people that think that's nasty and will make fun of them.

It's not that hard to have feeding times instead of free feeding your cats. Not a good thing, cats that are free fed are much more likely to get fat

it's not that hard to play with your cats, get them moving, have them chase a string toy, or bat some balls around etc.

Each year hundreds of innocent mares and foals are slaughter unnecessarily by The Wyeth Drug Company. The company manfactures the drug Premarin which is used as a hormone therapy in women. Premarin is a pill made from pregant mare urine. The company funds ranches to have these mare kept pregant to get their urine, The mares are kept in awful and inhumane conditions. Once the foals are born they are no use to the company so they are slaughtered along with the mares that can no longer make their quota. There are other alternatives to this drug that work the same, and the company's practice is unnecessary and cruel. Please help and sign the petition to end this cruel practice. Go to www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction and look for PMU Mares and foals, its under animal welfare. Please help.

I've had my fish tank set up for about 9 days now. When i first started the tank i put bacteria supplement and waterconditioner. Then 3rd day it fogged up and its been clear for about 4 days now. I will put a heater in it and let it heat up for about 6 hours and then go and buy the fish (guppies). Before I buy the fish, should I do a water change (i have tap water, so do I have to put water supplemtna and bacteria supplement again in the new water I will add or will that make it fog up again?)
Also, should I let the water that I will add in for water changes rest in another tank for about a day before I add it in? I am a first time fish keeper and need all the help I can get.

I want to get another cat? What kind should he/she be? What gender? How should I introduce them?
Kicha, my cat, thinks she's the Queen of our house and the only animal she's gotten along with was my dog, but my grandma took our dog eight months ago, so Kicha's not used to any other pet.
