I'm a new entrant to the wonders of the world of aquariums. I've just set up my tank and had it running with plants and gravel in it for the last three weeks. I was told by the aquarium shop that I needed to leave the water for two weeks before adding fish - which I have done - yet when I tested the nitrate levels yesterday, they were still way too high. I've had the filter buzzing away for the last three weeks and have added the suggested liquids to the water. So.... I'm pretty confused as to what I now need to do in order to get the nitrate levels down. Please help!!!

I have a 9 year old golden/husky cross. I had a baby in June and had to move. I left him in the care of my boyfriend and though my boyfriend takes the best care of him he can, he isn't home that often. I try to get out there once a week to visit, but my car is broke down right now so I can't visit very often. Skeeter is not eating well and is becoming super depressed. I have him visiting for the week but he cannot stay. I am trying desperately to find an apartment but I have found almost none that will let me take my dog and the ones that do I wouldn't want to live in. I cannot give him to someone else he would be heartbroken. I feel so badly. There is not much I can do until I find a place that will let me keep him. Any advice?

I have what i have diagnosed as a hookworm larva on the top of my foot - under the skin. I must have got it in mozambique at least five months ago. It is supposed to die because it cannot complete its lifecycle in humans. It did disappear but is now visible as a small red track that is itchy.

My cat Bagheera never pesters me when I am eating...EXCEPT when I finish a late shift and grab a McDonalds! At this moment he is climbing all over my workstation trying to nab my Sausage and Egg McMuffin! And as many times I say No, your not having this one! I always relent and end up with just the egg and muffin!

Our 12 y/o Golden/Lab mix has stopped eating. We think he has a bleeding gastric ulcer. No appetite, nausea, black stools, etc. He has gone from about 95 lbs to 65 lbs. He is so weak. Our vet gave a course of Sucolfate but that didn't really seem to have much of an effect. What should we expect, what should we do and when?

My pitbull doesn't seem to understand how to play fetch. She runs to get the toy, but doesn't want to let go & has more fun getting me to try to pull it away from her.
