My little brother is 6, we've had Patches for about two years now, she has always been sensitive around her stomach, cause she's fixed. Anyway, i get mad at my brother because he's kinda rough with her, this time i saw him, he gently petted her head, and she tried to scratch him. I pat her head and say "no" (because its worked before when i potty trained her) but, she's already scratched him one, too many times...how can i fix this?

my cat has recently had kittens and they are now 3 days old, i want to hold them so they get used to human contact but am afraid that she'll disown them if they smell like me.

My little boy really wants a puppy. I don't know what kind to get. Don't want one too big, but it will be strictly outdoors (we have a heated dog house) so can't be a nasty little poodle or something either. :) We have two cats so need something that's not going to go after them. We are gone during the day and only want one dog. Don't want a barker! Anyone have any good suggestions?

My cat stinks up the litter box so badly it wakes me up at night. I open the windows and try to take care of it as soon as possible, but is there any easy way to cut down on litter box odor?

My pups have been house trained for about five months... they have a doggy door that they use very well... My baby girl is 6 months old on 9-28-06 and my mom came to visit with her 3 year old rat terrier male dog. Well when they left for the weekend, i found my baby Rylee peeing on the blanket that the male had slept on. However, Rylee doesn't seem to do that with Bailey (my boy dog)... So I thought it might have just been a slip up. Well last night, I caught her peeing on the new bed I brought home for them... Do I just need to do more house training when I thought she already was or is there something else going on?! Thanks guys

i have a 6 month old kitten, he is always playful, demanding, mouthy and just plain fun! but for some reason on sundays hes very finiky, skidish and just independant when he's usually relying on me for everything...whats his problem? i swear he's starting to take on my boyfriends chararistics that he has on sundays because of football...i was thinking it might be because my bf is always yelling at the tv when the game doesnt go the way he wants...he is afraid of him now even though the yelling is not towards him. This morning he was back to his usual self, and im sure he will be until sunday again...what can i do?

Last february i went to a shelter and looked around for a dog and i found this little chihuahua. I named her daisy and she was scared at first which i knew was normal but ever since then she doesnt want to be held by or touched by anyone but me. The shelter said that she was 4 or 5 years old and that they found her walking on the streets and that she might have been mistreated. I live with my parents and both of them thought that if they spent time with her then maybe she would be better but she always hides and barks at them. I'm leaving for college in the fall and my mom said that i'm probably gonna have to get rid of her since she doesn't like anyone. I would feel really bad if i had to give her away after all she has been through. Please let me know if there is anything i can do to change this behavior

I have a usually pretty active betta fish that needs help. last week I put him into a small bowl so i could clean the big tank and he still seemed active but played dead once, very hard to get him up and swimming. Yesterday the tank was fully cleaned, watered and conditioned so he went in and was enjoying all the space. later, I noticed he was keeping his head in the gravel. late in the night I went to feed him and noticed he wasn't coming up. I tried to get his attention by moving the net around his tail. he wasn't darting off as usual just slowly swimming away. then I noticed two large white spots on his head. not like a bubble but like a tear in his skin with white cotton underneath. I woke today to find him on his side at the bottom of the tank and his right eye had at least doubled in size but he isn't dead. 1: white spot on head; 2 &3: big eye; Picture: http://images6.theimagehosting.com/peterhelp.jpg

There are about ten dogs in my neighborhood, and they are all barking at and totally disrespecting my very well behaved pet--AND I DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL !!

IT'S ALL GROSSLY UNFAIR !!

My pet's name is Bob, and he is a still-growing two-ton T-Rex. He is SO loveable and cute, you cannot believe !!! And he stays in my yard and plays with his oversized beachball and the city bus he dragged home the ONE DAY he got out of the yard.

OK, I"m sorry! I forgot that Bob ate a few cats the first week I had him, and for some reason the Johnsons next door abandoned their home in the middle of the night and haven't been heard from since--but what the hey!! If they want to be speciests and show their bigotry against dinosaurs, then that's their loss and none of mine.

Bob even sleeps most of the time, OK? Give him 100 pounds of cow to munch on and within an hour, he's dozing off.

So, how can I get the neighborhood to adjust to Bob, huh? How can I get the dogs to shut up, OK?

HOW!!!

My 8 month old kitten lost a friend recently so I got him a 6 week old male kitty as a playmate. Now he jumps on top of him and licks him all over, even his butthole and penis. The 6 week old trys to fight him off and runs away but he chases him down grabs him again and licks away.

We go camping quite often and take him with us. He's getting more and more unhappy when we go - but it's just the going and coming home. He's fine in the camper. We're just looking for something that will make him a little mellower while traveling.

My 6 mo Scottie puppy was neutred on Friday. I had adopted him and with the cost of the adoption his neuter was included. I had to take him to a Vet that the adoption agency used.
Friday night one of his stiches popped. I called the vet and was told it should be fine (he has 2 stiches left).
Last night I caught the pup licking at it. I told him to stop immediatly which he did, but apon a closer look, the left side of the where the incision was made is red and a little hard and the area around his sack is red. It is not hot to the touch.
He is acting fine, eating as usual, etc.
I don't feel comfortable taking him back to the vet that performed the procedure, the place was 45 mins away, a whole in the wall & I think the a.c. was broken.
What should I do until I can get him into his usual vet?
Please help I am very worried.

Our black lab puppy is almost 5 months old... I know she's teething, she'll chew on anything. Last night we noticed something on the floor under her while she was chewing on a raw hide, it was a tooth! Is that normal? Do puppies loose teeth when they're teething?

My dog wants my attention 24/7. But because I have a life outside of hers, she barks like a maniac if I try to focus on something other than her! Can anyone help me? My sanity hangs in the balance!
