He breaks out on his chest and his eye lids fold inward which irritate his eyes, which then get all crusty and a white or light green film is over his eye and he can't see. The Vet said because he is a large breed that happens sometimes with there eyes and they need surgery to be corrected. As far as the skin he just tells me to use a medicated shampoo and conditioner, but to wash him every couple months. Now I not a Vet but it seems to me that a dog should be wash atleast every two weeks. They get dirt just like we do, so does anyone have any suggestions, PLEASE let me know.

I just got a kitten and I want to make sure that he gets the best nutrition. However, we both share a loathing for wet(canned) cat food... I the smell, he the taste apparently. What sort of things and how often can I feed him so he gets all the nutrients he should be getting at his age?
Thanks

We think it is Cushing's disease. The lab work to confirm is $225.00. Then treatment. She is already in advanced stages.
Will treatment work or should I be happy for the 17 years with her?

Now i called the humane society told me over the phone that they have some cats declawed and some that are not declawed. I asked her if we picked a cat we liked that was declawed, would he be able to catch mice. She said "We dont adopt our cats out for pest control".
Why did she say this? Do you think i should go adopt anyway and not tell her my reasons for adopting? or do you think humane society cats are not effective for catching mice period? Do they train their cats to not catch any mice? please tell me. i have no clue....SERIOUS ANSWERS PLEASE

I don't understand. I for one am a cat person. I just don't really care for dogs at all. cats are soooo much more tolerable in my opinion than a dog is. they're prettier, quieter, less messy, know how to occupy themselves w/out being destructive, sleep more, and some are just plain lovable, you don't have to give cats a bath as much, they don't need walks, etc. whoever says cats smell are completly stupid!! yeah, their litterbox smells (if you don't clean it out daily)!! they say that cats are no fun. I say that if you've ever met my cats you would totally change your mind. mine are so sociable and love the company of people and my boy is soooooooo playful all the time. I luvvvvvv them both!! I believe that all these people who claim reasons why they don't like cats have never really owned a cat so therefore they can't judge. I used to be one of those people, I never cared for cats until I found my female. I didn't know how great cats could be. she changed my mind.

I am in Modesto and we have vets the treat birds but they are no certified which i feel is important, i would not take my horse to a dog vet just because he was willing to see it...
I am sorry but I am looking for anyone who can help me. I got a 6 month old Budgie 3 weeks ago. He is hand reared and VERY sweet. We bought him from an exotic pet store. He was the only male in a flight cage of around 20 other females and seemed quite playful. We brought him home and was told to leave him alone for two weeks. After two days i noticed that he was super quite and just sat on the bottom of his cage. I went back to the store we got him from and they said just wait a couple days and give him a toy, so I did, but the next day he stated wanting to close his right eye. So I went back to the pet store and they sent me home with Ornacyn Plus (antibiotic) and Millet. He was on the med for 5 days. His eye got really swollen and would not open at all for a while and got bad diarrhea, but

I have checked all the websites for this problem and even taken her to the vet. Her box is clean...I have a littermaid that scoops every time she uses it. And, she still uses it sometimes, but then she pees on this rug. I have changed the rug three times because I thought that would eliminate the smell for her to go back to. I don't know what else to do!

I have two daschunds. One male red "dappled" about 3yrs. old and one female red (solid) about 10 mos. old. their parents are full blooded also, but I don't know how to get them certified, or registered, what ever it is you need to show that they're pure bred. any help or advise is VERY much appreciated.

She's a black and white 'moggy' only kitten in litter. Her mother was tiny and her dad a huge b/w alley cat, quite wild!!
She'd never liked the 'top' brand iams etc, hates whiskas stuff, loves felix, not supermeat though. She eats 400g of tined each day, plus 100g of gocat complete, greeds titbits, steals fromthe dog's bowl too if he dares to have a snooze!. Loves chips and raw potatoes and will only drink from a running tap, never from a bowl.
She is lean, fit, playful, murders and tortures the local mice, frogs, spiders and birds. Bites me all the time, doesn't break the skin,.

She doesn't have worms and has no dental tartar at all.
Oh, and we had her spayed at six months cos she jumped out of the bedroom window looking for boys!

Is she the devil?
