Is it really necessary to get vaccine boosters for dogs and cats every year? Somewhere I heard it is not.

I have a lot of green algae (I think it's bubble) in my saltwater aquarium. I also have red hair algae, but it's not as big a problem. The green is overtaking my tank! It's growing over my corals, it's even getting on my anemone! I scrape it off, vacuum it out, change the water, use chemiclean algae killer...IT KEEPS COMING BACK!!! How do I get rid of it? Please help!!

This morning my parents woke me up and my cat, Minnie, was very disoreinted.. My dad figures she has had a stroke.. she was very lost and scared.. it was like she couldn't see.. She was unable to walk straight.. but as soon as the door to my bedroom was opened she tried to make her way to my bed.. I am really scared and I don't know what this could mean.. She is the love of my life.. and I want her to live atleast until I have my baby so she/he can be graced with her precence.. I love my cat more than I love life. It sounds crazy but I would die for my cat.. She means the world to me.. I really need help.. we are taking her to the vet as soon as possible.. well.. I am taking her to the vet.. but of course.. the vet is closed due to the holiday..which makes me absolutely furious!

Wondering what brand or brands is the most nutritional for kittens. I'm thinking about organic raw meats, but I don't think I will be doing it all the time.

I live in Sweden and I have trouble finding a good brand of ferret food at pet stores here. I've read that most "ferret foods" are not really made/tested for ferrets and they're mostly just expensive cat food with a ferret on the label. Is there a good brand, actually made for and tested on ferrets, not cats, that i can find online in Europe? Shipping is really expensive, not to mention customs fees/taxes, if I order from the USA. Also, can someone give me ideas on what kind of treats I can feed my little stinky (male 5 months old) that are healthy for him?

My Siberian Huskey is still going through his puppy stages and loves to play with squeak toys but he tears them up in less than half an hour? Are there any out there that you might have heard of or own that are better made and will last a little longer?

Flying from California to Ohio with four cats. Will they be comfortable and well taken care of? What about connecting flights--are take-offs and landings harder for them? Should I anesthetize them?

I have a 55 gallon with 3 2" cichlids, 1 6" jack demsey, an algae eater, and a narrow black fish, don't know what it is but he has a hammerhead and my son calls him a shark, but he's not the typical silver type mini shark. He's 5" --> anyone know what he might be called?.

I have few fish & I haven't done a water change in quite a while -- about 10 months. We have very hard water so I know the water gets harder if you don't do water changes and just keep topping off the tank, however, all of the fish were happy anyway & I had no fatalities.

(1) I did a half tank water change 2 days ago. How soon can I add new fish?

(2) While vacuumming the gravel, as you can imagine, tons of particles fog the tank during my cleaning. I felt really bad. Is this bad for this fish? Is it hard for them to breathe?

(3) Is it normal for fish to open and close there mouth inside the tank? I never noticed but am nervous

(4) Can I add Oscars to my cichlid/jjack demsey tank?

Hi there, I rescued a galah about 3 years ago from the road, She had been struck by a car and was injured.
Since then i have kept her as she wouldn'tve survived back in the wild with the injury to her wing.

The last 4 months she has been plucking her feathers, mainly from her chest and her back, She now has no pink feathers in those areas, they are now white,fine and fluffy.
She lives in the backgarden in a large cage, About 6 ft high and 3 or so metres wide, This is under an apple an apricot tree.

She is fed wild bird seed, grass, bottlebrush & fruit, I have rang a vet to come see her, as it would be too hard to remove her from the cage, This is in about 3 weeks though,

What could be wrong with her, I have heard of the possibility of a disease spread through foot and beak within wildbirds. She has a few times had wild birds in her cage when there was a gap.

How could i treat her?

Thanks in advance.

We've had our Jack Russell Terrier for 3 weeks now and it's constantly shedding! I asked my vet if this was normal and he said "It will shed when it's nervous". He wasn't much help. I've looked up info on this breed and nowhere can I find info on it's shedding habits. Can anyone help?

Oh Henry!




Hi, my name is Henry. I am 14 years old, and boy, do I love computers! Go ahead, I’ve heard the snickers before. People think I am from Mars or the Milky Way because I love computers. Even my sister (I call her Baby Ruth) thinks that I am nutrageous. She always says, “I don’t see what you find fun about those whatchamacallits.” Who needs sisters anyway?
You see, I am all butterfingers so I don’t fit in at sports. I can’t hold on to a ball to save my life. Therefore, computers are perfect for me. I think of my mouse, my keyboard, and me as the 3 musketeers. So, every time I think about computers, I get so excited that I do tootsie roll!
Laugh now. It’s okay. When I grow up I want to be a computer programmer. You wait until payday and see the mounds of money that I’ll be making! We’ll see who’ll be laughing at whom then.


The End.
