I took my 2 year old female budgie oout of her cage today, and her eyes went white around the edges and she went completely stiff, she's fine now and her usual self, but could she have had a seizure? This has never happend before, I haven't changed her diet or toys, so I don't know what happend.

My cat will jump onto the kitchen sink and meow until either my husband or I come and turn on the faucet for him and he will drink from the faucet for 5min or more. And his water container is less then 2 feet away from the sink? Is that crazy or just spoiled?

I just got my 8 week old shih tzu and hes wonderful! but i got him alot of different toys to play with, but he doesnt like playing with them...all he wants to play with is my feet (with socks) and the end of my pants. Its weird haha. I really dont mind, its just that when i leave he wines and gets bored because he has nothing to play with. I'm trying to play with him with the toys, but he just gets excited with my feet and starts playing with it..he ignores the other stuff. What can i do?!

My Chihuahua just gave birth to 6 healthy pups. At first we thought it was only one, but when we moved the blanked, we saw three. There were two black ones and one white one. But soon after we found out that it WASN'T two black ones, but three. That's 4 puppies. As soon as we saw the puppies, another one came along, and we left the room to give her privacy. We were shocked! Five puppies! When we came back a few minutes later, my mom noticed that she was licking herself too much, and asked me if another had been born. We check: 5 black ones and 1 white one! That's so many puppuies.Six nipples, six puppies! How can we take care of them and will all of them survive?

Has anyone used the grooming service at Petsmart? Were you pleased with the results? Value? Do you need an appointment? How long did it take?

Thanks!

I was wondering who has older horses, as in 35 years or older. I have a horse named Blaze who is spoiled rotten and he is very well cared for. I just wanted to ask if anyone else had horses like him.

FYI...animals spayed or neutered before they reach puberty are more likely to retain their docile adolescent behaviors. Where as animals spayed or neutered afterward tend to continue displaying those annoying adult dog/cat behaviors like marking territory, challenging for top dog/cat status and roaming.

This is why it is best to have them spayed or neutered before they reach 6 months of age.

Many veterinarians are performing these surgeries at 4 to 6 months of age and prefer this because they heal quicker and have less fatty tissue.

The last time I invited a breeder to my home and became involved with them I trusted them enough to watch my dog for a month while I moved, things went downhill. Upon moving and requesting my dog back, they reluctantly told me they lost him. I am now considering a new playmate for my Boxer, and the new breeder wants to see my home and family. I am uneasy, although I understand they want the best for their puppy. WHAT DO I DO???

I have a 3 month cream French Bulldog puppy. Right now his coat is very soft. I saw an older French Bulldog, and his coat was pretty harsh and rough. I am a novice about French bulldogs -

Is there any way I can help maintain his coat, as he grows older, to be soft and shiny as it is right now?

Thanks!

3-4 mountain minnows or danios
3-4 harlequin rasboras
1-2 kuhli loaches
some java ferns and some cryptocoryne plants

I would like to have the two kuhli loaches but am unsure about the others. Any help would be great. Of course I would start off with the danios or the minnows for a few weeks before I even think about adding the other fishes.

I adopted a dog two days ago.Today i noticed that when i turned him out to run and get some exercise he was squating every 3-4 minutes or so like he had to have a bowel movement,with no results.I know the obvious thing to do would be to call a vet,but the vet is out.Is there anything i can do?A home remedy that i could possibly do to open his bowels up and help him have a bowel movement?Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

My pekingese is 9 wks old and keeps chewing on fingers and toes. She has a tone of toys and doesn't chew on them. If I put tobasco on my fingers and toes will it stop her and will it hurt her stomach just to lick it?
