I have a small chihuahua who I have been housetraining. She has only had a few accidents but unfortunately in the same corner on my beige carpet. I have used a product called "Natures Miracle" but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Can anyone PLEASE recommend something to me?

I was wondering, my son has a Syrian hamster and he has had his cheeks full of food for about an hour or more now. We have only had him for about 5 days but can anyone tell me if there is something wrong with him that would cause him to fill his cheeks like this for so long???? Please help. A little reassurance that everything is ok would be wonderful!

Has anyone bought a GoGo brand exercise pen before? They are available through amazon. I am looking for an exercise pen to go in my house that is at least 36in high. (my "miniature" schnauzer managed to jump out of the 24inch). I am looking for a lower cost alternative to petsmart (which is like $80).

I like the pens because he has plenty of room to play during the day when i am not here....

I so so badly need to get my dog back. Its unbearable. How horrible is it of me to want to ask for him back. If you had read my other post you will know what im talking about. I know I should leave him there but I cant seem to stop crying and thinking of him.

I am curious if you have had or know about having a cats teeth removed. I have a 12 year old cat who has very bad dental disease and the vet recommended having her teeth removed. She is strictly an indoor cat. Would this be a bad thing to do? Will it be hard for her to eat? I have read that they adapt well, but I am just not sure. I want her to live another 12 years (at least!) so I am trying to make the right decision! Thanks!

How long after a pregnant cat loses her appetite does she go into labor. She lost her appitite about 4 hours ago and is acting tired. She lost her mucus plug yesterday. (probably about 30 - 35 hours ago) When should she have the kittens? She is very young. Probably only one year old. I am fostering her for a place that saves cats. PLEASE HELP

I brought my Lab to the SPCA to have him neutered on Sunday so he would spend overnight at the clinic and get operated on Monday morning. During his time there he broke one of his canines almost clean to the gum by biting the cage. The vet tried to get in touch with me but wasn't able to reach me in time to ask if he removes the tooth while they were operating. Now he is telling me that I have to pay for the anesthetic to put the dog back to sleep with is $100 and plus having to pay for the tooth removal AND pay for anti-biotics. When you leave an animal at a vet in their cage, aren't THEY responsible for what happens to it? If he was freaking out as they claim, shouldn't they have done something to try and calm him down? Do I pay the bill or are they responsible?

we found our dog outside dangling by his chain. we promptly took him in and gave him a warm bath and gave him some milk. when we set him down he walked around like he could not see ware he was going. he would hit a wall and just stay there. after a bit he would start to claw at the wall and then turn around. he was shakeing and acting like it was painfull for him to breath. we have put him in a laundry basket and surrounded by warm blankets. he has fallen asleep but i need to know wut is wrong with him. there are no vets around us that will see him. he is a wired hair terror. he is less than one one year old and we got him for our daughter. please help us.

I'm willing to keep him here as long as necessary, or take him to a refuge if that's what's best. What else should I do?

My dog Mac is a 4 year old Lurcher, who three weeks ago started to toilet on the floor. I moved him into the kitchen at night and he still persists. His routine hasn't changed, he still goes out for the toilet before he goes to bed but it makes no difference. The other morning he had poo'd on his bed and today having been left alone for 3 1/2 hours he poo'd and wee'd in the kitchen despite having been let out before hand.

I have tried treats and praise when he's good but to no avail. He's been smacked and ignored and now tonight he is in the kitchen without tea (he'll do anything for food!) as a punishment.

If anyone has any bright ideas about why after 4 years he's doing this, and especially how to stop it please let me know.
