My cat has been less active than normal and is running a temprature of 104. She is eating (somewhat less than usual) and using the liter box. She seems to have lost some weight. Her brother is showing no symptoms.

Other than dog, cat and fish. I need suggestions for pets that are interactive. Fish is not interactive of course. What are bird types that make good pets, I mean that don't bite, smell and easy to handle?

I have just recently adopted my Aunties cat. In the past she was a bit plump and it would seem that my Aunty put her on a diet, She eats one tablespoon of cat meat twice a day with a handful of biscuits. She never eats all the meat and after three days I am throwing at least half a handful of biscuits away too. My Aunty was also giving the cat one teaspoon of cod liver oil in her meat twice a week too as she has dandruf from when she was a bit chunky and couldn't reach to clean herself.

My boyfriend and I think its odd that she eats so little as all the cats I have had in the past have eaten a tin of food a day with biscuits on top and have never ended up over weight. She was also sick this morning and (sorry to go in to details) but it had lumps of her meat in it!!!

She was also very unsettled last night, i.e. couldn't get comfy and was fidgety on the sofa when normally she's fine.

Am I worrying for nothing do you think???

It was fine just 2 days ago. Yesterday I tried to feed it but it refused to eat. I noticed the wtaer was extremely filthy (it had gone through 2 weeks of no 100% water change) so I decided to completely rinse out the tank and change the water. I transferred it into a little bowl for 14 hours but at the beginning it started to look pale.

His color was restored once I transferred it back to the 1/2 gallon tank with dechlorinated water, but it still refused to eat. I tried giving him some of his ordinary pellets again several minutes ago. but he always takes them, chews on them, and then spits it back out. Sometmies he goes back to eat it but then spits it out once again. I am scared he will suffer from starvation. What is wrong with him?

Some other symptoms I've noticed: He remains at the bottom sometimes, or at the surface in a corner behind the plant. His head looks discolored and weird does not match the rest of his body. Is the water too cold or is there more to it??

I have a Mini-Pinscher, about the size of a Jack Russell for those who haven't heard of them, and his breath is bad due to his teeth needing cleaning and care. My wife and I have tried cleaning them using 'dog toothbrush and toothpaste', but he hates it and gets quite upset when we try..........

Any ideas??

I know they eat live insects but i can't have a bunch of bugs running around. will he eat dead bugs? I tried to leave out some bread crumbs but i guess he doesn't eat that either. Also i live on a small island where there are no pet stores where I can buy dead bugs or anything. Please help me keep my wayward gecko alive.

hey, we're relatively new fish people, and was told that we could feed our Flowerhorn Cichlid live cockaroachs and beetles. Is this true? If so, how big can the bugs be? the fish is now about 10- 15 cm long and about 10 months old

I have three pangasius catfish in my aquarium but they are not eating anything since I brought them a month ago. On a website I also read that there should be 1 or 6 pangasius catfish for best survival. Is it true?
I feed them:
Floating Pellets
Sinking Pellets
Flake Food
Blood Worms
Tubifex Worms
Are these foods sufficient? If not, then please tell me some another food that they can eat!

Sometimes my puppy will just go out into the rain and stand there, then again sometimes she refuses to go out and whines afterwards. She whines because she has to go to the bathroom, any ideas how i can get her to just run out in the rain, do the deed and run back?

I have tried everything to get my dog to stop soiling the floor but he won't stop. He is about 6 to 6 1/2 months old male Chihuahua. He used to be so good about going in his litter box when we first got him for a about a month and then all of a sudden he started to go on the floor every where. I have tried sprays and powders and cleaning and showing him his litter pan and telling him "potty" but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions out there would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
