I have a Cairn Terrier * like todo on the Wizard of oz* However, he will pee and poop in the house right after i take him outside. I have stood outside and made him do his business and then brought him inside. This only leads to him doing more on the floor I have cleaned the tile flooring that he is on so there is no scent of any type and still he goes on the floor.. any suggestions??

I accidentally left the food bin open and Allie got into it. Based on the size of the hole dug out of the food, she ate about as much food as would fill a gallon milk jug. Her stomach is now very big and is bulging out past her rib cage, and she is burping a lot. She is a 7 year old yellow lab that weighs approximately 75 pounds. She usually only eats two measured cups of food a day, and maybe another half cup of Cheerios (one at a time for treats). How concerned should I be? Does anyone know how to tell if her stomach is going to burst, or if it does, how will I know?

I appreciate any comments. Thanks!!

She is having diarrhea and it's horrible. I can't get her to the vet tonight because it's too late and pet stores are closed. I don't know what to do. She hasn't had a change in her diet. She is an indoor cat who has had all of her necessary shots. Please help! I don't know what to do until I can get her to the vet! We gave her a bath earlier because it was all over her rear-end. Earlier she was scooting her butt across the floor. I feel so horrible for her. :(

He's just a kitten- about 7-9 weeks old. We adopted him a couple of days ago from a shelter and took him to the vet for his first check-up yesterday. He's sneezing and has gunky eyes. She said viral infections are airborne and are rampant at shelters and it should clear up on it's own. But for a kitten he seems to sleep too much. He was playful the first day we brought him home but now he's sleeping all day. He's eating okay though. Should I be worried? Could this just be him adjusting to our home?

My mare is obese. I think she gained a lot of weight as a result of eating whenever she wanted (ALWAYS) i think her previous owners kept her in a stall of barn and fed her limited food, and now that I have her there is no stalls to keep her in so she can't over eat.

I give her treats occasionally but always healthy ones like carrots or apples.

Does anyone know of a way i can slim her down so i can run barrels on her?

Thanks to all

I have had a panther grouper for about 2 months and he has always been very active. This last weekend he got big enough to try to eat one of my other fish. He got the fish almost all the way down before we caught him and he spit the whole fish back out. We immediately moved him to a separate tank we had been getting ready to move him to anyway. Now he just sits and the bottom breathing very very heavily. He isnt swimming or eating. I have tested the water several times and all of the levels are completely normal, and they are almost completely identical to the tank he was in before. Can anyone help me with why he is acting so sickly?

I'm getting a a puggle soon and was wondering if I litter box train him now, using either peepads or the litter so he will have a place to go at all times...then train him to go outside most of the time, but just have the litter box as a back up for when I'm not home?

What kind of heater, if any, will work in an acrylic fish tank. The tank is small, only about 2.5 gallons.

There are 4 large piles of horse crap in the road outside my house. Not only does it stink but there are flies buzzing round it and no doubt some motorcyclist will come down the road and skid off his bike because of it.

There are laws for dog owners who I believe can be fined £1000 for leaving dog mess in the road. I believe this should also be the case for horse owners. Anyone agree?

I just got my betta fish as a present and I have no idea how to take care of it! He lives in a little flower vase type thing. I live in a dorm so should I get a heated tank since its usually like 65-74 degrees F in my room and he might be cold? :/ If so how much do they cost because I'm pretty much broke!
