I work at a place where people bring in stray animals all the time and before we take them to the Humane Society, we can decide if we want them or not. Well someone brought in a pretty white rabbbit that you can tell was someone's pet and said they found it outside by a garbage can. The people who were there when the rabbit was brought in are not sure if they believed the kids story, but I decided to take the rabbit home.
I then began to worry about if the rabbit might have rabies. It's very friendly and has not bitten me yet and it was pretty clean and obviously well taken care of. Does anyone know of ways to tell if it may have rabies without taking it to a vet just by it's actions?

A friend who is trying to care for some feral cats in his rural area apt. has found two small kittens. These kitties are only a few weeks old and too young to survive a harsh Michigan winter out of doors. We have agreed to offer a home to one of the kittens, and are looking for an inexpensive vet to give the kitty a well baby check up and it's first shots. We have a senior citizen cat already and the baby must have a check up before we can expose our established cat to the new one. We have tried animal rescue, but, they are more expensive than our old private vet (who recently moved out of state so we cant use her either)
Any suggestions?

My mom has a rack russle terrior. She is VERY hyper. Is there anything a vet can give her to calm her down some? She acts like she's on drugs or something, LOL.

Yesterday i was at one of my friend's house and one of his friends who i don't know bought his 7 month old pit bull puppy over. So we're all sitting around chillin and this dude starts slapping the dog in the face and pulling on his ears and using his feet to push the dog across the floor and the dog is clearly irritated and barking and snapping at him. So i said to him "why are you treating your dog that way"? And he said "hey, this is a pitbull, not a Lab, he's supossed to be mean and not a sissy". Needless to say i disagreed and we got into a heated argument over the way a dog should be treated. This dog was in pain when this dude pulled his ears cause he yelped everytime. It made me angry that somebody would treat a puppy that way and if it wasn't for my boy i would took this dude outside and made him yelp! But my boy broke us up and i just left to keep from slugging this jerk in the mouth. Do you think i was wrong? I'm a straight-up dog lover!

Ok so I have a rottie/lab and a cat as well they get along just fine..She had kittens 3 weeks ago and since then she made her nest in a closet and we rigged the door so she can get in and out and he can't.

He has been laying outside the door where the kittens are constantly..We are not sure if he is protecting? Waiting to kill them? Being possesive? Jealous?

Anyone out there have exprience w/ kittens and large breed dogs?

I have 2, 2 month old kittens, and they are pretty healthy and normal. They eat, sleep, and wrestle ALL the time, so they are very playful. But I noticed 3 weeks ago that one of my kittens whiskers broke off to about 1/2 inch. I checked the other kitten and his were normal. So I called the vet, and she told me to wait to see if they are growing back. Well now they are growing back, but until last night, I noticed that the other side has gotten a little bit shorter again. And his brother has all his whiskers still perfectly fine. I found some pieces of whiskers by my door ( btw they are strictly indoor kittens), they were bent and kinda yellow.

Does anyone know what could be the problem? I heard of kitten losing whiskers due to growing coaser ones, or maybe the kittens play to rough?

Any advice will be helpful!

I know cats need proper dental care, so I went out and got a kitty tooth brush and kitty tooth paste. My big siamese bit me, my ediam siaese clawed me and my Bengal hid behind the couch for 2 days afterward. Any tips on how to do this and stay in one piece?

My rabbit is indoors in a 2 story cage. I've read that it isn't good for their feet to be on the wire all the time. So, I tried putting a piece of the sticky linoleum on the top for him. He chewed it up. Tried putting a towel in, he drags it down by his litter box, and it ends up covered in poop. I'm not going to bother with a piece of carpet remnant, figure that would be pointless. I've seen at the pet store they make something for that purpose, anyone know if it works? Think he'll chew it up? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!!

My cat is driving us crazy. Lately, she has been urinating in the kitchen and the bathroom. We'll wake up the next morning and find puddles of pee near the kitchen table or near the toilet. My dad suggested we clean her litterbox more oten, but that didn't work. She will defecate in her litterbox, but there is never any urine in it. For some reason she prefers to urinate elsewhere. Can anyone tell me what I can do to discourage this behaviour? Does anyone know why she would be doing this?

I have two cats; brothers from the same litter and they are as different as night and day. "A" cat meows all the time to communicate. Anything he wants he meows to get it. "B" cat never meows but communicates via ESP. He will stare at you until you get it and he is very good at that. Which one is more advanced?
