When I pick up my female guinea pig, she always makes this purring sound, but when my son picks her up she does not. What does this mean?

Maggy is now 7 weeks old, and she has started to wet herself while she is sleeping, she doesnt wake up or anything. Is this normal? I am going to call the vet about it on monday. Does anybody know what i can do temporarily. She goes out all the time, and while she is awake, she lets us know when she has to go. Is this common in young pups?

Hi... Our Daughter bought a rabbit at an auction, he is a mini rex and we were told he was born in April... anyhow we got him 2 weeks ago and have noticed one of his teeth is extending up into his nostril.. (tooth from bottom jaw)
he hasnt eaten any of the carrots we have given him (he does eat the pellets) and doesnt chew the wood like her other rabbits... so either this is the cause or the symptom.. I am going to call a vet in the morning but wondering if anyone knows what they can do for him or if their is anything I can do?
thanks

I live way out in the country, and there are some folks down the road who- I'm sure- mistreat their dogs. They only have one or two free in the yard, but there are several tied to barrels and dog houses in the back yard (all of them so thin I could see their ribs!). Or, I think so- there were before these people put up a fence around their house when they caught me looking. I'm afraid they're breeding fighting dogs, but either way those poor things are being mistreated!

The problem is, we've tried calling the police, but they refuse to do anything (although I'm certain there are laws against the way those animals are treated! They won't even see to a complaint about all the night-long barking- noise that disturbes several people). The Animal Control and Animal Shelters in town can't operate outside the city limits, or so they've told us, so I'm at a complete loss about what to do. I want to help those dogs!

I have a 2 year old male cairn terrier who uses my living room as his personal outhouse. The house is hard wood floors except for the living room, which is carpeted and he will only poop in this one room. He has a dog door to the back yard that he uses all the time, but for some reason he just likes to poop in the living room instead of out there. Every time we catch him in the act we reprimand him, but we arent always around to see it happen and I know its bad to take him back to the turd after the fact to scold him. We have had to get the carpet shampooed three times to get the horrible smell out! I've seen the invisible fence shock collars I could use to keep him out of the room, but Im not so sure i want to go to that extent. Is there anything else I can do to make him stop this habit?!

My cat Linus has white feet, except on his back left foot, where he has one gray toe. I think that gray toe is so cute! What features do your cats have that are super cute?

What would happen if a morning dove had babies with a ring necked dove?

Could this make the babies un-natural, like could problems ocure with breeding them because this person wanted to do this with his birds, he wanted some pretty doves that no one else could have.

I have seen a photo of a part morning dove & part ring neck dove but it looked pretty much like a morning dove to me.

I have one male cat and one female cat. Each cat hisses at each other when they are in the presence of each other. Do I let the cats get to know each other naturally?

My betta, Sigma, might be sick. The tips of his fins, instead of being flared out, are clumped; that is, the tips of his fins are stuck together, almost forming a point, while the innermost fins are spread out. There are no spots on his body and he's exhibiting no other signs of illness (he's pretty active and he flares up when provoked). I just want to know if anyone has any idea what might be wrong with him.
