I adopted a new cat last week. She wantes to play but when she does she will just lay there and watch what were doing. Also, the first time I introducted her to cat balls she had a ball, now she won't have anything to do with them. When I do play with her, and use my hands, she'll take my fingers and put them in her mouth and nibble. Wounder what to do with play time? Don't know if she is just picky and is not happy with the cat toys we have for her. She is a 1 and 1/2 yrs old. Thanks for the help.

20L tank has very high ammonia. We've done water changes, upgraded the filter and been careful about feeding (we use crisps because we can count them). It has about 1/3 the number of fish it's supposed to have. We added plants, used the white gravel, and added enzymes. Nitrites never go up and ammonia never comes down. We lost all our mollies.

The yo-yo at Petsmart doesn't know what more to do.

When I got my dog, she had dry skin from being bathed too much. She would itch and scratch constantly. I brought her to the vet and his diagnosis was dry skin. DUH. No suggestions from him other than to say not to bathe her so much. DUH again.

Needless to say, I switched vets. I had only brought her there because that is the vet she had been seeing since she was a little tiny thing.

The new vet suggested this stuff called "Miracle Coat." It's a leave in conditioner that has tea tree oil and Vitamin E in it. Wow. It worked really well. Only occasional scratching from the very first time I used it. Her skin is doing so much better now. I'm sure that also has to do with the fact that she isn't getting 3 baths a week anymore, but I wanted to share anyway.

It was about 14 dollars for a 12oz. bottle at PetSmart, but worth every penny.

I also need to say that if you think your dog has a skin problem, it needs to been seen by a vet. A lot of skin problems are NOT just dry skin.

I mean do fish interact with their babies? Do they protect them from predators? Are there male and female salmon? Crazy question I know but I;m curious.

It did this once before. I thought it was an embedded flea but it shrunk back down and looked like a mole. Is this a mast cell? It is between his hind legs on the hairless part of his belly. He's a miniature dachshund age 6. The skin around it is fine, not red or swollen. Anybody have any thoughts on this. I will take him to the vet in the morning, but I'd like to not worry so much tonight. Thanks!

My Border Collie puppy (Dixie) has now been confirmed with the vet to have allergies to "dust"! Do any other people have this sort of problem, or is it just a funny coincidence that after we had a blind dog we get one with allergies??

I have a little koi fish that was going to turn 1 year old in November, but, for an currently unknown reason, he's bobbing around on his side and can't set himself right (I think there's some kind of parasite in my fish tank). I know he's dying because my other koi experienced the same exact symptoms right before he died, yet it took him about 5 days to finally die.
I don't want my fish to suffer for that long, so I want to put him out of his misery now. My first thought was to leave him out on a plate to suffocate, but I was afraid that would be even more agonizing for him. I want to bury him, so toilet flushing is not an option.
Please, does anyone have any other suggestions for putting a fish to sleep?

I have a large black tomcat called Morpheus, which I raised from three days old after his mother died. He's my own private miricle and I love him very much. Yet, he hates my father (who is a pastor). He hisses at him, has jumped at him, and my father accuses him of waking him up during his dreams. He has threatened me with even have him put down. I've been told it's probably my own animosity toward my father and the cat is reacting to it and attempting to protect me, but I thought I'd go for a wider range of opinions. Can anyone give a little advice?

I took my 2 cats last Monday to be spayed. They told me that one was in heat and the other was very early on in her 1st pregnancy. I brought them home the next day and they seemed fine, slept a bit more than usual. Now they are just wild. They are running and jumping all over the place. They are tearing down the house. I thought that having them spayed would calm them, that's what I heard anyhow. I sthis normal behavior? Will they settle down? Any suggestions? They don't bither me with this behavior, I am just worried about them.
