I have a chihuahua and she seems to have an unhealthy obsession for mounting my arm. Yes she is a girl but she loves to just clamber on. Any ideas to dissolve this hobby my pooch seems so fond of? Having her spayed is not an option coz she is tiny and it is too risky, setting her up on a blind date is also not an option coz again she is too small to carry pups!

I have a black and white cat, that all our friends call hitler. I use to think it was uncommon. Then I found this website called www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com I dont think the site is wierd, a little funny infact. But is it really that common to have a cat that is colored like this?

I am trying to figure out what tpe of fish to get. I am playing with the idea of a 10 gallon tank now.

So far I want to put in a little corydora cat fish, and a betta.

I dont know what else will work in the tank? Are there any small fish that I can put around 6 of in the tank?

All the livebearers are really pretty, but how fast do they reproduce? I dont want to end up with alot of fish, so are these a bad choice? Can you only put male livebearers in the tank(so that there are no baby fish)?

i have a 10 year old cat - yesterday and today he started vomiting and first it was food and now it just saliva. he keeps trying to hide under the bed and every time he goes to walk he has a deep meow like he's in pain. this morning i tried to move him and he wouldn't even let me touch him - he gave me a warning growl. it seems like he has pain in his back legs but i'm not quite sure what that would have to do with him vomiting...also he is a indoor cat, any suggestion to what might be wrong? i love this cat with all my heart and am taking him to the vet tonight (although i have no idea how i'm getting him in the cat carrier as i can't touch him)

A majority of her fur is a mix of light brown and dark brown and black and she has solid black on the backs of her front legs and orange splotches on the back of her back legs and on her mouth and cheeks and white on her paws, under her chin and under her belly, that is like 5 different colors, unless the light brown and dark brown is considered 1 color then it is 4.

Annie, my new kitten, and Cinnamon, my 2nd old cat, don't like each other. Danny, my oldest cat, and Annie are just fine, but I think Cinnamon disowned me. What can I do? Is this normal? Will Cinnamon forgive me?

an alsation, but i never understood, why the alsation always seemed to behave sadistic to the rabbit, like barking aggressively at the rabbit, biting its hutch trying to get in at the rabbit? does anyone no why my dog displayed that aggressive behaviour at that time was it predatory?

Next doors Rabbit thinks its better than our Rabbit and my Rabbit does not like it. We have new neighbours and they have a rabbit called tricksy and it strutts around as if she thinks she owns the place. You should see the way it twinks its nose up at you.
My rabbit , LULU hates it and wants to kill it and nick its carrot and its only time before she breaks through the garden fence.
What advice would you give to show next doors rabbitt that we don`t want no trouble and that our LULU hates her freekin guts.

All my life i had never heard of an indoor cat. The first time i did, v recently i thought it was the crulest thing ever. Ive just bought a kitten and have been researching the facts. After hearing that on average cats live 5 years longer if they are house cats i cant help considering it. Do you think its possible to have a happy house cat or does the freedom factor outweigh the danger factor.??..This being cars, fatal diseases, fleas, Catnapping etc

Hello my dog is pawing at his ear constantly and shaking his head. Last night it was on and on but when he's distracted he's fine and when he's sitting down still it seems to be painful. Before i go the doctor route does anyone know of any natural remedies or ideas.

I have a dog (lab/spaniel mix) who is 13 yrs old. She had a seizer in August and has not been the same since. I took her to the emergency vet when she had the seizer, the vet says she probably has a brain tumor. She did a lot of blood work that all came back good. Since the seizer the dog has not been the same. She seem to be getting older right before my eyes. Her legs are week and she trembles. I have been giving her Rimadal for her arthrtis, but it only seems to help a little. I know the time is approching that we will need to put her down. How do I prepare my son? I have talked to him about it, explained that we can not allow her to suffer,he understands this, but when the time comes, do I tell him I am taking her and let him say goodbye? I know this will break his heart. Or do I just take her in while he is in school and tell him she was in bad shape and it was time? I have never had to handle this type of situation before. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

I'll be meeting my puppy for the first time - she's 3 weeks old - and still with her litter. Is there a certain protocol I should follow?

I just like to play with my cats, but they hardly talk to you when you look at their cats. It's as if they don't own cats, they own a piece of jewelry. No offense, its just an observation. Comment?

I got a 5 1/5 week old girl Maltese pup from a reputable breeder in Australia. I don't know much about the breed and stuff. I need help. How much do I need to walk and groom her? I don't have a lot of time to play with her because I am only 20 and I hang with my friends a lot. When she is older, I can take her for a max. of 20 minute walk every 2 days.

I am going to buy another Maltese puppy and breed them - is this a good idea? I need some professional breeders to give me advice on breeding them. I don't want it for the money, that's just a 'topping' on the cake really.

OK so, all I have is a small crate for her, a few toys and some food and a collar. What else do I need? How often do I groom her?

Remember, I am still young, I live on my own in a small apartment, so, I can not groom her for long.

ALL COMMENTS APPRECIATED.

I have a 16 year old cat who has grown up with dogs all 16 years of her life until last spring when the last dog died. We just got a 7 month old coon/german shepherd mix and the cat will not leave the bedroom. she has met the dog, the dog has shown no agression towards her. she won't leave the room to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom. We finally had to bring food adn water into the room for her, and now she has started pooping in the room. When we carry her out of the room, she growls at us, hisses at everything in sight and will not calm down. What can we do?

I took her last week, friday 21,06 to vet to confirm a pregnancy. She just did not seem rounded. She is large and a little overweight. The vet palpated at what I thought was 50 days prgnant, she said she believes, but took and xray, no skulls, she thought pyometra because uterus is enlarged. and wanted to spay her. I did not think she had that and was right. I drew her blood for a couple of days post and no elev wbc or any symptoms of pyometra, Anyways I took her a week early she was about 41 day.
I saw first bleeding 4 sept, took her to stud on 8-11 sep. We believe our own dobie had had her after?
