Our black lab just had a puppy but the she has mange so we brought the dog inside the house for 2 reasons because of course the mom has mange and also because it gets really really cold outside at night. Also the mother seems "unfit" she sits on the puppy's head and she steps on it and we wont allow it to eat from her nipples because the mange os down there also....We went to Petsmart and brougt puppy milk the puppy seems to be eating but is there anything i should look for and is it normal for it to whine while it is going to sleep we have it on a heat blanked wrapped up in another to keep it warm any other suggestions??

I have been instructed to give my dog 3cc of benadryl three times a day. I have tried every trick such as putting it in and on top of his food. I have also tried to put it in his water and he will not take it. I have asked someone to hold him while I attend to use the surge where the needle was, but no luck.

She's a Jack Russell terrier who is well-behaved otherwise. She rarely tries humping my husband or other animals or toys, but she grabs my arm between her paws and humps air. I'm wondering what I can do to discourage this behavior besides just telling her "no" and disengaging. Any help?

When we got Annie, our new ktten, she wieghed 1.4. My mother comes by to baby sit her while I'm at work. I know my mom feeds her way too much. She feeds her four times a day and Annie steals my male and female cat's food, and they eat twice a day. Also my mom trys to feed her snacks like chips, apples, and other foods that are WAY to unsatiry for a kitten. Now she weighs 3.1 wich is werid because the way mom feeds her, she should wiegh 7.5. She also had diariea and puked twice. I've finally got a new kitty sitter on Sunday, but I'm not sure what to do with Annie. I'm taking her to the vet Monday. Can any one tell me what it might be? How do I help her? Do you need more info?

I read/heard/saw that you can tell if a dog is full blooded by looking at the roof of there mouth? If it's spotted, they are mixed but if it's soild it's full blood.
How can I tell without getting a DNA test or something done? I have a lab, and she looks really diffrent from others I've seen .She has a wavey coat, and fuzzy and thick since summer when she was a young pup.
So, how can I tell?

But I recently started a new job and Im not home with my kitten as much, The problem is I feel sad everytime I think of her and I always think of her. Shes only 6 months. It doesn't interfer with my work and there is usually someone home while Im at work. I felt the same way about my kids when they were younger. I feel theres no care like a mothers care..(I know that not always true) Is this normal ..will I get over it soon..does she get stressed without me because she does an awful lot of whining (5 seconds) as soon as I get threw the door.. Am I normal ?,, did you as a cat owner ever feel this way ever?..This is my first pet as a adult

My daughter misses him so much and I though an extra "bed teddy" would help her get through the grieving process. Has anyone done or heard of anything similar?

I have a 6 week old kitten. Is he ready for solid food?

I hear different opinions on this. You shouldn't because they clean themselves and you should to help with allergies. Hopefully someone with a lot of cat experience can answer this. (He is an inside cat)

Is there a cheaper way but still get the same results as a groomer. Because I didn't think he had fleas that bad but I gave him a bath and OMG I was disgusted at what I seen. How do you wash a cats face and prevent the fleas from running for cover on the face and in the ears. I dont want my cat to be in discomfort any longer. Any who knows about this please help.

My lab is very lean and has a smooth coat. My neighbors lab is the same exact age and is much shorter and stockier with a thicker wavier coat. Their personalities are also very different. We have wondered how these 2 dogs could be of the same breed.
