We went to the vet with him a while ago and they said there was soemthing wrong with his kidneys if clavamox didnt work. To get him back and give him a full check up is and vaccines is over $600 so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what it may be, what i can do, and things i might be able to feed him.Please help!

I have a five month old colt, he has crusting around his eyes, and his back feet are all swellen up by his feet, he is walking ok, eating ok, and does not have a fever, the vet said that it is a typical cold in a young horse. Does that sound right? or should I be calling a different vet to take a look at him.

I want a cat breed that won't go outdoors, but I don't know what breed is best. I want to either train it or buy it breed in. Would my dogs influence it to go out the dog door if I got it breed in? :?

He's a St. Bernard and has skin allergies. We've taken him to the vet and had all kinds of tests run. The outcome is just that he has allergies. We've tried many thing, and I am tired of giving him high doses of allergy medications and steroids. I would like to know of some topical/natural things I can try to relieve his itching. I've heard essential oils and such work wonders. Also, I would need dosages/instructions for him. He's 150 lbs, and has long fur.

I have 2 yellow belly turtles. They have both slowed down on their eating. Does the change of the season have anything to do with this?

Why does everybody think that Arabians are 'hot- headed' and 'crazy'? I think I know the reason why, but you guys tell me if you think otherwise. Okay, you all know about those Quarter Horses, how their owners and trainers ride them to death, drain blood out of them and train them to carry their heads so low that they probably can't ever move naturally again. Well, if you didn't know, now you do. So yes, compared to a QH that has had it's whole future ruined for a bunch of ribbons, I'd say an Arab does look fiesty. But then again, so does a turtle. Now don't get me wrong, there are many really nice QH's out there, and I used to ride them. But how come we never hear about them? How come people always accuse the Arab for being graceful and majestic? Just to state something, if it weren't for the Arabian, the would be no QH; there wouldn't be a lot of breeds. Nobody gives any horse a fair chance, I think, it is pretty much stereotypes.

She is an spayed adult and has been marking certain spots on the carpet for years. It's not urine, it's something else. She only marks about a drop or two at a time. Background: She was my only cat until my girlfriend moved in 3 years ago with 2 cats; both femalel one adult spayed and a kitten who spayed later. She did not like these 2 cats then, and she still acts aggressive toward the adult female now. She always marks either in corners or against a wall and has about 6 spots she goes to. This behaviour is on and off and sometimes she'l even do it right in front of us! Can anyone out there help us put a stop to this permanently? We've tried different deterrent sprays, a plugin thingie that emits cat pheremones that's supposed to keep her calm, putting aluminum foil over the spot etc etc ad nauseum. If you've ever experienced this we would greatly appreciate your help :~)

My Golden Retriever has a broken toe. He was chasing a rabbit at the park near our house and he must have hit something hard like a fallen branch or rock. So we took him to the vet the other day, they put a splint and cast on. The thing is, we didn't think he would need the cone (the thing that goes around the dogs neck to stop them getting at infections, etc). We went out for only 30 minutes and when we came back he had ripped the cast off, and while doing so he must have bitten his leg (the cone is now back on). His leg got infected from him licking it, so the vet gave us antibiotics, and he just won't take them.

We have tried everything! Covered them in peanut butter, put them in bread balls (he really likes bread), we tried to get into his throat but he's just so stubborn. He must have them or he will get sick from infection! What do I do?

My 6 month old dog keeps chewing on his blanket that he sleeps on. I know puppies will chew anything but he spends ages chewing on this blanket and tearing pieces off and eating it. I am rather concerned that this is not doing his digestion much good! Do you think he is hungry? I think we are feeding him enough - (twice a day) but its hard to tell - he is a labrador cross with an Alsation....we think! How do you know how much food to give? I go by the guidelines on the dogfood packet.

We keep our door closed at night so the cat won't come in, but when we do that he claws underneath the door making an unbelievable annoying sound. We would let him inside the room, but he plays with the blinds non stop- HELP
