My mini schnauzer constantly makes wierd screaming noises when he's upset or overly happy, sometimes it sounds kind of like a cat. Is my dog a freak or is it normal

He never did before...and I think he's partly playing but he does it all randomly now. Anyone have any information about this or could share similar experiences?

Thanks!

Both incidents of biting happened when we tried to take old food wrappers or trash out of his mouth while we were walking him. He grabs the items so quickly that often we can't stop him. My husband used his hand to try to take the trash out and the dog got very aggressive and nipped his hand. This happened about a year ago. The recent incident happened last week. The wrapper was dangling out of his mouth so I tried to step on it and he went wild and jumped up on me and injured my chest. I am badly bruised, but no puncture marks. There were two very small skin abrasions, but I am very sore. I had a tetanus shot and I am taking antibiotics. My vet wants the dog evaluated by a pet behaviorist to determine if he should stay with us. We've had him since he was about 10 weeks old. He will be six in January. He is very sweet and gentle at all other times. Please help if you can. This has been, and continues to be, very difficult for me. Thank you in advance.

I need to move my 55 Gallon Aquarium. What do I need to do to make sure my fish do not die? How much of the original water should I keep? I'm not sure what to do. It has never been moved since it was set up. Thanks for your help.

I have a male kitten who is wonderful, playful, and uses the litter box.

I've been sick the last two weeks (bronchitis/sinus infection) and I have had a hard time sleeping. I got up and laid down on the sofa, covered up in the blanket this morning, wanting to get back to sleep. The cat came and sat on me, which is usually a common occurrence with my cats. He sat down and within a minute I felt warm liquid on me. He peed on me. I was frustrated, so I got cleaned up and threw the blanket and my clothes into the wash.

Why the heck would he pee on *ME*? I love on him a lot, he's my baby. Is he marking me as "his" or is he mad?

What system do you use? How do you separate the weight and percentage of bones in necks and racks?

My 12 week old male tiger suddenly began doing that kneading thing when he's getting ready to sleep. He is very healthy, and is regular. He plays hard and is just a great cat. He is an indoor cat, too. But this kneading motion with the front paws is new; he didn't do his as a tiny kitten. What does this mean?

I just noticed this today and I think he has it pretty bad. If I can't take him to a vet today or tomorrow, what should I do with him until then? How can I keep the worms from getting on things in my home? Help!

My dog has a large tumor growing between his spine and right hip. There was a biopsy sent to the U. of Ks. Vet school. It came back as bone cancer. The tumor, after the biopsy, began to grow so large that it began to bleed through the healed incision. We took the dog back to the vet. She opened the wound and cleaned out the old blood. When we picked him (the dog) up the incision was left open about 2 inches. He was given antibiotics and we were told to call her if he starts hurting. He still eats well but is losing lots of weight. The wound area still drains blood so I guess this keep the pressure from building. We will put him down when he acts like he is hurting. Can anyone think of anything else to do.
We could have the tumor removed, we would have to take him to the U. of Ks Vet School. It would cost thousands and we were told it would do no good. We were also told that radation would not help. So should we put him down now or just take good care of him until him time is up.

I bought this Betta Bowl Essential Kent Freshwater formula that's supposed to dechlorinate my betta's water. It says to put 1 capful for every quart. I'm assuming since I have a gallon tank, I put 4 capfuls. Seems like a lot, but just wanted to make sure that was right before I did it.

Also, I bought aquarium salt that said it's safe to use each change. I believe you put one half teaspoonful of it per gallon. Is this something that can stay in the water?

One of my cats will cry continually and is not satisfied with feeding, petting, cuddling, talking to him or anything else. Until he gets some catnip he will continue to cry. Then he will 'use' and settle down for a rest in his bed. Should he go to Kitty rehab?

I have 2 small dogs 8lbs. or so each, one yorkie-poo(14 months old) and one malti-poo(8 months old) that won't potty train. I think I have tried every avenue there is and am just totally frustrated now. Does anyone have any ideas or techniques they have found successful? Next step is going to be me locking them in crates for a few days only letting them out to go outside to the bathroom then back in crates...
