I have a ten gallon tank with three big guppies, two kuhli loaches, and two glowlight tetras. I have eight one month old guppy babies and more are on the way (the female is curently in the breeding trap as we speak). The problem is, the guppies all have clamped fins and dive towards the gravel and rub themselves on it. I'm assuming parisites or some fungas, and have added salt and fungas medicine. It isn't working though. Can fish become immune to the treatment? I've used it before. And is it fungas or parasites and how do I treat it? I need something that will not affect my Malasyan Trumpet snails or my plants. Thanks.

I have a new kid on our block 9 mos Husky, he's cute and potty trained, but jumps on me and picks on the Shitzu and won't leave the lab alone. He drives me nuts, I'm the 4th or 5th owner of this beautiful creature and I refuse to bring him back like everyone else did. The only complaint I have is when I walk them, they both try to pull my arm off, any suggestions to help me let them know I'm the leader of this pack. I have pictures of my lab and husky on a website...I made my lab his own.

This was quoted from a reply to someone else's question. To the person that said this, I ask have you ever done Rally?? Rally is not as basic as some think. Rally Novice is on lead, yes. But, you are doing 2 different finishes from a front, in the regular obedience ring, you only need to make sure your

"By the way, I think RALLY is incredibly stupid!! Those are just the exercises that you use to teach the dog the things needed for real obedience work. If you spend all the time practicing the practice moves, you will bore the dog into the ground and never get the real job done which getting them through the legitimate degrees. If you were learning to play the piano, would you practice fingering the keys for 2 years or would you move onto scales and pieces of music to stretch your skills? Rally is something the AKC came up with so people could get ribbions without having to do as much work as for the real degrees so then they would enter shows and the AKC get more money......"

How can I convince myy mom into letting me get a puppy. I know they are a big responsiblity and expensive, but... I have had one before, I just had to give it away because we were moving to a town house with no pets allowed. I have enough money, and I just want a sweet little mutt. How can I convince her that I am responsible enough having to think that I have had one before, and that it would be with my own money... not hers?

I just dropped my ring on the floor and before I could pick it up my puppy swooped down and swallowed it. It is a normal size ring, with 3 stones on it. Should I just wait for her to poop it out? What should I do? THANKS!

I have a Yorkie, Winer Dog mix. She is about 11 months old and no matter what I do, she WILL NOT GO OUTSIDE!!! I love her and have tried everything.... My husband and I smoke outside only, so we are in and out all the time. I stay at home with my son, so I am normally always here. She will go outside and pee or popp and then come in and do it again. I know she is done, it's not like I make her quit during, but she has to do it inside too.
I have tried rubbing her nose in it, and spanking, puppy training pads and treats.
NOTHING WORKS!!
I have hard wood floors in my whole house and have to scrub them numerous times a day to keep them clean. She isn't allowed in most of my house because of this. What am I supposed to do????
HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am using roach and flea fogger throughout my house accept for the kitchen. I need to leave the house for 4 hours while the spray settles. I am wondering if it's safe to leave my cat in a large closet in the kitchen that has a door, shut the door, then not spray in the kitchen and keep the kitchen door shut and put a towel under the door so NO spray can possibly get in. Is that safe enough for the cat to stay in while I bomb the other places in the house? Thanks! Just want to make sure I am taking safe care of the cat.
