i live on a farm and my uncle gave us a duckling that he caught. Its mum had died and we look after it now.
We have taken it outside a couple of times very carefully because we have a couple of cats and it will chirp all day unless its outside and its driving me UP THE WALL!!!
but shes sooooooo cute!!!!
any ideas?

or when I come downstairs in the morning. They are from the same litter and will be three in February. Once she's attacked him she then runs out to the garden barking at nothing. She only does this with me, not my husband. I could do with some advice on how to stop this.

I have a large mountain dog. He's almost a year old and I'm afraid I gave him more love than training as a puppy. I'm home all the time, but he will whine for hours until he gets his way (gets to go outside, has be retrieve his ball from under something). Not only does he whine, but he will nuzzle me and put his head into whatever I'm doing to get my attention. He's so big he pushes me over sometimes! I try to wait for him to stop before I let him out or give him toys, but sometimes I can't always do it so I wonder if I'm sending him mixed signals. I'm 7 months pregnant and very worried that if I dont get him under control he will be dangerous to have in our house even though he's a super sweet dog.

What can I do to tame him? We cant take him to obedience classes because we live in a foriegn country and I dont know the language.

I just got a female boxer-brindle mix and I've never had a pet before so instead of looking for facts I want to know if anyone has experienced advice.

I've been having stomach problems since about August of this year. My kids and my husband seem to get waves of it too (but not nearly as bad as me). Just recently I've noticed that my dog has had very bad diarrhea during most of the time I've been sick. My doctor has told me it is very unlikely that my dog and I could have the same sickness. Has anyone else ever gotten sick from your dog? Could this be my problem?

Ok, so my female cat just started peeing on our clothes and things. We got a new cat about a month ago and I'm thinking that's it. She's not a very lovey cat, she only wants to be petted when she comes up to you, and she WON'T be picked up. I was just wondering if that other cat triggered this? We had two cats, the other is her brother then we got another kitten. Is there anything I can do to stop it? I am getting her spayed when I have the money to do 2 cats at once.

already have a 4 month border collie, he is not left alone very much but i have been considering getting another, if i do decide to get another i would want to get one while Alfie is still a pup so they would grow up together, but am unsure if it would be best to get same sex or not, whatever sex we get (if we get one) they would both be spayed/neutured to prevent any breeding (not experienced enough for that). I have decided to get alfie done when he is old enough anyway. any advice on which sex i should get or if alfie would be better on his own. thanks.

I tried to absorb their pee or poo onto pee pad and newspaper (so to allow the scent to attach on it), but my shih tzu never return to that area again, will always find another spot to potty.

I love dogs and cats but have suffered from severe allergies and asthma my whole life. I am looking for a dog which won't provoke asthma and will have a calm temperment, we live in a community which won't tolerate an anxious or aggressive pet.

We eat a lot of seafood that's imported from different countries. But most of them are shipped frozen already. I want to have some idea (like the technology [if any] used) on how live marine fish and other products are transported worldwide.

Thanks.

I have a stray sick racoon that's been coming out only at 11-12AM. It also has a baby that wanders around my Front yard which we suspect is also sick. It comes all the way up to my portch and then goes around the back of my house until the next day. I suspect it's sick because it's coughing & hacking and limps on 1 legs. The baby however seems normal...I don't believe in shooting, so inhumane answers will not be acknowledged.

Whatever small minded person reported my question regarding sexing my iguana pease read on, it is a simple and non offensive question about determining whether my iguana is male or female no-body else misunderstood the question only you! SHAME!!! if anyone has any feedback on this please let me know. I think the person needs to grow up!
