Hi guys, I want to know what's the name of the fish that is popularly known to tail or swim with big fishes/animals like dolphins or whales. Sometimes they mistaken divers to be big animals too, so they kind of go with them. Any idea what I'm talking about? Thanks

I have two other cats that eat their cat food just fine. I just have one female cat that refuses to eat cat food. The other cats give her a weird look. Will dog food hurt her? She loves the stuff!

My dear, dear Bradley died on the vets table Thursday morning...could not be saved....he had stomach torsion. Deep chested dogs (Standard Poodles, Dobermans, Grayhounds, and many others) are very subject to this...their stomachs fill with gas for no reason, twists on the intestines and esophagus and tie itself off...the dog can die within a few hours! He acted strangely, but nothing much out of the ordinary, ...then his abdoman began to swell rapidly, vomiting everywhere...I realized then what was happening, rushed him to the vet, but he died on the table..I am heart broken. Keep an eye on your deep chested dogs at all times, and do NOT change their diets or feed them high carbs....makes this happen often. Bradley had NO different diet, but it happened anyway. Dear, dear Bradley...this is going to take a very long time to get over. This is not a question, it is simply sharing what I have learned the very, very hard way. I don't want any of you to go through the same thing

I have two parakeets and I try to feed them fruits and vegetables and other things in little dishes and the most they've ever done with it is flip the dish. I want to know how I should introduce them to the foods and get them to enjoy them.

I am calling the vet to make an appointment to get my newly adopted Rottie fixed. But her **** our swallon and I think she might be pregnant, I agreed to have her fixed within one month I adopted her from the Animal Shelter and that was one of the conditions. If she is should I go ahead and have her fix or wait until she has puppy?
Is there a time frame to take the puppies or can they take them no matter how far along she is?

I have a 2 year old Cocker Spaniel that I just got a couple weeks ago! When I recieved him he was all matted up and STUNK! My babysitter for my children is a avid dog lover and asked if she could groom him ( because that is what she is wanting to be) and I said sure... I mean why not its going to save me money...lol! Well she did so tonight while I was at work and she was here watching my kids. Next thing I know she is calling me telling me that one of the mats he had on his chest was so deep into his skin that when she cut it it ripped open his skin!.. She said that she was going to take him to the vet and pay for him to get taken care of. What I would like advice on.. is he ended up with stiches that I have to go get taken out in 14 days! Should I tell her ( even tho she just spent 150 on the visit the stiches and the antibotics and pain pills) that she needs to pay to have them removed or should I just remove them ( we are already in debt this month) Thanks

My sis and I took her bunny to the vet last week to be neutered. He was given a shot for pain that was to last 24 hours. He obviously is still in pain and the vet said that there was nothing they can do. I know there are anelgesics for rabbits but most vets fail to do this. I was wondering if there was anything on our end that we can do to help this little guy. We tried heat but he does not stay put and whoa, if you put ice on him look out. I was told we could give him 1/2 a baby aspirin or use some antibiotic ointment with some numbing stuff. I just wanted to hear what you had to say on the matter. I'll be lookin forward to your responses.

She is new to our home, and has semmed to be ok. She has scars under her chin from maybe having lesions before. They are the size of a pea and look full of blood. I am also concerned because I am 8 months pregnant and am scared of contracting any worms or whatever. We also have a doxy that is up to date on her shots, but acted like she was going to vomit yesterday, but has been fine today. I have them separated. Have any idea what it could be? Please help with answers, thank you!

I have been day dreaming about making a bigger aqurium and started planning it all out: a 16 ft by 4ft by 4ft tank. But I've run into a slight probelm, where am I supposed to get the Acrylic? because the tank is 4 ft tall the acrylic has to be 1 inch thick.
Witjh this in mind, I searched the internet for a probable seller of acyrlic, all of which had an over all price range of about $3500 for the amount of 1 inch acrylic needed to make this tank.
So I'm asking those who have actrually made their own tank before, where do you get the acrylic to make the tank?

Or something, maybe some suggestions...she had a reaction to a vaccine she had today and now her face is all swolen. It's a rare but more serious effect. We can't take her to the vet because it's nighttime and it's closed. We called the vet and we bought her the medicine he told us to give her, but she still has the whole night ahead of her. She may get better, or worse, and we would have to drive her to an emergency animal hospital far from here. Do you think she will be okay? Has your pet ever had a reaction to a vaccine before?
