i have just found about 5 mealworms in my lizards cage hidden in the moss. they are somewhat swollen in size and it looks like some are twitching!! i am assuming that he is vomiting them. but the question was why? and has this happened to anyone else? my lizard is still a juvenile. thanks in advance.

I started noticing the "rice" looking pieces around my cat's anus/under his tail and then saw the tiny white pieces in his stool. I looked them up online and saw they were pieces of tapeworms, but I haven't been able to locate anything that talks about how harmful it is for the cat. He doesn't have a loss of appetite, weight or dehydration and isn't being lethargic like the symptoms I have read say. Can they ultimately be deadly? I am ordering a tapeworm de-wormer off of 1-800-Petmeds tomorrow, but I was just curious as to more information about them and how serious they are.

I have a quaker parrot and he puffs his feathers up alot. I heard this could be a sign of aggression, but he doesn't act mad. Like he does it a lot when I talk to him or blow lightly. He doesn't do this so much with other people. Could this be a sign of affection?

I just invested in a German Shorthair about 3 months ago and now shes 6 months old. I know these dogs are hyper and like to do their own thing, but I dont really want to invest too much money yet in a fence yet because its almost winter and she probably wouldnt be out much. I have tried to walk her with a leash, but I just dont want her getting into trouble because she has already been chased around town a few times already and I dont want to give up on her. My deceased dachshund never had a problem with taking off in the neighborhood, at least not to the point of taking off a block away, of course he had some fence training at an older house, but we didnt really have to train him much at this house. Some simple cheap tips would be helpful or any other device that really works well with this will help.

I would like to get a german shepherd and a golden retriever, but I do not know if these breeds would even get along. If they can live together, which puppy should I get first? Should the german shepherd grow up with the retriever or vice versa? I have had a GR before and she was the love of my life, but I am looking for a guard dog so that's why I figured a GR and GSD would be the perfect match for me, I'm just not sure they'd be a match for each other. Any opinions would be much appreciated, thanks!

My cat is really sick with diarrhea. It's been 3 days since it started and the weird thing is the food 'comes out' and doesn´t even smell bad. it doesn´t smell.

I know that it is hard to determine the size of mixed breeds, but my puppy is 3 months and he weighs 3.5 pounds. His mom was a mini poodle and his dad a maltese. I was just wondering if there was any way to gauge how big he might get? Someone told me the paws were an indication, but I don't know how that works.

i found a 3 week old kitten last week he's now 4 weeks and since he has been in my care he pee's alot but he wont poop. How do I get him to poop? I've tried everything cotton ball, veggie oil nothing seems to work. I've been giving him 2 percent milk and mixing it with water. He seems to take to that nicely, my second question is should I start giving him can food at this age and how? Considering his back teeth are coming in.

Is there any way to stop my sister's puppy from ripping out my older dog's tail hair? I've tried putting him in time out, but that hasn't worked, and my dog is a sweetie who wouldn't hurt a fly, so there's no chance of him stopping the puppy.

It has both eyes. One amber eye and the other is a over sized darkish blue eye. The eyelids never close on that eye and the cat doesn't seem to be in pain. But I would really like to know what's wrong with it so maybe I could something for the cat. I would like some help please?
