I have the stupidest cat in the world! I got it last fall,a boy kitty (who i thought was a girl) When I got her (him) fixed I was told it was a boy! Didn't have any nuts to see!!! Anyway,I had him for 3 months with no problem, inside cat,after he was fixed,still no problems for a few months. When spring time came,he wanted to go outside all the time and started peeing in the house EVERYWHERE! Inside my dryer,on the bathroom rug,on the new throw rug under the table(we have wood floors) any clothing my kids left on the floor! So I got pissed and threw him outside! Now I let him in to eat,kids play and pet him,he takes a nap and as soon as I see him wondering around sniffing..Out he goes! He drinks way to much water! constant drinking water! and can not see very good.His food is in the same place but he can't find it unless you put his nose in it! But yet he can catch birds and mice! He will go a week or more without peeing in the house and then BOOM! the hole house smells!what do i do?

My pomeranian of 7 years recently passed away at night. In the past year, she has been suffering from seizures and liver infection. After her passing, I feel an extreme hollowness inside. I thought about getting another dog to replace her. Should I wait until the grief is gone before I get another dog?

Experienced horse people only!

I've been around horses all of my life but have never boarded them, so I was wondering what kind of questions I should ask the people that I'm calling to inquire about their ads. Off of the top of my head I can come up with these questions, but I'm sure there are more, and I want to make sure that I don't completely miss something due to inexperience in this area.

- Cost per month
- Type of plans available (I'm looking for a pasture boarding situation with a shed, not interested in stalls)
- Size of shed
- How many horses per pasture?
- How far away
- Who feeds the horses (owner or property owner)?
- If property owner feeds, what grain is availabe and do they separate the horses
- Is hay and grain included in board
- Riding arena or roundpen on property?
- Requirements for the horse (i.e. current coggins, shots, etc)
- What type of fencing do they use (barbed wire, wooden, pipe, etc)
- Size of pastures

There are others but Yahoo limits your characters

I got a puppy today and ever since we got her this morning, she's been having 'throat convulsions' and her stomach does the same. This is happening every 10-15 minutes. At the end, she always gags, but has not vomited at all. I doubt that she has anything stuck in her throat because she can still eat normally. Help please!

I think I herd that once. If so, what is better lemon juice or lemon oil?
Thanks!

I work at PetSmart and a woman brought them in and told us their mom had been hit by a car and killed
She gave them solid food, which they're not big enough to handle, so theyve been starved and scared for at least 24 hours.
I offered to foster them until they're big enough to be put up for adoption. My boss said that in all honesty, it would be really lucky if even 2 of them lived that long. I want to do all I can to increase thier chances, so does anyone know any good tips/websites/whatever that could help me.

I have an eyedropper and the cat milk you get at PetSmart, its supposed to be the best kind available. 2 of them are licking out of a paper plate, and I'm dropper feeding the other one.

And I cant get them to poop. My boss said that you should take a paper towel, get it damp, and rub their butt with it (to act like the mother cat licking them) and I've tried that and gotten nothing from it.
I also put a desk lamp in there and a blanket under it for warmth.

I have a 13 month cockapoo/bichon female dog. I'm pretty sure that she has been in heat twice already but I think that she's going into heat about every 4-5 months. Is this possible? Thanks

When my dog is sleeping in the doorway she has peed and layed in her pee several times.. It's been about three times in the last 5 days. I can't afford to take her to the vet until next week. Is there anything I can do to help this situation? She only pees while laying down in the same doorway. Please help. Thank you

A week ago a mouse appeared from nowhere, ran through my living room and hid behind the kitchen counter. I have put out a mouse trap but in vain! There are no mouse droppings to be found. How do I know whether the mouse is still here?

Our puppy went into heat the 2nd week of October. It is now November 10th, and her vulva is still enlarged, and her nipples are swollen as well. Will this ever end? We've watched her fairly constantly, so we don't think she could be pregnant.
Will her nipples ever shrink down again?
Thanks!

would it be okay to wash off 2 day old puppies with a warm wash rag to clean them or no?
