We have a 3 year old cat that is rapidly loosing weight. Blood work was done and all tests are negative. She eats as usual, and all her other behavior seems normal. The next step, according to our vet, is x-rays.

Is there anything, other than cancer, that they might find with x-rays? If so, what are the likely possibilities, and the odds of an easy cure.

We don't want to put her through cancer treatment, or anything else that is drawn out and painful and/or uncomfortable for her.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Let's say you're sitting outside with your leashed dog when your neighbor comes outside with their two dogs. One of their dogs are leashed, the other is not. The unleashed dog runs up to your dog growling and their other dog manages to slip out of it's collar. Both dogs are now in your dog's face, growling and attempting to bite it. In the process of restraining your dog, you are knocked down and have several scrapes and bruises. Neither dog was injured. How would you handle this situation?

I told the owners of the other dogs that I understand that accidents happen and tried to be understanding but I'm scratched and bruised (and hurting!) What if one of these scratches were to become infected or I otherwise needed medical treatment due to an injury sustained during this incident? Am I underreacting to the situation?

What would YOU have done?

My boxer dog eats everything he sees. If we leave a sock on the floor he eats it and swallows it. He has eaten many different clothing articles, plastic bags, and so forth. Luckly he has pooped the items out safely. Is this common for boxers and how do you stop it.

Also my boxer runs out the door when he gets a chance. He will run away from us and try to get us to chase him. It takes us at least 45 minutes to catch him. How can we get him to come when he is called.

Is it common for a boxer to foam at the mouth when he runs around and becomes excited.

Could it be possible that my dog and I have the same virus because we have the same symptoms, you know, from both ends? It's been a mess. And no my dog and I don't do anything weird together.

I have been a AKC registered husky breeder for years. We have been so lucky as usually our breedings take place with no help from us, all natural. We have one stud and 3 bitches.

Two months ago, one of our females came into her third heat and we decided we would allow her to remain outdoors with the stud (usually we bring them in if we arent going to allow breeding) This wouldve been her first litter. They had at least 3 ties (those are the ones we witnessed) we thought for sure puppies were on the way.

Two weeks ago, we decided she didnt look pregnant and she wouldve been due very soon so we took her in to be scanned. There was no puppies.

Here is where it gets weird. One of our other girls, an experienced girl is in heat right now, not receptive yet but close. We heard yelping last night we ran out expecting to see them tied, instead he was tied to the same girl from 2 months ago. I dont understand why they would be back together, unless he is confused?
PLEASE HELP

My mother's cat is very mean. She jumps out at you and scratches and bites as you walk past her. Now my son thinks all cats are mean. Are there any friendly cats I can get him so he won't grow up to hate cats?

My 3 and a half year old cat has just vomitted 3 times in a row, throwing up what looks like most of his food from today. He has now gone outside.

He has been ok today, it's been wet and windy outside so he has slept next to the radiator all day keeping warm.

For the last few days he has slept in our spare room, but he usually sleeps next to my feet at the bottom of our bed. It is odd that he has chosen to not even come in our bedroom in the morning to wake us up.

Im a bit concerned, can anyone help? Also, any tips for removing cat sick stains from a white carpet??

My dog has allergies; she was red and scratched a lot. The vet gave her an antihistamine and I paid about $20 for 14 tablets. I found out that the medication was Chlortrimaton and it was the same medication that humans take. At another vet I went to, one of the office girls whispered to me that a solution I bought the last time was hydrogen peroxide! I paid a lot for it.
When it was time for a refill for the allergy meds I bought them at Walmart (the same 4 mgs) for $2.77 for 100 pills. How often is this the case?

My dog gets her hair cut and acts psycho. She "star gazes" (looks up and around like she is possessed). Has anyone heard of this? Should I stop having her hair cut? She stops the behavior after a week or so.

First of all don't ask me how to do this I just can ok? Can anyone else here do this? I can talk to animals. Through my mind. It is hard with my dog(I need to be touching him). It is easy with my favorite horse and I can chat with her from MILES away. Many people at my horse camp can talk with only one horse but I can do any of them if I touch them. none of the conversation is said out loud. It is all mental in my head. We share mind pics and thoughts. I can reach her whenever and so can she. I also have the ability to push her away from my thoughts. Any one else can do this? Please don't call me crazy!

Last week I got a 2 month old kitten from the Animal Welfare shelter. I brought her in today with a stool sample because she was vomiting and didn't seem to be eating much.

They told me she had feline distemper and that it's fatal. Long story short they took her from me, I'm assuming to be euthanised. I resigned myself to bad luck, but now in reading up on the disease it seems it's only 75% fatal in kittens. If this is true I find it hard to accept that the shelter is just killing her off. Does anyone know if her age or perhaps some other circumstance could be the reason it's definitely fatal for her? I had a crying 4 year old all the way home with me, and I really hope we didn't go through this horrible experience unnecessarily.
