I stay at the library everyday for hours and I get hungry. My stomach starts making REALLY loud noises and it's embarassing! Any suggestions of what to do to stop it? Thanks!

I know that it is EXTREMELY important that dogs not run or move much for a week after getting neutered but my puppy is very very active and I am dreading this more than I am the actual procedure. He doesn't like to be placed in his crate, instead he goes in by himself at bedtime. But any other time of day he will bark and cry and I don;t want to stress him out so much after the procedure. Im just wondering if anyone had any other tips for surviving this week?

My Westie is a male, 4 months old. Due to the long period of work schedule I am thinking about getting a second dog for his companion... just not sure what will be a good choice.

We have a cat, almost 2, who is very loveable and social. She comes running when we get home, she is always in the same room as the family or following us around the house. She does not hide away and sleep. We are getting a new puppy this weekend and I am sure she is going to feel left out and not like this new family member for awhile. What can I do to help her? I am hoping since the cat is so sociable, in a few months she will love having another family pet around. I just dont know how to go about it other than to be sure to keep on giving Lucy(or cat) attention. Any advice?

Is the cow hide too tough for a snake bite?

All the new sounds and cars constantly shutting doors outside startles her and I'd like to calm her down and relax

I have a Golden retriever puppy of 1 month 3 weeks and my 8 y/o Basset hound is being aggresive towards him, he's very rough on him and tried to bite him twice. I'm really worried because I love them both!! the puppy loves giving hugs and kisses to my 13 y/o setter who is Ok with him. The pup likes to play with both (at least he tries!), he's very outgoing and not shy at all! What can I do to get my basset used to the new puppy?? are there any tips? ANY info is welcomed! thanks

I don't really know where he came from possibly a drop-off or just born outside from an old gutter cat. He bites and scratches us all the time. The only reason I have kept him, I didn't want him to get run over. He was very friendly when he came to my house, but now he is like a Ninja Cat.

I found a puppy 2 weeks old on the streets and adopted it. From the first day i noticed that when it feels sad and alone, it bites its feet in agony. I tried to play with it and make it happier. Now its 5 weeks old and it bites me whenever i play with it, not aggresively but playfully. I try to grab it from the neck as suggested by a book i have, but the puppy turns and bites me harder:( Then i yell and make sound of being hurt, the puppy bites even more and all over my legs and hands (it gets more excited)

I really dont know what to do. I even thought to give it away to the municipality dog collect, i cant touch it withouth being bitten.

Thank you for any replies in advance, Anna

I accidently dropped my pet hamster down the toilet at the weekend, before I had realised what I had done I had flushed.

Will she survive and if so, how good are a Hamster's homing insticts, will she find her way back to me?

my border collie is 4 months now, i take him out 2/3 times a day. during the day time i keep him on lead and just take him for long walk, but later in the evening when there is barely any activity going on i let him off lead so he can have a really good run around in local field, (not play ground) so far he has come back to me when called with no problems, i would like to start doing this in daytime also, but i am a bit worried that as there is more going on in day he will get too exited and run after people or dogs and not come back (he loves everyone and everything), do you think he is too young for this or should i trust him. he is generally very well behaved for such a young dog. any tips from anyone.

So I took my 4 month old Kitten to the vet for the first time on Saturday. The patient before him was a flea infested cat. My kitten just came in for his shots, he has no ear mites and the doctor said he was free of fleas. On Sunday I noticed my Kitten scratching excessively, so I took a look, and low and behold I see something little and black on his neck. I gave him a bath immediately, today I'm going to get flea medicine. Can he really catch fleas that fast, from being in a room where an animal had fleas like that. I'm so mad at my Vet, it was my first visit there.....

Why do my dogs (St. BErnard, Lab, & Blue Healer) sleep outside when it is cold? I bought them a big 15x12 out building to sleep in when it gets cold, and we put straw in there along with each dog (3) a bed. They also have straw outside that they love, and they will not sleep inside unless it is raining. Is this normal for dogs?

My 3 year old dog, Tessa, is really jealous of my 11 year old dog, Blackie. They were both abused in their former homes. No matter how much attention we give her, she is always wanting more, and if we pet Blackie, we have to pet Tessa. She will freak out and start barking at Blackie, is she jealous because of her history? She was beat by a man, with anything he could beat her with. Does she do that because of her history?

I bought one of those lasers and let my cat chase the red dot around. Now he’s obsessed with it and won’t do anything but look for the stupid dot. He just keeps searching for it and its been hours. Is this normal?

Could be a silly question but....... I have this really bushy low lying tree and there have been hundreds of tiny birds just making all sorts of noise for days. I live in virginia and its november, so obviously not mating season. The tree doesnt have seeds or anything...... maybe its winter coming or something? Im sure an orthinologist could answer it in a heartbeat.

I know it's because of the weird or different noise, but what is it about the head tilting to either or both sides? It's so freaking cute when my boxer does it and he has been doing since he was a pup and he's almost 3!
