My 1 year old dog likes to dig small holes in random spots through out our back yard. I was wondering what is the best way to stop this habit.

The fishy smell has only arrived during the last few days (since she came inside for the winter). She s a 3 year old crossbreed. She is eating the dry food she always has had, which has no fish in it! Any ideas please - she seems happy and healthy otherwise?

She slapped me. I really wanted to pet her new kitten. Did she think I was thinking of something else?

I want to hear from Ferret owners only, please. I have a 4 and a 2 yr old, and have the opportunity to get a ferret from someone. I'm wondering, do they make good pets for small children, with supervision of course, or are they better for older kids and adults?

This is NOT MY DOG so please do not tell me to have him neutered. I am sitting for him this weekend and I am afraid that this 185# raging hormone (Fila) will make me nuts by Sunday or at the least drag me out into oncomming traffic.
I have the seeking suspision that there is a female in heat coming into the yard at night... there are three distinctive spots in the yard where he will drag me to. He will sit at the door for hours whining to get out. When I take him out (on the leash--the fence was taken out in a strom last week and wont be fixed until next week) he drags me to these spots, marks and drags me to the next one. I am not his owner and if anyone out there is even slightly aware of the Fila breed you know what I am up against.
Is there anything I can spray on the yard?? I was told to put vicks on his nose but I'm having issues with that.
There are a couple of you guys out there that I really hope will give me some good advice. Thanks

My puppy was diagnosed with ear mites and while we are giving him his drops he is still scratching his ears like crazy, so much so that he is starting to lose the hair on the crown of his little head. Will this grow back after the mites are cured or will he be stuck with premature bald patches? It's just that the area looks so smooth and pink, like no hair could ever grow again! Poor thing.

I am pretty sure my black molly is about the give birth, for the last two days she is hiding at the bottom of the tank or under the rocks. She is very fat and seems like she is pregnant.

I moved her to the small breeding tank that float in the big tank last night and this morning when I woke up, I noticed that her belly is almost gone but there were no babies, she still looks fat but much less than before.

Does anyone has any clue to what's going on with her???

Thanks for your help

My boy is almost 5 months old and very attached to me. when i got him at 2 months he was very aggressive and we've been breaking that behavior but he has always been a cry baby. He will yelp and cry if i walk out of a room. he has plenty of toys to play with why can't he relax for just 5 minutes. He is crate trained and goes in the crate everyday when i go to work he only cries if he knows i'm still in the house. once im outside he stops crying and relaxes. Any suggustions?

My daughter's cat has fleas. We believe she also has tapeworm. What are the symptoms for tapeworm? She is eating us out of house and home.

We are taking our St. Bernard for an ultra sound today because she is pregnant. We believe she's around 3 weeks yesterday, so does anyone know what we should expect to see? I know its early, but we want to make sure that there are no complications, and the vet recommended to bring her in on the 3rd week, 6th week, and ninth week. Has anyone ever took their pregnant dog for an ultra sound before? Can you see the pups, or just blobs? I am so excited if you can't already tell, this is her first time!

I am going to get my 6 months old female boxer spayed next week. My vet said he will have to keep her for 2 nites. Is that normal? I thought usually it's one nite. Also, he is charging $350. other vets, i foud out, charge anywhere from 200-250. My vet is known to be a really good one around my area though...I don't know what to do. Please help. Thank you so much!

I have a almost 3 yr. old overweight Pomeranian-Chihuahua. She weighs about 12 lb. now. When she was little, I tried every kind of dog food out there and she just wouldn't eat. She would starve for days and then eat half a meal. This went on too long, so I gave in and started feeding her people food. The vet agreed that letting her starve herself was not healthy for her. Now she's been eating lunch meet and scraps for EVER and the vet said she should be on a ground beef and rice diet because her weight is too hard on her little knees. I just bought her rice, ground beef, and veggies to mix together but I don't know how often to feed her and what portions? I can't find it on the internet. Can anyone tell me?

Thanks!

Why?

2006-11-17 05:39:53 · 27 answers · asked by ~ME~ 1 in Dogs

I know of many accounts of it, and my bird does it. If he is by my feet, or I move/wiggle any part of my feet with or without whistling, he will always try to interact with it. I know they are curious and somewhat mischievous birds, but sometimes it comes out of nowhere and is quite funny. But alas, I have no idea why he squawks, squeaks and does some little, puffed-up mock charging around my foot. Also, even if I have shoes on, he does it. So I do know it probably isn't only my toes. It's adorable, but I can't help but wonder why in the world he/other tiels do it.
