Have you ever watched your cat and suddenly you saw something else or someone in a split second?

Our 7 lb - 12 week old pug puppy is old enough now to be neutered, according to our vet. I am wondering if we should do it or not. What are the pro's / con's. How much is it?
We would have asked the vet, but he was busy with other appointments coming in, so we have to wait to talk to him next week about it, but I was just wondering....

I mean, can they do it physically? Dogs don't have lips like humans. But my friend told me she saw her rottie suck up a piece noodle. I found that hard to believe.

We have a boer goat kid who is very ill, we think it may have eaten a toadstool. It has paralysis. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have a puppy who wakes up constantly during the night. Since she is 5 weeks old my vet said to feed her every 4 hrs so she wakes up 2 eat. After im done feeding her she will still not want to sleep she whines the whole time. I dont know wat to do i dont sleep much. I tried putting a clock in her bed so that she can hear the tick tock but that doesnt seem to work. I even let her sleep on my bed but she still whines and just wants to be walking around. Please Help.

It acts fine, eats, drinks, & plays like normal. Does anyone know what it could be? And what I should do about it? Thank You!

We got a dog from the local animal shelter. We found her on Tuesday and wanted to taker her home, but said she was in heat so we'd have to wait until they could spay/neuter her.

Thursday they called and said she was spayed. She has the stitches in. We brought her home that same night.

She still seems to be in her heat cycle. Even though she is spayed. Is this possible??

She is peeing (or acts like she's peeing, even though sometimes only 2 drops come out) every 15 minutes, inside the house. The pee is still a little bloody from being in heat.

Did it harm her that she was spayed in the middle of her heat? Is it normal for her to pee so much? Why would the shelter give her to us like this?

I have 4 cats & one cat bullies her & wont let her use the litter box. I'm moving to a new house in 1 mo. & have to get her retrained. I try to keep the bully cat away from her, but it never works. I put dog training pads on the floor for her & she goes on them mostly, but I need her to use the litter box. Any ideas! Thank You!

A female feral cat in my neighborhood looks like her ear has been tipped (cut 1/4 inch of her left ear) but she looks like she is pregnant too. Her stomach is out? Can there be a chance that her ear is not tipped or did I misread the situation. I felt her stomach and it is somewhat hard you can't press in too much. If she is pregnant I would like to trap & release her (TNR) but I don't want to do that if she is already neutered. I seen her in the summer and her left ear wasn't tipped. Any suggestions?

She was sitting on the desk and she backed up and fell. She tried to fly but when she hit the ground, her feather came out. Should I take her to the vet or is she fine? Please help

My cat is losing his hair and has sores and scabs all over him.
When I pet him I feel all kinds of scabs. And see bald spots.
He's not even old. he isnt even two yet. I don't know if its fleas or what? What else could this be? I don't want nothing bad to happen to my kitty. =(

Has a shelter ever denied you adopting an animal? What was the reason? Did you think it was fair? I don't need a lecture-I am an approved adopter. I just am curious.

Every dog has it's positive and negative physical and character traits. From the hardest to keep groomed, to the one that barks the most. What breed of dog would you NOT recommend for someone?
