About 3 or 4 days ago our puppy had his 12 week rabies shot. Today I noticed a pretty good sized lump between his shoulder blades, right where they gave the shot. Is this what is suposed to happen? I am kinda worried about him. It looks painful!

ok... we have two dogs... a cocker spaniel(3 yrs old) and a black lab(1 yr old). we got the black lab after one of our other dogs died. so we brought home the lab and now the cocker has an awful temper.. and we give them equal treatment... but the temper is only towards the lab not to us.. the cocker will go after her even if the lab is laying there on the floor doing nothing.. we have to keep them in separate rooms or put the cocker in her cage when she attacks.... do u think there is something wrong metally with her?! is there anything we can do to prevent this? like we feed them in two different rooms so the cocker doesnt get protective of her food...

I heard that giving cats a teaspoon of plain yogurt is good for them. My cat Zoey refused to taste plain yogurt when she was seven months old. Now she is over a year old. I offered her a little bit of my strawberry yogurt and she liked it. Should I give her plain yogurt instead?

I've been researching (my dogs' coats are terrible with dandruff) Canidae, Wellness, Innova, and Natural Balance. Natural balance is what I'm leaning towards.

Does anyone have any positive or negative experience with this food?

I have an almost 3 yr. old Lab/Pointer mix and an almost 2 yr. old JRT/Beagle mix.

Thanks!

Everytime she goes outside, she goes strait for some holes she's dug and keeps on digging, I don't know how to make her stop.

My dog is a black purebred standard poodle. He is eight years old and has had an almost constant ear infection in his right ear since he was a small puppy. We have had his ear surgically cleaned numerous times but the infection always returns, even if we treat it with drops and clean it daily. We have tried changing his diet also, but to no avail. We are considering having his right eardrum removed as a last resort to save him from the pain.

Does anyone know of a possible explanation/solution to his problem? I don't want to take out his eardrum but my mom says it might be the only way.

My kitty doesn't scratch me,except when playing and by accident, but I pretty much ask for it when he does scratch me, which is really rare.
For example, if I put my hand flat on the wall he'll try to jump and touch the hand, without his claws. But when he sees a black dot on the wall or something, he jumps on the wall with his claws out. I just find it weird. And also when I play with him sometimes he grabs my hand to his body(without his claws) and starts biting it. or something. But with a toy or stick or something he uses his claws to grab is bite it and stuff. I hope he never scratches me!
How does the cat know its me?Why doesn't he scratch like other kitties?

She's a mix but can anyone tell me what her ancestery might be? She is quite small (about 5 pounds) at a year old. She is very independent and doesn't like to be held or cuddled (except at naptime). She is very energetic and sleeps very little for a cat.

I saw a picture of a cat as big as a medium size dog and was told it was a breed. Does anyone know what the name of this breed is. These cats look like regular cats only they are huge, like a dog.

Does anyone know of a breeder or someone selling chocolate labs in the Gainesville, Florida area? I've searched on the net for breeders and labs for sale, but most either don't have any reasonably aged puppies, or want too much for a lab. I am looking for a male puppy (that is just off weaning...~8 weeks).

Just for the record: I do understand that purchasing a lab from a breeder will cost more money. I just don't think that $1,500 is a reasonable price to pay. =)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Twice now, my dog has keeled over, once after a coughing fit, and another time after a minor altercation with a smaller dog. Both times he collapsed and was still aware/breathing, but he could not move. This lasts for one minute, before he gets up and carries on like normal. We have taken him to the vet, but he only advises us to monitor it in the future. Any ideas? He is a one year old St Bernard?

I adopted a kitten who is about 4 months old (some of you may have seen my post about her spaying operation earlier) and she is just the sweetest thing. She loves to cuddle, and I've never met a cat who is so content just to sit with a human. Whenever I come on the computer, I bring her with me to sit and play with me, so she trusts and is used to me (we have to keep her in separate rooms due to our older cat who is not yet used to her). Today I brought her into the living room with me and she was laying with me as usual, and then she learned a new trick: run from across the room, onto the footrest, hop into the chair I am in, and bite my face. She did it so quickly that it hurt but didn't break the skin, so I yelled NO, but then she did it again twice! How do I discourage her from doing that? I know I should not pick her up to move her away, and I would never hurt her in any way, but if she is on top of me, what other option do I have but to pick her up?
