My 17 month old cat is now fully grown and is looking a bit overweight. However, I have weighed her and she is only a bit over 6 pounds. She is quite long-haired so I wonder if that's why she looks big?

My snail has died. His 2" around shell is sitting at the bottom of its 10 gallon home. I'm clearly aware that it cannot live without the shell, but I cannot find the dead snail anywhere in the tank. There is no possibility that it was eaten by its tankmates, they are molly fry hardly large enough to eat crumbled flake food let alone a snail weighing several grams.

I'm very concerned about the welfare of my fry and do not wish any harm to come to them. Do snails vanish like this when they die? Or is the body hiding somewhere that must be found before it rots away and wrecks my water?

So i got a Top Finaquarium starter kit 10, it's a 10 gallon tank. I have gotten it all set up and letting sit for 48 hours before getting fish, but the kit also came with a trial offer of Stress Coat and Stress Zyme, do i put that in now? or wait until i get the fish? Also when i do have to clean out 10% of the water, how would i go about doing that? How many fish do you think i can have? would f4 plus an alage eater be to many? And one more question. I'm getting tropical freshwater fish, it says to leave the light on 8-12 hours a day, is it bad if i leave it on plus or minus a few hours? And please feel free to give me anymore advice...i'm pretty new to this. i've only had goldfish in a bowl...from when i was like 6.

My cocker spaniel decided to eat most of my Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, and I'm sure that my two cats had a nibble or two also. I'm worried about them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

About once a week my cat's one eye will be watery and will shed a few "tears". What would cause this to happen and should I be worried? This started about a month or so ago and doesn't happend often but I am still concerned!

and if you never would euthanize an animal for any reason, keep it to yourself. i'm looking for reasons, not for general approval or disapproval of the act. so save the "that's so cruel!", and "how would you like it if someone killed you just because you got old or sick?" stuff, because it's not wanted here. and by the way, i hope they do put me to sleep once i'm too old and/or sick to enjoy my life. thanks in advance to everyone who answers sensibly.

So I need to make some money for my school trips that are quite expensive.

I'm thinking about dogwalking since I like dogs. But how should I do this all? Do you only walk people's dogs who are in your TOWN? and do you GO to the house and pick up there dog. or do they go to yours?? I know this substitute who lives close to my house.. she has a dog.. when I walk home from school I always see her walkingit.. shes always smiling when shes walking the dog. Should I ask her? And what if she says no...?

Does anyone have experience, ever been one as a buisness?

Given the advice from some of my other questions, I went to the PetSmart webpage to investigate certain issues for my dogs. Offhandedly I noticed a "doggy daycare", though it a cute idea, and checked it out. Imagine my shock to find that a major pet store practices breedisim... they will not accept *any* "bully breed" or any dog that looks like a bully breed. They have bought into and are *promoting* the bad rap against our beloved pets! here's the question: Do you not agree that this deserves a boycott?

I leave him out alot and I have got him to use newspaper most of the time (he won't use a litter box) But when he doesn't use the paper he always uses the corner by my door. I know it has alot to do with the smell so I probably need to steam clean it or something. But is there anything I could put there to keep him from going there? Or anything else I could do?

I dun get it. He was ok yesturday and suddently it just died?!?!

There was no signs at all and the rabbit was perfectly healthy. Can someone please tell me what I have done wrong? I placed 3 lion head bunnies in a very large outdoor enclosure. The enclosure is open air, however it is sheltered from rain and sun and the floor is cemented. The bunnies are often hopping around and today I find one laying upside down on its litter tray.

Should I have placed the bunnies in an enclosure? Would a cage be better? It was raining very heavily yesturday and the floor was rather wet. However ive provided loads of boxes for them to hide in case of rain. Each box has sawdust to keep them warm too.

ARGHHHHHH what did i do wrong?

Current diet - pellets and hay (Hagen brand)
