I got a 10 gallon fish tank for my birthday. I put fresh cold well water in the tank, and in the water I put corect amount of stress coat ( which removes any minerals or chlorine that existed in the tank) ammo lock, stress zyme, "proper PH", and aquarium salt for freshwater fish to " improve gill function, add electrolytes, and reduce stress." I also have a filter that works and everything. I've had 10 goldfish, and almost all of them died. WHAT IS GOING ON? -please answer

We know she ate them because we found a few pieces and think that we can feel them in her belly. We're very worried and it's late on a Sunday. Anyone have some advice? I'm about to call some vets but I don't think anyone is open.....

Just bc u own a cat doesnt mean ur better than a dog owner, vise versa!!!! Also cats & dogs have diff personalities & characters JUST LIKE humans! Stop focusing on them bein different. Did u ever hear of a cat playing fetch? Well mine does.etc..cats, dogs-I LUV THEM ALL=P

Has anyone ever heard of a continuous heat? I have had problems with a ***** I was trying to breed for the first time (on her third heat) I am experienced, with years of double registered purebred huskies and have never had problems like this female is giving me. I have already decided to spay her, but I dont know when as she seems to be having so many issues.

First thing was four months ago, regular heat, several sucessful ties, no babies

1 month ago, more ties, confused me completely! Was told it could be a split heat.

Now shes bleeding agian, and mating again. We live in a tiny city, so a vet trip will require a trip, which I plan on doing tomorrow. Has anyone ever heard of a disease in which the female stays in a continuous heat? Is something inside messed up, why would she be bleeding again? Again I plan on taking her in tomorrow, but does anyone know anything I can look up to figure out whats going on? She will be spayed as soon as its safe to do so.

My dog is trained to go potty outside. However, he does not let me know when he needs to go out. The whole summer he could go outside on his own when he needed to go. Now that the weather is colder and the door is closed, he cannot go outside unless he lets me know and I open the door. He either doesn't know how to let me know or he doesn't want to. Either way, I'm finding surprises every morning and sometimes throughout the day. I need help in training him. I've tried bells. He seems to be afraid of them. Any suggestions?

I have a new horse, she is a bay, and she is scared of walking through water, for example a pond, and I would really love if someone could give me a method or advice on how to help her to where she ain't scared or how she can get over it. Thanks.

Even if diluted with water and using a very small amount, is it OK to use a flea shampoo made for puppies on an adult cat? The puppies would weigh about the same as a cat even being over 12 weeks. My cats are infested and I don't have the puppies anymore so I have no use for the shampoo. Thnx.

I recently added my betta fish to my larger community fish tank. The betta seems to be chasing and nipping at all of the other fish. Is this normal? Or should I put him back in a tank by himself?

Just moved - beautiful area, lots of apple trees and plenty of birds. I just wasn't expecting to see raccoons. They are very destructive and I would like to get rid of them or at least deter them from coming around without hurting them. Any suggestions would be appreciated and you can be sure I will try anything.
