Just bought 2 Males ginuea pigs (10weeks old) for my daughter today. Have a large Very large cage for them and proper beding. The covered section for them to sleep in takes up one third of the cage - but one of the ginuea pigs keeps chasing the other out - is this the normal to have one more dominant than the other!!??? Or is this just a teething problem!!!!

Okay, I am about to become a first time horse owner. I need to know some important things. I know that I have to get stuff like, grooming stuff, saddle, bridle, blanket, halter, lead rope etc. But I'm confused about de-wormers, bot fly eggs, mosquitoes, and stuff like that, relating to small medical routine things that I'm supposed to do. I need help!

I'd also like to know about vet checkups? Do vets check the horse every year? About how much does it cost?

Also, how much does it cost to have the farrier trim the horse, no shoes, just trim, and how often does the horse need a trim, like every 3 months? I need some help.

My dog was recently neutered, and the vet noticed that one of his testicles was missing...he had an amputation at the same time, which was extensive so the vet decided not to open him up and search for the missing testicle. He says it must have been severed or severely injured in the accident that required his leg to be amputated. He says if I have problems with my dog and any aggressive male behaviors I should bring him in and they will do an exploratory looking for the missing testicle. Another vet says that when he is healed from the current surgery, he should have another to look for the testicle as ones that do not drop from the abdomen are more likely to turn to cancer...he is 2 years old so the testicle should have dropped by now right? Should I take him in after he recovers and get it checked out or listen to the first one and wait and see? Thank you for your answers...

I stated I think it is neat that some dogs can jump into the back of a truck. People said all kinds of stupid stuff. So I hope some of you read this. First off I just lost my best dog ever after 13 years of friendship. He never once rode in the back of my truck. Always in the cab. He never missed a vet appointment, and was very well taken care of. For the person who said grow up and have some kids and get married first. You really should read my bio. I have been married for 12 years and have 2 great animal loving kids.

He is 5 months old and I don't know what time schedule he needs to be on. How do I schedule the breaks through out the day? He seems to be sort of dumb. I tried the cage training be he ends up going in there and they lays all over it! It's really disgusting and I am getting frustrated. Please help!? :(

It lasted about 10 minutes then stopped but I don't know if anything happened to cause it or not. I just came home and found the blood drippers then found it coming from him.

My bird got out of it's cage and flew around the house and into the window a couple of times. Now the tip of it's beak is broken off, it is bleading a little and I put some flour on it to stop the bleeding. Is there anything else I can do? Will he be okay? Please help!!!
