He is weak but alert. He has vomitted the contents of his stomach and is now bringing up just bile. There is plenty of rumbling noise from his stomach. Any advice?

How much would you pay for a dog? If so, what breed?
Is $750 too much for a Miniature Pinscher red nose with AKC papers? she comes from a long line of champions MinPins although i dont want her for breeding I just want a good looking pet with not much possibility of breed health issues you get from dirty kennels. the pup is 8wks and has her first shot along with heart worm treatment.

My collie/sheltie mix is about to turn a year old and has been spayed. The dog is a bottomless pit when it comes to food but never seems to put on any weight. She doesnt have an intestinal problem. Shes just really active. She always moving - Ive been training her in some agility courses to work off her energy, but it doesnt work.

Because she is so active and relatively thin (not bone thin, just scrawnny) I feed her basically however much she will eat. Should I continue to feed her as much as she wants, or will this be bad for her in the long run. I feed her Purina pro plan dry food and Pedigree wet if that helps. Plus sometimes I make her up chicken and rice because she loves it. I just dont want to make her fat or unhealthy when she gets older.

Jack Russell, 6 years old. She broke right back leg 1 year ago, vet put pin in (a couple times because it would come out of place) and then removed it after she healed. She favored it but would use it most of the time to walk (awkwardly since it bowed in a little) but stopped playing as much & gained alot of weight (she went from 12 pounds to about 25 - have her on weight control food now).

A year later she was limping on same leg when I came home, same vet did a physical and said it was a sprain (no xray) said it would take time to heal. It's been 2 months and there has been no improvement. She will tip-toe touch the ground for balance every once in a while, but I would say 95% of the time she is holding it up & not using it. She doesn't wince or anything if you touch it or move it, but now struggles to jump on to couch or bed & will often miss and fall down.

I will get xray this week, but if it says it's not broken, what can I do? I just want my baby to be better

Are they sick or is it a fatal deformity? About 30% seem to be afflicted and from past experience they will fade and die in a couple of weeks. From 500+ eggs I have approx 80 month-old babies. The affected ones still eat and seem normal except they lack balance and boyancy and struggle to stay off the bottom. They are growing normally but will soon slow down. Is this natural or a bacterial thing? The rest seem fine. Water quality is excellent and I use a UV sterilizer. Diet right now is live brine shrimp several times a day and care is taken to keep food clean, no shells or unhatched eggs. Seems to happen every batch to some extent. Any thought would be appreciated. By the way I have mastered raising from eggs to day 7 at about 95% but only about a 20% conversion to brine shrimp from day 7 to 12. Mortality drops to almost zero until this suspected swim bladder issue shows up at about day 21. Help, Thanks, Peter.

It is a female calico, Half of her head is orange and the other half is brown tigered. She is around 2 years old and was left in a garbage bag on the side of the road. She is very lazy, sleeps a lot even compared to other cats. Please no kiddie names.

After a seeing responses to a couple of other questions about coloring dogs, I just have to ask why do people think this is cruel? I'm thinking you don't understand the process. There are NO toxic chemicals being used. It's no more cruel than giving a dog a bath. What part of it do you find cruel? After watching and participating in several creative grooming competitions, and dying clients' dogs, I have yet to see one dog die or even suffer for it.

If you don't like the look of it, that's one thing, but that does not justify crying animal cruelty.

it bites at my hands, feet . and when i walk out of the room it will chase me and start to bite me . i was just wondering if there might be a reason. my guess was cause it is so young it is just playing with me. so might it calm down in the future or is this just the way that ferrets act. cause i read that ferrets are playful animals?

Lately, we've been noticing our cat is eating way too often. At first we used to feed him dry food which he really didn't care too much for, then we tried whiskas cat food in a can, which he didn't care for too much either but still more than the dry food. And now we have him on whiskas cuts, which are pieces of meat in with alot of gravy and he loves it!!! But, now he's always hungry for it and can never get enough. He eats more then 8 packets a day!!! HELP!!! Whats wrong, we don't want him to get too overweight which he already is cause of his eating habits now!!!!!!!Thanks!!!!!
