She is 9 years old and is acting crazy like a puppy. She is an inside dog. In the morning it wake us up crying. Her bed is in the kitchen and we have a gate for her to stay there, she has been fine all this year until a few weeks ago when she started to cry all the time and breathing very hard, she has like anxiety atacks. The last 2 days she has been jumping over the gate. Yesterday I found out that she chewed part of the gate trying to get out. I do not understand what is going on.

I have run out of Metacam and one of my dogs has pulled a tendon, what (if any) human grade painkillers can I give him to tide him over?
He is an 80 kilo Neapolitan Mastiff.

I need to find out what will happen-if there are any signs that she is going into labour, if i should keep my other dog away(the father), how long until i can touch the puppies myself, how long the labour roughley take, what happens if she doesnt burst the sacs herself and what signs should i look out for if she is struggling? How can i make it more comfortable for her? Basically i need advice on start to finish, this is my first experience, and i think she may be close to giving birth as i can see and feel the puppies moving and she is quite big.

I have a 7 month old rat terrier and live in a cold climate. I have a yard for him but the weather is so cold I don't want to leave him outside in it all day while I am at work (about 7 hours). Also, he is chewing so I can't leave him in the house all day alone. Will he do OK in the kennel (7x7) in the garage or should I just leave him out in the yard all day?

Ive been trying to inhibit biting in my puppy but everytime I try methods I have read, it seems to make it worse. Plus, she seems to like me less now and pays less attention to me. I was thinking about taking her to a class but as to the other problem, do you think she wont like me as her owner? I'm a bit worried.

I have two female cats - one 8, the other 9 months (we've had her for 3 months now). They usually keep their distance, but when the older one thinks we aren't looking she'll run up and agressively swat the kitten until the little one flips on her back. Sometimes she'll do it when the kitten is playing on her own (I've never seen them play together). There's no blood but the kitten is pretty scared of the older cat, always watching where she's at, etc.

The only time I know they're fine is when they eat - they'll sit together in the kitchen with no problems and they eat with their bowls next to each other. I know there's some jealousy between them and we try to give both a lot of attention.

Since we've only had her a few months, might they still be working out territorial issues? Do I need to interfere or let them fight it out? I know it's my older cat that's the problem.

My little 4-month old kitten is playful and rambunctious like the rest of them, and in between he is the sweetest little love-muffin. He climbs on me, purrs like a diesel engine, sleeps on me, gives kisses, head-butts, and all that good snuggly stuff. I love it!

Now, I've seen a lot of cats who don't like attention, are not lapcats, and want to be left alone -- and they have belonged to perfectly loving masters as far as I could tell.

Is it that my cat is just a happy guy because of our spoiling the heck out of him? Is it just a kitten thing he might grow out of? Or did I just get lucky by picking out a great cat and could have just as easily gotten a less lovable one?

Snuggly cats: Personality or result of care?

Oh, and FYI: he's a Traditional (apple-head) Siamese.

Hi,

I live in Norfolk, UK with my girlfriend and we have wanted to get a puppy for ages. We lived in a flat but have now moved to a house with a garden we decided that this is better for a pet.

Does anyone know where I could get a puppy? I can't afford to spend much and I like the idea of rehoming a puppy.

Thank you

I am wanting to get a bird for my son, I am pretty sure I want a parakeet, I had a few when I was little and I think it should be a good pet for him. What is a good price for one? Where is the best place to buy one? Are there any other birds that might make a better pet for a little boy. He will not be taking care of it, he is two and just likes to look at the birds and listen to them at the pet store and the park. Thanks!

I have heard from a couple of people that having certain types of pets such as Iguanas, hamspers, and pet rats will discourage house mice from infesting your home. Any truth to that or just a lot of hooy?

My 1 year old dog who is pretty well trained is starting to have some bad behavior when we're not home. She is totally fine when we're around, but when we leave we gate her into the kitchen. Not only did she chew the (wooden) baby gate into splinters, she also will go after anything on the counters. She's pretty tall so even if we push anything all the way back she still finds something. I would love suggestions for a humane way to keep her off of the counter. Like I said, she knows it's worng as she'd never do it while me or my husband is around. I am afraid she'll choke or hurt herself...
thanks!

My poor 2yr old Golden, I assume has allergies since he's always chewing at his feet. Not all the time, but enough to notice a problem. Is there any homemade treatment I can do for him to relieve the itching. I don't think it's necessary to take him to a vet, because I only take him for really serious problems. He's a healthy happy dog despite this one problem.
