Hi!

Well I have a 17 week old staffie bull terrier puppy, and over the last few days his poo has been getting softer and sloppy (I hope none of you are eating your tea!! lol) He is acting normal, sleeping, eating bit less, but still eats well. He plays and generally he is ok.
We use a dry dog food and usually add water to it, but last week my fella gave him just the same food but dry. Could it be this? as we dont feed him human food or anything like that... I am worried he may be ill, I wouldnt know what do if he was badly ill!

Any advice appreciated

So far "Virgina Woof Dog Daycare" seems to be leading the pack (sorry) but I welcome any other suggestions. The ideal place would separate small and large dogs, be cage free, and provide web-cams for worried owners to spy on their dogs.

This dog is not mine, she is my girlfriend's parent's. I like to take her for walks in open fields though. I'd like to let her off of her leash, but I'm afraid she will just run wild and I'll never get her back. For now I just want her to have my attention, listen to me, and stop yanking on my leash. I know she is a sled dog, but she still needs to know some commands! She is only a year old by the way, so I'm sure she can still be molded! Thanks!

Just found out my guppy is a girl since she got pregnant. Her name used to be Nemo because she is orange yellow and red, but that just doesn't seem to fit anymore. Any suggestions??

My cat seems to be real hyper. She growls and spits when she doesn't get her way. She is about one yr old.

Obviously, all the breeds of dogs "recognized" by the AKC were mutts at one point in time. In order to get the purebred dogs that we have today, other dogs had to be bred to another breed of dog. Am I not correct? So people who are breeding mutts today, such as a Pom/Poodle mix, or a Labradoodle down the road may have a recognized breed by the AKC. It only takes so many generations of breeding in order to get the AKC to recognize a mutt as a purebred.

So, I would say, rather then telling people not to breed the dogs that they want to breed, just tell them they are not a recognized breed as of yet.

You never know, that Labradoodle 20 years down the road may be in Westminster and win BIS.

I got this off a site...

As an immediate measure, remove the turtle from the water except for a 30 minute bath twice a day;

does this go for an aquatic turtle, such as a red eared slider? I thought they HAD to have water to be in at all times. Can I take her out and only offer a very small amount of water, and have her be ok? and for how long should I make her stay out of the water?

The ones with bells instead of vibration do not work.Pet Peeves in Goodwood On. used to sell them. They have moved or gone out of business.We use the vibrating feature,NOT the shock unless absolutely necessary.

I have a German Import German Shepherd who has always been on the lean size. He is 2 years old & has fell down to 70 pounds. I took him to the vet who ran blood tests, checked his liver, kidneys; checked for parasites including heartworms, thyroid etc. Everything came back normal & she said all that they could find is that he has an extremely high metablosim rate. She also outfitted him with some kind of special pedometer to see how far he runs a day. The pedometer clocked him at around 10 miles a day (we live on several acres of land) . He is an EXTREMELY driven dog~~at 7 months old he was tracking 600 yards in 30 minutes & his prey drive is astounding!

We put him in a 40x80 foot dog lot at the vets suggestion to try & keep him from running so much but he just ran the dog lot all day. He comes inside when he wishes & gets plenty of attention.

More in the comment section because I have run out of room!

Every day l watch my neighbours fat cat climb into my garden, it wanders up to my favourite pear tree and begins to scratch its claws into it for ages, now that pear tree is only young and maybe wont last the winter at this rate. I was thinking, if l fired a soft pickled onion at the cat from my catapult, will it be against the law? I dont want to shoot it with my gun because thats cruel, lm thinking maybe the cat would smell the onion next time it comes in my garden and remember he got shot by it and leave, make sense?

We recently had to treat our dogs with Revolution for Sarcoptic mange. We rescued a stray puppy without realizing that he had mange. After 8 weeks, the other dogs in our house started showing symptoms. We treated them all with Revolution, per the vet's orders. This was about 2 weeks ago, and within the last few days, 2 out 4 dogs have developed blisters around their mouths. The puppy that started everything does not have any. They do not seem to affect them very much, but one dog does not want to eat as well. Any help would be great! Thanks!

I see a lot of people on here asking how long they have to wait before they can take their puppy home or what to feed their pet or(my personal favorite) if cats can see through walls. If you don't know simple things like that maybe you shouldn't have an animal. It makes me so angry when people get an animal and can't/don't take care of it.

I am from Toronto, Canada. My cable provider is Rogers. I have Animal Planet and Discovery Channel but I can't find the Eukanuba 2006 Dog Show that is supposed to be shown at 8pm ET which is held live in Long Beach, California on 2nd and 3rd of December on my Animal Planet and Discovery Channel listing not at any time (the titles are different). Why is that? I don't want to miss the show. Can someone please help? Thank you!

My daughter won this little goldfish in a bag about 7 yrs ago...really...and it is still with us..it body is about 4 inches long not including its huge fins..we named hin JAWS because he eats every other fish we tried to put with him...so he has lived alone for the last 5 yrs in his own tank(oh_one fish did put up a good fight because it bit one of JAW"s side fins off) , so sometimes he swims in circles..but he's very healthy - has a few grey scales ...i was just wondering if this is an unusually long lived fishy?

I have had my goldfish for 5 weeks, the past few days she has slowed down, and rarely swims around. I have noticed a red mark on one side of its body, it looks sore but I'm not sure whats wrong. I think it is missing a fin on that side. whats wrong?

I am concerned. I picked up a Labradodle puppy yesterday and he only lays around. I thought puppies were very curious creatures that had to be in everything. Especially a lab mix. Is he just getting comfortable or do you think I will have essentially a lap dog when I was looking for someone to run and play fetch with?
