Thank you so much to everyone who responded to my original posting. Mr. Fish still lives thanks to all of your helpful advice, but I am having trouble controlling the biology & chemistry of his tank. At the moment, his ammonia & nitrite levels are spiking. I have been treating with Cycle, Prime (to remove ammonia, & detoxify Nitrite & Nitrate). I don't want to add too many chemicals, but am trying to balance that with not changing his water out too quickly so he doesn't go into shock (Followed advice of replicating original tank water sans pathogens and changing out slowly - all was fine until yesterday when the nitrite/ammonia levels starting going way up) . He has air, a filter, heater, etc. PH is 8.0. I have been feeding him algae tabs. Also, it appears there were baby snails in one of the plants as I now have about 5 snails in the tank. Do snails contribute to the ammonia levels? What do I do now? Pls don't say "ask the pet store". I've been to them all & they couldn't help.

I have a seven year old dachshund that still isn't house trained. He has been good about it off and on but now he is really bad about it. If he goes potty outside, we praise him and give him a treat, but he still craps in the house at least 5 times a week. Any good house training routines.

Well, I've already read some similar questions posted concerning this question but my dogs are not of a similar breed as the ones mentioned in other questions. First of all my dogs are pure breeds, English Bulldogs in fact. Secondly, they are of age: the female turned 2 yrs old in September and the male turned 1 last month. (I've spoken with professional breeders and they said that it was better for the female to be older than the male.) Anyway, I only want them to mate once because I know I'm not a professional and I don't plan to become one. I just want one small litter for myself and my family and then we will spay and neuter the dogs. However, the male is having trouble putting his "part" in her. He's doing the motion and trying real hard, and she's allowing him to, but he just can't seem to get it in. We're considering just having her artificially inseminated but should we just let nature take it's course? English Bulldogs are known for having trouble mating, any advice?

I've had my cat for 15 years and have become extremely attached to her since childhood.But now she is old and she is constantly sick.She also started doing the toilet everywhere in the house,so we got her a litter tray but it didn't solve the problem.We spent £100 on blood tests and nothing came back but she is being sick every day and its horrible!I love my cat...and shes content otherwise...anything that can be done?

This an update to my last two questions, just for everyone who helped me out. It turns out, it wasn't parvo or depression, it was the later stages of heartworm D:

Luckily, he has an 80 % of living, if we did the treatment. I was afriad we were going to have to put him to sleep, but my parents decided to go ahead with the $700 treatment. We have him on steroids, antibiotics, and dewormer (Hookworms aswell) and having to surrenge feed him.

We are starting the treatment next week, and it will take as long as three months to complete. Wish him luck!

My Cousins best friend who was 19 at the time had two dogs and the rescue helicopter said for her to leave the dogs and she stood her ground and they let her and her dogs on ......because if that ever go in the news that they abandoned a 19 year old that would look so bad ........People should always protect the helpless and personally i think that the selfish people who left their pets should suffer the same punishment.......If it were me i would never leave with out my pet NEVER ....how could you sleep at night
Why even get a pet if you are not going to at least guarantee it safety and good health..................My wife and I helped to rescue 11 dogs of Katrina and find loving homes for the innocent helpless traumatized dogs
