I keep and breed mollies and other livebearers.Also i had a pair of mollies, Michelle(female, I named her that for some weird reasons) and Sliver.It was not long after they mated and I took Silver out to mate with other girls.But it seems that the once active and playful Michelle now sulk in a corner, missing her mate.Same goes to Silver who never eats any more and does not want to mate with other females.Is there any powerful bond between livebearers or it's just coincidence???

They are lovely animals, but they are just called 'Ma Thai' ie Thai Dog! I have a beautiful one called Lucky. She looks like an Abbysinian She Woolf or an Australian Dingo. (Google?)
France has the Poodle, Germany the Alsation etc, so what shall we call the Thai National Dog? Ma Thai is simply not good enough.

My mom went out to feed our dogs and found one of them laying in the yard. He can barely move, only seems to be able to lift his head a little bit. He also tries to move his legs, but he just can't get up. He seems to be breathing fine, but just groans when I can get him to wake up. He is drooling a lot and can't seem to open his eyes very much. The vet will not be open for a couple of hours, someone please help. This dog is only 6 months old.

I found a stray kitten and took her in. Shes all bones..very weak. I've been giving her kitten milk every 2-3 hours and following all directions. Keep her warm...etc.

I put a flea collar on her after bathing her because she had a bad flea problem! I had NOOO idea this was bad for her...shes very sick and weak and almost died this morning. She is doing a lot better now since taking the collar off...13 hours ago. Shes going to the vet in the morning. I'm so scared shes going to die. I continue to feed her, love her and keep her warm.

I'm wondering what can i do for her until her vet appt. I'm cant sleep im so scared shes going to die. Please any help is desperately needed. Pleeeeeease!!!!!!!!!

than adopt them out? My last question was one of anger after attempting to 'rescue' several dogs. After reading the numerous responses from others that are angry over the 'strict' rules to adopt an animal.....it appears to me that they would rather put the animal down than to adopt them out. This could only be for one reason....for the money donated and acquired from any government funding..........>>> If you have time, please read my last question about my adoption attempt and all the responses from others that have had problems for ridiculous reasons. Thanks.

Back in June, I was delighted to see that I had baby fish in my pond. I went on the BBC Nature Messageboards to report this great event but many of the comments that came back warned me of overcrowding, more and more babies year after year etc. I suggested nature may take its course (baby fish must have predators) but no one seemed to think anything would nab my baby fish and that the following summer I too would be pulling out my hair as my pond become more and more packed with fish.
My pond is a modest sized wildlife pond. about 10ft x 15ft and only about 2 an a half ft deep, recently I saw a Kingfisher sitting on the stool I sit on when pond watching and now my baby fish have all but vanished! Would a Kingfisher be able to fish in such shallow waters? I have also seen a water shrew (but not since the spring) and know we have a nest of rats close by because my cat keeps catching the babies. Anyone out there know who or what is the most likely culprit?

The pups were at home before we got the bigger one. She seemed to be getting along well with them till a few days ago. We initially thought she might have a urinary tract infection and gave her an antibiotic dosage. But it hasnt made any change and our vet says she doesn't seem to have any medical problem, that she just might want to urinate more. We take her out three to four times a day. Is that normal? As for urinating on the pups bed, is she being spiteful or just asserting herself as the alpha in the pack?

An old roommate had to move to a place that doesn't allow pets, so I took her 2yr old house cat into my home. I already had two cats of my own. Since all of the cats eat from the same bowls, I just fed her cat what mine ate, Friskies cat food, wet and dry. She told me her cat ate Purina Urinary formula but I didn't bother to buy it bc it's easier for them all the eat the same food. Now the cat has the worst diarreah and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?


Also, one of my cats constantly hisses and swats at the new cat, is there something I can do to help them get aquainted faster?

I bought home my gorgeous new 12 week old kitten on Thursday night, she's been really nervous - running to hide whenever she's unsure of something, but is gradually coming out of her shell to claim her rightful place as Queen on the house ;-D

I'm starting to get a little worried about her though. She's eating really well, I'm feeding her Whiskas kitten pouches and she has a bowl of dry food in case she gets the munchies, but she hasn't really bothered with that. She's not the biggest drinker, but knows where her water is and has had a few goes. She's been using her litter box well for urinating but I haven't seen her pass a stool yet & I'm starting to get concerned. I've read olive oil is good but other than that am out of ideas. I really don't want to pack her off to the vet in the cat carrier so soon as she's just starting to get her confidence around us (she really, really hated that thing when we bought her home).

Any advice?????
