I'm planning to have a goldfish in there, but I want another fish that can eat mosquitoes. I don't want any koi. Are there any others besides the mosquito eating fish and goldfish?

We're gonna get 2 puppies soon and need names for them. I know the name should suit the puppy's looks and personality etc but I'm just looking for some names (for females and/or males) so that we have a greater choice. Do you have any names in mind?

Background: The emergency vet thinks my kitten might have an ear infection. She is acting very sick and lethargic and squeals when you tough her head, especially one of her ears. He cleaned out her ears extensively and then gave her some drops to use to treat the infection. She also has some morphine drops we're putting under her tongue for the pain.

Other background is that when I adopted her from the shelter her ears were nasty. My vet cleaned them out somewhat and then put in some mite medicine. About a week later I noticed her acting withdrawn. I thought she had turned shy and would grow out of it but last night I realized it was medical when she meowed really loud when I touched her head.

My cat cries and cries at our bedroom door in the mornings when we have the door closed still. He used to pee on the bed so he's not allowed in there anymore. I was just wondering if they can sense that we are in there or if he cries even when we're not in there. Any explanation behind that?

i have a 7week old mix breed puppy that seems to have a extra claw on one of her back legs. Im just wondering could this be because she's a mix bread *mute*. And could this be any harm, its quite cute actually.

My 7wk. old male is really growing up the last 24hrs. Last night he staddled my lower leg and started to hump. I dont know if this is normal for a puppy at this age. I sure hope this is normal. I tell him No, pull him off, and distract him with a toy. Thank you!!

MY 7 wk. old daschund in "Playfully" nipping my toes and feet. When I tap him on the nose and say "No" its not working so far. I tapped him harder a few times but no success. He has nipped harder at me when I get his nose. I also dont want this to make him aggressive as he gets older. It breaks my heart when I do this but is there an easier and effective way out? Help.....I also want to thank everyone who helps people like me.

I have had my ferret for over a year and we just got a kitten today. My ferret {female} wanted to play with my kitten {male} and the kitten about had a holy fit, started growling and hissing and then drawed out the claws and got the ferret across the face but she was not bleeding or nothing more or less was letting my ferret know "don't bother me" . My question is will they ever get along and if so how should I help the process and how long will it take? I do not want to get rid of either one but I have had my ferret way to long to get rid of her. Looking for answers and suggestions.

I have a fairly big tank maybe 75 gallons or so, maybe more. Its 4 ft long. I have a lot of rocks and plants in it. I have about 7 african cichlids. They are anywhere from 2 to 5 inches in size. I've been thinking about putting up one of those fake backgrounds behind the tank that way you dont see straight through to the wall. I have a lot of money put into my tank between all the fish and big rocks. Do you think that will make my aquarium look cheap or tacky?

My cat is as fat as Garfield, and just as lazy as him too. I have tried reducing the ammount of food I put in her bowl but that hasn't really helped.

Ok, I have a set up with 2 females and 1 male. They get plenty of food and have a little wheel thing. They are fat and happy. All 3 are about 4 months old, and breed like crazy. One of the females has looked pregnant twice already (like ready to pop). Two days later, she doesn't look pregnant anymore and there are absolutely no signs of any babies. I found one drop of blood once, but I think that they would have more than 1 drop when having babies.
Is cannabalism high in mice? Can they eat the bones and everything without leaving a mess? Is their peusdopregnancy in mice?
