13 year old all white cat, cloudiness in only one eye. Vision does not seem to be affected, still jumps up on high objects, like counters, table and dresser.

Hi, My dog was injured this weekend adn now has a bandage on her leg. She is dying to go for a walk adn run but as I was told by the vet , not to get the bandage wet, what can I put on it to make sure this doesnt happen? She is a dalmation adn needs her exercise, and I need to get back into her good books as she holds me responsible for taking her to that nasty place (the vet).

My Megan turned 10 in November and for the last week has been lying in my bedroom when I get home on top of "an accident". She will get up to eat or drink, but her back legs have been giving out lately. Last night she went outside and could not get back in. Her legs giving out again. We finally picked her up (ouch) and got her in. She has been crying all night. I'm afraid that its time. Any suggestions or ideas? Am I doing the right thing? She's seems like she is just miserable and disappointed in herself.

I purchased what I thought was a 3 pound at most, stud quality male. From WWW.YORKIEBABIEDOLLS.COM from Don Montgomery.
What I received at the air port was a 3 pound starved pup, ridden with coccidia, a second row of teeth, and definitely not of breeding quality. He is now a 6 pounder with a terrible coat and huge ears. But it gets worse, 2 months later he starts limping on his back leg. He was diagnosed with leg-calf Perthes disease and required a $1500 dollar surgery. This disease is inherited from this parents or someone in his parents line, I told Don about this yet he still breeds both the parents EVERY SINGLE HEAT!!! He has way to many females and I know now that he is running a puppymill. Don offers a health guarantee but he does not stand by it at all. I am just devastated that I did not do my research on THE BREEDER before I purchased. Don does all his business through the internet, so please spread the word on his horrible puppymill and hopefully we can put him out of business.
P.S. Fabio had his surgery and is recovering great!
Now Don is trying to call me a liar and say I am the only one to complain about his horrendous breeding practices ( BREEDING A FEMALE EVERY HEAT )
I have medical receipts proving how much the surgery was. But I will now purse a case for the price of the dog and the surgery costs.
I wish I didn’t have to go through this, but I truly know in my heart that he is BAD NEWS.
STAY WAY!!!!!

would like to hear from someone who actually bought a dog from one of these sites or who knows of someone close to the st louis area who breeds them, we have wanted another one for so long but you have to be very careful where you buy from.

I might be getting a Min Pin and I wanted too know if there is anything special I need to know about them. The one I am supposed to get is living in a crate and ignored. It needs a new home where it can roam free and get the love and attention it needs. I love dogs, have a lab mix that has been with me the past 14 yrs and is a member of my family. I want to make this new dog a member also but don't know a whole lot about them. Any info would be appreciated.

Idiot dog....I hope she was sprayed in the face that smelly *****. Either way, need help getting it off of her. Now, I think the humane society will put her to sleep, but that seems drastic. I'll clean her up if it's not too much work......

One opinion is that the Anaconda does not have powerful jaws & the other of coarse, is that it does.
Anacondas are powerful animals there is no question. However, it uses its strength (Its body) to coil & constrict its prey and then swallows it whole. Specifically, the power of the snakes jaws are in question.

My guess is that it really is no more than your typical adult German Shepard.

I had my toy poodle neuterd in 2/2006 at 6 mos of age. He has never humped me or any other person or dog. He is partial to stuffed pigs and bears and he has been humping alot this past two weeks. THis is my first dog so I over react alot but last night he had something red with a blub looking thing at the end and it was protruding from his penis. It was dragging on the floor and it scared my dog and freaked me out. It went back in within 10 min or so however he was very frightened for quite a while. Excuse my ignorance if this is normal. I need to know what it was.

Its pretty rainy outside and I have been waiting to get a crate. My dog is a shorthair aussie shepherd and he seems to have a cough. Does he have a cold? Should I give him doggy cough syrup? He's perfectly fine besides this cough and our 3 other dogs are fine (sleeping inside)

I have a foxface, Scopas Tang, yellow tailed damsel, and an engineer goby i've noticed some rubbing on things and a few dots on the fish i'm pretty sure its ich but i can't treat the tank because of inverts and live rock. i do have a small ten gallon tank that i could put them in to medicate. my local pet store told me he would loan me a filter that would take most the parasites out if i left it on for a couple hrs. but should i leave the fish in a seperate tank longer than that to medicate them also what should i medicate them with? and how long would it take them being left out of the tank for the parasites to starve off? from now on i will put new fish in the smaller tank first for a few weeks but for now i just need to know how to clean up this mess at hand.

They seem to be worse than useless as my dog's occasionally turn inwards and get hooked into the flesh.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why my puppy is throwing up this foam like liquid. She hasn't done it recently but a few weeks ago she did it at least twice. She has all her shots, I'm not sure if it's the food I feed her or if she's allergic to something or if she just keeps picking up crap from the floor and getting sick from it. Has anyone had this experience with their pups? I plan on taking her to the vet this week, I'm just wondering if anyone might know what is causing this. It actually looks like flem, but I'm not sure what it is.

My cat, Jabba, is front declawed. When he sits on the couch he takes his back claws and digs them into the couch and you can hear the fabric pop as his nails enter. No matter how much trimming of his nails we did, he would still do it. So we bought him some Soft Claws, they are silicone caps for cat’s nails; it’s a safe alternative to declawing. Well he wears them; however he isn't a fan of them. He has been wearing them for several months now, but lately, within the last month he has been taking off the same two middle toes on his right paw. We can put them on 3 times a day and within an hour of being let go he will have them removed. We have held him down for almost an hour just to let the glue dry, and have even watched him like a hawk, but sure enough within an hour or so they are off again. Those two nails seem slick; could they keep coming off easy because they have nothing to grip too? What if we used a nail file, VERY CAREFULLY, and filled a little of the nail so the glue had something to adhere too? Would that work? Has anyone tried Soft Claws and had this happen? I will take any advice. We seem to go through these things like water, but they are so AMAZING! Really work wonders.

I have had freshwater tanks but I really want a saltwater tank. What is an ideal size for a beginner? Is it a good idea to buy a used one? If I bought it new (say like a 40 gallon), how much would the tank and equipment be? What equipment do you need? How do you get the "salt" in the water? Most private saltwater tanks I see are filthy! How often would I have to clean it to keep it clean and how do you clean it? I would want maybe 3 different fish. What kinds of saltwater fish get along with each other? I also heard it is nearly impossible to keep seahorses alive in a tank. Is it possible? What are some of the average prices of fish? Are there special cleaning fish to help cut down on algae and what kind of live plants and coral can I add? Overall, with the tank and equipment and fish about what price range could I expect to pay (if I got used stuff and got 3 of the lesser expensive fish)? Sorry about all the questions. Even if you answer only one, it'll help!
