My female cat is 2 years old, but yet unspayed because she only weighs about 3 pounds. She was the runt of the litter, and I am hesitant to have the operation done. I have two other spayed females, one of whom was spayed at about a year younger but a pound heavier, with no complications - except that afterward, she blew up to about 10 pounds. Is it safe to spay this one at this age?

Looking for replies from qualified veterinary personnel, but I welcome input from owners who have experience with this situation. Thanks.

My 7 month old German Shepherd has recently begun digging out under my fence. I have aproxximately 600 feet of backyard and am afraid she will get hurt or taken. She gets plenty of attention throughout the day with my two sons and also has plenty of toys. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just bought a Ram Cichlid and some Kribensis Cichlid's, how long will it take until they get acclimated to the tank and actually start swimming around more? The ram is just sitting there right now, I floated them in the water for 30 minutes, poured some tank water in their bag, etc..I bought 3 Kribensis Cichlid and only 1 ram, is this normal behavior?

They think they are being funny! I think it takes a very sick mind to even think of such mean,hateful& crule things to say about cats!

We have an 8mon old male boxer, we introduced him to our home and our 6yr old amstaff (who adores him) about 6 months ago. Since day one, hes acted very mucho with her and other people. He grawls and carry's on and on (he is playing, but it sounds so aggressive and hes not). I know his reasoning for doing this, is that he is trying to be the alpha male.

He knows i am his owner and he NEVER does it to me. But he literally picks on people who let him get away with it. Any advice on how to stop this?? should my husband have more of a active role in disciplining him, that way the pup knows he is not the alpha male?

I adopted my dog from a POUND, not a shelter, but a City POUND...
I got him as a little 'very sick' pup. He had bad skin, was all bones, and was starving. They said he was going to die, but I had just lost my DOG "best friend" to liver failure and this little guy maybe I could save... So i adopted him and took him home, he went through a stage of even caughing up worm larve, he had to be dewormed every 2 weeks for about 3 months. He was infested with mites, and fleas. I gave him medicated baths, with good shampoo from the vet, and did everyting I thought right??? But he is now 11months old and, when my family was here for thanksgiving....

My cousin said he started to scream and run around in circles biting him self...and fell to the ground...


Didnt think much of it until, i noticed he could not walk good, and would not eat, I took him to the vet and they said he had BAD Rickets and Muscle spasms.

What should I do. Is there anything I should do. He is on Muscle relaxents/roids

I have had tons of problems with fleas over the last two months. I have cleaned like crazy, and my chi has been on Advantage (which worked for a week) and Frontline Plus (which doesn't seem to work at all). I am considering Program but I am wondering if I would be able to bathe her. The Program would help with the eggs, etc. The bath would help with the adult fleas. What do you think?
