My family went away for ten days this fall, and a neighbor was taking care of my nine year old cat for us. When we came back, I was shocked. He looked like he'd been starved the whole ten days. But, being an avid mouser who really doesn't eat much dry food, it seemed odd that he'd gotten so skinny.

The neighbor came over, and told me she'd been concerned with his ravenous appettite and drop in weight, and so she'd brought him into her house to watch him and feed him some Thanksgiving turkey. That was when it became apparent that a tape worm was the issue. The cat was taken the next day to the vet, given the dewormer, and all traces of worm are gone. This was Oct.11.

My cat has yet to return to normal. A once avid mouser, he no longer wants to go outside. He seems to have lost all lust for life. Is this normal? Can I expect him to bounce back to normal?

we have three dogs, a mini pin and two german shepherds. the female shepherd is already two years old and quite behaved, the male, a young 9 month old, is so hyper. he has been digging around the yard; eating my plants, and gnawing on everything. i tried giving him all sorts of toys to nibble but he eventually gets back to my plants. please help :-)

I have a 10 month old female pit and she started bleeding today. Me and my husband intend to breed her. Alot of my husbands friends raise and breed pits and they tell him that it is best to breed on the 2nd heat. I beg to differ though..... All my life my family and I have bred and raised chiuauas (I know SPELLING) and the only reason we would not breed on the first heat is ONLY if they were 6-8 months old, but other than that, we would let them breed and nothing bad happened. Why are theses people telling us that it is bad to breed on the first heat? If we breed her now, she will be 1yr when she delievers. I have also had people tell me she is at the perfect age to breed her. I love my dog, just as if she was my kid and I don't want anything to happen to her! Please let me know what ya'll think... Thanks!

We have a male chiuahua that we want to breed with a female chiuahua. The dog's vet said that the first time she goes in heat we have to breed her. So that he is saying that we will only get to have puppies one time. He also said you have to have to neuter her at 8 months or she will get some kind of diesease.Is all of this true????

I want to get a new dog, but I don't know what type to get. I want something medium sized, and short haired. I don't want something common like a lab or a retriver. I was thinging about a german shepard, or a doverman, but we have kids in our house along with 2 daushunds. I am sick of small dogs, I need something that I can grow attached to, but I also want something not alot of people have. Does anyone know of any breeds that sound my type?

She only pees on my bed, not the floor or couch, just my bed. I don't understand it.

he was fine, but now, he keeps whining. he whines at the door, and looks out the window and whines, but there is nothing there!
my dad just brought him from a walk, so he was already outside.
he went into my living room and stopped, and whined again.
why is this happening/?
im starting to get freaked out
i brought him upstairs with me and he wanted to sit on my lap. and then he was all fidgety. when i let him down, he ran down the stairs (he usually likes being upstairs now)
hes not a puppy, ive had him for almost 2 years now.
any explanations?

O.K this is what happned, a few days ago my cat who is 10 years old got bitten in the lower back by a dog. I didn't see her until late that night. We took her to the vet, and she got operated on, and had the fluid that was in her drained out, now today, she has a bare back and tubes sticking out of her hips to drain excess fluid. We got her a litter box, deciding we don't want her to go outside that often, and defintley not for the next week. She used to have a litter box when she was younger, but i don't know if she knows how to use it or what it is. How can i show her? Please Help?

My dog was hit by a truck two weeks ago, We have taken her to a vet three times. Now she is shedding her hair in clumps, and we are not sure why. Does anybody know what could be causing this?

I have a white cat with blue eyes, he cross eyed, with poor vision, about 5 mo ago he started with drainage from his eyes no other symptoms, then the eyes got infected and I got Antibiotics from the Vet. it cleared up but is back still no other symptoms, I have come to the conclusion he is allergic to something, we live in the country and my cat stays outside all day and sleeps in at night, I have several other cats and they are fine. Now my question, I have some antibiotic eye drops (Polytrim OP ) from my 20 mo old son. I would like to stop this infection from getting worse do you think it would be safe to use these drops in my cats eyes? Or do you think I should just wait and call the Vet to be sure. Are cats sensitive to cedar or pine shavens? This is what the cat sleeps on.

The trap is non toxic but very sticky. I have done my best to cut off some fur and also gave her a bath, but there is still lots of glue stuck on some of her feet and around her tail? Any suggestions?

My female Pomeranian seems to be panting more than usual lately. She is about a year and a half, and has not been spayed yet, but she has not come in contact with any male dogs. Many times she just lays down and pants, and she constantly does it. She has been eating, drinking water, and her gums are pink, but still she just lays down and pants sometimes. She may be about to go into heat, but I am not sure because she has many other times, but this is the first time she has panted like this. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?

We got a purple, blue, and red crown-tail betta. What should we name him? We were thinking maybe Liberace or something flamboyant like that.
