I have tried all the websites to find someone to contact reguarding what I believe to be a hybrid wolf. I need to communicate with someone who is highly knowledgeable in this field. I have lots of questions and need to get answers for safety purposes.

Thank you so much for any information.

Hoping to get specific knowledge on how to build a convincing rock wall for back and bottom of tank, with built in spaces for a power filter and heater. Is there a way to safely seal rock to the top of a sturdy acrylic tank, so that the top, back, and sides resemble a limestone cave?

I have 2 of them right now and this is for those who are against the breed. Do you judge case by case? Do you just look at the dog and decide that it is a horrible animal? What causes you to call a pit a bad dog. Statistics have shown that chows and rotties are just as dangerous as pits. I love all the dogs and believe that the breeds danger level is purely on their size apposed to the "breed". When different human races were attacked and judged on different levels it was always bad. When wild animals were hunted for being "bad" it always was recanted and now they are protected. Has killing and attacking what we don't understand or are afraid of EVER helped ANYTHING in history? Judge the deed NOT the breed.

I will readily admit to having forgotten his bi-monthly tank cleaning and I feel terrible about it. I have since cleaned the tank, added fresh aquarium salt (the amount specified for recovery of disease) and added some BettaFix Remedy, which has served me well in the past when he came home from the store with parasites. I have had him for about a year and a half now, and am exceptionally fond of him. He has had bloat several times in the past, which the pea trick cures every time, but this is definitely NOTHING like bloat. I cannot tell if the base of his fin is red because he is a red fish, but he holds the fin very close to his body, eats only a little bit, his gills look completely out of whack. I can't be sure if he has the white gunk on his fins from fungus or not. Can a fungus eat away at fins? How do you tell? Please help?

We have a 12 year old Lab(Lucy) who is shedding quite a bit right now. Granted we had a few days here in Indy that were above normal temps, but its back to normal now. Is this something that's harmless or is it something to be concerned about?

Why didn't you think about all this BEFORE you got the dog?

A dog shouldn't be an impulse purchase...

For those of you who have taken in strays or rescued puppies from fires, I don't blame you for asking, but those who go out and buy dogs...how can you purchase an animal and ask questions later?

I'll bet most people can tell us more about their new vehicle and how to care for it then they can their new dog.

Sorry if I offend anyone. I just don't understand!

my mouse just passed away, and i was wondering what other kinds of small or exotic mammals can live comfertably in a 10 gallon tank. Im not looking to replace him right away, however I would like to start doing some research on a few other kinds of small animals. Has anyone ever kept HAPPILY an exotic mammal in a 10 gallon? Im not speaking hampsters and gerbils.. thats a little... typical. I would like something to excite my family a little more than that.

I have a puppy, hes around 3 months old. And almost everyday he pukes, and just starting today his poop will be clear and liquid or really runny. My dad says its from his toys but I cant see how that would affect him.

My 1 year old lab/retriever mix. Is constantly jumping on me. Obedience class are not an option because as a puppy she had parvo. I have read a lot of training books and have tried, kneeing her, she just learn to jump you from behind, I tried to be a statue that didn't phase her. I've tried keeping her on a leash, than stepping on the leash...nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

Hello, I just got a chi and I am feeding her that pedigree soft food, the one that comes in the pouches. She had diarhia yesterday, so I gave her a bit of pedialite, and she woke up and pooped a healthy looking stool. I am not sure if i am feeding her the right stuff. Any suggestions?

She eats a lot. Her mating area looked kinda red. She's super affectionate. Just a sweetie! We're actively searching for her family via newspapers and fliers.

I have removed him from the tank as in his weakened state the other marine life i.e newts are nibbling at him. He is about 12" long and been healthy till recently.
He is currently in my bath tub in quarantine, but not making progress. Food untouched and limited movement?
I also had a small newt that disappeared, I think that the Pleco has eaten him? If the case, could the plecko be poisoned and if so do they recover.Please help

Not strictly a question but a reminder...
Pleeease make sure your animals have enough hay for bedding, plenty of food, fresh water and a warm waterproof cover over their hutch in the cold weather.

My Chihuahua is about 5 years old and weighs only 4lbs. She, like most Chihuahuas has a very big personality. She's dominant but still really sweet and not aggressive. I'd like to get a large dog (80-100lbs.). Are there any breeds that stand out as being good around very small dogs?
