i found the cat two days ago and the cat is extremely skinny. its not yet full grown but its not a little kitten either. do you think maybe there is something wrong with her? or could she just be like going out of heat or something? because shes not like dripping blood but somtimes when im petting her outside she randomly pops a squat and pees but every now and then there is blood in her urine. what do u think i should do? i havent yet taken her to the vet because like i said its been only two days since she showed up.

I just adopted a 10-week-old puppy (chocolate lab/golden retriever mix) from the shelter and she play-bites all the time. It doesn't bother me, but I don't want her being a nuisance to my guests. How do I break her of this habit before it's too late?

I'm thinking of puting my 2 y.o. male Pembroke Welsh Corgi up for stud. What would be the best way to contact reputable breeders? Also what would be a reasonable stud fee to ask for a dog that is very close to the breed standard with an impressive pedigree?

The holidays are here and I always get so sad to see the puppies in the windows of pet stores...but why should I not buy one from there?

Please share with me and others on Yahoo Answers WHY I should or shouldn't (in your opinion), buy a dog from a pet store this holiday season.

Thanks!

Ever since puppyhood my dog has been flaky about coming inside when I call her. I've tried treats, etc., to make her come inside (i give them to her when she comes in, not while she's outside). I've tried being stern and being not so stern.. But she just doesn't come inside everytime I call her. She listens to my dad though, because he uses a very stern voice. But I'm not a guy so lol, even with that voice she doesn't listen to me or my mom. Anyway, apparently I must be doing something wrong or not enough or somethinG because she has yet to learn "come inside." Much to my dismay lol. Please help if any of you have had experience with this. Thanks so much :o)

My dog is two in a half, he is mostly a Chow Chow, Border Collie mix. I know that these breeds aren't exactly in love with water, but, my dog is terrified. He is so scared of water, that if you give him a dry rag, then he will play with it, but if you put any water on it, then lay it on the ground, he will sniff it, jump back, and start running! I'm not even gonna get started on how he acts when it's bath time! i want to know if there is a way to get him used to water, he needs a bath, and He won't stop running!

I have one red eared slider turtle, about 9 mos old in a 20 gallon aquarium with heater and all necessary lighting. After MANY different filter purchases I now have a Fluval 205 canister filter which worked awesome at first. It has the 3 chambers with the top 2 being the biomax and the bottom being the carbon and it also has the 4 sponge/foam filters in it. It lasted a month without me having to change the water and it stayed crystal clear. Since the first change, the water gets cloudy now after 2-3 days. I've torn the entire thing apart cleaning the hosing and all and doing partial water changes but for some reason it gets so cloudy within a few days I can't even see my turtle (Rocky) anymore. I desperately need some help as to what I'm doing wrong! Please help me and Rocky!!!

My little kitty, keeps climbing my tree, knocking off the top star and chewing on it. Right now, I have her locked up in my room with me so that she can't access the tree but I don't think its working out so well for the both of us...

I have a year and half old boxer mix, and we can't get her to stop chewing on the pads of her feet. We give her allergy medicine, treat the spots with benadryl, even did the "yucky" spray. She won't stop chewing! IT's gotten pretty bad and she has made herself bleed multiple times leading to a round of antibiotics. Anyone have any ideas? We don't want to muzzle or put the collar on because she'll just get right back at them when we take it off.

I was thinking about this and it hit me that what animals love about Christmas would be the essense of joy and love that they can feel from their owners and other people around this time of the year. Material things do not matter to animals regardless of what we think. It's the feeling we are experiencing at the time that we give our gifts to our pets that our animals are truly enjoying, It would be the tone in our voices our excitment that would bring excitment to them. At least this is my thoughts at this moment and I am curious to what others might think.

It can be anything even if it's not P.C. My biggest pet-peeve are people who are ignorant. One can be born stupid and there's not much that can be done about that, but ignorance can be cured by simiply seeking knowledge. I've got more, but this a number one for sure.

I can not afford a vet, and I think my dog Molly is going to die if I don't do something. She has decaying teeth and recently she stopped eating. She won't even eat her treats anymore. Sometimes when I try and feed her soft food she'll cry and toss her head to the side in pain. It makes me very sad! I know she's very hungry, but once she starts crying she runs and hides from me and won't eat anymore. I don't know if I should try and remove the tooth. She cries if i even touch the area so I havent been able to see in her mouth, so it could be even something else? I dont see any tumors or growths either. I don't want to lose Molly, she's only 8 years old. Thanks...

I'm confused, everyone I knew in Europe feed their cat with wet food, we fed out cat wet food (only premium brand) once a day and dry food all day. All the cats are healthy and regularly checked by the vet. The oldest one today is like 17 years old.

Now I'm in the US and we bought an 8 weeks old kitten, and the Vet told me not to feed the cat with wet food because the cat will get plugged?!?

He is the pet doctor, and I'm not, but it's really hard for me to believe that wet food is bad for my kitten-- when no other Vet told me anything like that for the past 15 years. Should I just change my Vet?

I have a sweet s-10 i don't get to drive so it just sits in my yard. My nieghbor has two mangy farm mutts that come into my yard in the middle of the night bark at my cats and pi$$ on every tire I have. My truck has nice aluminum rims and it's leaving stains on them. I find this unanaceptable, is it okay to deliver some 12 ga. justice here? I live in the country so there is no animal control. Speaking w/ the neighbor is not really an option, has has a 2 acre yard that comes within 10 feet of my house. I'm just waiting for the two mongrels to make those final steps.
