I know he cannot visit the groomer until he has finished his vaccinations. I am not comfortable with doing it myself. Any suggestions on mobile grooming in NYC? Is this even a good idea?

I have a cat I have had since I was five years old. He is almost 11. He is fixed and is in good health. I used to let him in and out, but he fights other cats too much so now I keep him inside with my 3 year old inside cat. How long do you believe he will live? I have had him so long that it is going to be really sad the day he dies. Almost like losing a little brother. Please tell me some info.

Because all birds are sitting on the top of everybody's statue and littering and spoiling. They are scared of sitting and littering Mahatma Ghandi's statue. It is simple why?

What does it mean a when a stray, injured cat mews constantly at a human? Tail down, head level or down, neither advancing nor retreating. Is it a plea for help or a warning to leave it alone?

My grandaughter asked me this question on my 50th birthday, and I just told her dogs are like boys, they are just too happy & dumb.they don't have wonderful things to do like girls, polishing fingernails, changing our clothes, & grooming. Is this a good answer for a 6 year old girl?

My ammonia is too high.. It is testing around 1 and my nitrate is at 10 what should I do? I don't feel that much..

My PH is good at 8.2 and my nitrite is good at 0..

Any suggestions?

My filters are pretty loud and you can hear the water which sounds like a waterfall, what can I do to reduce noise? It's the 2 tubes on the top of the tank which are clear and filter the water.

THANKS FOR THE HELP

We used to keep our pomeranian in the house until he started peeing everywhere(don't worry, we don't keep him outside). We put like 6 peeing pads all over the house and he pees on curtains, couches, any furniture. We walk him in the morning, and he pees, but he never does the other thing. So, when we get home he always poops somewhere else(sometimes on the peeing pad). But, he ruins all the really expensive furniture and then it smells. What should I do?

At first my golden retriever was very nice to other dogs and always wanted to play with them. But after a while he started to attack them. Every time he sees another dog all of his hair on his back stands up and he starts to bark. He runs and tries to bite the other dogs. And he has before.The thing is that the other dogs give him no reason to do this? Why is he doing this and is there a way to stop him?

I have an 8 week old pug and i noticed after a while she would shake for 5 to 10 seconds or until i gently shook her to wake her up. They are not like little dreams, she would be in a deep sleep and then her whole body would shake alot and i noticed her eyes shook with it until i woke her which is hard when she is shaking uncontrolably like this.

We got our german shepard from the local vet. They said they found him in Indianapolis so we took him. About a year or so he started to attack our dachshund but didnt hurt him intil two nights ago (bad fight) we called our vet and they said that its normal but 4 holes on another dog isnt normal. What should we do?

I need someones help fast!! My BETA fish is so sick and I can't stop crying! His name is French Toast and he is the happiest friendliest beta I've ever had, but I think he is dying and it is all my fault! He was FINE until today.... I took him and transported him in the car to my new apartment. As soon as we got to the location I changed his water and everything. Not soon after did I notice a diffrence in his behavior. He looks like he is struggling to breathe... he sits at the top of the tank not moving and when I tap the tank he starts to sink down. The front of his face has turned a little red too... it's like he gave up and dosn't want to live. I don't want my friend to die on Christmas can anyone help me?? I'll try anything to help him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont know what I did wrong but It's my fault

My cat loves them. I think it's something about the smell or the juice. He'll rub himself in it.
