My Border Collie is very healthy and has maintained a good diet. He sometimes gets in small fights with my other dog. Whenever this happens there is a very strong odor of fish and both dogs begin licking the carpet for minutes on end. This also happens if my dog is suprised or scared and he begins to bark. I know he's fine but i'm just curious on what is causing this odor and discharge.

I have to take my cat to the vet on thursday and I know my cat isn't going to like this due to the fact she does not go outdoors. What is the vet going to do and how will the vet look after my cat being that I know the cat will act crazy around strangers. IS the vet going to give my cat a shot ? Put her under the gas so that they can see what's wrong with my cat? I just want to know how my cat who doesn't like strangers is going to be taken care of . Thanks .. And my cat is 15 years old 12/26/91 .

I got two new gorgeous kittens about a week ago. They act exactly like my old cats, except instead of them being a boy and a girl, they're 2 girls.
I used to have 2 cats, I loved them to bits and was distraught when they both died. That was about 3 years ago. Im still actually getting over the loss of them because they were so special to me. They had been with me for my whole life.

Now, ive got 2 new kittens, and I feel like im replacing my old cats somehow. I feel like im betraying my previous pets by getting the new ones.

And im finding it hard to love my gorgeous little kittens. They're very well behaved and dont scratch unless you provoke them.

What do I do to get over the loss of my old cats so I can love my new cats?

He's around 6-7 years old and a mutt. In the last two days he's refused to drink from his bowl, and won't even go near it. It hasn't been moved or changed, other than being refilled. He won't drink from any other bowls, but he will drink from my hand, so it's not the water.

I'm at a loss - help!

My boyfriend and I took our dog to our families' Christmas gatherings on Sunday and Monday. We were gone from home (but with our dog) from Sunday afternoon to Monday night. The dog knows both of our families extremely well and he stayed right by our side the entire time, but we went to three different houses, and I'd imagine it could cause some stress. He didn't really eat Sunday night or Monday morning, but he ate when we got home, and his appetite continues to be normal. Last night, he went diarrhea in one of the houses (he's NEVER had an accident in any house) and he's continued on with it till now. He's still eating and drinking plenty of water though and he's not dehydrated.

Could this have been brought on by the stress of the weekend?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

One of my baby red-eared slider turtles has a tiny wisp of what looks like mold growing out from beneath her shell, right above her neck. Is this normal?? The other one doesn't have it!

Do they shed or bark a lot? Do they require a lot of grooming and exercise?

We want to get a dog for our son, and he wants one too. He doesn't want a huge dog that will chase him like crazy. I am really confused on what would be the best type to get for a family, for my son to have a play mate. We have a decent sized backyard and will probably keep the dog inside.

We have a Boxer, he's very large (80+ Lbs) he'll be 2 yrs in the spring, so he's still considered a puppy. He's exteremly gentle and my daughter loves him to death (even rides him like a pony). Today, while I was at work & my hubby was making lunch he heard her scream. The dog had nipped her on her face (hard enough to slightly pierce the skin). She says she didn't do anything to cause his aggression - but she has been known to lie so that she doesn't get in trouble. The dog was immediately punished and spent the rest of the day in his cage.

Now I'm wondering if: #1 - I should find him a new home. #2 - Have him put down or #3 - Leave it as is but if it EVER happends again...he's gone.

We love him dearly - but not at the expence of our child's safety. For the time being - she will not ever be left alone with him.

I'll be contacting my Vet tomorow, but for right now - what's your oppinion???

Thanks

I have a 2.7 gallon tank with only three small pink minnows in it. I am thinking of getting another kind of fish. What kinds of fish can live with them comfortably, but so that my other fish don't get hurt or get eaten. Oh, by the way, the fish are only about 3/4 - 1 inch long.

Does anyone know where they sell doggie pajamas for small dogs with footies on them? Could you also provide a link to that website? Thanks!!!!!!

Like they say Torties are high maintence. Orange cats are hyperactive, etc. Also, stuff like most orange cats are boys and calico's are always girls. And the thing about white cats with blue eyes being deaf and blind (I know thats not always true, I've worked with many white cats)

Where do these sayings or rules come from? How often does it hold true? Websites would be helpful! Thanks!

You guys notice how there are certain people who show up and all of a sudden EVERYONE gets a thumbs down? (There's a new one in town recently.)

Regardless if they're giving good, bad or indifferent advice. It doesn't matter if someone is just sharing their own experience either.

You know.....it's wonderful to be knowledgeable and to share that with others, but giving everyone else a thumbs down only makes you look arrogant.

(Not talking about Tyke, I'm used to that one LOL)

And it doesn't bother me, really. So no lectures about not letting it get to me or that if I don't like it I should leave. I was just wondering i anyone else noticed the trend?

Go ahead...gimme your thumbs down! I want it!

The cat was just standing near the sofa and apparently the dog just snapped and tore the cat apart. The dog broke the cats neck & spine, ripped out an eye and cause internal bleeding. We had to put the cat down as there was nothing we could do to save it. This dog has been loved and treated as family all it's life. What happened? My initial reaction is to put the dog down as we have 3 small children. I need help to understand this. Thank you. I am not sure what kind of dog she is - possibly part pitbull.
