We don't know how old he is, as he does not have any of his teeth. I've never heard of a cat getting all of his teeth removed at once, so why would someone possibly do this to him?

He's also declawed and neutered. Is it possible someone had all of his teeth removed so that he couldn't bite them? He's the sweetest and friendliest cat I've ever met - been home for an hour, and already curled up in bed with us.

I personally don't like boston terriers because they jump all over me and scratch my arms and legs.and can never just lay in your lap and be still ya know....I'm thinking of getting a boxer but from what i've read I'm thinking they are like this too.. I want a inside dog who loves to cuddle and who doesn't shed. One who is loving but playful and protective.. Any suggestions?

I have a Female Boxer who is spayed and 8 yrs old,she is overweight and I can't seem to get the ratio of feed correct. She didn't like the food the Vet recommended and now the Vet has given up her practice to go back to school and I have to find another Vet,but want to get the dog's weight down. Any suggestions? She only goes into a 1/3 acre fenced(wooden) in backyard,I can't take her for walks due to the Pitt Bulls and stray dogs that are running around the neighborhood and nobody will do anything about making them pen them up or remove them from our area. We live in a very small town and the Police won't do anything with the dogs,everybody has complained and the problem is still here. Thanks for all answers that are helpful and the ones who are being ugly I will ignore you or report you for your postings.

Hmmmm yes I'm sending him to the vet in about 2 hours. I was curious, should i stick to herbal remedies to cure the ringworm or use prescription stuff fomr the vet? I don't want to pay all this money I don't have for something that may not work when i could have a cheap more effective herbal remedy? Anyone know any good remedies ?

My dog is 15, almost 16 years old. She is a mutt ( shelter rescue) and I absolutely adore her. However, this is getting extremely difficult to live with. She was always the best dog, especially as far as being housebroken. Now she just goes... sometimes right in front of me! I spend half of my life getting the smell out of the carpet with enzyme cleaners and my husband is getting rather upset about it. I just wondered if anyone else has had similar problems and what can be done. Thanks!

My cat is due to have a tooth removed under anesthetic. i've been told to starve him for 12hrs but that seems rather a long time.

I've had the tank up for three days with no fish in it. I put the water treatment and the bacteria treatment.

My fantail is in a 30 gallon tank with another fantail. both are older, one is 7 yrs and the one sick is 5yrs. The sick one is a calico fantail that stays at the bottom, does not feed much at all. He will swim to the surface for air or move if bothered. Once or twice he will turn on his side and then swim and straighten out. There appears to be no physical issues like ick or fin rot etc. We thought he was getting too fat, he appeared to get larger over the last couple months. The only other clue that must be related is that the tank has had issues with a white fungas(its white and looks like cotton until removed from the tank, then its like slime), it keeps growing in the rocks, I did a complete water and tank tear down and clean including the rocks two weeks ago but this stuff has appeared again. Help! I can't figure out what is happening. The other fish is fine swimming around, eating and protecting the sick fish by laying next to him.

I need a photo of what they look like, as well as what their personality is. Also, how much is a Pure Breed Chow? Could you get a chow at a Animal Shelter?

I looked at a compatiablity chart is it says that Dwarf Gourami should have no problems with a betta...this betta also attacks the Ghost Shrimp in with him. I haven't seen him attack the Dwarf Gourami but he shows his fins when he see it, where he does not usually show his fins to the shrimp, he just nips at thier legs

I am looking after a friend's cat. But they haven't changed the litter for ages. So what do I do? Do I need a special bag?

The growth does not bother her and it does not bleed. It does not get any larger or smaller. She has had it for one year.
