Ive noticed my pug hasn't been going since yesterday. Im a little worried and am giving it until tomorrow afternoon before i take her to the vet. I'm really hoping this is a passing thing and am wondering if there are any natural remedies anyone can recommend or has had any success with.

Lily is four months old and I noticed today that her hair on her head is gray/silver at the roots. Is something wrong with her? I worry about her a lot because at four months she has just reach one pound. I am thinking that is kind of small even for a yorkie?

I have two 4 month old American Pit puppies and they do great with Royal Canin puppy food. The thing is that I feed them with the large breed baby dog formula which costs about $16 a bag and its only 7 lbs. They finish one bag in about 3-4 days, so you guys can imagine how much money that costs me to feed them. I also tried buying the regular 35 lb large breed puppy formula which costs about $42 a bag. Today I had to buy 4 bags of baby dog formula because that's the one they digest better and I almost spent $70. I love Royal Canin but I'd like to know if there's another brand out there that could give the same results and at a lower price. I'm aware of the crude fat and protein levels or Royal Canin compared to other brands, and it is way higher. I really need an advice please...

Please help! 2 days ago we spotted a mouse in a room in my house. My dog is going crazy! He's really tiny and black so he blends in with the shadows. I just spotted him again! He keeps on crawling from beneath the wadrobe to under the vent along the wall. How do I get rid of him without hurting him? P.S. I want to keep him as a pet.

We just got our first bearded dragon.We have a great set-up. Propre lighting , H2O, greens, crickets and pellets. I have Checked alot of sites but nothing that talks about the eyes. Oz is Eating well. But one eye stays shut most of the time. When he does open it, it does not appear to be ozzing or infected. Bad eye Bill --as his new name ? or is this cause for worry? PS. could the fact that my sons Jam out to Green Day maxed out causing this.
Just kidding.

i already saw a vet and he said it most likely will not drop.....i have decided not to get him nuetered because in fact it takes away territorialness and instinct. Is there hard evidence that he will get cancer, or any ratios you can throw at me.

My pet store has been very trustworthy so far, and they don't keep puppies in stock, though they have little cages for oops-litter kittens that they adopt out *people bring in the kittens, you get a free cat with a $35 purchase of kitten supplies* Again, they NEVER have any puppies in the store *okay, pple bring theirs in sometimes*

Anyways, as an act of desperation, I asked for a price quote on the breed I"m after *papillon, if you must know* and was told that it would be less than four hundred, which is less than half the price from breeders. I'm told she would be vet checked, micro chiped, vaccinated, and pedigreed. The price is what throws me, because I'm told petsores over charge, and I'm sure that from this place I could get a reffund if something was horribly wrong *like it was the wrong breed, or some genetic disorder was discovered upon her vet visit* I've made no decission yet, but I see no red flags, either.

Tell me what could go wrong here?

When he moves his ears the left one folds up and points towards the left side of his head and stays there. We just took off the bandage today---is this natural? Will this straighten on its own?

Not sure how old these kittens are. but they are already eating and drinking out of bowls, although they sometimes still drink from the mother aswell.
