I bought a boxer puppy for my soon to be husband back around easter time, its so cute and there bday is the same day, they let me take it when it was not even 2 months old the vet said it may have been to young, since the puppy has "cherry eye" from what the vet said that poses no harm, within the past 2 months her toungue has gone from hanging out a lilttle, cute to begin with, when she slept to hanging out at least an inch all the time the vet said its very common in boxers, i feel so bad for her plus I paid 600 for her from a breeder but I think all these problems may be becuase they sold her too young. Any thoughts or tips?

I have two turtles, they are red eared sliders or painted, I'm not sure which. Anyway, I have had one for about two years, and he is about 2.5 inches wide. My other one, I have had him for about a year and he is only an inch wide, tops. I have a reptile tank for them, its about a foot or more long and 8 inches wide. The water level is about 2-3 inches. I havegravel on the bottom and a stone frog. I just bought a floating dock which takes up a lot of room, but it floats so I had to raise the water level, which gets me to about 3 inches. The little turtle will not get on it and the big wedged under it and under the rocks and I am not sure why. With the higher water level, will my little turtle be alright? He didn't swim up to the surface to eat last night. I don't have a filter, but I do clean it every week.

After we had our daughter my cat went psycho. She would climb in my daughter's crib and pee and poop. We spoke to the vet and they said that cats are territorial. Well, my daughter in now three years old and everytime we let the cat in the house she craps on my daughter's bed. How do I get her to stop? It is disgusting. I try to keep the door shut when she is inside but sometimes I forget. I just want her to stop doing it.

Does anyone know anything about how to find a place to stud my Chesapeake Bay and how old he needs to be? He's only 4 months and I know it's too early now... but I figured I'd start asking. I'm in the Raleigh/Wake Forest part of NC. Thanks!!

Our older neutered dog is trying to hump our new 3 months old puppy. I understand older dog is establishing dominance over the new dog...Is there anything I can do to keep him from humping her.
The puppy chases him first and kinda buggs the older dog, we try to stop her from doing this but we can't always catch her 100% of the time. Our older dog is obedient, does not bite and he knows when I say "NO" , it means "NO" , however when I give him a stern "NO" in this situation, he can't help himself and keeps trying to hump her. Now the puppy is a puppy, so she growls, runs away and bite or scratch him in the face. And puppy knows the older dog does not bite, so she isn't really afraid of him.
I have to separate them when I am out, cuz I am afraid that he will hump her and intern she will scratch him in the eye, hurt the older dog. Is there anything I can do to stop these behaviors?
By the way, we adopted this puppy just 3 weeks ago, if that matters. Thanks in advance!

Hi.

I have a cat & i'm 3 months pregnant.

Is it true that they can sense when your pregnant because i didn't believe it but i'm starting to believe it now.

Can he sense that theres something going on inside me because he's acting all soft around me , awwww.

Billy ( my cat ) insists on sleeping on my stomach every night and he just won't leave me alone bless him, he's with me all the time.

I've looked online 4 some information but can't find anything really.

I have two chinchillas, a mother and a son homegrown. The mother turned 5 this year, the son 4. The son has no previous illnesses, but the mom had eye problems. They are separated, I only let them run around together once since I've noticed the mom's problems. Her fur under herchin is all matted and coming out, but the fur on her backside of her is perfect, and now the son is starting todevelop this too. My mom says it's a fungus. So how do we heal this? If untreated, what's going to happen? Is it fatal?

She is already going through the learning process about death. I lost a baby and she talks about it a lot. An uncle just died recently and we went to the funeral. My husband already buried the kitten. I did not want her to see it. I did not want to see it either so he took care of it because he has buried a few cats and dogs when he lived in the country and they got shot.
She died a few minutes after getting struck. I do not want to wait until she asks about it. She has flushed her fish. I am just worried that she will not take it well.

I have a six month old mini dachshund puppy who was born blind. He has no blood vessels in his eyes, and because of that, he never watched another dog chew, or walk, so he can't do either. When he was born, his mother refused to take him out of the sac, then refused to feed him. We tube fed him for a while, then he got an eye infection. His eye swelled up insanely. He's horribly expensive to keep, but he's such an angel. What I want to know if there is anything we can do for him. We brought him to a specialist who said there is nothing that can be done, and if there is, it'll be expensive. We don't have that kind of money. He's a long hair, so he can't get grip with his feet. Is there any kind of gripping boot or something we can use for him? The poor thing is losing all experience in life. We keep him in a baby playpen so he can't get hurt;;not that he can walk, anyway, but I really wish there was something I could use for him to be able to walk! Any ideas/suggestions?

I am a first-time horse buyer and would like to know what to look for and how much to pay for a horse. I have some experience in caring for horses, as I boarded one, but I have never ridden one! I read books & watched owners ride their horses, but never took any lessons. I have my eye on a 15hh paint gelding (quarter horse). he is 3 years old, and has had training for trail and has went through a desensitizing program. so he is very well behaved (gentle) and broke. he is listed for $2000. he is up to date on coggins,worming,shots, and farrier. is that a reasonable price, or should i try to work it down? the owner is going to do payments with me so what would a reasonable down payment and monthly payment be? I am going to be riding him at a walking pace, I am not into barrel racing or anything like that. Anything else I should know ?Thanks!I might do private lessons with this horse if i buy him, so I can learn to properly saddle and ride him!

When I run with my dog, he always pulls and pulls. When we pass another dog, he runs away from me completely. He's 150 pounds, so there’s no way 120 pound me can control him by brute force. Any suggestions would be great!

I wasn't sure if the care or regimen might be different due to the color as opposed to a darker dog. Thanks.

He just had surgery tuesday morning and on wednesday i came home and he had a couple large dark red almost purple spots next to his incision. Anyone know if this is bad? I called the vet and she thought it was from him licking at it. So I put the ecollar on him and now he wont do anything but sit there and look at me like he is really mad. When I take him out to walk he only goes a few steps before he sits down and wants to lick at the incision. He acts like he is in pain almost and hasn't urinated for 24 hours now. Anything I should be worried about? Also I started to put neosporin on the red spots.

My sis (dog groomer) heard about a website where you can customize your "designer dog." Like, click for size (teacup, mini, etc.), coat color, etc. Add to cart, pay now, and your dog will be bred just for you!

My first reaction was that of course such a thing doesn't exist! But then I got to thinking that, with the huge popularity of these "designer dogs" and the scores of people who want "teacup" anything, it's possible. Does anyone know of such a breeder or company?

And no, I'm NOT interested in ordering a customized dog. I'm just wondering if the demand for designer dogs has grown to this level.
