well when we give him medicines, im in charge of holding him and holding his legs in a manner that he wont be able to scratch the one whos giving him the medicine..well the only way would be forcing the tube on his lips till he opens it, and we squirt the medicine when he opens his mouth.the same goes with tablets, we use a tweezer.so im just wondering if there's actually a more easy way of doing it coz every session takes an hour coz my cat wont cooperate,he keeps his mouth tightly shut and just wont open it.

Can goldfish survive in an outdoor pond during the winter even if the temperatures go below 0 degrees and the pond freezes over?

Will they need any food during that period?

Ok. I've always been against declawing a cat. I have two kitties and my male cat has effectively destroyed our three curtains in the living room and our shower curtain. Lately he's been clawing on the carpet and sofa. They have a huge four level cat tree house which our little girl cat uses. At what point is enough enough? To declaw is cruel but so would be giving him up to the pound as it's hard to give away a destructive cat. Hmm What'cha think

my mom has this thing about making my cat unhappy. he's an extrodinarily fussy thing, even Royal Canin Exigent doesnt work for him. I believe feeding a fussy cat tinned food will rot his teeth and cause him to have obesity problems and heart problems. It also sends a message out to the cat that he will get whatever he pleases, this might cause problems for us in later life.

Could anyone confirm these suspicions? If enough people can then I can show my mom this and maybe get her to listen. She thinks if he doesnt get what he wants it will make him unhappy.

I received a very abused and neglect puppy on Christmas and decided to take it in. It is 4 months and is really spunky.. He stays in the bathrom at night so that he wont jump on my toddler while she is sleeping, and he wont go in the bathroom but as soon as i open the bathroom door he runs onto the carpet and goes.. I take him out every hour a night... He usually goes.. I was told that he was a wolf hybred, but also told that there was no way that is had no features of it and was a husky lab. Any suggestions?

I have memories of my Dads 30 gallon saltwater tank, I'd like to start a Freshwater tank of my own, most likely 25 gallons. I have decided I want to have tropical fish in my tank. Where do I go next?

I have a question, if this has happened to you please let me know. My daughter's dwarf rabbit was in its cage and I picked her up and was petting her. I had one arm under her and one hand holding her neck area. Then I moved my hand by her neck and she took flight and jumped off of my other arm. She fell, I was sitting on the dining room chair, she fell onto the chair next to me and then on the floor. She at first ran along the side of the wall, then back towards me quite hastly. Then she fell to one side and froze. Her eyes were closed at first and then she opened them but did not move. I scooted her into her little carrying box. I'm just looking for advice, both how to care for her in the next few hours, also if she went into shock or is that something typically rabbits do if they fall? Has it happened to you? Thanks for any help given.

It is a champion bloodhound, not old enough yet though. Just for future reference.

My cat has been licking her back legs like crazy lately and her fur is noticably thinner and shorter around her back legs now. She doesn't have fleas. Coud this just be dry skin and if so do you think adding a little vegetable oil to her food will help. She terrified of the vet and I hate to put her through a visit if I don't have to. Thanks!

I have two dogs:

One full bred Beagle
and
One mixed-Beagle

About every week or so, my full bred Beagle produces this stinky, nasty, fishy smell. It comes from his bottom, and we have to go right in and wipe his bottom with a baby wipe and disinfect whatever he was sitting on, or wherever he was. My other mixed Beagle does the same, but it is not nearly as strong.

So, what can I do to stop this smell. Is it his diet? Does this happen to all dogs?
