I got 2 new gold fish this morning (12noon) and they are still hiding at the bottom of my tank (9pm). I have tried feeding them but they didnt go to the surface - they ate as the feed sunk to the bottom.

I understand that kittens need time to adjust to their new surroundings and are going to be nervous for a while. But I feel that I have to hold her and introduce myself to her and cuddle her at least once! Will she stop being nervous on her own? Can I trust that she'll come around?? How can I coax her out of wherever she is??

The parakeet flew out of the cage while i was cleaning the cage, and then all of the sudden it was flying around the room, and into the windows, then the cat came in and when the parakeet landed, the cat took it in it's mouth, the bird wasn't sruggling, just staying still but still alive, i got it out of it's mouth and put it back into it's cage. It was scared, but will it be ok?

my dog is 10, thats about 60 in dog years and she is always sleeping. This has been going on for about 2 or 3 weeks and shes not active at all. Her life span is supposed to last about 4 or 5 more years, but she seems like she could die any second. Is there any way i can make her happier or more active?

if so, how far can you clip them down without it hurting the rabbit? i cant hold her on me anymore cause the nails claw my skin.

So I have a budgie, and originally, I had a mirror that hung in his cage. He's gotten sadly attached to the mirror, and quite often when the mirror is in the cage, he will be unberably loud. For a budgie, I can understand it's a common behavior, so to quiet him down, I take the mirror out of the cage and he goes from screeching and screaming to pleasant singing, and making quieter noises. When he gets too loud, is it alright to remove the mirror and put it in later on when he calms down? Or should I take a different approach, and just leave the mirror in completely/remove the mirror completely?

My 2 kittens are going to the vet next week for their 3rd set of vaccinations, and the vet office is about a 15-20 minute walk from my apartment. The temperature here can get to about -10 C/15 F this time of year. Is that too cold to carry them to and from the vet in their carriers so I don't need to get 2 cabs or will they be fine? They are totally indoor cats so may not be used to the extreme temperature drop.

Is there an effective device that I can use? Of course, I've already spoken to the dog's owner.
That didn't help.

My daushund died Christmas Day of Parvo. The highschooler at the front desk at the Vet's office didn't tell the Vet we asked for boosters so Make sure you tell them yourself and save yourself what the kids and us went through.
So I took the G. Retreiever to the Vet the next day and she is clean. But she has diarrea(mucus in it) and vomits(everything she eats). They gave a stool hardner which ran out and something to calm her stomach but if that pill starts to wear out she gets sick again. I'm almost out of pills and it's a holiday. What do I do and what could this be?

I have a hamster cage that I'm not using. I cleaned it out and everything, but I am getting a gerbil and I wanted to know if I could keep it in there. Would the spacing on the bars be too wide?

I have a little Whippet who regardless of whether she wants the toy / chew or not will refuse to let my other dog enjoy it. She barks at him until he walks away! Or she steals it and sits on it so he can't have it. Any helpful suggestions?
