I'm getting my dog neutered next month. The clinic quoted me 200 dollars for the neutering, pain management, shots, and blood work when he gets neutered. This seems like a very fair price to me, but I was wondering what the blood work is for. Does anyone know?

The temp drops to near-freezing at night. One was not moving very much, did not drink or even eat the tasty treat. Next day she was okay. Then the same thing happened with another cat. I am trying to keep them hydrated so they will eat. They won't eat if they're not hydrated.

I have 4 cats and 1 puppy, and today I found a dead roundworm on the floor.
How can I know what it came from? Is it safe to treat all of my pets even if they aren't infected? And what is the best product to use that I can buy at the store, and not through a vet, without spending a fortune?

Is it fair for a young professional to have a dog? If I am working a forty hour work week out of necessity is it fair to bring a dog into that environment? I have been researching breeds for the past year and I am thinking a toy breed is out of the question, but the breeds I am most attracted to currently are Westies, Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers and Boston Terriers. I would do everything I could to alleviate stress with crate training, possibly doggie daycare two days a week, long walks, toys left for play, a sincere effort to come home for lunch breaks....but sometimes life happens and I can't get home....would a dog be okay and adapt to a routine like that? I am a homebody, and would be home or taking my dog with me most everywhere....I just want your opinions. I am single, in a new city and desperately seeking the companionship of a dog. Also, which breeds are better suited for being left alone at times? Should I rescue? or get a puppy that can grow into a routine? Thanks!

Hello. I am looking for a female whippet, preferably young, in the MI area or around it. No show-dogs, just a friendly pooch who's looking for a family. Any names come to mind? (of breeders, not for puppies ;D)

My mother-in-law just got a 7 wk old Jack Russell. It has been eating, drinking, and playing normally but we just noticed that it has a lump about the size of a ping pong ball on her lower abdomen. It doesn't seem to hurt her when we touch it. Anyone know what this could be??? Thanks in advance.

My puppy is getting his first haircut on Friday and I was wondering if I should tip the groomer and how much? He's a cocker spaniel and her fee for grooming him is fifty bucks.

I suspect he was in the kitty litter box. I called the Vet and left a voice mail. He's a pretty stout dachshund. I've read the label to the Tidy Cat and I've been on their website and nothing. He's been up all night and is throwing up some foamy grean/brown stuff that I'm hoping is bile and whatever nastiness he's eaten. PLEASE HELP. Anyone know how serious this is? He is just laying about. Anyone have a dog get sick from Tidy Cat? Thank you!

Glamoursteddy.com received our money and guaranteed an english bulldog puppy for a christmas gift. we have recieved many excuses as to why we have yet to get the pup. They won't return our calls. Get this! They are showing on their website that the pup has been sold. Where do we go from here, we just want our money back!

Hi All

I sadly lost one of my 3 dogs in a tragic drowning accident the week before Christmas. I am totally distraught and lost without her, she truly was a very special dog.

Cally was the playful dog out of my 3 (the other 2 are very docile and just sleep a lot of the time, they have always been like this). I really miss having a dog that wants to play fetc, get lots of attention etc.

I have always said that if anything happened to any of my dogs then I would rescue another dog as I feel I can offer them a great life.

How soon do you think I should look to adopt again, I have had dogs for 8 years and this is the first I have lost.

Should I do it sooner or leave myself to grieve.

Please no silly answers, any dog/pet lover will appreciate that this is a very tough time for me. Many Thanks

I don't want to spend a lot of money but don't want to compromise their nutrition either.

Ive heard taht when a cat tail plant gets caught in a dogs nose it comes alive and gives the dog worms in his nose. Anyway i went hunting yeserday with my dog and when we were finnished he was very red on his underside. A day later his reddness went away, but it was replaced with a whole bunch of little white pimples on his chest. Could this be because of the starthistle being poked on him???

I noticed yesterday that a few of my cat's teeth have what looks like bloodstains on them. If her gums have been bleeding, is this likely to be an infection? Or what else could it be? And what causes it?

we are both male. He purrs a lot and sleeps up against me on my arm usually. Or we both sleep on our backs and he puts the side of his head up against mine.
