How would I introduce ghost shrimp to a tank? I have a small 1.5 gallon tank. Would I just dump them in from the top? Would they sink to the bottom?

My 4 year old cat goes through periods of where his bottom lip will swell. I thought about what could be causing this but it has done it for a long time now. It will get better then a month or so later it gets swollen again. I've thought of everything from bitting on paper to rubbing it on the screen looking out the window. He is a house cat and has had his claws removed as well as neutered. I've has him on a health diet since a kitten and even had to put him on a diet Science Diet formula due to his size.
I've moved residences with him and it puffed up at the old place too. Any ideas as to why his lip and chin could keep puffing up from month to month even though he don't bite on anything other than food?

I have 3, four month old kittens and they have a wicked food agression. They growl at the food bowl and even the water bowl. Happen to drop food on the floor and it's a free for all. They hiss and growl and claw you if you try to take it away. None of my other cats have this food aggression so why do they? How can I stop it before it becomes a HUGE issue?

I want to take my dog to the park and let him run, but the only safe place at the park is the fenced in tennis court (its a small park). However, people keep telling me that I shouldn't let my dog run on the tennis courts, something about their feet - whats the deal with tennis courts and what exactly can it do to my dog's feet?

my cat used to be so fat (around 17 pounds) now he is about 12 pounds. he is about 8 years old and has been healthy. recently he has been peeing and pooping in the house (something he has never done before) and so i took him to the vet and they took a urine and poop sample and everything was normal. that was about 3 weeks ago. i put him in the basement for about a week with food and water and a bed. he was also taking laxatone. hes been out of the basement about a week and hasnt had any accidents that i know of but he did vomit once. now he has been barely moving all day just sitting in one spot and sleeping. usually he follows me around all day but he just doesnt want to get up. what is wrong with him?

Luke_ah came to me about 2 months ago with very badly worn down paw pads and nails, a very dirty area under his neck neck and Very red southern parts. Since we have had him, the other conditions have healed but every time we take him to the park, his paws start to bleed. How log should it take for his pads to get tough again? How can I help him in the mean time, they get so bad that they bleed?

My three month old kitten has an extra tooth on the left side of his mouth. Its right beside the original tooth but under you can see that it is pushing the other tooth. Is this normal for him to have the extra tooth? is this why he is always biting me my boyfriend, wood,tables and many other weird things? has anuone had this experiences and did the tooth fall out and stay out? do i need to get it removed perminantly? how will i know if it is hurting him?

I have a male cat (about 7 mos) who is driving me crazy...I know he wants to mate because he's started spraying. I don't want to let him out unsupervised so I thought I'd "take him for a walk". How in the world do you take a cat for a walk?

He has been fixed, hes not spraying, hes peeing on the couch. He used to do it due to UTI's, they have cleared up but the old habit is still there. He only does it every now and then, but its enough to make the smell linger. Ive found something that removes the smell and urine for awhile, but he keeps going back!

Hes only four.

My boyfriend and I are getting a doggy. We are conflicted about the dog clothes issue. He thinks it's cute. I think it's a little creepy, and the dogs I see dressed up never look very comfortable.

Does anyone here actually dress thier dog, or know anyone who does? Do the dogs like it or no? And does it matter what breed it is? We are getting a pug, a boston terrier, or an english bulldog.

My vet has my beagle puppy getting a dhlpp shot every 3 weeks until he is 20 weeks old. Which means he will have 6 by the time he is done. And she also said that we cannot take him outside until they are all complete. Ive had dogs my whole life and I thought it was always that they just neededd 3 at 6 weeks 9 weeks and 12 weeks. Has any one else heard of puppysgetting 6 dhlpp shots?

My male cat, Stewie, is a little over 2 years old now. I felt kind of bad when I would leave for school for hours at a day and he was home by himself. So I got a female kitten, Phoenix, she's been living in my home for about 3 months now. But everytime my older cat would try to sleep, she would come up and try to play. He either just wakes up and moves or he starts growling at her. They do get along and Stewie follows her around to make sure she is OK. But how do I keep her from ruining my 2 year cat's nap???

I feed my cat Sicence Diet dry cat food. I have been looking at other questions and answers on yahoo.com, and a few people have said that Science Diet is not a good food, while others say it is one of the best. What ingredients are bad? Which are good? What is the very best cat food? I don't care about price. Also, I give my kitty 1 chewable vitamin every day...is that good? I'm getting conflicting answers.

A pet dog is obedient to his or her owner. Just like those dogs you see on tv that is well trained and other stuff.
