For some reason she will not stop "going" in my house!!!!
I take her out, and when its nice, she stays out for a little while, then, as soon as i let her in the house, she goes and pees or poos in my house!! I have caught her when she is doing it, tell her NO, and put her outside, it doesn't work.
We have been at this since I got her 4 months ago.
She is kennel trained at night, but i cant leave her locked up all day! She will go when she is outside, then comes in and goes inside again!

PLEASE please help....
can anyone give me some pointers on this????
I am doing everything I know to do, I watch her, she seems to wait 'til i look away, or something to go do it.

my appartment is small, and i don't have a lot of room, or i would keep her in the kitchen or something, but its not really possible to close it off.

I REALLY need help, or I am going to have to give her up. I cant have her ruining the carpet in the appartment!

She goes back to the same place and urinates again and again. We've tried sprays but we do not know how to get her to stop! I am looking for suggestions - please help!

I have a female Rottweiler who is almost 2 years old. I went on vacation last week after leaving my dog with a friend. I was gone for 10 days.

My friend told me my dog was sick. Throwing up, bloody stool, not wanting to go outside, not eating, etc. I told him to take her to the vet immediately. He didn't.

So, I come home from vacation and my dog is about 30 pounds lighter!! She looked like a skeleton. I took her to the Pet ER without delay.

The vet told me it was either Parvo or Intestinal parasites, and said further tests would be needed but performed neither of these tests (I didn't have enough cash on me, but promised I would run home while they tested my dog. They didn't believe me.)

They just shoved my sick dog back to me. She is puking, has bloody stools, won't eat, won't drink, and is losing more and more weight everyday.

They couldn't care less. They just wanted my $82 emergency fee. Why be a vet if you don't even care about animals?

What could be wrong with her? Worms?

He has done something to his shoulders or neck and is walking strangely, holding his chin close to his chest and walking with his front feet as if he's about to fall forward. I don't really know how else to describe it except he's acting really stiff. Some background is that a day before we noticed this problem, he had gotten out and we didn't know it. He was scratching at the door frantically and looked terrified when we opened the door.

Unfortunately, having the holiday season just go by, we don't have the money to take him to a vet and I just started a job at a Vet clinic as a Vet Tech and I think it'll be awhile before clinic benefits kick in. I'm really worried about him and was wondering if there was any Vet Techs out there that would know how to examine him at home to make sure it's not anything too serious.

I feed my 4 month old kitten 1/2 a can of food in the morning and 1/2 a can of food at night and leave dry food and water for him out all day long. Is this good enough?

We are used to dogs shedding by all means but it's been so long since we've had a puppy.
Are lab is 4 months 2 weeks old and is blowing his coat.
We brush him with the Furminator which helped tremendously... BUT... we heard that the first shedding of a puppy is the worst... is that true or a old wives tale?

ok i want to help these 3 dogs that came up in my yard. there was 2 girls & 1 boy. 1 girl is very pregnant & will have puppies very soon, the other girls paw is hurt, & the boy is very protective of them (not aggresive). the dog with the hurt paw (cocoa) is really hiper & loves to play but she will not put her hind paw on the ground. the dog that is pregnant (missy) is very skiddish & if i move to fast she jumps & runs. the boy (jack) is very playful but if i make 1 of the girls scared or anything he runs in front of them. i really like them(u can kinda tell cuz i named em) but cannot keep them. i think they belong to someone cuz theyre not skinny & jack has a collar on but it doesnt have a name on it. i really want to help them without keeping them or taking them to a vet. what could i do to help cocoas paw & help missy with her pregnancy & Jack?

I had an 8 year old common pleco that was about 11 inches long in a 55 gallon tank with various african chiclids. He was fed algae discs, cucumber and spinach and appeared to be in good health. The pH was 6.5 and the temp 72 degrees. He all of a sudden began swimming upside down and then floating vertically as if he was levitating. He then began gulping sporradically and developed bright red patches all over his body that were hot to the touch (almost like ruptured capillaries) but he did not go to the surface for air like plecos sometimes do. He died that night, but all of my other fish were not affected, it has been two weeks and they are fine, the filter is clean, the ammonia and nitrate levels are clean and the other fish have no paraties. What happened to my pleco?

This time it was a pit-bull, in September a baby was killed by two rottweilers. Usual suspects I'm afraid. Whilst the vast majority of owners of these two breeds are probably responsible people, the fact is that both these dog types can become lethally dangerous without ANY provocation. I'd like to see these breeds phased out as pets and no new ones sold. I also insist that ANYONE who has ANY breed of dog that becomes unnecessarily dangerous due to owner neglect should go to prison. Then things might sink into their THICK heads. No disrespect is intended to responsible owners. So should we imprison?, and should we phase out dangerous breeds?

My cat has little extra skin flaps on the outside of her ears. Do they serve a purpose? Why are they there?

My tap water seems to be the cause of high nitrate levels in my fish tank. Is there any product I can use to lower these levels or am I going to have to use bottled water(distilled or spring)?

She won't eat / drink an if she attempts it, it immediately (w/in 10 mins) comes right back up. She has no energy, an she won't get up to go to bathroom. Wherever she's at she pees. She don't even attempt to sit up or move. We go to move her, cause she's weak, an u notice that she's pee-ed. This has only been goin' on today. LN she seemed like her usual self. She didn't ingest anythin' poisonous or harmful to her. Can anyone help w/ suggestions?

About 6 months ago I bought 2 oscars. One looks like a tiger oscar and one looks like a albino oscar. The albino has grown 4 times it's original size while the other one has barely grown at all. They both seem healthy. I put in a tank seperater because the albino was chasing the little one. I just want to know how long it takes for this little guy to catch up with the other one. Any suggestions.

I have a black moor who I love so much. Today I got home and saw he was fine, then I went to take a shower. When I got out my room mate said he got his tail stuck in the filter. The filter has little tiny slits in it so it kinda scares me how this could have happened. His tail is pretty beat up and his left fin doesn't want to move unless it has to. He's still swimming and I seperated him from my other fish so they wouldn't pick on him. He ate when I fed him, but he tries so hard to get to the bottom, and when he finally makes it he gets tired, floats to the tops, stays there a minute, and then tries to swim to the bottom all over again. I'm scared he's gonna tire himself out. Does he have a chance of making it? And if so, or even if not, is there something I can do to make things easier on him?
