My beloved female chocolate lab is 15. Recently she has become resistant to getting up to go outside to so her business. I sometimes have to carry her. She is eating and drinking. I have had her since she was three years old and love her very much, but don't want her to suffer. I don't think she is in pain except for when she doesn't want to walk. Dog lovers and dog experts....what do you think?

My poodle puppy is breathing weird. She is alittle over 12 weeks old and is up to date on all her shots. Her nose is wet and cold, she is eating well and acting fine. My concern is I can't really explain it but I will trying. She isn't coughing but she makes these weird noises like an owl and when she barks its like she has to catch her breath. Its sounds like when we have built up fluid in our lungs and when you breathe you make that crackling noise. She also snores bad. Help?

She is going to the vet on Thursday this week....they already know about this and told me that its just from the dental surgery she had and thats why she has a runny nose and drools alot. Every hour i wipe her nose with a wet cloth. I can tell it irritates her alot too because she will paw at it...and give her self a bloody nose from scratching herself.
What else can i do to make her nose less runny?

I just bought a new horse and he has white cloudy stuff in his ears. I have been told that it's ear mites. I have seen this before in other horses, but never in my own. Is this cloudy stuff ear mites, and if so whats the best way to treat it? I have also been told Vasoline works to cure it, but I want to be sure I am treating the right problem. Any suggestions?

I wanted to name my dog "Bob." Is there anything I should avoid? What about syllables? Is it better to have 1 or more than 1? Do dogs recognize certain names more?

This evening, my dog - an almost 3 year old male pug - peed on my sofa. He is completely potty trained and has not had an accident in the house in over a year so this is unusual behavior. I also discovered that he had pooped in the other room - which makes it even more troubling!

He has dealt with a lot of change lately:
1. He was recently boarded for a week with a relatively new vet - he has not been boarded very often, but has not ever acted out after returning home.
2. I recently got a new puppy - a female pug.

He had just been outside where I watched him pee and poop. Then he came in and him and the new puppy played for about 15 minutes (they appear to like each other - there has been no aggression) and then he just stopped playing and started peeing.

I have two thoughts:
1. This is a reaction to the new puppy, or anger from the boarding or
2. Bladder infection from the boarding

What do you think? Any advice? Should I make a vet appt?

I have two cats, both three years, and they have always used the litter box. Now they have suddenly started uninating in my son's room and in my bathtub. They still poop in the litter box. I keep the litter box clean. How can I get them to start peeing in the litter box again? This behavior has been going on for about a month.

This past summer Lily had a few fleas. I used Front Line, she has had multiple baths in the past six months. Pretty sure she doesn't have any fleas left since she also doesn't have nearly as much of that beautiful long hair left either. She is no longer allowed to sleep in my room because her constant itching and twitching keeps me awake at night. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tish

My older male cat has diabetes and requires 2 insulin shots a day. Is there any kind of diet or blood-suger lowering pills that I could give him to get him off insulin?

I walk my dog all the time. She loves to meet other dogs. However, she gets overexcited when she sees other dogs and sometimes wines when she can't go meet them. She begins to jump and wants to play with other dogs. Sometimes the other owner, doesn't want their dog to be greeted. I am just curious to ask why does she continue to do this, and how can I solve her little problem?

Ever since then, he will get attached to an item of clothing or blanket and drag it off. He will get this really low meow, find what he is attached to at that moment, drag it off and hunker down like he is humping it. My other kitty does not do this. Is there a way to get him to stop. Did they miss something when they were neutering him?
