My brother is 17 years older than me so he has been on his own in the real world. But he had a problem with his roomate and moved in with my mom and me. I have a 3 year female yellow lab. He brought his 5 year old female yellow ab with him. They were doing fine. But on morning I was sitting on the floor watching tv and his dog lept at my dog. My dog attacked back and now they both are in seperate rooms with big bloody scars. I want my brother to feel welcome and I dont want him to move out just because our dogs dont get along. I dont want the dogs to have to stay in seperate rooms. How can I get them to play nicely with each other without them fighting?

I have a 2 year old Malinois that just NEVER seems to get tired. If I throw the ball 100 times, she brings it back 101 times. She also does these insane acrobatics in any attempt to catch the ball. Is there any chance of her hurting herself or does she know her limits?

Yes, you read that right. My Yorkshire/scottish mix is a bit insecure but also has an agressive side. She barks and lunges at various people and passerbys but when someone kneals down to pet her she wets. I have to constantly remind guests to ignore her upon entering my house because if they give her attention she'll submissively pee. (she only barks and lunges until the point of meeting them, then she's fine). She is a very smart dog and heeds my commands well (sit, down, roll over, stay all without hesitation). She goes for long walks and heels well other than an occasional lunge or bark with children are rushing around or another dog is barking at her.
I have tried punishment and I have tried ignoring it (the ignoring it thing has reduced accidents which is good) but nothing completely stops this behavior. Does anyone have any ideas?

My horse is going in Monday for Cryotherapy (freezing off) Squamous Cell Carcinoma ON her eye. I am wondering if anyone here has experience with freezing anything on the eye- or any eye procedures. Can I expect full vision? Will it most likely damage some of her vision?
Any info on related topics would be great.

My 14 yr old diabetic dog (who is also blind) eye is swollen and was sealed shut when I came home from work. I called Vet IMMEDIATLY and told them what had happened. They said just bring her in tomorrow morning it doesnt sound serious, but I am worried.What would cause her eye to swell and look as if its pushing forward? I put a warm compress on, and the eye opened a bit more. Has anyone else's dog ever had that happen? I think its more than an eye infection. Last night she was trying to paw and would wimper, but after checking her out I found nothing, until today. Am I being over dramatic, or should I just take her to the emergency clinic tonight?

FYI She is eating and drinking as normally..Thanks!

i just recently put my betta in a 40 gallon tank and once i put him in he got really mad like if he was going to attack another male betta (he is the only one in the tank anyways) does this mean he doesnt like it, should i take him out and put him back in his other home that he seems to love much more?

My dog is the epitome of annoying. I can never get her to stop barking and she bites at people's feet. She doesn't know when to stop and I'm starting to hate her. I don't have any money for lessons and I'm lost...What should I do?

And then cry about it when they have a problem dog on their hands?

In order to be the alpha you have to be stern! You have to constantly put the dog in it's place. You're not hurting it's feelings by correcting it. Dogs WANT that from their alpha!

You have to establish it's place in the pack and that place better be BELOW you!

I spoil my dogs, but they know darn well that I'm in charge. They get to sleep on the bed, they go everywhere with us, they get a ton a of treats, etc. etc. but when I tell one of them to get in the tub for a bath, whether they like it or not....they LISTEN!

I put her outside for about 15 minutes if she pees or poops in the house, and she just sits at the door and barks constantly. Then, if I put her on a leash to go for a walk, I have to pull her the whole way. Will she get used to this stuff after a while?

I'm researching small breed dogs for my family, I have an Akita Shepard mix who is well socialized & loves small dogs will be having a family in the next 5 years, I want to have my pets established for the early days...lol. Anyway, this breed looks interesting but I'd love to know any personal experience you have with the breed. We are a very active family, hiking, backpacking, camping etc. The small dog would go with us but be catered to, as in stuck in a pack when she got tired, sleeps inside the tent with us...etc...

Here's the situation on my cat dilemna. Marshall finally came out last night and wasn't ill-just stressed. He purred, smiled, rubbed his head and body next to me, and wanted plenty of tummy rubs as promised. Last night he meowed through the most of the night, until I relented at 3:15 this morning to pet him, though that's a no-one, since I'm a light sleeper. He stopped after I left. Since Wylie hides now and Marshall was out, we tried Sweet Pea with Marshall. Twice, Sweet Pea was silent. The first time she looked at Marshall, and Marshall did the same. No movement or sounds from both cats. Just now, she didn't want to come out the bathroom, and saw him for a second. Then she walked away. That's odd. Marshall looked at her and saw nothing. What does this mean? She's not interested? Is it a good or bad sign? I'm baffled. Tomorrow my brother's coming over to see what happens with the three cats after we remove the gate after a week in my old bedroom. Anything to offer?
