i always end up taking apart the whole tanking and cleaning it. I am guessing its algae but im not sure i have a 10 gallon coldwater aquarium with goldfish inside and i would like to know how to prevent this green gunk from forming, as i know im not supposed to have to take apart the whole aquarium to clean it, but with this green algae it seems like there is no other way

I have three cats and we feed them all at the same time every day. Once in the morning. I don't know if you're supposed to feed a cat more than once a day, we usually don't because one of the cats always throws up if we feed him twice in one day... But, they've never complained or begged for food except in the morning. A couple of days ago one of my cats started meowing this horrible gravely crying meow while he was sitting in front of the food bin. He had been fed that morning but he sounded so pitiful that we fed him again. He almost jumped into the food bin when we opened it and then ate ravenously like he couldn't eat it fast enough. He's been doing that ever since for about 3 days now with the same meow and everything, but he seems to be getting very thin... Other than the eating thing, he seems pretty healthy. He's mostly an indoor cat, but gets outside on occasion. What could be wrong with him? Does he have worms or something?

I have bought 15 different kinds of dry cat food and then started to get cups of food off friends to try her and she doesn't like them... The only way she will eat it is if I mix it with soft food. How can I get her to eat hard food???

I have a 3 year old female yorkie and a 10 month old male yorkie. At times they proceed to chase each other around the house, and do this thing where they stand on their hind legs, lock front paws, and bare teeth, at times nipping one another. Sometimes, the female will pin the little guy by his shoulders to the ground and other times, she will get on top of him and grab him by the neck with her teeth. This may be a stupid question, but are they fighting each other when this behavior ensues or are they just playing rough? I've had the little guy for 7 months now and they have been like this for the past month. Sometimes they are very sweet to one another, i'll catch them sleeping together, or the female will bring the toys to the little one so that they can play, but then all of the sudden i just see them chasing each other and all of this growling and teeth baring begins and I don't know what to do. I just want to do something before it gets worse. Thanks!

In the past 6 to 9 months, I have twice found piles of what appear to be piles of scales in the tank where one of my Chiclids is. The fish appears to be healthy and eatting well. I've had it for more than a year and it is getting large. The first time there were multiple fish in the tank, this last time, this Chiclid was and still is the only fish in the tank.

This dog is at the local pound, I am trying to figure out the Breed, it is 1.5 years old, about 25 pounds, height is about knee high. the color is almost reddish in the sun. The Tail is bobbed. The dog is VERY muscled, but disposition seems very calm, but playful.
My first impression was Basenje, but the tail is not right and seems a bit different when I look at pictures.

I am planning on adopting this dog, so appreciate the help.

This is our dogs first litter of pups and she is 6 years old. This puppy was born without a tail and I am worried because I can not see an anus. (No Jokes) He has suddenly gone limp and is not opening his mouth any more. We just gave him some high protein lactose free milk by squirting through a small syringe. The puppy has no energy at all. I read on a site about low sugar level. It suggests to give glucose which I don't have. What can I give him right now? It is 3.30 am here and nothing is open (no Vets) so I need to use something I have at home.

I am getting a pitbull/boxer puppy, she is 5 weeks old. She is the runt of the litter, and they all been away from mother since 10 days the lady said. Is this too young? Will I have any extra problems since she wasnt really nursed by her mother? Will the dog grow up and behave badly cause of not being nursed by mom? I plan on getting her officially trained and all that, to avoid things. But any tips on house breaking? My biggest issue is doing her business in the house and chewing on the couches. Thanks in advance.

I've had pet rats for years now, but only now has one of my current rats started to gently nip me. I know that when rats are scared or angry they will nip more aggressively, but Devon never hurts... she just sort of softly bites. I've looked around on the net, but there doesn't seem to be any information on it. I'm wondering if it's an affectionate or dominant thing, or something else altogether.

my cat is a almost two years old. up until very recently she has been really well behaved. she sleeps in the house during the day and then hunts for mice at night. she's always been a bit easily frightened but in the last week she's been acting strangely: staying away for the whole day and being very unsociable. this morning, she wouldn't go outside when offered, and then proceeded to climb on to the windowsill to do the toilet. i'm thinking it must be behavioural, given that we had given her the option only minutes before to go outside to do her 'business'... the only thing i can think of is that she and our dog despise each other, sometimes shes too scared to go into rooms where the dog is. but i don't know why that would start to affect her so much now, after two years.

any thoughts?

I got a dachshund a few days ago and he seemed to do really well with my 9 month old son and he did wonderful with me and my other dog as well as strangers and older kids. I've had him less than a week and he snapped at my son's face the second day I had him and bit him on the leg this morning! I am going to get rid of the dog, but I don't want to just put it in the pound to die. He's such a loving dog adults and older kids, but seems nervous around babies. The previous owner said he never showed any aggression towards their 2 year old. Do you think I could find him a good home with a house of older kids or adults?
