She hasn't eaten anything unusual as far as I know, but it took her a LONG long time to poop out a tiny bit of poo, about 1.5-2 inches long, and 1/2 inch wide. It seemed like she wasn't done, but she wasn't able to do any more. Is that a bad sign to something?

Why do I see a bug and put back in the wild.I see an insect and talk to it, while opening the window to let it escape. I give my dog's ice cream and cracker's for dogs. I feel that animals do have emotion and the also take care of loneliness. Am I behaving right. I take my dogs to groomers and massage them. They love me. I can feel it. Without talking, they give me, so much, and my siberiaan huskies are so good looking.

Today my dog suddenly began acting very strangly. His tail has not been up as hard as it usually is, and his nose is dry. He seems very listless and tired compared to his usual energetic happy self. Somebody please help, tell me if this is something serious and if I should have him checked out. I love my dog very much.

My 9 week old puppy is beginning to show signs of...really intense hyperness. I'm not sure if this will last a long time, but today, when he was eliminating outside, he got really hyper and began to run around, back into the house (he's never done this before) into the rooms... and we had to catch him before he could keep running around.

He's never done this before. He also seems to be biting more than usual (and harder). Is this just a sign that he's becoming more comfortable with us, and the distance between us (the human 'pack'), or is my puppy just growing up?

My 4 month old kitten likes to jump around the house, zoom around the couches and hide, make chirping noises, but when I bend down and even try to pet her, she bolts and runs. Only when she gets extremely tired will she come near me and allow me to pet her til she falls asleep. She also purrs at this time. But when it is playtime, my kitten has no interest in me and would rather go on rampages through the house on her own, ocassionally coming by me to attack my legs or bite my fingers. And whenever I call her name, she wont come to me and nuzzle, she will just sit and stare at me like she doesnt trust me or know if I am safe. I found this kitten orphaned in a sewer when she was less than a pound in weight and have done everything to help her and spoiled her immensely, but it seems like she doesnt care about me and just loves all these toys and cat houses of hers. Grr, whats up with that?

My eight year old cockapoo...she is fine now and is chewing on her toys. She isn't limping so I threw away that conclusion of a broken leg, and she doesn't whine or bark anymore when I touch her leg. But now she is biting me whenever I touch a body part other than her head. She'll let me pat her head but that's it. She also bit me when I tried to take away her toy. I actually was not taking it away. I was trying to squeak it so she would be excited. I have about four bites...and they hurt...like...hello. I have to go to the doctor to get them disinfected...anyways she can walk but not run, she can't jump up too high, she can't even get on the sofa, but she can jump off the bed, I just have to carry her. Maybe it was temporary, but I'm still worried, should I take her to the vet in the morning, because it's 11:45 where I am..PM. Even if she is back to her normal self? What do you think it was? She was shivering and not eating a few hours ago, but now those two are gone.

I was given an 8 year old female cat 2 days ago by an elderly woman who was on Hospice and has since passed, I do not know much about the cat except that it lived with the woman and about 13 other cats...since I brought the cat home 2 days ago it has been hiding in a closet. How do I make her more comfortable and get her out of the closet?

Okay, so yesterday my mum and I got her to our backyard and at first she played and messed around with her surroundings, but then she peed eventually. The next day about after she ate her lunch, we took her to the backyard but she didn't want to pee. So I brought her to my room, after about 10 minutes in my room, she suddenly peed on my floor. My mum was furious about this and she totally took it off on my dog ( don't worry my mom knows what she's doing as she successfully potty trained my last dog), and I guess my pug sorta got the message cuz she curled up in her bed and sit obediently. So about an hour after that my mum took her to the backyard and sprayed some scent that was supposed to make her pee in the spot where we sprayed the scent. Instead she just sniffed it for a few seconds and let it be.So we took her upstairs to my brother's room, and within 5 minutes,she peed! on my brother's carpet. OOHH please help me deal with this?! what's the frikkin matter wit my pug??

i have read that bull arabs are not really a breed they have just sort been bred over the years for pig hunting and have been labeld with the name bull arabs. i wanted to know though is there such thing as a pedigree bull arab with papers, which can prove that the dog is pure bred, for breeding purposes?

I noticed that my 8 week old kitten's back left leg is hurting as has started limping. I noticed it a few days ago because I though it was just a bit of pain and it will go away but it hasn't. She runs around and plays, acting like a normal 8 week old kitten but she won't touch the ground with her back left paw/foot. She plays around with the other two kittens and isn't crying about it but I'm still very worried. She twists it outwards (but doesn't walk with it) while she walks.
Is there some way I can find out if it is broken?
I've tried feeling around to find out what hurts but she just moves around and jumps out of my arms. She hardly every meows so that doesn't really help in this situation.
I don't have much money for the Vet at the moment and I can't take her to the Vet ER Hospital because I still owe $230 for the cremation of my dog which I havne't paid yet.

Any advice? Suggestions? Help!!??

I adopted a kitten who was 5 weeks old, he's at about 9+ weeks now. He violently attacks everyone in my house, leaving deep scratches and bite marks. I've heard that he just wants attention, because I work a lot. So when I'm home I shower him with affection, he still get's angry and practically eats my arm off. I've taken him for check ups, the vet's think he's fine- they tell me he's just playing. But he doesn't seem like he's playing. He growls, flicks his tail around, his ears flatten and he bites...hard. I don't like it, and I hate having to avoid him. What should I do? (Ps. I've tried the squirt bottle thing, that just makes it worse. Also, ignoring him doesn't work either. He attacks more. I WILL NOT hit my cat, to punish him. So please don't suggest that. )

I have been trying to box train him for over a month now. I have 2 adult cats and 2 liter boxes. One box is for all of them and the second is just for the kitten yet he still refuses to use either one. Everytime I catch him going on the carpet, I put him in the bathroom where his liter box is and I leave him there for a couple of hours. I also set him in the box to show him where he is supposed to go. Someone, please help. If I can't get this resolved, I won't be able to keep him.

I ask this because I don't know the age of my cat. I love her to pieces, and want her to have the best possible life. I found her as a stray, took her to a vet to have her fixed, because she didn't seem to be too much older than a kitten. I was shocked to learn that she was actually pregnant. She was undernourished and skinny when we took her in. When she began to gain weight, my husband and I thought she was just putting on weight because she was healthy. At any rate, the vet listed her age as a little under a year old. This might sound silly, but I am wondering if she could possibly be older than that? She's very playful and pretty active, even almost 6 months after being fixed. She's pure black and has recently acquired a few strands of white hair on her tummy, and it makes me wonder about her age. I received wonderful answers about my previous question regarding my cat. I hope someone can help me. She's my baby. (Her name is Natasha!)
