I have been leasing a 21 year old Tennesee Walker and he is amazing. He neck reins, stops, no bad habbits, maintains weight and is not on any senior diets or supplements. His feet are great and I have no complaints. I am a new rider and this horse has tons of energy and has helped me build up confidence. Should I buy a horse this old? Also, I have been told that high withers are a sign of old age, is that true?

I have a 4 month old puppy. I work from home, so I'm able to watch her all day. She learned to sit at the door when she needs to go to the bathroom, which is great. However, she needs to go so frequently! She sits at the door at least every hour. How can I get her to hold it longer? She's fine at night and can sleep in her crate for 8 hours without going to the bathroom, but I'd like her to hold it longer during the day.

I've tried crating her while I'm home, but she cried for 2 hours nonstop yesterday. It's difficult for me to leave the house, since all of my work is here. Sometimes I try to ignore her when she's sitting at the door to go outside, but I don't want to discourage her telling me when she needs to go. Any tips?

my labrador has lost her fur on her l;egs and on parts of her body. She has got bald patches and thin fur on alot of her body but on her head and back her fur is thick and shiney. She is not scratching and doesn't seem in any discomfort, she eats well and seems healthy in herself. Is there anything I can do to help her fur grow back. She is 18 months old.

This is a multi-part question so bear with me ...

PART ONE: I "inherited" an over-crowded 10-gallon tank from a friend who was moving and could not take her aquarium with her. After buying an additional five-gallon tank to help relieve the over crowding and (sadly) waiting for the tanks to normalize, four months later, I now have two tanks, a 10-gallon and a five-gallon. The five-gallon contains one three-inch goldfish by itself and the 10-gallon has ...

2 pink gouramis (1.5-inches each)
2 cherry barbs (1-inch each)
2 neon tetras (0.5-inches each)
1 tiger barb (.75-inches)
and 1 plecostomus (2-inches)

Should I add more fish as I realize that some of these are schooling fish? If so, which fish should I add?

Note: These surviving fish have co-existed peacefully for five months now and are the original fish that I inherited.

Other than rabies which is a given. What shots are really important for an inside cat that never has (and never will) go outside?

Thanks.

I adopted a cat and I'm finding that I'm terribly allergic to it. Before returning the cat I wanted to see if there were any options. Maybe some sort of powder to put on the cat, a brush that works better to take off excess hair than what I have. Anything. It's a really nice cat and I'd love to keep it. I'm hoping there is something out there that I am unaware of. Please help!

I scissor cut my own little poodles. They are in a puppy cut and would like to use something other than scissors to speed it up (it takes me 1 - 1 1/2 hours) and I'd like their coats to be a more even cut. Can anyone tell me what works? Does a Flow Bee work? Thanks!

My 4 yr old cat has suddenly developed an allergy to plastic (or more specifically, the chemicals used to treat metal and plastic). She is so allergic, that when she touches plastic or treated metal, she develops these very itchy spots on her skin that she chews at until all the hair is gone from that spot and she is raw and bloody. I have changed all of her water and food bowls over to glass, but have yet to find any glass or ceramic litter boxes that are available. Does anyone know where I might find a glass or ceramic litter box and how much they might cost? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated too...thanks!!

What would happen if I gave my dog cat nip? I'm just curious, I don't plan on it or anything. I've never given it to my cats, so I just wanted to know what would happen. And what EXACTLY does cat nip do to cats? I've heard 2 different stories. One will mellow them out, like pot does to people, and the other is it will hype them up. Is it one or the other, or is it both??

And no smart-@ss answers plz!

I've heard it's very effective.
Wouldn't use it myself, but it seems like a more friendly way of keeping the little blighters off.

I love cats!

Ok, please only answer this if you have "guppy experience" or really might know what's wrong... Too much at stake for wrong answers - sorry!

My female fancy guppy just gave birth three days ago to 30 fry (yea!). She is probably about a year or so old. Before she gave birth she had no signs of anything wrong or out of shape. Suddenly I noticed that her tail is kind of drooping when she is sitting still. When she swims its fine, she seems to be eating ok, and not really sitting still or going crazy around the tank. No others symptoms. Its like she's in a ( shape.

Could this be from having fry (I hope)? and something that will go away as she heals? I put a little medicine (all purpose that treats a bunch of stuff) in there but does anyone know whats up? or how I can find out more info? Please help, thanks!

Hello,

We have a 15 year old male cat (Figaro) that has arthritus among other health issues. We also have a four year old female (Wendy) that bullys him. Wendy stalks Figaro and tries to knock him over at every possible opportunity (even him coming out of the box). We have tried loud "no" as well as spray bottles to no avail. Her being so rough is hard on him and he is too nice of a guy (and isn't physically able) to defend himself. We try to put her out when the weather permits to burn of energy, but this time of year, it is difficult (ideally, I would like her in all the time for her protection). I would appreciate some ideas on the best way to protect him or train her to not bully him.

Thank you!

I've just adopted this little puppy. It's a mixed breed of fox terrier and he's about 1 and a half months old. He gets scared or lonely at night and he starts crying and howling until someone goes and plays with him.
I dont want to spoil it, and i dont want to bother my neighbours with his howling, so: How can i keep him from crying at night?

Things i've already tryed:
*Giving him a teddy bear.
*Giving him a shoe (He likes to sleep on my feet).
*Giving him an old t-shirt.
*Letting him cry (He didnt stop in about fifteen minutes and i started worrying about my neighbours... It was like 2am)
*Keeping the lights on. (He didnt even care. It seems that he's not afraid of the dark).

Other info:
*He has a pet house made of a cardboard box, in a warm (but not suffocating) part of the house.
*He has a bowl of milk and one of water near him (he eats by himself).
*I wont, by any means, let him sleep on my bed.

Thanks beforehand!

Today both of my 6 month old female kittens (who happen to be sisters) are going to be spayed. I was wondering what would be the best way to make them feel better when they come home.
