I have a Black Lab he'll be 2 years old in April. He is also unneutered because he has a heart condition so he only goes under the knife for surgery for his heart. I've asked them if they would fix him while he was under for heart surgery and they said that it would be too much for his body to take. So far he hasn't been much of a problem except for every once and a great while he tries to mount my husky. For the past couples of days though he has started humping everything he can. The other dog and the cats. He taunts my other dog, I have to always watch him. Does anyone have any advice. I will be asking his vet the next time I see him. He is due for his heart follow-up in about a month. I'm just looking for some help. Thank You.

My Betta has gotten his stomach swollen and he just lays on the bottom of the tank, he doesn't move anymore and is unactive. What do I do? What kind of disease does he have?

I have a 2 1/2 year old Maltese. When I am away from home, all is fine because he is kept in his "room" which he will not go potty in. The problem is when I am at home. Even if he just went potty outside he will come in the house and find a spot to go in. I take him out numerous times but it seems he prefers to go in the house. It is not possible to watch him every second so finds ways to sneak off and pee. He has not been fixed but my Vet said that at this point it is a behavior that my dog has learned and therefore neutering him will not help. I am so frustrated and my carpets and furniture are getting ruined. Please help!

All he did was hold a stethoscope to my pup's chest for what prolly amounted to five seconds, wiggle her ears *anyone know why?* and then check her eyes on request. Didn't weigh her, didn't get her to even stand up for him, didn't even ask how old she was. Should I be concerned?

He also tried to give her a vaccine she already had, practically had the needle in her before he stopped, even though we were protesting as soon as he was reaching for the needle. To top it off, he reffered to our male dog as a she repeatedly, even after being corrected, and the new female puppy as a he.

Is it a bright idea to go back to this guy? my mom's been going to him for all of our other animals, but I'm more than turned off that he treated our two STRAY cats with better care than my new papillon *yes, PB, or so the papers say* puppy.

The way it looks, you tell him what's wrong with the dog, he just doles out the meds.

I have a 3 mo. sheltie and he's a nipper. I've heard to say "ouch" whenever his teeth contact skin so they learn when they're playing too rough, but it's so hard to be consistent. Any other ideas?

Is it bad to give your cat treats every day? I do. Does it make them fat? Mine is about 17 pounds right now. Is that overweight for a cat? HELP!

We have a 10 year old domestic short hair cat who is uriniating--and destroying our house. She is very sweet to us but EXTREMELY aggressive to others. We recently took her to the vet and they had to sedate her just to examine her. After many tests they told us that she is physically fine--so her problem is emotional. I just can't put her to sleep, I would feel horrible. We have called many No-Kill shelters and they are all full. One said they would look at her and if she was healthy and friendly they would put her up for adoption. That won't happen since she is so aggressive. Has anyone else had to deal with this? Also, since shehas been urinating we have to use Nature's Miracle and Odorsout--which fortunately help the smell but she continues to go in the same spots. We have tried mothballs, sprays, you name it. HELP!!!

The tank is filtered, aerated, slightly planted (some Java Moss), with a little salt in the water.

The rule, I've been told, is one gallon per one inch of fish. At 10 gallons to 6 fish, I think they've all got a little more than a gallon--they're all about an inch (not including tail).

I was stupid and didn't let the tank cycle all the way before adding them, so there's been a little stress with nitrite spiking. (Never doing that again.)

Yesterday afternoon, my husband and I adopted two house cats in response to a newspaper advertisement. They are both three years old,spayed and neutered, current on all their shots and very healthy animals. They were given to us because the lady's older cat was having trouble adjusting to them living there. They are both very friendly and affectionate, but neither of them have eaten a bite since they've been here. We are giving them the same food they had at their old house, and have shown them repeatedly where the food is located, but with no luck. Is this because they are still getting used to living in a new place or should I be worried?

My 3 year old Jack Russell mix ate some cookies made with marijuana butter while I was at work today. This was at least 6 hours ago and now he is drooling excessively, seems a little lethargic and is very wobbly on his feet. He is fine otherwise, we've been able to get him to play quite a bit, but I'm really worried. It seems like he would let us know if something was really wrong and he has a ton of energy. Any help you could give me would be appreciated!

I adopted (well, more like bought) a 5 month old beagle a couple weeks ago from a woman, but she has failed to provide me with a vaccination record for the pup, which she "claims" to have. She had also claimed to purchase the pup from a pet store. She had said that the puppy was up to date on all her shots, but we don't have proof. We want to get her spayed, but they would like us to provide a vaccination record. How harmful would it be to the puppy if she were to be vaccinated again for all the so-called vaccinations she supposedly already had? Including the rabies vaccination. Trying to get those records may be a lost cause already.
