I've looked this up on the internet and learned that it wasn't good if your baby beardie is sleeping all of the time. However, we can't seem to figure out why. He is a month old or younger (we are not sure but he is really tiny), he eats about 10 crickets a day, eats his greens all day as well, the tank is properly heated (103 degrees on the hot side and 85 degrees on the cool side), we mist him three or four times a day, and the bulb is UVA/UVB. We are going to take him to the vet if we have to but we just wanted to see if anyone might have any insight? Another note, the cashier at PetCo dropped the box he was in when we bought him, and the box fell from about 4 feet.....this was yesturday.

I've been told by friends that by putting a belled collar on my cat it will cause him to become deaf before old age. Is this true? Or is this an old wives' tale? I would like any scientific proof or study informaiton on this subject.

On one hand it is known as man's best friend, but on the other it can be his worst nightmare. Recent events in the UK have shown unprovoked dog attacks, yet on a daily basis dogs attend to the blind and hard of hearing, search and rescue dogs risk their lives for those of humans, police and drug sniffer dogs provide an invaluable service. Their use as working animals is of no doubt. In today's work culture, does anyone have the time to devote to a dog as a pet anymore? With their heavy responsiblity is it now practical to own a dog as a pet? Are the few responsible dog owners who train, socialise and look after their dogs outnumbered by those who buy without thinking? Please share your views.

i have a labrador retriever X who just turned 15.
The vet says he is not in any pain its just that he has pressure on his lungs and has arthritis which hampers his mobility.
But he is continually finding it harder to stand up and get down,
When do you know that it is time? I would hate to be selfish, I cannot bear the thought of saying goodbye.
Also how is the best way to handle the situation with kids? I have a 9 and 7 year olds. Has anyone else gone through this with kids?
Do you tell the vet is coming to put your dog down and let them say goodbye or do you wait until they are not there and put him down so they do not fret about it?
I don't know how I am going to handle it.
If anyone has gone through this as well I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks

My Jago is 2 and a half years old. From day one he was a very picky eater. But we managed somehow and he was growing nicely and gaining weight. Now the things are completely different. He became very skinny.
We tried offering him every kind of food there is - wet and dry from every single producer (he takes just few bites of Hill's), nibbletts, cat milk... Now we even have to beg him to eat fresh meat!
We ran tests at vet and all the results came out fine. No problem what so ever! The vet said "sometimes they are just skinny!". Somehow I can't make myself believe this one. Has anyone ever had such a problem? Please help!

My son swears that he heard somewhere that the Swiffer Wet Jet makes pets sick. the premise is you mop the floor, the pet gets it on its paws, and then it licks its paws. Does anyone know this to be fact?? Please let me know! Thanks!

I have a new 12 week old kitten and a 2 year old cat. They are both wonderful felines BUT they are playing off each other at night and chase one another around my apartment. This is keeping me awake but worse - they are keeping my downstairs neighbours awake too. The 2 year old, prior to the kitten's arrival was always calm and slept through the night, but now, she is often the instigator to these nighttime crazies. She loves the kitten and loves to mother him so I don't want to give up on them (ie. I really want to keep the kitten). I have tried rescue remedy on both kitties but that hasn't worked. Has anyone else had a similar problem, and found a solution? My neighbours aren't really forgiving and I can't afford to lose my apartment, but I don't want to give up on this responsibility I have taken on. Thanks for ANY (humane) suggestion you may have!

I don't know very much about declawing. Does it hurt them at all? Do they even notice that it's been done? Will they still be able to scratch themselves when they are itchy? I just want them to stop scratching the furniture, but I don't really want to do that to them...

My kitten, I'm guessing to be about 3-4 months old, since I just found her outside a few months ago, and so it's my best guess based on her size. Lately she has had an enlarged stomach and at first I just thought maybe she was eating too much. I have kept an eye on her poop and have seen no worms. Then for the last few days I've noticed that in the spots where she has been sleeping on my bed there have been large wet spots of at least 5x5" or so, give or take each time. They have no odor and no color that I can tell. She isn't acting sick, she's still playing and running around with my other cats, but it has me worried. I have made an appointment for next week with the vet, it's the soonest one I could get. But I'm just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else before just to maybe give me an idea of what it might be because I am really confused. And if anyone has seen it before and knows its something bad I may take her into the emergency vet. Thanks!
