I have a 2 year old large mix breed dog that is constipated, Can I give my dog Milk of Magnesia or Karo Syrup to help relieve his constipation fast? Are there any other ways I can help him now?

She is white with a fawn patch on her eye (kind of like Petey in little rascals - but I think he was a pit) and a small fawn spot right above her tail. Her mother's name was Rea Rye. She will be a family dog used to guard our farm and equipment shop. thanks!!!!

I am BobbysMama. I bought Bobby from a couple who said the parrot would be friendly with the man but hissed at and bit the woman. Now Bobby is biting my roommate. Bobby will actually climb off her cage to go bite my roommate ! But even tho she (Bobby) chews and nips me, she's not seriously biting me. In fact, Bobby is very attached to me and allows me to handle her anyway I choose. Upside down is a favorite play activity. and she shows me this by playing and getting excited when I speak to her. thank you for responding to my question....

I'm really just wondering, because i want to get one, but i don't want to get myself to deeply in it because i still have school and all. I'm homeschooled, but i still do have a dog and two gerbils to care for...any kind of suggestions for the work guinea pigs give you?

Now first things first, I care very much for my male yorkshire terrier "Fraggle", I even go to the extent to pamper him with treats and toys and even his own clothes, I give him pure Evian Water only and I give him the finest brands of dog food, I haven't ever given him "people" food and he enjoys playing in my lush backyard and garden, but everytime he goes number 2 he turns right around and eats it, this is kinda gross but I have even gone to the extent to try and gently force it from his mouth, then he snaps at me and growls, I then give him a light reinforcing slap on the bottom as it was suggested by my vet to do such, yes I have taken him to the vet to determine why he is doing this and she said (I live in Montana by the way), "he will just have to grow out of this, its something puppies sometimes do", but instead of it being a less common activity, it has increased greatly, it seems like his appetite for his own excrement is insatiable now! what should I do?

its pee and poo in it - it lies there like it would if it was in bed - and then when it gets out it stinks! If the litter tray is dirty the cat smells, but it also smells if I have cleaned it out - cos smells of the anti-bac stuff the litter is treated with. Basically my cat stinks when it does this and I cant figure out how to stop him from lying in it - does anyone else have that problem and how do I stop it?

Does anyone know of a product that I can buy that does all the job of a toothbrush. My dog will not let me brush his teeth, and he is to old to be put out. Thank you.

I was told 3 x's and only leave the bowl for 15 minutes, but he usually doesn't eat that much during that time. So I feel he might be hungry after I have already fed him the 3rd time. Should I give him food again eventhough it's late?

I'm in a state that's had a facility recently quarantined. Our bran mgr just made it mandatory everyone get Rhino booster shots. I'm a bit concerned about the type of vaccine and if it can aggrevate symptoms in 'carrier' horses.

Also, please share if you've personally experienced an outbreak and seen horses survive/ die from this.

I understand the necessary measures in preventing spreading (bleach, clothing changes, etc.) I'm looking for those w/1st hand experience in treating horses (first symptoms, treatment, success/ recovery/ usefulness after infection, etc.)

Thanks.

Our 3 year old Sheltie, has what we think, is alergies, that cause him itching, mostly of nose & face. The Vet. is giving him Temerol- P which does help, but lately it doesn't seem as effective. We have eliminated anything that we suspect as a cause. i.e. replaced plastic feeding.water bowls with glass, give filtered water, careful to wipe his feet after walks, etc. He scratches, sometimes so hard that he makes wounds on his nose. Any suggestins for either home-care or new options from Vet. will be appreciated.

My parakeet is about one year old. She seems lonely and I was thinking about getting her a friend. I know I'll have to get a larger cage, but should the new bird be male or female?

My chi always brings her toys to my feet to play with. She doesn't go off to the carpet and play, where she would have ample room to entertain herself. Why does she do this? She will chew her bone on top of my shoes, as well. I used to think she wanted to engage me in play, but when I take the toy to toss it, she growls and acts like a nut. Then she goes after it and comes back. Could her behavior be a form of dominance? What can I do to stop this?

He's a 3 month Bichon and is usually great all day. However, every night he turns into Cujo and detroys all of his toys, barks and runs in circles in the kitchen. I can't even let him hang out with us in the living room.

My Boxer has a leg injury today. It's his rear left leg and he can't seem to put weight on it. I felt around on the paw and below the joint - he didn't have pain there. But on the inside of his leg on the upper area there is a knot. What would cause this?

I've had a cold for the past few days and its become relatively obvious my kitten Gadget whos 10 weeks now (had her since she was 6 weeks) has a thing for my snot...I have no idea why, she rumages for them in my bin, I tried using a different bin around the house but she just went after them, she can smell them.
I guess I know it has my scent on it but its totally weird/gross, anyone know what the hell I'm on about or how to solve this problem?

Thanks
