I have no idea what it is, I have a vet apt for her on the 22nd. Should I try to get her in sooner and is she ok to be around? She is a 9 week old kitten that we got from the kennels.

i have been searchin for pet insurance and the sites are talking about me paying 100percent and then possibly they will give me 80percent back!!!!that is not insurance that is reimbursement..insurance is when for example i pay a co-pay ammount and they pay the rest not me paying everything and then maybe theyll give me my money back,why i think they may try to scam me into saying "oh we cant,for some dumb reason"it sounds real scandolous to me.any opinions on this?????

How do I make my mystery snails shell the healthiest? Please don't just say "feed them green beans" please say something like "freed them green beans, First boil them then cool them off with cold water and then drop 1-2 in." I have been feeding my snails green beans, I don't know how much to feed them in green beans so if you know the answer to that please tell me. As well I have two mystery snails. Brigg species.

Seriously. I don't know how to get her in, or even why she won't come in. She seems scared. She did this once before and someone said that perhaps someone had been mean to her (I think it is an evil neighbor). I put her out to go potty and now she won't come in. If I try to just grab her, she takes off. Help!

we found out on saturday last that our female syrian hamster (patches) has a large cancerous growth which has overtaken her front left paw and leg.
she is bright and bubbly at the moment but appetite is not up to much.
the vet has said that they could remove the paw and leg but there is a high risk she would not survive and advised me to take her home and give her what quality time that i could - this is what i am doing at the moment.
i hate to think that she is suffering but she seems to be her normal self at the moment.
she is walking around okay on her leg at the moment and when down the vet was climbing all over him - did not like him i think?
what do you think would be the best thing.
patches is the first hamster i have had since my daughter was born 9 years ago - we are trying to get catherine to like furry animals starting with the very small as she is nervous of them and she loves patches. please please give me some advice

Is it just goldfish any others that will eat until they go belly up or is it all fish, if its all fish how do they survive in the wild... I have 2 mollies and 7 platys these are the fish I really want to know about. As well as my main question for the other fish that will eat until they die. Please no stupid answers that don't do anything.

Few months ago my boy bunny also had a desex surgery, but there were no stiches, and he could walk and eat well just straight after the surgery.

On the other hand, it is really heartbreaking to see my girl bunny just lying there with no appetite. She only drank a very small quantity of water since the surgery.

Also, I wasn't happy with the veteranian as she gave her a tattoo on the ear without my permission. :(

My kitten LOVES tinfoil. We found this out when we were unwrapping xmas sweets so we screwed the wrapper up and threw it around the room and he used to chase it. Well, now, he's started bringing the foil back to me and dropping it at my hand so I can throw it again for him and he keeps doing it over and over. It really is a funny sight. I thought only dogs did this! Has anyone heard of this or have we got a contender for You've Been Framed?!!!

She is just 4 months old and was recently desexed and had her final vacinations. She was off colour and vomiting for a week after the operation and i was in constant contact with the vet over her condition, towards the end of the week she only ate very little amounts. on Saturday she was operated on and it was discovered she had not one but two telescopic bowel obstructions. She has spent just over 48 hours on IV and been cared for by the vet, the only time she ate after the op was when given drugs to stimulate the appetite and threw up after. the vet is leaning towards euthanasia for her as her wound is still weeping and she will not eat and therefore not able to pass. We cannot say for sure that she has a blockage and may just take a few days and encouragement to get better, the vet advised that she is not in pain but soon enough a desicion needs to be made. Does anyone have any idea about a condition like this or knowledge of what we can do or try ?

My rabbit, to my understanding, has pretty much reached adulthood. He was never aggressive with me until one day he snapped at me and another day he actually managed to bite my finger very hard. I was very offended and worried. How am I supposed to take care of my once loving rabbit if he keeps being so aggressive towards me? Help! :S

It means to Speacilize in wild dogs. Which should live free like Bears, lions, and other dangerous animals which people let live in their natural surrondings, but not wolves. Why must people be so seletive?
