I have been looking at the guinea pig. I hear those are very socialble pet. I want something that is nice and I can hold. What size of cage should I get?

Or, do you have any suggestions for another furry rat animal. (No dog or cats or ferret, or bunny).

I live in an apartment and I get off work M-F around noon. I know some people think people who work shouldn't have pets, but all pet owners have to work in order to have money to afford their pets! I think my work schedule is pretty nice 4:30am-noon M-F. I have the rest of the day to spend with the pet. However, I do live in an apartment (on the third floor) so I am looking for a dog that is relatively quiet and can do fine by themselves those hours I'm at work. I've contemplated even getting a kitten and a pup at the same time so they can play together. However, I'm not sure that is the best solution. Any ideas on what breed will be okay while I'm at work, is relatively quiet, and is under 10lbs. Does that dog even exist? I've been researching this for quite some time and I've looked at Yorkies, Pomeranians and Papillons. I need advice.

I have an 8 month old kitten who has an allergy to flea saliva. Everytime he gets bitten he gets huge open sores of the back of his neck which bleed constantly until he gets a steroid shot. This time we went to the vets and not only does he have the sores he also has got an infection which has caused his cheek and neck to swell with pus (gross) and sag under the weight. Because of the anti biotics we cant give him the steroid shot to stop the flare ups until the infection has cleared. The vet said this is something he will have for the rest of his life now, he suggested that we consider putting him down as every time he has the steroid shot (almost monthly) we lower his immune leaving him open to further infection.

What do we do? Am i being selfish wanting to keep with the steroids?

He will be lying on the opposite side of the house then run growling to the door to be let out. Then he scampers far away barking and howling.

I live on a rural property so there's a fair space for him to run around, and also plenty of things for him to be chasing (cows, rabbits, goannas etc). But how does he know there's something out there when he's sleeping? Or is he just hallucinating?

My almost 18 year old Maltese has started to go off her food, she usually eats her two meals a day with relish but now she eats it but doesnt seem to enjoy it as much. Should I feed her chicken or something different? She usually manages pet cubes for old dogs. Otherwise she is healthy and he vet says she is a tough little thing and could go on for another 2 years.

I need to ship a dog from West Africa to Tulsa, Oklahoma, but I have to use an airline with climate controlled cargo because it's too cold here to ship a dog without climate control. Does anyone have any experience with shipping dogs that could help me?!?!?!
