We have a cockatiel but would like to have a larger bird. I've been looking at blue and gold macaws. I have 4 kids. the youngest is 8 years and quite active. What large bird would you reccommend for our household? Noise doesn't matter! We just want a large cuddly bird. We are finding that 1 bird just isn't enough for our household

Who here hates animal cruelty, They skin these poor animals and test them for make up. If you like animal cruelty don't answer.

my chihuahua has a black, hard scab-like looking thing under her arm. At first I though it was a tick so I removed it with a tweezer, but it wasn't a tick. It just looked like a black hard scab. The next morning it grew right back and looks like it is still growing. I'm going to wait a couple more days befor I take her to the vet to see if it is just a scab but I find it very weird how fast it grew back. She is playing and eating as usual and seems like she is fine but this thing is scaring me. She is a year and half old. Does anyone know what this could be?

My adult neutered cat puts a piece of fleece blanket in his mouth and starts "humping" it. He only started doing that we adopted a six-month old fixed female kitten as a playmate for him. The blanket came with her.

Well, I have had my parakeets for about a year now. But they won't allow them to be handled. They fly about and I can't ineteract with them or anything!

We have a lab-mix and she is a little over a year old. We just acquired her back in October so we don't know anything about her history. She got a "good bill of health" at the vet's office though. However, just recently she has started to shed a lot! It is real bad when you pet her. The hair just falls out. If I barely tug (not hard at all!) on a few strands they all fall out. It mainly happens on her back by her tail. She isn't acting any differently except maybe sleeping more often (but it is icy and cold here so she can't really play outside). We have changed up her dog food quite often so I am wondering if that has anything to do with it. We also tend to give her a bath every 2-½ weeks with an oatmeal-based shampoo. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (P.S. Please be kind with your words.)

I have experience with freshwater fish and this problem completely baffles me. I have 2 rainbow sharks, 1 angel, and my tetra keep disappearing. I don't find them dead or sucked into the filter. Just completely gone. I've had this happen with lots of tetra. Currently there's a school of 7 or so that's survived. I just bought 8 neon tetra 3 days ago. After the 1st night there were 3 left. Now there's only 1. Please give me some idea what's happening to them. Thanks

She was a stray about 18 months ago. We took her in and she's not fixed. She has had 3 heats since we took her in. She has the most wonderful personality and I love her more than any other dog I've ever had. She has no access to male dogs since she is always in the house. I'm afraid that she'll die under the anesthetic. Is it worth having her fixed with a possibility of dying or having her stay intact and worry about the cancer she may get? I'm in a quandry. I want to do what's best for her so that she can live a happy and long life. Thanks for any advice.

If it's necessary to prekill the mice I don't think I can do that. Are they easy to take care of? I don't know too much about pet snakes. Thank you for any good info.

Please help me! my 6 year old california kingsnake snake hasn't eaten for at least a month and today I tried to feed her, but the rat bit her and the skin at the end of her tail is off a few centimeters. What can I do!?! I don't have enough money for a vet, please tell me what I can do to help her! Will she need a certain type of medicine? I cleaned her up a little and got rid of the rat and now she's laying in her waterbowl (with fresh water by the way) with her head out. Is this okay? will she be okay? please just help me, I don't know what I'll do if I lose her now.

I don't know why but whenever I am with my cat I feel really happy.
I act really stupid and say stupid things and hug and kiss my kitten and kiss him on the head and the nose and the lips.

Even though I am a guy I think there is something wrong with me?

She had the puppies 10 days ago and my husband is worried about the fact that she still has a slightly bloody discharge. I know the answer for humans, but not dogs! :) I want to make sure I dont need to take her to the vet. Thank you for your answers.

I am just wondering what is a normal growth process for my rottweiler. Trying to figure out if she is petite. She weighs 61 pounds and is 10 months old. She doesn't seem to be very tall. Probably about 22 inches. Not sure if I measure right. But when will she stop growing. I want her to get big, and everyone says she is small.

About two weeks ago we noticed that on her right side she had a bald spot and it looked like something had bitten her. The vet did a wood lamp test and cytology in the office and said he didn't think it was ringworm and did not seem that concerned, however, two weeks later the hair had not grown back and there is some inflammation and slight swelling. Has anyone had this happen to their dogs before, again she is only 8 months old.

Curious about ages of children and if you had dog or kids first. Why did you choose this breed? Thanks

I recently acquired two 6 month old kittens, and they are adapting very well to our environment that already has 3 dogs. My question is why does one of the kittens groom the dogs? She is always licking their heads, and the dogs don't seem to mind one bit.
