I have a 10 y/o mix breed dog. Since she's not so young anymore and for the sake of her health, I try not to give her table scraps. But... everytime I eat, she looks at me with big old puppy dog eyes. I can't help it but give in and give her a little bite. then another bite... she likes to eat dog food, It's not like she's starving. She's not overweight. I just can't say no to her big old brown eyes. Don't you hate it yet love those puppy dog eyes? Ugh! I don't know which is worse, the kids or the dogs...

I had a cockatiel who was just about 1 year old.. She was very sweet and was hand fed when little so she was very friendly. Saturday night she was fine (flying aorund, chirping, etc.. her normal activity. I was home all day Sunday and she was fine in the morning. At about 8 pm i walked out and found her hunched over in the front of the cage. I knew something was wrong.. I picked her up and she was jusrt looking at me... She kept closing her eyes and I would pet her to keep her awake. I wrapped her in a blanket to keep her warm and pet her to keep her calm but she died in my hands... I have no idea why. She had food and water and was fine just a couple hours earlier.. I'm so sad b/c she was a wonderful pet and i already miss her.. does anybody know why she oculd have died? I have heard if they catch a draft maybe? I'm so sad and I blame myself b/c i didn't know what to do to save her..

my dog "tessa" is one year old and has been biting people whenever they come into my gate. it doesnt matter if shes met them before or if their strangers except that she is more aggressive to strangers then to friends. my parents had a friend come into the gate and reintroduced tess to him, telling her to be nice and when they turned to walk into the house thinking shed be ok with him, tess bit our friend in the groin and my parents cant afford to take her to corrective training classes. what can i do to make her stop biting so i dont have to get rid of her?

i was taking my cat to an all cats ve theywere very good and i had to go in for a yearly check up. I moved and had to switch vets, now after his shots they said they dont have to see him for 3 years....is this normal for cats? I know dogs have to go every year. Is it because he is getting older and he is an indoor cat?? Thanks.

Recently rescued a dog. He had kennel cough, had him treated, it got worse. Went to another vet, and he said he had pnemonia. Tryed diff antibiotics. He still didn't improve. Took him back to vet and he was admitted with iv drugs and fluids for almost 4 days. Brought him home, noticed some improvement, cough still bad. He stopped eating and drinking. Bought pedialyte, gave thru a syrynge, pretty much, the pedialyte saved his life. He then had energy, drank and ate on his own for a few days. He still has the cough, but not as bad. Anyway, he is just a 5 month old pup. He played and ran around when we first got him, played fetch, taught him to sit, now, he just lays there. He doesn't even want to go out to pee. He seems like he aged 15 yrs. I know he isn't all the way recovered yet, but I am just curious, if my puppys personality will come back, for there are no signs of the same dog.

I live in Minnesota where it gets very cold. My pug has bad hips and when I take her out on days like today (-5 degrees), she can't go potty because the ground is so cold/frozen. She begins to stiffen up and has something almost like a seizure. I'm not sure what to do, since if she doesn't go potty for a while, that same thing happens. I was wondering if anyone had any clue as to how I can maybe make the ground warmer or any ideas that could help. At this point, I'm not sure if she is trainable in kitty litter since she is 5 years old. Thanks!

i was told by a local pet store that putting a mirror in my birds cage will allow my bird "zeak" to bond with the mirror and he will ignore me. this is my first budgie and im not around untill 3PM because of school so he gets lonely, but if this is true i dont want to give him a mirror and i cant afford another bird with how small his cage is and how little money i have. what else can i do to make him happy without having him ignore me?

Is your pets health just as important as yours, more or less? Im studying to be a veterinary doctor.

Will kittens overeat? I read that about 1 cup (Canada) of dry food a day is normal for a 4 month old cat, is this correct? I feed my cats Iams kitten food (dry) and use wet food for the occassional treat. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

My cat is obsessed with sitting by the bathroom sink when i am getting ready in the morning. i wear contacts & pour the extra solution down the sink, but he always licks it up! is it bad for him to be licking the contact solution on almost a daily basis? he seems perfectly healthy.

Our dog is 2 years old & has been potty trained since she was 6 months old. We moved about 2 months ago into our new home (all new carpet, all new flooring & paint on walls) where the previous tennents didn't have pets anyway. She started pooping on my sons bedroom floor about a week ago out of the blue. We thought it was because we didn't bring her out enough, but we started to take her out 4 or 5 times a night & more than that throughout the day. As soon as she would come in, she would go to his room once we were settled back into whatever we were doing & poop. Not even in the same spot, just anywhere in there! If it happens at night, it wakes him up (he's 10 months old & JUST started sleeping through the night with only 1 waking). So she's pushing his habits backwards now also. With my son, it's hard to take her for long walks & we don't have a fenced in yard, but we let her go out for 30mins or so. & If she was doing this cuz she is unhappy with the move, why start 2 months after?

My dog will not stop chewing on her lower backside. She has been doing this for quite sometime, and now has hotspots and sores. I changed her diet to all natural organic food, and she has been on that for a month now. This was suggested by the vet thinking that maybe she was having food allergies, which is common in dogs. However this isn't working. Are there special vitamins or medicines I could give her? Anything I could give her immediatley to start healing those sores?

The fish are going to go with it and they are a yellow tang, a clown, and a blue reef chromis. Does anybody know what i should ask for this set-up?
