We have a salt water aquarium. 50 gal. My husband isn't too pleased with the performance of the filter we have. He asked the owner of a salt-water fish store what he recommended upgrading to. He suggested that he upgrade to a REALLY good protein skimmer and get rid of a filter all together! I'd never heard of such a thing!
Has anybody done this? Any advice or cautions?
Thanks!

My cat always used to be great about me doing things like opening his mouth and playing with his paws but as he's gotten older he isn't as keen to let me do these things anymore.

He needs his nails trimmed so that I may apply some Soft Paws caps. He isn't too bothered by me touching his feet but as soon as I apply a little pressure to make the claws flex out he gets a little irritated.

I can't continue to fight him, its just making matters worse. I don't want him to associate me touching his paws with something negitive.

Is there a better way to do this, besides taking him to the groomers?

The vet said he propaply had it before we got him he is 7 months old--he started throwing up really bad last night so I took him in. They did a blood test and from certain levels of chemicals in the blood they said his kidneys are bad and there is nothing they can do, He still has his appetite and is drinking lots of water--he is throwing up way less to day --he does have diahhrea(SP?)--and he has always peed a great deal (he is a big dog rot/lab)--he has been a bit lethargic the last couple of days.
I need to know if anyone has had this experience---I cannot do what the vet is asking without more knowledge and complete certainty---this is my baby.

I fed her a leaf (small) of cabbage and now she seems real loaf like. She is sleeping and I did play with her earlier (before I gave her the leaf) and she was fine. It seems that after, she has been really sleepy, tired, lazy. I am wondering if I poisoned my dachshund? She was fine up until now. I wonder if she is truly sick or just tired from the day.

My betta fish kinda did this thing where he got big, like a puffer fish. I have no idea what was wrong with him, and I'd like to know!

He died shortly after he inflated.. and kinda made a mess in the tank, a few people said that he was just constipated, but I don't think he was! Any ideas?

I have an albino leo and for some reason it stopped eating. It's tail is losing its girth and I am really worried. I have tried to give it waxworms directly and there are also crickets in the tank (1-2), however it does not seem interested in food items. Any help would be appreciated, it is only about 1 year old.

We have puppy that someone gave us back in October. We don't know much about her because she was dropped on the people who were giving her away. I took her to our vetenarian shortly after for a checkup and according to how old he estimated then, she is about 6 months old now. So far she is only about 17lbs. About how much more do they usually grow after 6 months?

I just got a little baby shitzu. Louie is 11 weeks old. when he is laying on me or just falling asleep he makes an odd sund threw his nose. It's almost as if hes trying to blow his nose or hes having trouble breathing. Now my mother and her BF smoke. I know this can't be good for the little guy and it makes me very upset. Why do you think he would be making these kinds of noises. I have heard hey make noises like this but I'm not sure. Please HELP!
