i am getting a hamster tomorrow. i currently have seven pets: 1 dog, 2 cats, a chinchilla, 2 guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon. my dog is a chihuahua and he is 3 years old. he and my one cat are best friends and he also looooooooooves my guinea pigs and bearded dragon. he plays with my cuddles with them, and protects them. he hates my chinchilla tho, and i think it is because i never let him get close to it or play with it when i first got it. because when i got my guinea pigs and lizard, my dog loved them from day one.
how should i go about introducing my dog to the hamster so that he will like him and know he has to be gentle?
i have a humongo hamster cage (it's actually two cages linked together by tubes) on my floor and i have been letting him sniff all around and inside the cage while telling him the name of my hamster.
what else can i do now, before i get my hamster, and also when i get my hamster, to help them get along?

how do you know a cat has them? my kitten has had a runny stool as of last week, and when she was sleeping today, i saw these white things coming out of her butt.
what can we do for her, and how much does it cost to get her some medicine. please help...i don't want her to be in pain.
thank you

He is tongue tied and cannot lick his nose, he can only lick one side of his face..we put peanutbutter on the other side to check, and he really can't! Any other pug owners have this problem? Vaseline only makes it worse and we have tried chap-stick too, which sorta works, but I am afraid that there may be bad chemicals in name brand people lip balm.. any advice?

I mean, when I look online, they do offer free puppies for good home but NEVER in California. Why is that???

Anyways, where should I look? I know that when some puppies are born they need to go to good homes, but I can't find any in my area. Help!

I have a 68 pound dog with dry skin; he's scratching most of the time. I have heard that fish oil is good for that, but don't know what dosage to give him per day. If you can tell me, or have any other remedies that you would recommend, that would be great. Also if you could provide links to sites with relevant information, that would be helpful also. Thank you.

I have a cat that is pregnant but I want the dad of the kitties to watch as the mom is giving birth so that he will know that they are his. Is it okay for him to be there? Will he get along with the kitties?

My female has a really thick undercoat that never fully falls out. weeks of brushing and there is always some left from the year before. Should we shave her and get down to the undercoat and just let her start a whole new one next spring. The summers are not to hot so she should be fine with short hair. what do you think?
