One of my kittens front paws has a split nail. It doesn't seem to be hurting him but I'm afraid to cut it down because it appears to be broken right down to past the quick. It looked like there was a little bit of litter stuck in there, and I want to stop that from happening. Anyone know how to fix this?

I have a 10 gallon up and running (will keep it running) and a 55 gallon I want up and running. How should I go abouts seeding the new aquarium with the old one without disrupting my biological filter in the old 10 gallon? Also, how do i change my filter cartridge in my 10 gallon without removing all beneficial bacteria? Do I replace the sponge too?

I mean, everyone from CNN to Fox to the History channel are capitalizing on it!

Even Discovery Channel, and Animal Planet, his home channels, are doing a special starring his young daughter!

Don't get me wrong - the man was a pioneer in animal rights, but the commercialism of it all bothers me.

She will sit and loves to cuddle and sit or lay on us, but we think that because she plays "tag" with our young grandsons, that she thinks that she can get us to chase her and we are too old for that and she should come, sit and come when we command her to for her own and others' safety. Please help!

milks a blanket, chews on every stuffed animal he can get a hold of and chases after the pet rabbit? Any advice? He has been through k-9 training class prior to me getting him today. He is almost 2 years old.

My daughter got a hermit crab yesterday from WalMart. They don't sell extra shells there. I was told that I could go to another city about an hour away to purchase shells, but the man that sold us the crab said we shouldn't need one for awhile. I was going to go this week to get some shells, but I just went into my daughters room and the crab is hanging onto the slits at the top of the little aquarium that we bought him and he's without his shell. Anybody know what I should do or if this is okay?

The cat doesnt cry, only licks it constantly, it has popped or "went down", he wont let anyone near it to look at it, but after it seems to have liquid oozed out, a day later , the huge lump is back, but bigger, i have a dog and 2 cats, but i do keep the animals seperated until i can get to a vet. now I do realize that is what must be ultimately done but i was just wondering what it could be , if its something fatal , contagious , to prepare myself for a huge vet bill or not..and if someone was wondering why i took it in in the first place is because not only do i love all animals but it had obviously been attacked or abused, and had very little life in his eyes. He may have been abandoned because he is so lovable, plays so friendly, eats well, sleeps alot and lets you cradle him like a baby, rubs his belly, w/o biting. Is there a home remedy i can do until i get him to vet?

The fish are legally allowed to be imported (they arent on any banned list). But how do i actually go about the whole process?
I know i have to get a licence(but i dont know where from)
I know i need a health certificate (again - where from)
Would i take them to an airport? where would i pick them up from?

Any help would be appreciated. I'll be leaving from Houston Texas, and picking them up as close to South Wales as possible.

My 6-7 mo. old puppy absolutely FREAKS OUT when we try to cut her nails. She's never had a bad experience with nail clipping (we have known her since she was 2 weeks old, and were the first to ever cut her nails). She screams and whines as though we are beating her! We have tried holding her down, giving her treats during the nail clipping, nothing works. If she even SEES the nail clippers, she begins to whimper.

Any suggestions? Her nails are starting to get too long, and I have no idea what to do. Thanks in advance for any advice!

My cat is a pure white male (non albino). He is already been castrated and is coming up to a year old. He's the only cat and is raised inside. I would like to know if this peeing everywhere, as well as the litter tray, is behavioral, gentic or maybe a condition. And what I can do about it?

I want to breed my dog? I would like to stud my dog out, I would be willing to take pick of the litter or not charge too much? Never mind that he is not certified on anything health wise, he is not Championed in anything either. Oh, did I say he was a monorchid? Maybe he has hydrocephalus too! My ***** has been in labor pushing for 12 hours and there is no pup, I can't take her to the vet because I don't have any money though. Can dogs get pregnant if they only tie once?? What colors will I get if I breed a white German Shepherd to a Black and Tan German Shepherd?? If you people need to ask these questions, why don't you ask the breeder that you got your dogs from about breeding?? Is it because your dog came from a BYB that did not know anything and you think you have the best dog out there?? I want to find a Snorkie stud to breed my Snorkie ***** to, and by the way she is purebred because she has CKC papers!! What kind of questions do people need to ask before they know they

It looks like hair, and it is stuck on the bottom of the tank, on the rocks. What is this from? Do I need to get rid of it?

This tank has never been stocked, I set it up, and let it cycle for weeks, and have been using the light as a night light. This is a fresh water tank, not saltwater.
Any ideas?

She's doing well and is learning quickly. My problem is staying out of a specific area of the house. She always wants to be with me. We have an area borded off with plywood about 3 feet hight that she can clear easily and jumps over whenever I give her the stay command. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When I scold her she hides and won't come to me. It's seems to be a constant battle. Question: Do we continue with the barrier or take it down and just let her come back with me to this part of house? (It's our bedrooms and formal living room.) We've been putting her in her kennel when she jumps over and disobeys, but I don't want the kennel to be punishment. Help!

I already have a pit bull. He's almost a year old. I have a friend that has two puppies he has to find a home for, and they are a doberman and a rottweiler. Would it be okay to raise these three dogs together? My dog is very friendly, and gets along with other dogs well. These puppies are very sweet and seem to like my dog well enough, but is there anything that I should worry about in relation to the three different breeds?
