I have a Bengal and a Siamese. When I touch or pet the Bengal, very often there is a static electricity shock. It is often - if I'm petting him, there's a shock about once every three strokes. But with the Siamese it almost never happens.

(Detail - as you would expect, the static shock happens when me and the Bengal are standing or sitting independantly - it doesn't shock if he's on my lap)

My puppy, a mixed breed terrier, wets the floor when excited. When she's frightened by another dog, it's a big puddle, and when she's just happy to see someone, she leaks all over their shoes. Is there anyway I can stop this?

how much does it cost to go to the vet for a check-up on your cat? also when you call in to ask for prices, what questions should you ask like specifically what items would you be asking? how much for this vaccine... ? stool sample... ? normal check-up...? surgical procedure...?

We took him to get his vaccinations and get de-wormed two days ago around 2 pm, later than night he has a long worm hanging out of his butt then his next 2 stools had worms in them. So far he hasnt passed any more. They were pretty long and round (What my mother said)
Im concerned, is it just that the medicine worked, or should we take him to the vet?

parvo, etc, and a dose of frontline for fleas. She is normally very healthy and spunky but about an hour ago she started looking weak and she yelps when I try to pick her up. I don't know if it is her joints or abdominal tenderness but she is very sore. Is this a typical reaction?

I'm twelve years old. I live in a city were there are quite a bit of dogs. My friend was thinking of walking dogs for extra cash, and she asked me to walk the dogs with her. We were going to split the money 50/50, but now I'm not really sure. What if the dog gets away or gets hurt? What should I charge? Would people trust their dogs with two twelve year olds? How much should we charge?

I am looking at getting at least a 20 gallon tank, can get a larger one if I need it. I have a son, and these will be our "pets". I am interested in fish that are active and colorful. Also, suggestions on fish that can be combined so there is more than one kind. I also recently read that you should start a tank with only 1-3 fish at a time. Do you find this to be true?

I have a 10 gallon that I would like to use as a breeding tank. My dd wants mollies but I read they need 30 gallons. Guppies look easy enough but I kind of want to try gouramis.
What do you think for a beginner? I can buy more tanks or supplies if you think I should....
