I got Chaco about 2 weeks ago and he's about 4 months old.

When I'm home alone with Chaco and need to shower or use the bathroom, he just comes in with me cuz he always follows me everywhere. I'm a little worried tho, cuz he gets scared when I go in the shower and leave outside alone. He always wants to come in, so I started showering with the door open so he could see me to give him some ease. Now, EVERYTIME I shower (which is everyday), he wants to come inside. Is this normal/OK? I'm just worried he will get sick or he's too young, or that his skin will get dry. Any advise?

i brought a just-neutered male cat (named Silver, very lovable, good tempered, people cat) up from a house where he has lived alone for several weeks. He came from a group of stray cats outside.

In the new house, there are two cats, fixed male ("Fatboy",fat, good tempered around female and people) and unspayed female ("Cali", shy, wary, runs instead of get into conflict). They have both been in the house for several years.

Fatboy and Cali are somewhat accepting of Silver, no real hostility shown from either. But Silver constantly growls and hisses when either of the other two are in sight.

I understand that this is natural and they will take time to get used to eachother, but is there any way that I can get them used to eachother's scent to avoid any fights when they are left alone?

My dog is posessive of my husband. She will lay pressed up against him when we are sitting on the couch and if I go to pet her she'll give me "the look" and move away like she doesn't want me petting her. I can pet her at any other time - but not while she's laying on my husband's lap or next to him. Anyone else have a dog with this issue? If so, what do you do?

I need you to vote OUT OF THESE which puppy name you like for a black, female, Miniature Schnauzer. And I want it to be very feminine... like a princess. Except not the name Princess I hate that name unless it's like a title.

My cat has a disease called pemphigus (probably not right spelling) pronounced pem-fi-gus. Her immune system produces too many white blood cells. She got REALLY sick and she went all scabby and lost some hair. She is MUCH better now but she eats too much even though we have cut back. She is so fat that even her stomach is pink where her hair has rubbed away. Her hair will never grow back because of all the drugs she is on. She takes leukeran and some other drugs that help. In total, she has 3 drugs. What should i do about her fat and her constant eating??

Okay, it would appear that my dog has a chip taken out of her shoulder. She has an appointment in three hours. When I asked what I could do for her they simply told me to keep her quiet (which has proved nearly impossible, she tries throwing erself around), and otherwise were total jerks. I realize they may have been busy, but I explained my situation, she whines if I shake her paw, and it's just terrible. "Do you have an extensive knowledge of canine shoulders?" the woman sneered when I explained my predicament, I was about to tear my hair out. Do you have any advice?

Yesterday morning my cat peed in the middle of my bed... she is only 2 months old and has never peed anywhere in the house but her litterbox. Her litter box is in the laundry closet, secluded in its own corner; It is also regularly cleaned. I haven't changed her food, litter brand, or any daily routine. What might have caused her to do this?

Im taking my 7 wk old pomeranian to the vets on Friday. I want to know what shots are needed at the visit. I dont want him getting shots he doesnt need just so the vet can make extra money. If you can give me a list of what shots puppies should get and what ones arent really necessary, that would help out alot. There are so many websites that have conflicting information on vaccinations.

My dog Artex is 14 years old. We got her when I was really little, and I've grown up with her my whole life. Last month she had a breast tumor removed, and they said it was cancerous. They think they may have gotten it all out (I was really hoping so too), but just today I found another tumor on her front leg. I'm trying to convince my mom to get surgury for her leg too, but if she has cancer all over, how much time do you think I still have with her? I'm really worried, and I'm having a hard time dealing with it. I'd just like to know how much time I still have with her. Thanks for the help.

Yesterday, one of my neighbours drove over a cat. Appalled at this wanton act of cruelty, someone who lives in the same compound as myself complained to the driver. the driver merely shrugged and said it's only a cat. (We are living in a country where animals have NO rights, animal rights being a western concept, and cats are viewed with disdain by people here)
It turned out that this cat had a kitten. the kitten is extremely young, (the eyes are no longer blue, but it still has the fluffy baby kitten fur. I'd say it's about 6 weeks old. It followed me everywhere. not being a cat person, i didn't realise the poor kitten was hungry! Luckily the witness mentioned above is a cat person. the problem is... we are volunteers who are in this country for only a short time. (Until 2008) I think it is terrible to be kind to be cruel... form attachments with the kitten, only to abandon it when out term of service is up.
What would you advise, given the above situation?
thanks.
