My cat has what appears to be a inflammed lower lip; it's noticeably bigger. At first i feared it was a serious internal disease, but now i think it's more likely a dental problem. if this is dentally associated, what can i do to improve his gum health? if he were to have gum disease is it reverseable and/or treatable. today i bought friskies dental diet dry food to help improve. his lower lip or gum appears to be inflammed. as i open his mouth it looks like the swelling goes back to his two front bottom teeth, kind of like his gum and his lower lip....? he's young if that helps (turned 2 yrs. this month)
what do you think? any suggestions would be helpful, please?

P.S i do plan on taking him to the vet a.s.a.p.

He is only young and dislikes sitting in shallow water or having water sprayed on him.

I have two chihuahuas and I'm moving to South Carolina. I'm taking my 2 chihuahuas with me on a plane. I'm trying to think if it would be a good idea for me to buy an cheap airline ticket (domestic) from a travel website (Priceline, etc.). Then later go to the airport and pay a fee of $50 to $90 per dog to travel with me on plane.

I just adopted a dog two weeks ago, he showed signs of kennel cough, I noticed at first mucos from his nose, which could have been from the bordetella treatment given. He coughs with uper respiratory breathing affected aswell. But he remains active, eats well... He's up , he sleeps , he's up he sleeps... I'm not certain what is normal breathing for the dog, being that I've never owned a dog... I took him to the vet the first week, vet couldn't give me an answer, said it could be pnemonia or a fatal virus of some sort.. He was given clavamox and vitamins.. He also has worms that they gave him shot for and had previously been treated for, during the first week, he did show some temperature that I thought normal for a dog, but as I have read up is not, since given his treatment a week later his cough has gotten a bit better but is still there and his breathing at times is fine and at times not. I'm not so worried about the worms as I am over this cough that might take him to the grave.

I came home from the pet store today to find a chihuahua half frozen in my snow covered yard. I could hardly even see him! I immediately brought him in the house and got him warmed up, fed, and watered. I then put up signs all over looking for the owner and called animal control to report it. They won't be able to come get him for 5-6 days since I agreed to foster him until the owner shows up or they can get here. (loads of problems there right now with distemper exposure) He has no tags and appears very skinny. I know NOTHING about this breed because I have always been partial to large breed dogs. So my questions are:

1) Is it normal to see their spine and hips? It's not extremely prominant but definately clearly noticable.

2) Are sore on the leg joints common in chihuahuas?

3) Do the legs normally have very little fur on them?

4) Is it common that he does not bark at all or even really respond to sounds other than a kissing sound?

More coming.......

They told me at the shelter that she was "Chihuahua/Terrier". I can see the Chihuahua but can not figure out what else. For a while I was thinking Jack Russell but I don't think that is right. Here are the pics, I tried to get all her "looks". She is about 15 lbs and super soft on the head and ears and has a little thicker fur around the neck.Also note the curled, white tipped tail. I love her no matter what but just have to figure this out!!

My cat was in heat 2-3 weeks ago and we were bring a refrigerator through the front door and she ran past. She was gone for 24 hours and when she came back there was another cat with her. I am pretty much positive she is pregnant. My question as I stated above is would I be able to feel lumps this early on..? It's only been about 2-3 weeks (can't remember exactly) but I think i feel little bumps in her stomach. She is much more affectionate and wants me to pet her stomach. She is eating more as well.

She's been acting extremely jumpy and nervous, drinking a lot, and eating far more than usual. Am I just overreacting?

I have a pomenerian ( about 10 months old) and she's been losing a lot of hair ( not to to the point where she's bald or something) and i know it's normal for dogs but it's just a lot... i'm pretty sure it's not because of stress, so then why? and what can i do to stop this???

I'm thinking about getting one of those pet fountains for my cat. She absolutely loves drinking (and playing in) running water from our tub and sinks so I think she would enjoy something like this.

I've been looking online and in pet supply catalogs, Drinkwell and Fresh Flow seem to be the popular brands. What kind do you have, and do you and your pets like it? Any suggestions on what size would be good for a cat? I'd prefer one that doesn't need the filter changed on a daily basis and is fairly easy to clean. Price is not really an issue; I just want a quality fountain.

I recently adopted a German Shepherd from a family member. She has had excessive training and is incredibly obedient. Because this family member did not have the time a lot of her training was not kep up with and she did not go out to much other than car rides. In taking her out I have found her to be incredibly well-behaved but I am having one consistent problem. At the dog park she chases small dogs and other small animals (When there are no small animals around I have complete control over her) I am thinking she either has a high prey drive or this is a result of her herding instinct. Either way I am wondering if there is any effective way to remedy this because although she had never harmed another dog it scare me and other dog owners. We have a cockatoo at home and she sometimes approaches her however when we say "NO" she immediatly stops the behavior. Any ideas?
