One pet shop said fish in the wild survive, So not to worry about it, another store said get one, and it only costs $299.59! Anyone have any experience with this?

Would it be unfair to leave them home alone while I go to work?

Your honest input would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance for your thoughts.

The first right answer gets the 10 points.

I found a large knot on my new rescue dog's back last night. It's about the size of a quarter and rock hard. Doesn't move. Has no discoloration on the skin but one very small red spot near the center. What is it?

*** I took him to the vet first thing this morning so I found out what it was but didn't have a clue beforehand! Just curious to see the knowledge going around here on YA since my vet said that exact description over the phone told her exactly what it was.

*** Don't just answer it, tell what can cause it and what to do about it.

Just curious - cuz a lot of folks seem to think that they are just "animal lovers" when really they are downright scary!

i recently adopted what the humane society called a german shepherd mix at 8 weeks. we got her because she looked a lot like a german shepherd but as she gets older shes looking more and more like a begal not to mention has her nose to the ground constantly when outside. so my question is one is it even possible to breed the two given the huge difference in size and two why the heck would anybody want to? i mean were happy with her and love her to death but i guess im just curious if there may be some reason for it.

Hello, sadly my baby passed away about six months ago now. I am ready to get another one now, is there a rescue that isn't too expensive? Or does anyone know of a McCaw, preferably B&G who needs a new, wonderful home? I live in Alberta.

I have two dogs and we just got another one but the one we just got is scared of the two I already had . So how do I help her so she won't be scared . She is afraid of the other dogs.

Ok my son has a lionhead bunny that we just got about maybe a month ago. He is the sweetist little guy. My son just loves him. We all play with him and let him run around the living room (or should I say hop) and he has been great. Well tonight when I looked at the bunny he was acting strange. He was moving his head back and forth and couldn't walk straight and when i held him close I could feel his whole body twitch. This has never happened before with him. My son admits to playing around him but said he didn't hurt him. After about 5 minutes of the shaking like that he finally started to calm down but he wasn't using his front left foot to move and was babying his left side. He is now back to his normal self hoping around and using his left side and eating and drinking just fine. Was this a seizure? Will it happen again? Is it deadly for rabbits to have seizures? I have had many rabbits and never had one with seizures before.

this was to be Destiny's last litter, she is a very healthy, beautiful 5 1/2 years old. im not sure why but she only had 1 puppy, and that one was not healthy. Destiny and her baby just got back from the vet this evening and then her baby died tonight. ( we think she died to fading puppy syndrome) now my akita is walking around the house and crying,... of course that breaks my heart because she is my baby.. is there anything i can do to help her not be so sad. and to keep looking for her dead baby? how long will she continue to do this?

This question kind of goes along with another that i am going to ask,but

I just found 2 fleas on my indoor cat. She just moved into our house where we already have 5 other cats (one is outdoor). Every once in awhile we will find a flea on one of them, but all are treated with Frontline and the fleas are under control. The question is...as i was running though her hair with the flea comb, i noticed that the hair in the last 3 inches if her tail (right before it hits her body) is a bit thicker (almost oily) and is darker at the "roots" than the hair on her body. AND...the hair that is coming off on the "flea comb" is white, but with OBVIOUS dirt-like substance on it. What is this? Is this normal? Does it have to do with fleas? I did find the 2 fleas on her lower back, above this dirty area on her tail.

I keep brishing it and the dirt keeps coming up...what can i do to clean this if at all possible? It seems that she is really sensitive in this area if i comb the hair back.

OUr 13 month old male Black Lab races after the cat whenever it gets a chance. (outside) He recently did catch the cat and pinned him down and I thought that the poor cat was going to die. It was a frightening experience for me, not to mention for the cat! Fortunately the cat is now fine (it is said that cats have 9 lives) and wanting to go play again. I am just concerned that this could happen again.
