The last day or so I have noticed my cat (who is long haired) has lost a couple of patches of fur. It's almost looks like someone cut out a chunk of his coat. I've noticed a piece come off when he was licking himself, but there doesn't appear to be any bald spots on his body and no sores that I can tell. Is this normal or is there something wrong?

I have an adorable 3 month old ragdoll kitten charlee! i dont know much about the ragdoll breed but he constantly bites everyones ankles when they are walking and bites when people try and pat him. He bites my partner alot the only person he doesnt often bite is me. How do i stop him from biting and is it normal? (i asked the lady we bought it from if it was normal it bit so much and she said yes because he is a kitten but will grow out of it)

I'm about to get a 46 gallon aquairum to transfer my orandas and buy two more. I know that it's important to let the beneficial bacteria settle in the gravel so the water gets balanced chemically wise. What is the best method to do it? I have seen a liquid containing bacteria which after two weeks settles the water, but dont't know if it really works. I lost some fish when I first set up my ten gallon one, and wouldn't like to loose my orandas, which I have had for years now.

Both of my ears, right now, have bites on them. For some reason when ever my bird sees a phone and he is on my shoulder he just tkaes a chunk out of my ear. (not litterally but it is pretty hard) He usually brakes the skin. I don't get it. Is he trying to protect me? Has this ever happened to anyone else? Do you know why he is doing this?

Her name is Sassy she's a miniature poodle who in her "heyday" weighed abt 13lbs. Now she weighs just under 10. She was spayed years agp. I've taken her to the Vet who tested her for many things incl. worms. I've tried every dogfood I can think of. I don't know what else to do! Her teeth appear to be OK, but could use cleaning. She's an inside pampered pooch. I love her very much, & I need advice. Any ideas?

Wanted a practical solution, and not just ideas. Please give the solutions that are practically possible, unlike fetching an ape to threat them, to go for solar fencing etc. A simple and practical best answer is highly appreciated.

When my 2 younger cats drink from the water bowl they have their own way of drinking the water. The girl dips her paw in and licks it but my male cat, which is her brother, will just cry his head off if there is no water in the sinks
Do you cat do this or are mine just crazy?

Mine hears me cracking the ice cube tray and comes running cause he KNOWS something will fall on the floor. I'm sure he would chase a big cube if I dropped it for him, this is how much joy he takes in it! What other odd things does your cat do?

ok first, in all the pictures I see of swordtails, their top fins(I dont
know the specific name if there is one) is always laid down, and mine were like that at first,
but now they are always straight up, is this normal?

Second, my youngest, smallest swordtail, looks like she has a bit of a sunken stomach, but im not sure if its my imagenation (the other day I thought she had a hole in her head and I flipped out then looked again and it was a reflextion) So could this be internal parasites possibly? You can only really tell when you are down low, which is why im not sure if shes always had it or not cause im not normally at that level

I just bought a female betta to add to my ten gallon. There are three other fish in the tank (what kind cannot be disclosed to preserve the generality of the answers, but no they're not bettas nore do they look like bettas). Okay the thing is when I sat her little cup by the tank she stared very intently at the other fish, they took all of her attention. I can't tell if she is flaring at them because her fins are so short (common trait of females) and she is my first betta. Or could she just really want to get to know her new fish friends. I just don't want to start any fishy drama. What do you think?

I got a lot of answers saying he is eather hybrid or shepard mix. I want to know hot to tell those apart... He may be shepard but I think shpards are more slender... But then again he may be fat. How do I tell if a hairy dog is fat? The hair confuses me.

And for those of you saying I WANT him to be wolf are very wrong, I just want to know what he is. And of coarse I'm happy to have him (Aside from destroying everything in his path) but I'm a very curious person so if you think I want to him to be wolf please keep it to yourselves.

So the questions here are:

How to determine if my dog is a hybrid or Shepard?

How to determine if a very haiy dog is overweught?

Thank you for your tolerance.

I just got a 9 week old female Great Pyrenees. I had an adult one for a few weeks about 25 years ago, but it ran off after someone gave it to me. It seems like he was quiet and took a beating real well from my 3 year old. Tell me if you've owned one, and what you think about them personality wise etc.

I brush my dog's teeth at least 3 times a week, and when I brush his teeth his gums bleed enough so I can see it on the brush... I don't think it is gingivitis because that is caused by poor dental care and I try to keep my dog's teeth in top condition. Why do you think this is happening?
