Sylas... my 1 year old Great Dane was in my yard.. tied up (because he can jump over the fence) I have 2 beware of Dog signs up. I am a homeowner in Chicago. My neighbor's bratty kids like leaning over the fence to touch him. Apparently... he bit a little girl. The puncture wounds are not deep. He does have all his vaccinations. Can the girl's parents sue me? Does homeowner's insurance cover? What should I expect? How do I prepare?

Her stomach is swollen and everytime she moves she cries and she threw up this morning and she's weak and she's been sleeping off and on the whole day. This whole month she's been eating a lot of grass. She's about a year and 2 months old and an English Springer Spaniel. When she's not asleep, she's over excited and bites a lot and tries to wrestle and play fight and chew up stuff. She's usually really good. What's wrong with her?

The remaining one seems to be missing its mate and I have heard it may die of loneliness.I have noticed also that it lets my 2 parrot fish bully it,something which would never have happened when its mate was around..it is still feeding well but hides in the plants a lot.

I've been weak for a weak now and been to the ER last night. Diagnosed with gastrointestinitis. But I just saw a maggot size worm on the tail of my 6wk old kitten and she and the 10wk old kitten has been sharing everything. And the even share my bed with me at times. The little one would curl up on my neck at nights. Sometimes I wake up with her rear end close to my cheek. Now, I don't know what to do...I don't even know what type of worm is that. I found her with many fleas. She is flea free now. And appointment to see the vet is booked up for 2wks now. I'm worried more about my health now more than the cats. Any suggestions?

If I put an upside down co2 "container" of some sort in my tank, can I simply blow some bubbles into the water under the container, so the container holds my co2 and it eventually disperses into the water? Is that possible? Or should I go with the yeast method of diy co2 injection?
I want to help my plants out, I don't want to poison my fish, and I don't want the pH to drop badly because I don't have much of a buffer, I don't think.
I have four small-medium sized plants and four small fish (3 glowlights, 1black neon) in my ten gallon, and my tank is pretty new. It's 10 days old, approximately, and the ammonia and nitrites are still at 0.
Is it safe and effective to just blow co2 NOT into the water, but into an upside down container that will dissolve the stuff into the water?

Thank you :)

I just added a new tiger oscar cichlid to my 55gal aquarium. The aquarium is new, but I have tested the ph (7.8 right now and I understand that cichlids like high ph levels), nitrate and ammonia are perfect at 0 and the water temperature is 77-78 which is fine. When I setup the water, I used the water conditioner and put in the stress coat when I added the fish. The fish were floating in their bags for about 20 minutes in the water before I let them free.
One of my cichlids is almost laying on its side in the corner. The other 2 are hiding which is normal but are still fluttering their fins and look fine. So, what could be the problem with my black one? I cant figure out where the problem is.

We're living in an apartment right now, and will be getting a house eventually. When we do we'd like to get a dog. My husband wants a lab, and I already know they make good family pets. I want a great dane. I've heard that they can be surprisingly docile inside (which would be a good thing) and that their size (other than when they lean on someone, or are playing in a yard with a really short fence) isn't a problem. Is this true? Are great danes a good pet to have?

I have an 8 month old cat. He sniffs my mother, then starts huffing or panting towards her. She's the only one he does this towards, or at least so far. He's my first cat and I have no clue. He is not nuetered yet, it is scheduled for a week from now. Will this behavior change afterwards? Why's he doing this? Thanks for any help.

He is usually very active and swims around his 5 gallon tank (which is filtered and heated apropriately), however when I got home, he was lying on the bottom with his fins quite clamped. Also, his eyes are both a little cloudy. He still eats like total pig but only comes up to get food or air. I put 'Aqua Safety' in this morning (10ml for 5gal.) it should regulate all the pH and stuff but i haven't got a test kit handy and probably won't get one for a while... please help!
PS i also have a small catfish who is in the tank and he seems 100% o.k. (they are not aggressive towards each other)

We drive to the dogs park which is about a 5 minute drive. Both of my dogs are very well-behaved in the car, and sit patiently waiting, whether we're in the car for 5 minutes or hours...

The only exception is that they react very strongly whenever we pass by a dog in the street. Even if they're being super-quiet in the car, upon noticing a dog, even if it's on the other side of the street, both of my dogs go crazy. They start barking violently, jumping over one another, scratching at the window.

I'm never sure how to react. If I'm driving, I can't exactly give them my full attention, so i just end up kinda yelling at them to be quiet, but sometimes I think that just makes them more anxious.

Any suggestions??

Could fleas cause my cat to lose it's hair? She keeps licking her fur and wherever she licks the fur comes out..What is the best treatment for getting rid of fleas? Will fur balls become a problem since she is licking her fur?

I have a 16 year old collieXkaeshund female dog. She has always been very obedient and toilet trained, but recently started weeing in the house. My mother thinks rubbing her nose in it works, but I think this is futile and unnecessary. I'm unable to offer an alernative, however. I don't want the dog put to sleep: she doesn't show any other sign of senility or unhappiness. But my parents are both houseproud and get quite cross about it, even though the dog doesn't seem to think it's wrong any more. She doesn't even bark to go out any more. A few weeks ago she had cystitis which I think started it, as she had to go all the time and probably couldn't be bothered to bark any more. She's blind and deaf, so a simple "no" won't do.
