I had my dog 12 years. He was sick the last few weeks, we thought it was a UTI. The strongest meds weren't working, it ended up he stopped eating this last week and I had to put him down. My first dog fortunately passed away at home, this one I had to euthanize. It killed me to have him looking at me while I had it done. He had a high pain tolerance so he wasn't showing me signs of pain....I just "knew" it was time. The wonderful vet did an xray after without my knowledge and called and told me his bladder was FULL of stones and he had a tumor on his anal gland that I did the right thing. But anyone who has done this, do you think the dog knows what you are doing to it when you do this. I just can't get his face outta my mind when he was going. I just basically need a little support. I did EVERYTHING the vet suggested for him. He was beat before I got him and had 12 wonderful spoiled years with me, it's just really hard for me. Thank you for any support you can give.

I just got a puppy three week ago. I took her to the vet to get her first puppies shots. I forgot to ask the vet does this cover Parvo or is that the next set of shots. I need to bring her back to the vet in two weeks. Any help would be great for a first timer with a puppy.

My puppy is a male-german shephard. He has very soft hair and a lot of hair more than that of a normal german shephard. His paws are very big but his eyes are very innocent and small.

My cat is elderly, just to get that out of the way. She's not quite 10 yet, but she's up there in age. Despite being a healthy and active cat, she's always been slightly underweight according to veterinarian standards. Within the last month, she's lost that pep in her step and has experienced significant weightloss. I thought, for a while, that maybe it just hurt to chew her food, so I started giving her moist food. Of course, she ate that right up. However, I found her one morning in my bathroom, lying on her side, breathing very heavily, and basically unresponsive. I took her to the vet, and she was diagnosed with feline diabetes. I have to administer daily insulin shots along with feeding her special food... which is, of course, eating my bank account. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any budget-friendly pet foods or any little at-home remedies that could help? Suggestions? I know it's a long shot, but it never hurt to ask...

I thought that I had 2 female canaries so I put them in the same cage, and now one is laying eggs so one must have been a male. She isn't sitting on her eggs and she's broke 2 of the 3 that she's laid. Is there anything I can do for the last one and if she has anymore... please help!!! I can't find anywhere on the net with detailed info on what to do, or what I would have to do to care for it after it hatches. Please don't answer unless you're absolutely sure because I don't want to mess this up anymore than it already is... thanks so much for reading this, hopefully you have an answer.

He's 7, she was 8 and they had never been separated since she had him. She died on May 8th (20 days ago) and he continues looking for her in all of the places she frequented (who said Cats have short term memories?). Often he will go to a certain spot, pause, then call out loudly for her. It breaks my heart especially because she died on account of me not questioning why her belly was bloated (died of a ruptured uterus) while there was still enough time to save her. I dismissed it as weight gain and possibly some constipation.

There's another Cat I have from a separate litter who is also her offspring and over the past week, he's been doing something similar...looking for her.

Thanks very much for your help!

I cannot affort a vet. My cat is drinking, but meows when is picked up. Looks dull and in discomfort. I suspect that his tummy is sore. I have not seen him use the litter. He has been sick but brought up just a watery solution as he has not eaten for several days. What can I use to rehydrate him? He is about three years old and has never been a big or vigorous cat unlike his playmate and housemate. But he is very, very loving and it is breaking my heart to see him like this. Is there any help out there please. If you need to know more please email me. Thank you Sylvia.

Do you think that we can do a decent job with clippers, we have bought soe dog clippers and are just too worried to start using them as we are not sure we can make her look good. She is an Airedale Terrier.

I think it might be due to the heat.

He has leukemia (idk if i spelt it right) and the doctor said he won't live for more than half a year but we werent expecting it to be this soon. For the last couple of days he's just been laying in the same spot, but today he doesn't want to move AT ALL, he isnt eating, and he's been going to the bathroom on himself. We'd take him to the vet but theyre closed today. He's having trouble breathing and he just gave out 3 loud meows, idk if its because of pain or the trouble breathing. I dont expect for him to live, but is there anything I can do?

I lost my tortoise on Saturday evening when he was walking around the backyard. I always let him out in the backyard but he is always easy to find. But now he is NOWHERE in the backyard. He is a russian tortoise. I have found two holes under my fence that lead to different neighbors houses and I have already checked one and I was going to check the other neighbors house today. My dad says that he is still in the backyard but I know he isn't, my dad also says that a tortoise wouldn't go under a fence but what do you guys think? Where else would he go?!?!? My dad said that he would show up eventually but my Tony(my tortoise) goes where he wants to all the time. What should I do? Where is he? He is 4.5 inches long.

What I mean by falling is she used to be able to hang on to my shirt and keep a tight grip, now I have to be VERY careful with her. She occasionally falls in her cage.
I can't seem to locate information on the internet about aging
birds, as 23 is -quite old.
Thanks for any information :)

We took our 3 yo dog to the dog park a couple days ago. Since then he has been favoring his hind leg until yesterday. All seemed fine, then he started holding his front paw up(he had been walking fine on it most of the day-and he is a house dog only goes out side on a leach). We examed the area to see if there was any thing had got into it but his pad seemed fine, his pain is all by his toe nails. Is there some treament that can be done at home to help my little man out? Right now we have it bandaged up with some triple anit. on it.
