and the Police say it's down to the RSPCA? I am vey upset and nearly in tears over a dog who was left alone for 14 hours yesteday and howled and cried throughout this time. Today he was left alone for 11 hrs, someone then came home at 6.pm after the dog had been on his own for 11 hours but left shortly afterwards. Thiis dog is desperate, must be dehydrated and heaven only knows what he is doing about having a wee or anything else. What capped it all was that I was told by the police that if I had only reported this as noise polution I would have got a response. How can this be? Please, anyone who can help, tell me what I do before this dog dies (it's getting hot again). Can I ring my own vet?

The other day, I saw some on her tummy. They were round, red spots. But today, I saw some in her big, floppy ears! She's a Yellow Lab. The poor thing, I see small red dots on the inside of the ears. Any advice?? Thank you!

Read this story about what happened to this officer.

"South Bend Officer Loses Finger During Dog Training




SOUTH BEND, Ind. - A South Bend police officer lost a finger after it got stuck in his new police dog's collar during a training exercise.

Sgt. Steve Noonan says he was reaching for an animal treat on the ground when his right index finger got caught in the dog's choke collar on Wednesday. The dog pulled away while the finger was stuck, and three-quarters of the finger was ripped off.

Doctors could not reattach the finger because the damage was too severe.

Noonan was released from the hospital Thursday. Things could have been worse as he is left-handed and the finger he lost is on his right hand.

Noonan's supervisor says the injury was bizarre, though officers often get their hands caught in the dog collars."

Has this ever happened to you?? It makes you realy think now. I have gotten my fingers caught before with nothing more serious than bruising.

My Gold Severums have been testing each others strength for mating lately. They been doing it so often that some of the scales have started to tear a little inside the top of one of their mouths and on top of their noses. I can see the tear and it was hard for one of them to eat their food because of it. I noticed the tear kind of blocks the openening of their mouth (kind of like if you had a flap of skin that blocks the mouth but they can still eat and breathe threw the mouth) What should I do about this because it is making it harder for them to eat.

I know it the right thing to do but can anyone give me some words of encouragement so I can finally STOP CRYING. I have had her since I was about 3 and I'm 21 now so you can imagine how attached I am to her and also how old she is. She cries all the time (by cry I mean meow really loud non-stop) and is really thin and throws up all the time. I know it's going to happen eventually, sooner than later, so any advice or kind words will help. Thanks.

My Maltese was recently neutered, and so he had the cone on his head for 2 weeks and I didn't comb him because he was in pain and it was hard with the cone. So, he's now been shaved down to a very short coat. How long will it take to grow back?

We are looking to relocate (Oregon to North Carolina) and a 4 day drive in a car/moving truck will be very uncomfortable for my 110lb dobie. Has anyone ever shipped/flown your pet so that there is less shock on them?
I want what is best for him, if not a good idea, then I will not bother looking into it. If ok to do, can someone recommend a good service?
thanks,

I am attempting to find a puppy carrier for my Yorkie. I like the sophisticated-purse look, small, can hide him at one moment, but yet he can poke his head out later. I want it to be comfortable for him though and not feel as though he can't see the outside world, like he's in a box. I'm a fan of Puchi, Creature Couture, and Tara Boone but those run pretty expensive. I want quality and cute but for under $200. Is this feat possible and if so, where?

Hi I have a sick Kitten I rescued. Mooky is about 12 wks. old,but very small and fragile.I have now gotten him to eat a little and drink water every few hours. My question is he is very dirty from being sick, even though I wash his face after eating he still doesn't have a momma to clean him thurally. Can I bathe him safely without worsening his condition. I heard you had to keep them very warm when doing this. The weather here is 88 degrees,so its very warm right now. Oh and his sickness is due to being dumped off and starving to where when I found him he was, so week he could barely stand, so all the advise given would be highly appreciated.

She likes to chew on sticks she finds so I thought hook worms but I was told that you can see worms in the dogs feces if they have them. Is this true. Is this something simple or do I need to take her to the vet?

I'm thinking about feeding ZooMed's Mini Mealies and Can O Snails to my 2 dollar-sized RES. I'm currently providing small live feeder fish and live crickets. I know that they're supposed to have a high protein diet when they're young and want to give some variety. If they'll eat it, is canned food bad? Since they're little, they don't eat much and it would be more convenient than constantly buying live food. Currently, I'm giving fresh greens daily and rotating ReptoMin baby and ZooMed hatchling.
