I just got a hamster. It is a female dwarf hamster. She is white with pink eyes(I don't know the exact breed)
Everytime I try to pick her up she bites me and runs away. And her bites HURT! Not to mention it's kinda scary.
All I want to do is hold her or put her in her exercise ball but she just won't stop biting. I understand I must give her time to adjust but this is just crazy! Is this normal?

Okay ... I'm writing a story and there are these fox things in it and I had names for them, but they were very ... stupid.

All I can come up with for new names are Todd (fox and the hound inspired) and Celeste which I got off of a site.

Anyone like those or have any suggestions?

Please Help!

The places where some of my friends have gotten them are petsmart and stores like that. Is that a good choice for a place to buy this pet. I have done tons of research and i am sure i could handle the needs of them.

MY Mini schnauzer gave birth may 29th.? A rough birth.
The first came breach and i raced home as the dogsitter was reluctant to pull it out. It was the largest and died.i believe it suffocated The next two came no problem 25 min apart. On the 4th one it took two hours of pushing so i ran her to the vet and he pulled out the placentia from the one before. He considered a c-section when the next one came. So i took her home where she delivered 2 more. One thing is we kept having to help with the placentia. I took her and the 5 alive puppies in on the 3rd day friday to the vet and her temperture was normal. I had her feel to see if there were and dead puppies still in her. She said can only tell with a xray. I opted not to have one. See told me to monitor her . So far the mother is eating very well and seems to feel good. How long will it be before she got sick/toxic effects of dead puppy inside her. I opted not for a xray because she is eating normal and seems to be feeling good.????

I noticed the bump about a week or so ago but it was nothing major. He has a scar down the center of his tummy where he had to have surgery from being mischevious and eating parts of a towel. I thought it was something to do with that because it is in the middle of the scar. However, it has been quite some time since his surgery. This morning I noticed the bump had gotten much much bigger. It feels like a hard grape under his skin. I will take him to the vet Monday, but I just worry! Has anyone experienced this or have any advice?

I have a 4 month old cocker spaniel. He is less interested in his food the last 3 or 4 days. He is active and peeing and pooping and overall seems fine. He did throw up some yellow liquid yesterday. Always before he could hardly wait to eat and gobbled it up right away. Now he just sniffs it and walks away and later eats it. I fed him this morning and he finally ate it. Now it's 7:00 p.m. and he doesn't seem interested in eating again. I feed him Iams puppy food and that's all I've ever given him. He gets no people food at all.
Is this just a phase? He does have an appt. with the vet on Monday, so I'm glad about that. I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this.
It's just wierd that he was so excited to eat before and eat fast and now he can take it or leave it.

I'm curious as to which dogs you hate to groom the most due to typical attitude and coat type? I don't like Schnauzers, Cockers, Goldendoodles & Maltese. Also, do you work at petco/petsmart or a private shop? I work in a private business.

My mother has a barn cat that had kittens. She brought all the kittens to her front porch but then about 3 days later brought another kitten...this kitten shakes when it walks. It appears to be ok but has this weird shaking thing going on when it creeps around on the porch.
Is this something normal or should we take the kitten to the vet?
The kittens just opened their eyes about 2 days ago so I'm guessing they're about 2 weeks old.

The picture in my id is of my lil puppy, 17 week ol husky Butterball, he has just recovered from parvo and I am now terribly anxious and concerned when it comes to anything regarding him, its now been 10 days since he came from the hospital, my regular vet told me to bring him in this coming wednesday for his next doseof vaccination, today is saturday, however, his ICU vet in the 24 hr hospital where he stayed told me not to have him vaccinated until 4 weeks passed, I am now really confused as to when to have him vaccinated? he has had 2 shots of vaccination already and this would be his third, but since he just recovered, i am really anxious about exposing him to any kind of virus again, to add to this i get 2 conflicting advises from 2 vets, can somebody please tell me when i should take him for his next shot? please dont ask me to confer with the vet, as you can see, they themselves are conflicting in their opinions, i need some really sound advice from somebody experienced?

Hi everyone...

Here's the deal...my boyfriend and I adopted a beagle about 5 months ago. He's a great dog when we're home, but when we leave he barks incessantly and even worse, he is passive agressive with other dogs. Sometimes he'll just stand there and let himself get sniffed, but most of the time he bares his teeth and goes after the other dog (for NO apparent reason). He does this on walks and at doggie daycare. He is walked 2-3 times per day and he is trained pretty well otherwise. Any suggestions about how to build his confidence so he doesn't snap at any dogs?!

Also...we've tried leaving for very short periods of time and coming right back, just to try to get him used to being alone...didn't work so well. We know he has seperation anxiety and probably lack of confidence...I just don't know how to fix it. Thanks!

I walked out for a smoke about 45 minutes ago and saw a bat just laying on the side walk. It seemed to have fallin from the tree or lost its grip on the roof. I looked at it closer and saw it had two baby bats attached to its underside. I grabed a paper plate and a broom and swept it up onto the plate and put it on the backyard table so the cats out front wouldnt mess with it. i went out there about 5 minutes ago and it was no where to be seen. I was just wondering if the bat with the young attached to its underside took flight or something.

My 12 yr old White West Highland Terrier had to be put asleep for getting deadly sick maybe about a month ago, but I'm still so sad. We had her for so long and I think that's why I can't stop but think about her. Some people think "oh it's just a dog", but she was like a friend to me, and sometimes I think I can still hear her little feet clicking on the floor when I come home, and it drives me nuts! Is there anything I can do to foget about it? =(
