I have a Doberman Pinscher that's almost 6 months old (will be 6 months on the 20th of June) and I can currently feeding him about 1 cups 3 times a day on Iams for large breed puppies, but he is never satisfied. Numerous times he has knocked the lid off the container I have his food in and gorges until he can barely walk. Then he just passes out for a few hours.
He will probably mature to 90 pounds or so, but he is currently 35. He was malnurished when I first got him. He only weighed 27 pounds and was infested with fleas and tape worms. He was also the runt of the litter, so I'm assume he had to fight for his food which would explain why he is frantic when eating.
So, in closing, should I increase his food intake (if so to how much?) or keep it the same?

Can anyone offer me any advice? My rabbit has sore hocks and they're not getting any better. When we went to the vet he suggested changing his bedding to a layer compost, then his hay on top of that. To me this seems very strange. He also said I should clean his hocks 3 times a day with salt water. But I want to do more for my boy!

I looked at his feet today and they are very red and I've noticed he's sitting at a strange angle so I think they are hutrting him. What should I do? Any advice is appreciated. (unless it's offensive)

We have 3 cats and a huge flea problem. I have spent many, many, many dollars going to the vet, over the counter stuff, and high electric and water bills trying to rid our house of these pests. We vaccuum everyday AT LEAST once, most of the time it is 3 times a day. The kids' bedding and mine is done daily and the mattresses vaccuumed. The pillows are put in the dryer for at least 30 minutes. All stuffed animals have been placed in bags out in the garage for almost a month now. We still have the problem. Once cat is even losing hair and has sores from the fleas. Yes, he has been to the vet many times. All three cats have been to the vet many times and like I mentioned many of dollars spent. I am sick of spending the money and NOTHING working, plus the high utility bills are getting outragous with the summer here and the AC on now. Please if anyone knows of anything else please HELP!!!!

I found her on the street just tonight and she's still so small that she can fit in my hands. I've been reading up on kittens and I'm very worried. I have no idea how old she is. I've never cared for any kitten or cat before.

Her eyes are still closed but she has teeth. I thought they weren't supposed to get those until three weeks. But eyes are supposed to open by 7-10 days. Is something wrong? She can also walk pretty decently. She doesn't crawl at all. Also, what are some other tips to keep her healthy?

3 years ago I puchased two sisters from a breeder in CA. I have since then purchased a male and they were bred. Luckily the females came in heat faily closely so I will have 2 litter within a week.

I currently have a 3 week old litter of 6 and Kaylie is expected to have 4 of the precious Frenchies in a weeks time.

I got Kaylie and Ellie for $1900 each and I got E-Jay for $1600. Any ideas how much I should sell the babies for?

The French Bulldog pups will be vaccinated, AKC reg, wormed, flead, microchipped and vet checked.

I AM NOT ADVERTISING TO SELL THEM HERE! I am simply asking how MUCH to sell them for.

I have 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that am thinking of breeding together but was curious about what it entails with all the health testing required before breeding? How much does it cost? What is involved in the actual testing? Thanks. :)

My puppy is a border collie, lab and husky mix and is aprox. 7 months old. She constantly bites people thinking that she is just playing but often becomes very vicious and violent. I'm running out of options and do not want to resort to shock collars. Please help!

I have run into a marital situation that has paralyzed my financially cut off. I rescue as many dogs as I can and thanks to the contributions of a new rescue, my responsiblity of ten dogs doubled. All of this is happening at the exact time of year when they are all due for shots, wormer, frontline, heartguard, etc. Not to mention the special care that required a financial commitment before the new pups,.... A Doberman blinded by Diabetes and needs insulin twice a day....an elderlyn Border Collie/Dalmation mix that has a weight problem which contributes to his arthritis pain,....a Chow mix that suffers from periodic seizures, ....a St. Bernard/ mix that has a severe skin condition that I am constantly having tested to locate the cause., but meanwhile has to take steroids and medicateed baths. etc....
With a total of 20 dogs that need vaccinations, wormed, frontline and heartguard, is there any suggestions that might be able to help me without resorti
