Bear has always had issues with his hind quarters. It was only recently I noticed that he was slow getting up. He has always had a limp after running, but lately it has seemed to go away. Today on our walk, he was really slow and started somewhat limping. When he does run he does the whole "bunny hop" thing. I am so scared that he may have it. Bear is my life and I would do anything for him but as a military family, the cost of surgery would greatly hurt us. I was just wondering if anyone knew if the surgery could even be performed on a puppy over 1 year and if so, what are the best options and some cost estimates? Thanks

My 8 month old kitten seems so skinny and I'm just wondering if it's cause for concern. She's unspayed and very active. I have 2 other cats but each has their own bowl so there is no fighting for a bowl. She has a healthy appetite and we've been feeding her some canned food along with the dried food. No ribs are showing. She just seems so lanky! I'm hoping it's just her growing.

Hi. I've just bought a new aquarium filter, I wanted to know, for how long should it be on? is it supposed to run 24 hours a day?

I hear small saltwater aquariums are hard to keep. What's different about this one or is it false advertisement?

Read this, and then I will ask a new question. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=At3LWL_1vC3y.wPg_fSohIfsy6IX?qid=20070603070145AAIteEK
I totally cleaned the tank, changed the filter, water, etc, and filled it back up. I conditioned the water, and am now letting it cycle. I got some ph strips, and will test it till it comes out clean, or safe to add fish.

My question is: is there any thing else besides researching what fish to get? I am planning on a tank of tropicals, so I will have the tank run around 75-78 degrees. I have heard danios, barbs, mollies. I don’t really know what species is tropical, so I stopped here first. I figure I have a few weeks to learn from you guys, so here I am. Just give me some advice, and suggest some good, hardy species, for once I’ve gotten the tank to where it should be.

Thanks, and have a good week!

Ok, i bought a blue jack dempsey...and when i put him in my cichlid tank he wasnt going well and was getting attacked. This was at the point where i thought cichlids and jack dempseys were alike and go in the same water. So i took him out and he turned pure black. So now hes in a pure freshwater tank, its a community tank and i can see small spots of his original colors but he is still solid black and on certain times of the day he turns into a lighter black kinda like gray...its hard to explain but i would like to know whats gpoing on?

I always heard hartz products suck and are not healthy for cats, some of the products anyway
There's an adorable stray cat that we've adopted. unfortunately our home cat we've had for few yrs. is too territorial for other animals to bring in.
But want to make this young critter outside as healthy as I can
also are there local places that'll do free rabi shots?
thx

i took him to the vet but she didnt know what it was. she put him on an IV and antibotics for the day. she didnt seem real smart. he has been drooling a lil bit before but he was active. the only thing that i can think of is that i took him to the canal and he drank some canal water which was for a field so it might of possibly had pesticides. am so confused and scared!!!!!!!!

I earlier posted about a GSD temprament problem and NOBODY gave a response to help. What happend to all the GOOD advice from the people who KNEW what they are doing!!!! If any of you know anything about GSDs that show you'd know that they are the ONLY breed that need a temprament test at a confromation dog show! One and for some of you who are a little "slow" GSD means German Shepherd Dog! Where is Torbay Newfs when you need her?!?!? I am very disapointed with some people who let there MUTTS get pregnant becouse they are to ignorant to keep there dog in there yard!!! Also why would you ask on how many times you need to check on your whelping *****???????? Isn't it commin sence that you STAY WITH HER until she is done??? How would you like to be delivering a few kids with no help becouse the doctor dosn't know when to check on you??? I know I wouldn't be ok with that!!!!!! I will not ask for advice here anymore till I find some people who know what they are doing!!!

The "peta kills" websites are owned and operated by a lobbying group for corporations that kill and abuse animals

This guy

http://www.consumerdeception.com

he gets paid millions (thru his group CCF Center for consumer Freedom) to smear all kinds of humane groups, including Peta

They quite bluntly want to stifle exposure of their abuses

(CCF also smears MADD for the liquor industry and works for Big Tobacco)

so why doesn't he reveal his money sources, money amounts, and interests?

I'm certain that this is unusual, as kittens aren't supposed to open their eyes for the first 2 weeks. Should I be worried? They are only 5 days old. 2 of the 4 kittens have their eyes open and respond to visual stimulus. The other two are starting to open their eyes. Again, they are only 5 days old.

i have three mollys, one platy, and two catfish in my freshwater aquarium. I use purified tap water when i clean their tank, and decorations include some real coral and shells, but i think everything in there is either fake or from the ocean. Today i noticed a bunch of tiny little bean shaped animals at the bottom of the tank, and since my mollys and platy have already had babies that look nothing like these bean things, i figured it was catfish babies. Looking closer, the animals are clear, with what looks like a bean shape shell, and they move around using legs at one side of their shell. I tried to take a picture, but my camera couldn't focus in enough, so i'll just say they are about a millimeter long, and i can see their organs through their bodies and shells. They look kind of like clams, but i doubt i would have clams appear in my tank, since they would have to come from a parent clam, which i have never had, What the hell are these things and are they going to harm my fish?

I've had my Maltese for about 4 months now and he has been fully potty trained ever since we got him, he knows where the puppy pads are, he got neutered this Saturday and we also got a new puppy the same day. Now my Maltese poops and pee's everywhere since Saturday, could it be because he got neutered or the new puppy in the house?

Hi i just found it at my fathers house, and it is a very very nice sanke.

I usto own a nother one a while ago but it died because i didnt know what to feed it even though i was trying new things daily. I was just wondering what inviorment i should keep it in right now i have it in a case with a screen over it so it cant get out, with white sand and little peices of stuff that u would regularly finde on the ground, as well as a little covering thing for it to hang out under.

I found a lizard for it to eat and its not that big of a lizard, the snake is about a foot and a half to 2 feet.

What else will it eat?

If you own one or know of some one what does it like to have in its tank?

Thank You Very Very Much!

I have 2 albino oscars and wanted to ask how long they live? The older one of the two is about 4 years old. He has stopped eating pellits and live food and seems to have a hole in his right gill flap. Also the skin on the flap looks old and crater like. I think he is dying and feel he is suffering. What should I do?? Is he dying of old age? ANYONE know???
