My kitten is 3 months old and has a pot belly. He has already been to the vet with a stool sample and it came back positive for parasites (worms). I know a pot belly is a sign of this. He was put on medicine for it, which we have been giving him. My question is, when will his pot belly go away? Or is he stuck with it? Could it cause other health problems down the line? I've never been through this with any of my cats before, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Please help, my red-capped oranda goldfish keeps sitting on the bottom of the tank, even when the other two (one browny goldfish, seems very compatible with severe conditions, and an orange fantail) swim around as per usual. sometimes they all sit at the bottom, ive checked pH, added water ager and the water is at room temperature, though its quite cold now. What could it be???

I have had a betta before but he was in a 2 gallon bowl, unfortuntaly he jumped out and passed away due to drying out. Back to my question, i am currently thinking of purchasing a male betta and have a 5 gallon mini bow sitting empty in the basement, it has a side hanging filter (a wisper series) and i would add a heater. Would my betta be better off in the tank i just described (the mini bow) or posibily a smaller tank or bowl?

I gave my dog Panacur once a day for 3 consecutive days, repeated the procedure after 3 weeks again. The vet told me that I would be able to see the hookworms in his feces after couple of days, however I did not see anything, so I was wondering if anyone has had similar experience? is it possible that the hookworms are gone even though I didn't see them when I was picking up after my dog?

my cat has been loosing some hair on his tale, theirs about a 2to3 inch bald spot right where his tale connects with his body. he's goes in and outside through out the day so he could have picked something up. also i found a scab on his right front leg last night and it is about the size of a dime. his leg looks kinda swollen around the area also. im just woundering what it could be and if i need to take him into the vet. also it seems like that back part of his body the hair is thinning but this could be from the change in seasons.

I have a 1.5 gallon tank with a male Betta in it, and it has a filter, and an air pump. I have some small stones that are on the bottom. In the instructions it said to change the filter cartridge once every two weeks. Is this enough to keep the tank clean? If its not, how often should I do a water change?

Have a 55 gal with 9 bronze cory cats, 5 zebra danios, 3 glass catfish and 1 asian striped catfish. What are some fish I can add to add color? Tried male guppies and the glass cats attacked and ate their tails...but they hadn't been eating and are now eating well. The zebras were nipping the guppies also. Going to be getting a Penguin 350 and a Fluval 305 tonight so should have good filtration. Since I am taking the old filter out and adding two unestablished ones should I wait to add more fish? Cant run two HOB filters because its acrylic and not enough of an opening. Planning on seeding the new filters. Would love to see some color in my tanks soon. Thanks for any help

I just got a one-year-old golden retriver, he had no prior training and no papers, I also think he may have been abused...anyways, he knows sit, stay, and come(which we have been working on), but anytime the front door is open, he'll bolt and I have to chase after him with the leash, because he won't come back. Just last night my friends and I had a BBQ and I felt bad because I had to keep him on a short leash while all the little kids were running around, and our front yard isn't fenced yet. How can I get him to understand his boundaries and how far he can go, so he can be off a leash?

do the males and females have to be similar or can you breed any female with any male?

I recently adopted 2 gold fish. However, one looks more like a koi. Anyway, the Koi must have jumped out of the tank yesterday. He wasn't moving, but after being placed back in the tank, he has started swimming and eating.. his white tail fin is turning brown on the edges and his once silky smooth scales appear to have dried out or become rough. Do you have any advice? He is small, 3" and in a 20 gal tank.. Really worried.

I've had my turtle since I was nine and it's been eight years. a couple of months ago he stopped eating and would just lay around in his bowl of water, sleep all the time. and for the past two weeks i had been asking my mom if we could take him to the vet. we finally did yesterday and the veterenarian was talking about how he had shell-rot and something else. but he said that anything else could be wrong with my turtle but you cant tell because of the shell and turtles dont show many signs. we ended up leaving him at the vet so they could put him to sleep because even if we paid a ton of mony for antibiotics there's no guarntee he would make it. so my mom had been feeling bad and saying that it's her fault even when I told her it wasnt. what else could I say to her to make her feel better?
