Does the dog act aggressive, withdrawn or sickly?

My dog seems to be coughing or gagging alot and she seems to be stiff at times. Lately, she has been eating dry dog food that is all natural and I feed her Kibbles n Bits with gravy as well. She has eaten more of the dry food vs the can food. When she vomitted it was clear and bubbly with lil bits of the dry food in it. I view her stool everytime she passes thinking that I will see something (unusual) but nothing every comes out that is.

This dog is really starting to act strange....im not sure if she has worms or not. Im so upset to see her moping around with the droopy eye look.

Does anyone know ..what are the signs are if a dog has heart worms? Or, if she is just plain ole' sick.....

Hi, I have a 4yr female smooth mini dachshund and a labrador (10yr old nervous male). I want to get a new puppy (mini dachshund) to play with her as she is so energetic and he is grumpy (poor old boy).

A short coat works well for us as we live in a rural area (mud, long grass, deer ticks etc). However I quite like the look of wirehaired dachshunds - how much grooming do they need? are they soft and strokable(sp) like smoothies? are they smelly?

Also, should I get a girl or boy? a boy would have to be castrated b/c my female doxie is not spayed (my old male lab is v. placid, my dachshund is an amazon warrior, if short!)

I am worried because I had a puppy who went under anesthetic to get castrated and he died. It was so terrible i don't want to go through that again, but I think a little boy might fit better with our other dogs. Still, I would love another little girl, but my bitchy is sooo dominant. What do you think?

so i'm unsure of what to do. i have a baby painted turtle that i have had for around 2 months roughly. i dont know what to feed him. normally right now we feed him really often. whenever he follows our finger along the glass and bites at it through the glass we feed him or if he just looks like he is hungry, which is often. so we feed him these mini mini worms that we got recommended by a pet shop guy like 2 or 3 times daily (just a pinch each time) and then we give him an earthworm that we find in our backyard or from the bait shop if we have it on hand probably 4 worms a day. we put turtle pellets in there but he doesnt eat them as much as the worms, so all they do is stink up the place. any suggestions? and i already tried looking this up and no he has no bulging or anything but im just worried because i was told that he can have a deformed shell if he grows too big too fast. thanx so much in advance!!! :)

My sister recently gave me the most beautiful aquarium decoration I've ever seen, but I'm afraid that I might introduce something bad to my fishies if I put it in. Is there a way that I can clean it so it's totally safe? I have no idea who the previous owner was, so I have no idea what it has or doesn't have.

I don't have my fish yet. I want to get the aquarium totally functioning before I introduce them.

Thanks!

I have a large pond and i'm wanting to put Koi in it but i'm not sure where i can buy some. I don't want to pay too much for them (PetSmart sells them for 7 bucks, for the small ones, so any place cheaper would be amazing) Thanks!

My cat had 5 kittens monday night into tuesday morning. She was fine all day yesterday and then last night had a little bit of blood come out. Then she was fine again. When I came home from lunch she had a little bit more on her tail and around her area. Is this normal or is something wrong with her.

I just got him neutered, and picked him up about an hour ago, is it normal for him to be a little anti-social?
He tried to jump into his cage right after he got home, but he didn't notice it was still closed, so he kinda did a face plant into the gate.. i think the drugs still have not worn off, but he is usually very affectionate and always licking me, he won't even touch his carrot that i just gave him, will this behavior go away soon?

my puppy used to be on iams lamb puppy food, she recently stoped eating it... maybe because she stopped likeing it. anyways we tried another iams flavor but she didnt dig right in... infact she would eat a few bites then leave and only eat when i stood by here and made her... dont worry i was not abusive or mean i would just make sure she ate... anyways since that wasnt working well, I switched her again to benifitial you know the one with all the diffrent colors and veggies ect in it?
well my question is how good of a food is this benifitial?
she loves the taste of this i would assume because she jumps right in and chows down... but is there a more nutritious food to feed her.... im just concerned because this food is less expensive that it has more fatty fillers...

BTW my puppy is 6 months old and a border collie

she is a/b 3 months old. she was a stray, and was thin to begin with, but after being spayed this morning, you can literally SEE her ribs. we had to take her to a low cost clinic, so i guess i am overly skeptical to begin with.

My cat gave birth to 4 kittens on June 2nd. There are 2 boys are 2 girls. One of the kittens is meowing very loudly pretty often and when he is awake a white fluid comes out of his mouth. He's breathing kind of weird and he sounds raspy. I'm not sure when he last nursed, but he does sleep. I sort of think the white fluid coming out of him is his mom's milk that maybe he swallowed too much of, but I really don't know. I'm worried that he may have something wrong with him and I don't want him to make the other kittens sick. Please help!!

they dont say if it is a one dose thing, or if it goes evry 2 weeks or anything just says to give them 1 tsp per 5 lbs. He is 25.4 lbs so I gave him 5 tsp. How long does it take to work? when do I give him another treatment? Do I have to give him another treatment? Do I have to shampoo the carpet? We are going to bleach his doggie carrier and machine wash all his toys on hot. Will the cat get these worms? We are at an extended stay hotel and will be for some time and there is high dog traffic and limited areas where I can walk him as we are in Miami now. I have been taking him to a totally different area to deficate but it seems there is only so many areas he is allowed to go to go to the bathroom. I have looked on the Hartz website and it was the same info I already have which I am not satisfied with....Please help me with my questions...also are we at risk of getting the hookworms? Do we need to go to the doctor?
