Is a rough collie a good family dog? Does it have any special needs?

If not, what other breeds would you suggest for a family?

I have a male spayed cat. He's an indoor cat. I've had him for over a year and a half. He's very well behaved, just all of a sudden he's started to shew computer cables.
I've tried to provide him with more toys, it worked for some time, then he chewed again. So I'm spraying lemon and eucalyptus essence on the cables now and it works, he leaves them alone.
I was just wondering: what the hell possessed him to start chewing all of a sudden?!

My puppy is 11 weeks old. He is a maltese/shih tzu mix. I put a collar on him with the ID tag. Should I use a leash to attach on the collar or use a harness? He doesn't like it when i try to walk him with the leash. my friend suggested getting a harness.

i hope he is not bullimic.. LOL!!

I will feed him Tuna, then the will keep heaving and not bring anything up.

Could there be a problem!

He is normally really hyper and darting across the flat all day!

I am guessing it is a hairball.

I just got a 6 week old kitten on Friday. It is 5:00 on Sunday morning and my vet does not open until tomorrow. She has been having really loose poops, so I've been wiping her off afterwards. I noticed this afternoon that there looked to be a little red on the toilet paper. So, I've been watching her and just a moment ago she went again and there was blood. She pooped normally, then looked as if she were pushing one last piece out and it was really dark. I went over to check and sure enough, it was blood. Here is every detail (minor or otherwise) I can think of. I'm definitely going to the vet, but any ideas beforehand?
*I have to add it to additional details because there isn't enough room left to write it here *

I have a 15 year old dog (part lab/shep) that has been going down hill. She has arthritis and her hearing is gone. But she was eating well. Tonight she started but softly - chewed at her feet. She had more trouble than usual getting up. I notice now under her left side of belly area appears swollen. It wasn't yesterday. I am out in the boonies with no vet accept an animal hospital that's very expensive. I have given her a tylenol which seemed to help. But I think it is time. She has a large pen - partially covered - soft area to lay. She has been my friend for 15 years. Any ideas on the swelling? Could it be from the heartworm she has. Vet said she had it two years ago - but to dangerous to deworm at her age then. Thank you.

I have a 75 gal tank with 7 african cichlids. I am wondering if thats enough or if it would be ok to add more. I am also wanting to redo my setup . I want to make a huge rock formation in the middle of the tank with tons of caves and decorate around that. is there any way to take rocks and permanently adhere them together to make one huge formation without hurting the fish? any advice is appreciated!

I thought my tank was clean. But, today I did a water change and I am using the Eheim Automatic Gravel Cleaner. I noticed that it pulled out a lot of waste from under the gravel. So, I measured the nitrate/ite and it was not good. It is about 1.0. Then, I noticed my betta has the looks of beginning tail rot. I was devestated because his tail is such a beautiful blue. So, I added AmnoLock to the water immediately and I will have to continue the water change tomorrow. So, what else can I do to remove that nitrate/ite in a hurry? And should I treat my fish for tail rot? He was treated last month and I treated him with Maracyn-two. I treated him because I had used the same utensils in his tank after my other fish had tail rot. So, it was just a precaution.

i just bought two beutiful angelfish (freshwater) yesterday, and today when i came home they were both belly up! my tank has cycled with 4 zebra danios for a month and are thriving, so the bio filter is well established...my only guess is that they came with a disease from the store, any suggestions?

p.s. i tested my water and my all my pH, NO3, NO2, GH, and KH levels are all perfect
