I put all 10 in at once and he chaces them around eating one every now and then. In about 24-30 hours there all gone.

How many guppys and/or ghost shrimp = 1 feeding time?

He was just a little over a year old, and was a pekenise , shitzu,and pomi. The main bone that connects the pelvis bone and back was gone smashed. He was able to eat and drink a little still and looked ok, as long as he didnt move and stayed on the one side. He would try to move but would yelp real loud cause of the pain. But the vet said that it would cost 5000 or more of surgery to fix it and thats even if they could repair the one bone thats gone, which I can't seem to afford. Did I give up to easily?

I have a female rabbit and I've taken her to the vet for this probelm but it is still happening.

The problem is, is that when she poops sometimes in clumps together and sometimes sticks to her butt area and i have to clean it..sometimes it's clumped together in her cage and i clean that up to so it doesn't stick to her. It's mainly pellets or poop but some of it is mushy. When I took her to the vet the vet told me to give her more Timothy hay and feed her only that and pellets. So thats' what I've been doing for almost a month now and nothing has changed. It's got a little better but not fully cured. The vet also did a stool sample and everything else was fine. What should I do? Do some rabbits have these problems? Thanks

My dog was in heat the week of April 12. We kept her and our male apart, but once they were together. We didn't think she was pregnant, but a few weeks ago she started lactating and having clear milky vaginal discharge. She hasn't had any puppies, but sometimes it feels as if there might be a puppy inside her. I know if she was pregnant she would have delivered a few days after she began lactating. I think it might be a pseudo or phantom pregnancy, but lately her nipples have began to lactate a milky red color until tonight her nipples are lactating blood. It isn't milky anymore it is really red blood. Can dogs lactate blood with a phantom pregnancy or is there another more serious problem? I can't find anything online and I'm very concerned. Please help with any information possible. Thank you.

I know that cats cannot have milk with lactose in it because it's not good for their digestive system but if I gave my cat lactose free milk, would that be as bad?

I used little rocks as substrate for my small tank, and everytime i feed my fish some of the flakes get lodged in the bottom in between the rocks. I use a siphon to clean what i can but there are some that get left behind.

I heard that it was not a good idea to move the rocks around, is that true?

Also, i am thinking about changing the substrate with sand. How should I go about doing this?

My black lab of 8 years died suddenly in the middle of the night. At about midnight she was breathing heavily, shaking, and looked as if she had seen a ghost. By 5 in the morning she was dead. I was wondering how long to wait to get a new dog. Is there precautions for the new puppy I should take, or was it just something wrong with the previous dog? She was fine the whole day. We do not have any rat poisons either, and our yard is secure. I want to get a puppy as soon as possible. Can I? I'm over the grieving part. If it is unsure. When is the soonest possible time to get one?

I have a 10 gallon tank with 4 guppies. 2 female and 2 male. I'm hoping the females will have babies.

What are some low cost, hardy, water plants that will provide a place for guppy fry to hide? It would be great if they didn't require too much light. I recently got a Java Fern for my tank but it's leaves constantly fell off which created waste.

I got a Yorkie for my birthday from my husband last year and then found out I'm pregnant. Of course, our intention was to make her an inside dog but... she is not fairing well in the house and is just so hyper. We have sent her to a three week intense (and expensive!) dog training school as well as working with her ourselves. We still have issues with biting, barking, chewing, and most of all, housebreaking her. We have honestly really tried. She's ten months old now and I'm due in 2 months. I'm very weary of having a newborn around her and fear the worst. We love her dearly and don't want to get rid of her. As a last resort, we are considering making her an outside dog. We have a large fenced yard that she enjoys when she is allowed to run around freely. Is this is ok? She doesn't seem to mind being outside and loves the walks we take her on. She loves to run the backyard right now when we let her. We have a covered back porch for shelter. Does this sound ok?

Hi well I am doing research on raceing greyhounds because if they dont run fast enough they are either beaten, hung from a tree,shot,left at a labratory which cut off their heads, At the end of each race there is a vet waiting to kill them and thrown on a kill truck. And are thrown in empty feilds and they all live in a box sometime4s only let out to race. The poor dogs are constantly muzzeld also are starved to death or fed 4-d meat which is scraps from rendering plants which willm kill the dogs eventualy if you would like to see the pics of what happends to these dogs go to www.greyhounds.org then click on what racing tracks dont want you to know then scrool down to what says the proof is in the pichures please checki this out and please help by donateing and spreading the word

i'm a new male maltese puppy owner. It has been diarrhea for 2 days since it came home with me 3 days ago. and it rarely barks unlike other maltese puppies. it only has a small soft baby's barking when it first saw u in the morning. it's not very active either. after a while walking around the house, it'd sleeps through the afternoon. at night, we put it in its cage,it's no rejective either,it'd just quietly resting on it's mat in the cage.
is it normal? or is it retard? i am worried!

our dog was pretty calm not running around and was sitting in the room while we watched t.v. She jumped up started to run but kept falling to one side it think maybe her left side. My dad took her in the other room and sat her back down and she was fine but breathing hard. What could it have been?

So... I haven't added ANY new rocks, plants, live food (such as ghost shrimp or feeder guppies),or even fish since last October. The ONLY thing that has EVER been different but yet consistant is the food that we DO feed them. Some sort of flakes recommended by the petstore for MOST of our fish... and green algie chips for that jurassic sucker fish. I think the snails may have come from those chips.... My fiancee STILL thinks I'm nuts.

What do you think NOW?
