We just had a small flash flood and my rabbit was up to his paws in water before I got to him. I dried him off gave him fresh water, food, and hay and made sure his hutch was dry. Is there anything else I should have done? Are there any sicknesses or dieases I need to worry about because he got wet? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

We bought him today seems to be active and doing good. My question is I have a light bulb thats 100 watts.........Right on the screen lid of a 10 Gal tank. Its in one corner and there is a log he can hide under or on top of in that corner. Is this to much heat for him? It says the humidity in the tank is at 20% and the temp is 80! Are we doing the right thing?

I got a one yr. old tabby female from the SPCA a few months ago. Took her to the vet for a checkup. She has very foul breath and also a horrible smell in her infected ear. The vet told me to get lysine for the ginigivitis...(he didn't mention cleaning). Also, he said I could give her antibiotics if the ear was bothering her. He thought the ear problem could be an infection or a polyp. She seems perfectly healthy otherwise. She doesn't seem to have ear pain...but the odor is awful. Also, I have been doing the lysine but have not noticed a difference. My vet didn't seem too concerned about this. What should be done for her? She's a young cat now..but it could get worse as she ages. I feed her only dry food and sometimes tuna juice when we open a can. She also sometimes scoots across the rug. Should I get her worm treatment? How do you know whether it's worms or just anal glands? Thanks for your help...I have had other cats, but this is the first one I've had with these problems. Thanks!

How important are those white Bio-Fiber pads that come with some of those hangin' filters. Mine is pretty dirty and I can't get it any cleaner. I have also looked at stores but haven't seen any replacements without buying a whole new filter.

I had asked for help last week with my 4 month old puggle puppy -thank you for all that answered. However I left out that I already keep her caged and a close eye on her, she goes outside but continues to go in the house - she knows it is wrong because she hides when she has done it. How can we get her to stop going in the house. She is not even making any attempt to go to the door to go out. We take her out after she plays, when we get her out from her cage, after naps and stuff, she goes outside , but then 10 min. later she is going in the house! She is driving me nuts ! Thanks for any suggestions.....

Has anybody ever had their dog's tear ducts drained? I have a pom pup who tears frequently (which causes staining) and my vet suggested trying to drain the ducts because they might be plugged. It seems like a rather simple and cheap procedure, what do you think?

they look like little black dots, and at first when i started seeing it, i checked it out and they pop out kinda like a splinter in your hand would. i know this is a weird question. but if anyone knows please let me know. i keep forgetting to ask my vet what it's from. but he's never said anything bad about it before, so i know it's not harmful.

going blind. She has been such a great dog, never sick and always happy. I cant stand to see her like this. I love her so much and am completely heartbroken. Everything she does or eats today is her last time doing it. Has anyone ever had to put a dog down? What is the procedure I can expect? How do you walk away and drive home? That is going to be so rough. Any advice or comments to help me through this would really be appreciated

He is well fed but, when we let him out in the back yard he eats dog poop. When he goes for walks if he finds poop he eats it. We love him but cannot stand his breath. His brother Brandon is more discrete --- doesn't eat poop atleast not as much as Joel. What up Dog people????

I just added a new angelfish to my aquarium and it is already doing head stands and appears to be gasping for air at the surface,though angelfish are not anabantids. My water parameters are as follows:
Ph~6.5
nitrate ~10 ppm
nitrite ~0 ppm
ammonia~ 0.1ppm
Total hardness~ 120 ppm
Alkalinity ~ 40 ppm

the other fish ( 2 silver hatchetfish, 1 khulii loach) and 2 crabs , noumerous snails and a few glass shimp are doing fine. It is a 10 US Gallon well-planted tank. anything else I missed?

well if you could help me with my angelfish I would be most grateful.

thank you in advance, Czar.

I had the fish tank and the filter and a rock. So i put it all together and went to buy some fish. Two small gold fish and two small weird black ones with big heads. So i put the fish. My filter is like a waterfall, the water falls down in the tank and bubbles are made, did i put the filter right? Also the lady in walmart she saw me with the fish and i ask her what food i should buy and when i should feed them, and she said to buy the "Wardley Essentials Goldfish Flakes" and she said to feed them two times a day. Did she gave me the right info? How often should i feed them and what if she was wrong. Where can i buy rocks and sand for the fish, i want to decorated. If there something else i should know please tell me, if you know of a site for newbies with fish please posted thanks.

in the past two weeks two of my young cats have had a parasite and i want to know what this thing is. I was lucky enough to remove the things myself but i need to know what they are.

The parasites in question are short fat worm things and they burrow under the skin making a large hole in the skin. I was able to nudge them both far enough out of the hole to grab them with one of my husbands computer tools that i push and three prongs come out to grab things. I put antiseptics on the wounds to fight infection but i'd like to know what these parasites are to do more research on them

Also while i'm at it what does it take to become a veterinary assistant and maybe eventually a vet. After dealing with these problems and having to keep these cats calm i'm seriously considering a career in veterinary care.
