O.K. so I got a 3 year old cat, and he is very laid back, when my other two (both are 5 years old) cats hiss at him, he doesn't really care. My other two cats however REFUSE to get along with him, and I'm at a loss, I want to be able to have both of their food dishes in the same room, but my first two cats won't even tolerate him, I NEED HELP!! How do I get them to like the new cat??

We had an unused room so we let the rabbit have the whole room. One day we decided to clean it up and put the rabbit into it's cage. Now it bites and slaps me when I go near it. I've been trying to play with it but he just runs away. How do I regain his trust?

I have an aquarium which I have had for about 3 years. The hood and the filter pump are both made of a heavy black plastic material. It has gotten to the point where I cannot get the white residue caused the water off certain parts of the outside of the hood and pump no matter how hard I scrub or what cleaner I use........any suggestions? I have checked around and cannot find a store which will sell me only a new hood and I have already replaced the pump once.

Do you agree with mandatory spay and neuter laws for all pets? Do you think that four months is the appropriate age to have a spay or neuter performed on your pet? Do you think you can chose a puppy/dog that will be a good show or work prospect by sixteen weeks? If NO is your answer to these questions then please vote against this bill.

the hamsters i got were free i dont exactly want to spend a grip of money to have the vet tell me he is bleeding internally and that there is nothing i can do. i have seperated them so i guess now im just waiting it out. i mean he is a hamster and vets are damn expensive.

I bought my mother and myself a rabbit . The best store told me that they were both girls. So on my visit to my mother's we had them both in the playpen area to run around and we went outside to B-B-Q, we came back to find them mating. Well I thought maybe it didnt take because she didnt seem bigger. But it did. I woke up this morning to 6 babies, 1 dead. I took the dead one out. My question is that the cage she had was very small, too small because she was stepping on the babies every time she moved and they were squeeling and crying. 2 of them even have marks from her paws and nails stepping on them. So i went to the pet store and bought a much larger cage and some bedding, because she had nothing to make a nest out of either. I washed my hands well and rubbed my hands all in her fur, and kept what little hair she pulled out and placed them in this cage. Was that wrong? Should I place her back? What can I do to help this litter survive and the changes in cage and etc? Please help!

My dog has allergies to I don't know what but I read somewhere that plain yogurt helps.

I KNOW ITS NOT FLEAS cause I would be able to see them on my dog since he is peanut butter color.

ill probably get someone to feed my fish, but if i was to use the vacation feeder the instructions say that i should add a "block"
and in the description of the product on the back says : " Nutritious feeder block for tropical freshwater fish"

so is this circle molded food one block?

i have two gold barbs, a bloodfin tetra and two clown loaches
im afraid that theyll over eat

So I found this baby raccoon. He looked so weak and hurt. My guess, he fell from a tree. So My family took him in. His left wrist is smolen and he has a gash on his head. The worst of i all is he is so limp, when you pick him up he feels so lifeless. my all of his legs and stuff work. He breathes slow. He can't walk, maybe he needs more time. We have been giving him fluids. Like water and petAlyt. We even gave him sofened cat food diped in jelly. That's his favorite. But I'm worried on what too do. Did I mention, my parents gave him a kitten formula. I don't think they should have done that. I'm worried it's going to make his body shut down. I need answers on what too do. I'm worried about him. He needs to live. So please tell me anything you know that may help. It is soo needed right now. He's in gods hands yes, but I want him to live more. I pray for him all the time. Weve had him for almost a week. Should he have more time also to get better? Just please leave information. Thanks.

Yesterday, I put about 10ml water clarifier, and the other day, I put about the same doze. Also, I put some artificial gravel (white)as a sort of decoration. I rinse the gravel before I put them inside the aquarium. When I examine the dead fish, it has some whitish matter on its fins. Are these fungus or bacteria? I also notice that one of my kois had that same whitish thing on its fins. So, what I did was to separate my kois from the rest of the fishes cause I don't want to contaminate the other fishes. The rest of my fishes (black moor, black molly) seemed to be fine. Can anyone help me what's going on?

I have a 24 year old morab and when I ride her she is always tripping. She has been shod lately and there is nothing health wise wrong with her. So I am starting to get worried, I realize that if the rider is not balanced the horse can trip, but according to our trainer we are balanced. She seems to do it more when we are going at a walk then when we are at any other speed. So I was wondering if it could be because she doesn't pay as much attention to where she is going at a walk?
Any help would be appreciated.
