I've heard that there's a new less-invasive way to spay cats via laser surgery. Has anyone done this and have more information on it? Any vet recommendations, prices, pros/cons?

Okay so I saw a RedBull comercial today.
A short floppy eared hound walks by a great dane.
Little hearts shoot out of their eyes.

But the short dog [the male] surveys the Dane and realizes...it wont work out...so he grabs a redbull and tada...wings.
[later shows little dane/hound puppy]

My question is, through artificial ensemination could a chiwawa and newfoundland [or any small/big combo] have babys?

I guess I dont understand how one species of animal can be so diverse, yet still...erm...mix

Is it true that if your betta fish doesnt eat its food and it just sits in the water then it will posion the water? Someone told me that and I wasnt sure if it was true. Also, my betta fish has been alive for almost 2 years now. My cousins had betta fish and both of the fish died within 3 months. What is the normal life span of a betta fish? Oh, and one more thing. My dad said that this normal but I just wanted to check. When I cleaned my betta fish's water, it was red. (He's red) Is that normal? Thanks for all of your help.

Is this normal? When my dog was a puppy, she reccomended that we mixed her dry dog food with water. We did and she ate it day after day. Now she's 7 years old and shes still eating that gross, mushy food. Her vet hasnt mentioned the food yet. Is this normal that she's still eating this food? Should we ask her vet? Or should we just switch her? Thanks.

My one year old cat Mauli has been acting sickly lately (about 2 days.) Her voice is kind of raspy and she seems to be having a difficult time swallowing. Mauli is an inside cat only.
I did get a kitten about a month ago who is now roughly 2.5 months old, but she doesn't seem ill at all.
Is there any possible explanation for this that does NOT involve me taking her to the vet? Are these symptoms of something serious?

I found a dog (He looks like a maltese/yorkie) in my neighborhood about 4 days ago and after posting flyers everywhere and asking every single person who the dog belonged to and not finding an owner, we decided to keep him.By looking at his white teeth, we guess he's about 6 months old.

When we first got him, he was covered in fleas. So we bought him a flea shampoo, flea collar, hair brush, tear stain remover, ect. While I gave him a bath, I noticed a half opened scab. When I finished removing it I noticed a flea had been under the scab. I took the flea out with a tweezer and killed it. Then, after I finished bathing him, I dried him and noticed he had many scabs on his skin. I know I shouldn't have but I peeled one off thinking maybe another flea would be inside, but there was nothing and the scab ripped off with a couple strands of hair.

I'm very worried, because he also has these scabs under his ears.

My cat has been having diarrhea for a few days and this afternoon he went in my closet instead of his cat box, and when I was cleaning it up I noticed that there was some blood in it.
So what could be the cause of the blood in his stools?
He has an appointment with the Vet tomorrow
Since I brought him home almost a year ago he has had this on and off.
but I just want to know what could make him have blood in his stools!
What kind of tests should I ask the Vet to do and about how much do they cost?

My neighbor has 7 or 8 dogs in the backyard of a tiny urban rowhouse. They bark at all hours of the day and night. Their excrement is covering the concrete in the backyard and is a health hazard as flies are now rampant. I've spoken with my landlord several times, and she's talked with the dog owner. There is still no resolution. What steps should I take next to either get the dog owner to properly care for these animals or have them taken away?

I have a red eared slider and recently his shoulder has swolen up and he isn't using his arm to swim. The swelling doesn't seem to be getting any larger but over time I have grown very concerned about it. Should I be worried? What could be wrong with him? What should I do about it?

Thank you all who reply to this. All the help is greatly appreciated.

hey, my dog, Ruby, is a 1 year 2 month year old Golden Retriever. She gets very excited when people come to our house, jumping and barking and stuff like that. Usually it gets to be that she has to be put in her kennel because she scares the little kids, sometimes knocking them over. We don't know what to do about it, please, anyone, give me some advice! And DON'T suggest getting rid of her, we won't do that. Just some real ways that work! thank you!
