My dog is simply wonderful! She is amazing to watch outside as she is fast and herds anything she can find. She is also highly intelligent and has an amazing sense of smell. Unfortunately, she has killed 2 rabbits, 2 squirrels and 1 rat in the past 2 days. I understand the breed and their need for activity and stimulation. What can I do to keep her busy while I am gone? I leave treats and chew toys, but it doesn't last all day. I am not able to come home during the day to play with her over lunch. What would be a good companion? If given nothing to "work on", she climbs over the fence and runs off or destroys anything she can find. I play with her when I get home, but I worry about her all day. So, companion? Toy that would serve as an enrichment activity? HELP ME and Bentley! :) (I'd buy a few cows if I could!)

he can jump over the 51/2 feet tall gate from the two car garage and the 2nd garage, then it happens mostly when i go camping for the weekend and we leave them at home lots of food plenty of water and the back garage is open so they can run around, but he starts acting all weird when i go to bed and it is like 11 ish ( 11:00pm) my dog jumped over the gate, and now hes scratching at the window on the patio, and he broke the window screen 5 or 6 times already, and he doesnt listen when i say " bently come here" or when we let them out of the back yard and when i call for them to get back inside the back yard they never listen ( i have 2 dogs) what should i do!!!!!!!

Hello.. My 3 month Maltese is coughing like something is stuck in his throat.. He's been vaccinated and today I got the antibiotic for him.. He started to vomit too. The vet told me that he'll be okay but I'm very concerned. It gets worse in the night.. They told me to change the food and feed him real baby food like Gerber.. Is it okay for my puppy? and which are the best for Maltese? PLEASE HELP ME!! Even my vet seems they really don't care..

I'll answer this myself later....
But what about you?
-are you often screaming and clawing to get out from under your needy and loving animal(s)?

-do you get plenty but not too much attention from your feline?

-does the amount of affection equal the amount of food given?

-do you feel like you're often sucking up to your kitty just to get it to rub against your leg?

-does "lovey-dovey" and "cat" sound like they don't belong in the same sentence?

-or does your cat act like it might get a disease from you and would only approach with small kitty gloves, and definitely only to make sure you weren't dead?

I'm not stupid, so if your anwer is "take her to a vet" don't bother answering, I know that I can do that. Without spending money on a vet, I'd like to know if anyone has an idea why my cat would have a few spots on her by her tummy that are thinning hair that have been there several months and seem to slowly get larger. She doesn't itch them at all and there don't seem to be any bugs or scabs. She is flea free (I use revolution). The spots aren't where the revolution is adminstered, so I boubt that would be the problem. She doesn't smell, seems to be fine as far as health. No idea what it could be.

Our miniature poodle lost a dewnail on her right front paw. With NSAID's, she's mostly recovered and only limps slightly. This happened about a month ago, and we see no sign of the nail growing back (although it might have started to, and we haven't noticed).

Have you ever noticed that dogs love to rip apart dog toys to get to the squeeker, then they puncture the squeeker, and then they lose interest in the toy. Is there something about the pitch of the squeeker that hurts there ears or something?

I have worked with stallions for a number of years and I absolutely love them. I currently transported a colt (11mo) to a nearby stable, but have been hearing from a lot of people about how dangerous it is to have a stallion. I don't plan on breeding him, I plan on teaching him to dance (piaffe, etc.). He is Azteca. Anyways, any of you out there dealt with stallions without rediculously thinking they are crazy and dangerous? Any good experiences? The stallions I have worked with were so well trained that they could be placed next to a mare in heat and still not react. They all made excellent riding horses.

My dog has a very sensitive stomache and I don't know what to feed her. If I give her canned food then she throws it up. If I give her dry food she won't eat it. She just sniffs it and go away. It's never touched.

Some people say to try the science diet? Can somebody explain to me what it is and how it helps?

I have 16 stray/feral cats living in my backyard. They mated a while ago; the kittens are adorable. Yesterday my dad annouced that we either have to (gulp) kill them or catch them and give them to a pound...who will then kill them. I need an alternative (besides keeping them) that will save these cats' lives! Please hurry, I really am on a timed schedule.

There is this cat in my condo complex that just sits by peoples doors wanting to get in. However, no one in our complex owns it. I think some lady that moved out use to feed some neighborhood cats. It's friendly, and it's sad to see him around. Should I take him to the SPCA? Or, will they kill it if not adopted? Please help.

We came home and my cat had a big patch of bald skin where she had torn out her fur around a little hole. We thought she'd been shot with a pellet gun, but then my sister tried to get it out with tweezers and saw a bug in there! She thinks she squished it with the tweezers, but i want to know what it was!
