When do you know when your puppy is ready to start drinking regular drinking water? He spent 4 days at the vet on iv, and now he is at home and ive been force feeding him pedylite , he hates it . Hes also getting subcatanous fluids at the vet everyday , but still i need to supervise hes intake 24 hours a day. The other day while bathing him he started drinking the fossette water , only gave him a couple of licks . He wont drink pedyalite on hes own . Since i got him to eat small portions of food now , what can i give him to drink on hes own ? Is gatorade as good as pedyalite ? Is it safe to give him regular water , and also give him pedylite? ive tried mixing it but no luck . Ofcourse ill be monitoring all hes water intakes i dont want to over hydrate the poor little pup?

My friend has two cats and they just got a new puppy. The puppy has just been in their house for one day and the dog is LOADED with them! He can't go a minute with out scratching. When I was at her house, the carpet is COVERED in flees! It's VERY unhealthy. I told them to shampoo the carpet with flee powder or flee shampoo that you use on pets. She ignored me and just kept saying "There's no way I can kill them all!" I want her dog to live a heathly life! How can I get her to care about killing the flees?

Someone gave me a kitten on a short notice because they didn't want to leave it in the street so I took it in. I can't go out and get any food for it and I know it's hungry because it's nibbling things. So I was just wondering what kinds of everyday foods it can eat so I can at least settle it's stomach for a while.

Ok, I have 5 gallon salt water (I know small.. But my dad with money and pets.. DOn't mix), 2 small fishies.. (started with a T and they described it as small and beautiful fish), 1 starfish, 2 emerald crabs and some small snails. 2 Lbs of Live Rock and 5 lbs of Live Sand AragAlive! The filter is Whisper with a little bio filter bag stuffed in it. The people at the store told me to do it... o_o The Bio filter bag had little cylinder chaped what seems to have the texture of chalk. o_o.. Is it Over crowding? Do Invertebrates need alot of room? Is it too much.. Tell me what you think.. And sorry about the not definite about the fish and stuff. I like fish but I don't know nothing about them xD

okay, so somehow these strange molluscs got into my tank. They are tiny (not even 1/2 centimeter tall), freshwater molluscs, they have cone-shaped shells that look sort of soft, 2 antennae, they can move around (up and down walls too) at a speed of maybe 1 centimeter every 10-15 seconds. Can anyone tell me what these things are because they're multiplying like mad and I don't even know how they got there?!?
thanks!

I have found a orphined raccon as the result of a construction site. He is small maybe 2 lbs. I don't know how old he is. He is blind in one eye from some sort of trauma. I thought of making him a pet. Don't know how to have him vaccinated for rabies. Any advice would be helpful. Thanx

This has happened with every cat I've ever owned and I've always wondered why! My cats eyes get really big and black and dialated, her tails getts puffy and she starts running around the house either like she's chasing something, or like something is chasing her but there's nothing there! It's like she sees a ghost or something! What is that all about and why do cats do it???

Hey my turtle has been shedding for about a week and about three or so days ago it seemed that he stopped, but now he has started again. His shell is generally a dark green, but after a scute or two fell off he has a more vibrant olive color with a pattern on it. I'm not sure if he is sick or anything. He also has been bitting at his feet and sleeping in weird positions. Any comments? What are any causes/ remedies?

It's been 3 years since the day my sister bought her turtle, " Bob", and we've noticed that the turtle has not had any sort of growth in size. Though Bob is completely healthy, we've begun to worry about his condition. The day my sister bought her turtle, he was about 2inch ish, less than 3 inches. But its been 3 years since that day, and hes still less than 3inches. We have expected him to at least grown maybe more than an inch, maybe one per year, but we're not really sure what the growing rate of " red ear slider's" are.

Please contribute if you have any info regarding this.
Thanks much ;]

I've been crate training my 8 month old yorkie/westie mix and she'd been doing perfect until a few weeks ago when my cousin "forgot" to let her out to pee. Now, she keeps on peeing in her crate even if i only keep her there just to run to the store! Someone please help, as I bought the crate so I wouldn't have to clean anything up anymore... and now it's pointless!

I went in a fish store today just to look around and I saw a Dory fish (the blue one in Finding Nemo). It was the most beautiful fish I think I have ever seen in my life and I just fell in love with it. What is it called?

Also, I may want to purchase one (a long time from now). I have heard saltwater aquariums are a pain in the butt. Is this true? How much work and money is involved? This fish was so gorgeous and I would like to own one someday.
