I have always given my dogs bottled water because it is cold. Am I depriving them of some vitamins or minerals from tap water? Am I wasting my money?

I found a baby bird and I need to know how to fix its broken leg. It is about 7-10 days old and it is a starling. I cant bring it to a vet because I am 14 and my parents could care less about a bird. But I really care and I am trying to find a wildlife center within the next week that can give him a good environment. I have also been feeding it soggy puppy food. It seems healthy other that its posture.

Today I went back to my apartment on my lunch break and saw this older orange kitten come tearing out of an apartment like the devil himself was on his tail. I snagged him, only to find out, much to my disgust, that this poor cat was slicked down with something. The owner comes out, to get her cat, and when I asked what was all over the cat, she told me that she had slicked her cat down with vasiline because it gets rid of fleas.

I have never heard of this, and quite frankly, that sounds a little hinky.

Has anyone else heard of this?

She is about 35 pounds and is having abnormal liver test results. The vet is trying to determine what is wrong with her liver. I am curious about the cost before she has it done.

He is almost 3months old but he has a BAD biting problem. Today he bite my wrist so hard, I was bleeding. Most of the time he just hurts you nothing serious, but now he is biting people in the face and he is getting worse and worse(and yes I know he is teething). I give him chew toys and raw hides to chew on but nothing seems to work. Is there something or someway I could get him to stop?BTW he isnt aggressive its just when he gets around people and hands or feet or faces he bites .

Ok the aquarium i want to start will probably be in about a 15 gallon tank i think, maybe 20 ( later i would like to add fish ). what i want to put in it is about 6 neon tetras and 2 ghost shrimp. i kind of think it might be a little boring and needs a little more colorful fish, so any suggestion? i want just 1 fish that will do ok being the only species here of its kind and has alot of color. so how does the aquarium sound so far? also anyone with past or present experiences with these fish any specific decorations you noticed they like? ty :)

I spend a lot of time with my bird. She will get on my hand to eat a treat and she will get on my hand to play with a peice of jewelry. Other than that she wants nothing to do with me. I have had her for two months and still she shows no interest in me. It seems as though she trusts me or she wouldnt so eagerly get on me to get to what she wants, but its clear that she doesnt like me. I have tried taking her in the bathroom and finger training her. But that is so decieving because she doesnt want off my finger in there. In fact if I try to put her down she crawls up my arm. In the bathroom she lets me pet her and kiss her, but when she is in or near her cage she snaps at me when I try to touch her. What am I doing wrong? I really need advice, because I am so frustrated and depressed over this bird. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
