I bought 2 goldfish a week ago, and put them in my tank which I prepared 2 weeks before and treated with nutrafin cycle and aqua plus. Right from the start one of the fish just hovered round the bottom and didn't eat much, which I just thought was lazy! sadly I discovered this one died yesterday morning. the other fish started behaving in a 'quiet' similar way about 2 days ago, & yesterday I noticed he has sort of like a fluffy white coat on his body, & his fins look very small, or clamped I'm not sure which. he also has some browny patches/ sort of spots. & struggles to swim. I went to the pet shop and explained and they gave me Gold Disease safe which they thought was best, so i did a 50% water change and followed the instructions. it said nothing about the filter & I have left that on for 24 hours now since the medication and now I read online the filter should be off. He's just sitting at the bottom looking very poorly & I dont know what to do now. Water ok b4 treatment

My friend's dog is old and has a lot of problems. He's not going to be around much longer. Dogs are SO special... How can I help her? How can I comfort her when her friend is gone? What kind of things help YOU when your dog dies?

I happen to own five cats, and my youngest, Bit, is thought to be, perhaps, part bobcat by my vet. LESS than half, but, still...

He has this strange habit of Dragging the water-bowl into the middle of the kitchen floor, and splashing it everywhere. That, or he just leaves it there for me to trip over in the morning. Is this some sort of wild-cat Habit, or, do normal Housecats do this, as well?

If so, is there anything I can do to curb this Behavior of his?

What type of tortoise is this?

Do I need to change the shallow water in its tank daily? How should I care for a tortoise? I read that I have to soak it in water and give it green vege. Other tortoise care tips?

I have a memory of one day walking by a used bookstore, and seeing a HUGE white fluffy dog. It seemed bigger than a bear... like, much, much bigger. I remember noting that he was so big that he could barely find a comfortable position to lie down in although the bookstore was decently sized.

It was so big that when I saw it, I thought I couldn't possibly be seeing what I thought I was seeing... that maybe I was going crazy.

And now, haunted by this memory, I've been looking all over the internet to figure out what that dog was. It didn't look like these pictures of Mastiffs and St Bernards and Irish Wolfhounds that I'm seeing. It was fluffy, white, and had a friendly smiley kinda face. It looked very proportional... not strangely tall or skinny or fat anything.

Am I going crazy?? Does such a dog exist? What did I see???

Okay, so my family and I are going on a vacation at the end of July, and we have to leave our dog at home. We have food and water dispensers enough to last two weeks. Then thing is, it gets really hot where we live; 100+ weather... What can we do to keep him cool while we're gone? None of our neighbors can check on him; He's likely to try to bite them. I'm really worried about my doggie :(

I bought a female orange dwarf platy over 3 weeks ago. When I bought her she already had a gravis spot & a big belly. Is that just the way those fish are or is she pregnant?

My cat has what appears to be flea dirt on her chin. It looks like it, but it isn't flea dirt. According to my research it could be feline acne. I have cleaned the area and it keeps coming back. Like black scabs or something. Is there a way to be sure this is it short of going to a vet?

If it is feline acne, treatment ideas would be great as well. Any help appreciated.

I have a friend named Val Taylor. She has a female Beagle named Shiloh. My family and hers, pets included, went on a camping trip up north. We were visiting a neighbors house and they have a male English Bulldog. Well, we got back from camping and a few days later she took Shiloh to the vet for a check up only to find out she was pregnant. Val has no expierence with breeding dogs. She does not know how to go about this. Any POSITIVE advice would be greatly appreciated.

i decided that i would like more rats (not a hard choice!) instead of buying them in a pet store, or at a rattery, as there aren't any very close to me. i decided to check on craigslist. i made the mistake of finding this one woman who said that her rats were from a loving home and she didn't want to see them as snake food. i got there and the cage was filthy, the rats were hiding in there hammock which i didn't think anything of because it was in the early evening. i took them home, and there as wild as can be.... its clear to me they were never handled, and if they were with bad treatment. they're over a year and very dependant on each other. i tried trust training with good advice and from reputable help, but with no avail they are just as scared ad the day i brought them home. (6/12/07)
i have placed them in separate cages tonight and i'm going to re-start the trust training again.... does anyone have any suggestions about these poor girls?
i hope this is enough information.

Hi! I live in Maryland and I've been looking for somewhere to buy a kitten for a while. I'm definitely looking at the Howard County Animal Adoption center but the adoption fee is so expensive. I was actually looking for a free kitten or a cheap one since cats have so many kittens (mine have already had about 5 combined and we've given all the kittens away for free). Any ideas on where to look??
