I believe my turtle is a western-painted turtle. I got it when it was very little. Now it has grown and has a sunken in shell. It's really noticable. The turtle does not use its back legs very much. It can't swim. There are no vets around me that can care for turtles. What do I do?

I have a male Siamese fighter fish (or at least I think it's a boy) and I've had him for about a year now. I've been feeding him 2 pellets per day (but sometimes I forget) of those Beta Bites because that's how much my mom said to feed it. But on the other hand, my friend has one too and he feeds his fish 2-4 per week, and he's had it for 4 years!! My fish is healthy and colourful (it's a deep blue and red) and it swims a lot and looks great, but I can't help wondering if I'm really feeding him the right amount!

Have been to 2 vets and cat was given steroid shot which helps and antibiotics. But 3-months later, rash is back. Vet said we cannot continuse steroid shots - too many in a year will hurt her or giver her diabetes. Antibiotics don't help. Because of rash she over grooms herself. Any suggestions?

I just seem to here about attacks all too often. I know the owners are sometime to blame but these dogs can just turn at the flick of a switch. I know all dogs are dangerous but the dangerous dogs register has a statistic that these dogs cause more fatalities and attack more than any other dog.

I'm asking this again in hopes of getting more responses
I will be picking up my Papillon puppy next week. He will be 8 weeks old. I'm a little worried about his ears. I have papers which state that he's a purebred, and I know that doesn't mean much but... he's also registered with the AKC. I've seen other papillons that they've bred and they are older but look perfect. I feel like his ears should be a little bigger than they are. His nose looks a bit wide as well (in the pics in the link don't mistake the white near his nose for his nose). Is this normal and will his ears grow as he gets older? He's pretty fuzzy which I like and he's very cute with good markings. His ears are really my only concern. He's only going to be a family pet but I want people to recognize him as a papillon. I already paid for him becuase the pictures of him t really little look very normal. The older picture is him at almost 7 week. (maybe 6 weeks and 5 days.)
