I live on a farm and just starting to get barn animals. I'm starting out with two four month old miniature horses. I'm getting them in September. Thoes are going to be the only animals in the barn besides two pet rabbits so far. Because I am surrounded by woods, there are A LOT of cayotes and raccoons! I am going to buy a dog to live in the barn with the other animals to protect and scare away any threats. I was thinking about getting a Cannan dog because he is a good size and his coat can warm him in the cold winter! Any suggestins? I need a well sized dog that is good with other small ang large animals but is still friendly to humans! I wasn't really thinking of an austrailian shepherd or a collie because they herd too much and will scare the small horses! Can anyone help???

My boyfriends kitten is about ten weeks old and has not gone to the vet for an overall evaluation of the kittens health. Is it necessary for a kitten to go to the vet while he is still very young?

My boyfriend and I are trying to decide if we should get our year-old border collie neutered. he has exhibited some aggressive behavior at the dog park, unlike our german shorthaired pointer, who is fixed, who is the most gentle dog in the world. I've heard neutering helps with aggressiveness. On the other hand, my boyfriend is afraid it is unethical to neuter him because he "doesn't have a choice," and it will "change his personality." Can someone please tell us some of the pros and cons of neutering? Thank you.

I used to like pets, dont have any now though, and i lost the reasoning behind peoples motives to possess animals. Im not with peta or any other scary organization but i kinda feel that animals should be allowed to live in freedom, for all the good pet owners out there, youve got guys like michael vick and other dogfighting football players and those who treat their animals even worse, i think itd be better to just make owning animals illegal, but i guess thats not realistic,

before I hear from the "spay and neuter" police, both dogs have already had genetic tests, vet checked, they are both healthy, and we already have buyers for the pups, if we ever get them. So, please don't lecture me on breeding. Serious answers would greatly be appreciated. My female is in the 12 day of her heat, when the male is around, he is sniffing her behind, she is flagging her tail and standing, but he cannot seem to mount her and penetrate. The owner picked him up this morning and is bringing him back Thursday because all the fireworks are scaring them. My question is, is it normal for it to take so many tries from the male? I am worried that my female is too small, but the vet said she would be ok with him, she is 11 and half lbs and he is about18 lbs. Is he too big? The owner of the male seemed a little frustrated this morning, she expected him to have done his business and doesn't understand why he is having problems, as he is a proven stud. Does anyone have any advise?

I've had several short-haired cats, and had Sammie, my long-haired cat only a few years. Mostly she is clean and well-groomed, with a little help from me. But we moved from Arizona to Minnesota a couple years ago, and sometimes her winter coat and shedding get to be too much for me to handle. So I finally discovered the joy of taking her to the groomer's - Sammie loves getting brushed, but without help holding her, it is hard to brush all of her tummy. And then I realized I could make life even easier for myself and Sammie by having the groomer trim the long hair around her tush, to help her stay clean and make less mess. I'm sure many long-haired cat-owners know what I mean.

My groomer has up to a 3 week lead time on making appointments, so now that it has been a couple weeks since she got a trim, can anyone clue me in to how soon we will want to go back? I don't want to wait to see how long it takes for the hair to grow back enough to get messy, and then try to make an appt.

I have a new cat that's about a year old. To this point he has been an indoor cat, due to living in an upstairs apartment. He has now been here in my house 2 days. He is neutered and has all claws. He is a siamese mix.

I'm new to aquarism and i know it's important to be patient when adding fish and plants. I've had a 55 gallon aquarium running for 3 weeks now. I started with a rock, driftwood, 5 fake plants, 2 red platys, 2 scissortails, and 6 black neon tetras. I lost 5 of the original 6 black neon tetras as well as one of the red platys. I replaced some of the black neons and I now have 2 scissortails, 5 black neons, 1 red platy, and 2 corys in the tank and it's been over a week since i've lost a fish (knock on wood). The ammonia level appears really low when I test so I was wondering when it'd be appropriate to start adding more fish and maybe some real plants. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

You have all heard someone say, "We should breed for the betterment of the breed." Now how do you measure your success in this? Here is another ?. For you who have bred 8, 9, 10, or more generations are your last generations better then say your third?

Maybe this is a dumb ?, but I would like to hear some thing on this. Thanks

A little while ago, I adopted a kitten who was 4 months old. She's now almost a year old and is spayed. When we adopted her from the shelter, she was using the litterbox and seemed to be litterbox trained since she used it when we brought her home. Now, though, she decides to use the bathroom wherever she likes (behind the TV, behind our washer, and in front of doors- yuck!). What causes my kitty who knows fully well how to use the litterbox (which she does do, about half the time) to do her business elsewhere? Is this a symptom of an illness or should I take her to the vet? And if there are any ways to stop this that you're aware of, please let me know.

Hi there all - this morning I came across a starving pit bull puppy (you can see all of her ribs). I talked to the owners and they said they would like for me to take her - which I did. She needs medical care for open sores etc. I would have taken her to the humane society but shelters in this area have a strict "kill" policy when it comes to pit bulls. So thats not an option.

Can any of you guys help me find a pit bull rescue group in the 248/734 or 313 area codes? I've been looking and not having any luck. I know there are a bunch of animal lovers on here so I thought I would give it a try.

Thanks

I have a 4 month old, vet guessed age because the puppy was found at the side of a road, and she is afraid of steps. We have 2 steps to go outside. She will go up and down those. She will not even try the staircase. It looks like she doesn't know what to do with her back feet. She will lift one leg up and keep it up. Should I train her to go up and down the stairs or just let it go?She is a border collie/black lab mix.
