Pets - 5 July 2007

Ok, i started a 10 gallon aquarium and added a few live plants and fish. Well a few days later i started spotting small snails (2-3) crawling around. I knew they must have been in with the plants, and didn't mind. WELL. Now i have about 65 snails! And to make matters worse, i can see the egg sacs they leave all in the leaves of my live plants....i don't want to kill them, but they have taken over my aquarium! What should i do?

We recently got another maltese in addition to the two dogs we already have. He wasn't neutered and neither was our female chihuahua so we kept preventing anything from going on but today they escaped the gate thing we put up to prevent them from going anywhere together. And they got stuck.
So now my chihuahua is gonna be pregnant?
Does pregnancy come everytime after mating for a dog?
She's 4 years old and I want to know if it's safe for her.
And we didn't want puppies because a maltese and chihuahua mix wasn't so cute and we didnt want to keep all of the puppies since we already have three dogs.

I'm very worried.

We have a 3 1/2 month old Kuvasz puppy(large breed). She has been sick all day and hasnt slept since yesterday afternoon. We took her to the Vet today and they said its probably joint pains caused from her growing. They gave her an anti-inflammatory pill but it hasnt kicked in yet and she seems to be in a lot of pain and really tired. Is there anyone that might know what else we can do for her. I called the vet again a couple hours after we got home and they just said to bring her in tomorrow if it continues. I hate to see her like this. Can anyone help?

Does anyone know how to get rid of fleas on a dog? We've tried everything: washing her in dawn, rubbing flea medicine on her, a flea collar, washing her in flea shampoo. None of it seems to work.
We live in an apartment and have to take her out to use the restroom, so that's where she's getting them from. But, we have no alternative to that. They are also getting into our home. Any way to prevent or even treat that??
Please help!

I have a 3 gallon tank with 2 platies in it now. Before when I have had 3 fish in the tan one or two has died. I was wondering if putting an ammonia reducing tab in the tank would allow 3 fish to live in there.

Ok I just got a new Chihuahua puppy yesterday. He is 8 weeks old and the runt of the litter. The person I got him from said that he was a mommas boy and always by her side. He would play for a little while with his bros/sis's but then went to be by mom. I have had him for about 24hrs now and in that time, he eats but not alot, he drinks but VERY little he pees everytime he comes out of his crate and has pooped once this morning. He has come out to play a few times today for about 15-20 mins at a time, but the rest of the time he sleeps in his crate. Is this normal?

I'm confused about my two dogs. You see, I'm afraid the second one's already attatched to me even if I've had her only for a day. Our current dog is quiet and I like it that way. But since we've gotten the new dog the old one is playful to the point of being annoying.

I think animals have feelings and I don't want the new one's feelings to be hurt since this is a trial run and we could give her back any time.

I'm beginning to become obsessed. I have two questions that need answering.
1. Do you think being this playful will wear off over time? (My first dog wants to play with my second dog ALL THE TIME)
2. How do you get rid of obsession?

I bought a leopard gecko on july 4th and i have had it for a day
it walks aroung during the day time
shouldn't it be sleeping?
Also it never goes into the humid hide place.
it is 4-5 inches including the tail
it lives on calcium sand and it only eats from my hand
if i mist the tank will the sand create bacteria or something?

and my bearded dragon hates waxworms is there any way i can make my beardie eat them?

I just purchased a Green Iguana. She is tiny right now and I have her in a 20 gallon. I realize it is too small but I wanted to do some research before purchasing something larger next week. The people at the pet store are clueless so I was wondering what to house it in. I know they like to climb and I have seen those giant terrariums that are tall rather than long and have trees and stairs, I just wasn't sure if that was right or if I should just use a 55 gallon for a while. I just don't want to spend $200 on a tank if in 6 months I will need to purchase something larger. How fast do they grow and would it be worth buying a 55 gallon now and a custom or larger one later or should I just go for the giant one right away?
