I know it's due to old age, but is there any thing that you can give them to prevent it? (We have a 10 yr. old rabbit, and her eyes are starting to cloud up.) Help?

It's a cute amphibian, that has stuffed cheeks, small limbs. Some people keep it as a pet, if not mistaken, it develops lungs when it comes out of water.

I gave a bath to my 2 month old kitten with flea removal shampoo but there are still fleas felt. So I went to the store to get a flea collar but all the fleas have moved to the facial area. How can I get rid (EXTERMINATE!!) of the fleas?

My boyfriend and I adopted a red bordie collie from a rescue place four months ago. I had a border collie before, so I knew what to expect as for level of exercise and stimulation. But what surprises me is his inability to be left alone in the house. He tears things up when we leave, and as a consequence, someone always has to be home with him. We love him to death and will not give him away, but sometimes, he drives us crazy.

I live in a 1 basement 2 bath 4 bedroom home, the inside is very big, we live a block from a very large dog park but we have a very small un-fensed yard (we are planning to put a bamboo fence in) , we can build a kennel though, We are free almost every weekend, but on the weekdays i have to go to school (not on summer) and both my parents and my sister are at work, my other sister is helping my aunt (other) with my grandma, my other aunt that lives with us is 80 some years old and is in no mood to deal with a dog.

I have all the time in the world to spend with my dog when i get home, and we have 4 cats he could hopefully become friends with, soo what do you say.... can you help me?

(if it helps i live in Oregon)

Okay, my rat (Sugar) is 4 years old, and going on five. I know she is getting old, and she won't eat out of out hands anymore, she sleeps most of the day, and she is getting REALLY skinny. When I pick her up I can feel her ribs. I've been feeding her everyday etc. Is this a sign that she may be dying?

Okay. I am thinking about getting 2 guinea pigs ( a long hair and a short haired). I wasn't sure if I should get 2 females or 2 males? Which ones are more friendly? Which gender seems to be more relaxed?

My house was burglarized recently. Having a dog for protection & companion would be helpful. I am single, 40's w/ 2 indoor cats. I have a fenced yard & 1400 sq.' house. I would enjoy taking a dog on walks, hikes, frisbee, etc. She has to get along w/ cats and visiting guests, but still be protective of property & me. I like calm dogs and want a dog that barks when there is a threat, not all the time. I prefer the appearance of big, long haired dogs, but is my house & yard big enough? I live in a hot climate, but may move to a cooler place in the next year or so, so breeds like St. Bernard's may be miserable here in the heat, is that right? I don't know much about dogs, so need suggestions. I like collies, shelties, aussies, golden retrivers. I don't like dogs that need special grooming like poodles. My cats are very happy & healthy here, and I would make sure the same is true for the dog that joins our family. Any suggestions?

I'm thinking of getting a corn snake and saw a premade snake starter kit at the store. It has 2 lamps,water bowl, temp / humidity gages, hide box kinda thing, 20 gallon tank, etc. Should I purchase this if I'm buying a baby? or is 20 gallons to much space for the baby snake? and would it be better to purchase a smaller tank and buy everything seperately?

I would like a new animal but I dont want anything like a dog or a cat so if you have any ideas let me know? I was thinking like a hamster but they smell I heard so if you have any facts on hamsters that would help too.

We have seen a chameleon in a pet shop. It is £95. It is also a fantastic and very friendly creature. I want it. But I don't want it to die just after I get it home. What is the best way to look after it?
And, yes - it changed colour in front of my very eyes (interestingly only the side towards us changed to the blue of the background. The other side stayed the same colour as that of the background in the vivarium. How does it do this?)

To summerise:
How do I look after it?
How does it change colour?
How long is their average lifespan?
How big will it get?

Thanks.

well i have put my female yellow gourami and my male blue gourami into a 5gallon tank to breed. i have provided hiding places and floating plants for the bubble nest. the pair have been in the tank for a few days now and there is no sign of a bubble nest. the male is constantly chasing the female and has wounded her and nipped her finns and she rests in the bottom corner of the tank but she doesnt seem stressed at all! i was wondering if this was normal behavier and how long should it be before they spawn a nest?

Alright. So I have this little 5 year old carin terrier/Dauchsund Mix. I've never seen any signs of illness...but about...eh a year a go, ive noticed that she has these large lumps on her lower back, at first i thought it could be a tumor or something, but then I realized it was also on the other side so I figured it must be her kidneys, shes been drinking more water, but still has an appetite and doesnt seem to be in any pain. Do you think these are muscles? [[Because she runs ALOT]] or...is my little dog dying?

[My mom says scooter is PERFECTLY fine, and i shouldnt worry about anything, but....she never realy listens...im still trying to convince her that she NEEDS to be taken into the vet just to be sure, but....she wont :(]

=[

Please help me, i dont want to say goodbye :(

A few years ago a very cute kitty came into our yard. She seemed tame and let me pet her she even purred. All of a sudden she bit me that is when I noticed she had a huge wound on her tummy. Called the vet said to qurantee her, she then threw up & died. Took her to be tested for rabies thank goodness she didn't have it but I was so scared! I learned my lesson about petting strange animals.

Anyone else think it'd be nice if we could give a reason for rating a person's answer as a negative? Maybe we could learn a little more if we know why the answer was a "bad answer"? Or we could avoid having people go through the sections rating a bunch as negative just because they have too much time on their hands...Just a thought.

Its called "Adventures in Doggy Daycare"

I watched it a few times, but woman that owns the place made a really odd comment that soured me on the show. She said:
" If you aren't going to pamper your dog, why have them?"

I know "pampering" means something differant for everyone but you don't have to spend heaps of cash on your dog to love them.

What do you think?

Hi, my cat is around 4-6 years old, has no health problems and is a generally happy cat BUT

she never drinks!

In the two years we've had her, none of my family have seen her drinking from her bowl.

We do see her drinking from the fountain in our back garden every now and then, and she will drink milk whenever we give it her (a little bit once or twice a week as I'm aware most cats are lactose intolerant). I've tried giving her special cat milk but she's not interested.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Could she not like the taste of tap water chemicals?

Has anyone got any experience of the cat water fountains such as http://www.petplanet.co.uk/product.asp?dept_id=363&pf_id=4193 ?

Are there any water treatments available (other than standard human water filters) that can neutralise the chemicals that she might not like?

Thanks!
