My pomeranian is suffering from Chronic Renal Failure. I have prescribed food, however, it is common for dogs suffering from this disease to become very picky. I have been using chicken broth and chunks of baked chicken to mix with her food. Does anyone know of any thing else I can feed her that is allowed in her condition/

I wanted to ask someone if they knew what to do in this situation. I know someone who has a dog. He is a one year old mix breed. He is very big and very friendly. I have an oppurtuity to have this dog. But the problem is that he has been kept in a kennel for 90% of his life. I think he might be going crazy. When let out he runs around likes to jump on people (I know this is to expected.) My question is, do you think there is a chance I can save him and make him "normal" again? Or is there no hope? People with special knowledge or experiences with this are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!!

He's a 15 yo Lab...i think he will be about 100% blind in about one more year...what should I expect then? Can he still get around like that? He is also about 99% deaf too...the ole boy is about worn out...no more duck hunting for him.

I was coming in to feed my two budgies and I was shocked to find one dead on the ground. Tom my other budgie was standing over him. I wondered why. They had a full supply of fresh water. They were both on a diet of Zupreem fruit pellets, They get to come out of the cage daily and love to look around for treats on the living room floor. I feel so sorry for Tom. He has had 2 BFF's including Junior. Both dead. I don't know if he can take all this change. How do you think Junior died? and will Tom be ok?

I recently adopted a pregnant boxer because the shelter thought that she had already had her pups and was going to put her to sleep. I can tell that she's pretty far into her pregnancy, and I've been watching her really closely, but I wanted to know if there's a way to tell when the big day might be.

PLEASE NO INSULTS, I'VE HELPED PREGNANT DOGS GIVE BIRTH BEFORE, AND I'M PLANNING ON KEEPING ALL OF HER PUPS NO MATTER WHETHER SHE HAS ONE OR FOURTEEN BECAUSE I HAVE THE MEANS TO).

thanks.

The aquarium won't have a top on it, it will be uncovered. Oh, and if you should not keep any of them in a 10 Gallon glass aquarium, would a bigger aquarium make a difference?

My Great Dane had 2 knee surgerys and I need to get him on some anti-inflamtory/painreliever like Rimadyl that don't cost me a fortune every month with bad side effects. I only want pills also because my other dog got into the Rimadyl chewables on day and almost killed herself. He is very stiff and lacks muscle in that leg so he doesn't always bear weight. I have him on 21st century pet health "Healthy Joints and Hip" with Glucosamine Hydrochloride. The ingredients are Glucosamine Hyrodchlorie, Vitamin C, Zinc, Manganese, Coppr, Cellulose, Geltain, Liver meal, Magnesium Sillicate, Magnesium Stearat and Stearic Acid. They don't seem to be helping. He's cost me over $3k this year so i'm very low on funds, so something thats not gonna cost me over $30 a month woul be nice. He had his second surgery about 4 months ago.

Hi,

the people that live behind me have this pre-historic rat for a dog which they keep on a lead chained to their back door.

It has no kennel, and even when it rains it is left out in the cold to soak and they seem to ignore the fact that it whines all night which is keeping me up!

What can you do about this - the poor creature 'yelps' and i feel sorry for it!

I have a 5 and a half year old spayed female boxer. I rescued her a year ago from a rescue league so I don't know much of her background. However, I do know that for some reason, boxers tend to be prone to UTI's. (Urinary Tract Infections)

We had her on Science Diet Maintenance dry/canned for about the first 10 months or so. I recently switched her to Iams Large Breed dry/canned. She does well on it but her urinary pH is shooting back up.

Now I know that the food "ingredient", ash, has some role in the pH. My question lies in what good quality food(s) are good for boxers? And can anyone tell me that these "breed specific" diets are actually any different than regular food?

Thanks for all your advice.

Hi,

My guinea pig is barely eatting his pelets or drinking his water. Here's the information:


I bought 2 guinea pigs 38 hours ago and it isn't drinking his water. The water is from a water bottle with nozzle hanging from the side.

Also, it isn't eatting his pellet. It ate it on the first night but after that he isn't eatting. Right now, i'm trying to give him a lot of vegetables until i can find what wrong.

Someone PLease help!!!

The dog name is King. I have to go by his house the whole of next week because his father is having surgery. The dog is not in the backyard but in the basement with him. I don't want to be afraid of it. Even his 2 year old cousin plays with the dog. It is train but its big and I'm still scared. Am I over thinking it.
