This might be a stupid question.. sorry. Is it just because some have more money to afford to keep all the dogs? I would think more people would bring animals to the no-kill, which would cause over-crowding. There is a no-kill animal shelter here in Austin where I live and I think it's a really wonderful concept.

My female platy is pooping weird. It looks kind of like white dental floss! What does this mean? Also, how strange is it that I've had a male and female for 3 months with no babies? Any thoughts welcome! Thanks.

... between an old english, dorset old time, victorian. I cant really tell what the differences are. I'm not interested in english bulldogs due to the health problems caused by their body structure.

I'm looking into getting a bearded dragon, but I've had some serious problems with buying pets (fish) that die very soon after being bought, like they were already sick when purchased. I'm terrified of spending the money on a bearded dragon and then having it die within weeks from some weird disease it got in a pet store.

Does anyone have any tips for selecting a healthy beardie? Are there any warning signs to look for?

My dog was recently put down because of several problems that she had. Regardless that she's now gone, I'd like to figure out what she had.

What underlying cause could give a dog diabetes and anemia, both? At first we only thought it was diabetes, but then when we found out she had anemia, there was nothing we could do because they couldn't find the cause. Please, if any of you know, please provide the answer and a link to any information about it.

Thank you~<3

She was obviously rough housing with the other dogs. She has a cut i'm not sure where exactly it's bleeding. I flushed her eye out with water...but should I take her to a vet to get something to help prevent an infection? Or should she be ok? She's in discomfort, but she is not yelping from pain. Her eye was completely filled with blood.

I just bought this Cockateil from this lady for only $35 but when I brought her home I noticed that she has alot of bald spots and when she stretched out her wings it looks like she has bald spots underneath the wings as well with wounds and some blood!! I dont know what this poor bird has been through or if she has a disease but i sure hope she is ok. She looks happy but is missing alot of her body feathers. Well anyways the lady that gave her to me also gave a container with sand and told me that it's for her to eat. I grew up with my grandparents that bred these beautiful birds and they never gave them sand. Are Cockateils supposed to eat sand? Do you think this could make her sick?

I have a dog and the former owner says it is half pitbull and maltese. Is this possible, or did she get her breed wrong?

My female guppy is pregnant. She has a very large belly and a black gravid spot. When is she going to have babies? Please note this comment: She IS carrying on with regualer behaviour, such as eating, being active and not hiding. The only thing I noticed was that she is now swimming a little crooked due to weight issues. (I think) Someone who is EXPERIENCED please answer! When will she have her fry?

Can I dump a bunch of Triops into a fry tank? Would I have to remove the larger ones? I think theyre strictly algae/pellet eaters but I dont want the bigger ones getting interested in my little fry.

My story:
The fry I started out with are the fry from the breeding of my two bettas. This was my first time and i was WAY in over my head. I didnt have the ability to go to the store and buy things like microworms so I grew insuforia for them but I dont really think they ate it seeing as how there are three Betta's left from a rather large group.

I was about to clean out the tank when I noticed there were three of them, a month old approximately, and probably smaller than they would normally be.

Ive recently gotten the three into a container so that I can keep an eye on them and It'd hit me pretty hard if these three die.

They dont/wont/havnt eaten the crushed flake food that I read they should be consuming by now soo.. What do i do?

I know its just a bird and it doesn't matter much but the cute little guy could die. He fell out of his nest and now his neck is nearly broked I put him in a old cage thing with a towel, food, and water but I don't know what do to... He's out in my sideyard. He might not make it 'cause he had a brother who died by falling out. I haven't seen the mom or the dad dove. I don't know what do to with him...
I'm feeding him oats but is that the right thing? What should I do???
