My 12 week old kitten has an extended belly and i dont know why. She had worms about a week ago so i gave her the de-worming tablet and her worms are all gone now, so it cant be that. She has diarea every couple of days. Shes eats quite a lot becuase shes gets hungry often; a combination of wet and dry food. Whats wrong with her? BTW She was born with a scale 4 out of 6 heart murmur. Could her extended belly have anything to do with that? She is very playful and healthy apart from that with a normal amount of energy for a kitten.

There are 3 kittens and their mother cat in my backyard. I don't exactly know where they live or how they eat. I want to help them or at least feed them because they look really weak,
but whenever I go close to them, their mother starts to stare at me and i get the feeling i'm not wanted. Their mother is really protective. What should i do?

I don't want a huge tank. Something I can put on a bookshelf in my office...
Maybe something like this with some gold fish?

The vet cannot see him till later today. Any advice would be great. He is very tired and sleepy. He just seems overall very ill.

She's a mini dachshund I have had since she was 8 weeks old. She has breast cancer, we were told about 4 years ago and I coudn't afford surgery. It has grown very large in the last several months to a year but she has not been in pain or discomfort until now, the last couple of days she seems to have a hard time getting comfortable laying down occasionally and has yelped a few times. She is like my child so I am having a hard time with this. I just wish I could have that tumor taken off and she would be O.K. She still gets around, eats, and occasionally plays. Well, she hasn't played in the last couple of days. Please, help me with this decision.

When you take your dog out for a walk, why do you allow your mutt to take a crap in other people's yards?

And don't lie and say that you pick up after your dog, either. I bet that maybe .5% of all dog owners actually are conscientious.

Are you just lazy or just inconsiderate? And how would you feel if I dropped my trousers and launched a Democrat on YOUR front yard?

I play tug of war with my dogs... one at the time....
One is 60lbs and the other is 50lbs... I am 110lbs...so we never play too rough as they seem to know that I am not that strong. I make sure I win (to be the alpha one, and I am anyway)...
they love playing it... and they do play with each other too. never had a bite, and when they play with each other, they never hurt each other either.

My brother in law does not let his dog playing it (I started to play with his dog and I had to stop)... because he says that it will make him agressive....the funny thing is that 4 months later (the other day) his dog growled at his kids and grabbed the kid's arm.

Could not letting a dog being a dog be more dangerous?
I mean if your dog knows who is the boss, then it's ok to play "dog games" (tug of war) with them, no?

My boyfriend is getting a pug tomorrow! :) I am buying the dog a collar and a leash. The dog was born a little chubby, I just wondered what size collar I should get for the pug?

http://www.mvpdogs.com/NFL-Cleveland-Browns/c5_13/p113/Cleveland-Browns-NFL-Dog-Collar/product_info.html

That is the collar I am getting...any ideas? He says I should get a small size, but I am debating between that and a medium. Ideas?

We just got a puppy about two months ago and my cat is now about 9 months old. When we first got the puppy the cat was bigger and would chase the puppy around and bite him or hold him down and lick his head and the puppy did not like this. Well the puppy is bigger than our cat now and when they play I think he is being too rough, he will grab the cat under his chin with his teeth and shake his head. The cat has a few scabs on his neck, but our cat still chases him and the dog is usually the one who yelps but he can get the kitty pretty good. How to I train him to be nicer to the cat, usually when he is being too rough I use a firm voice and say "NO, Be nice", but I don't want to train them not to play? I hope this isn't too confusing! Thanks.

I have a 55 gallon tank and have several variety of fish in it. I have had the same fish in it for almost a year. However the past few days one of my rainbow sharks has been "attacking" the other rainbow sharks , it has already killed one. I have attached a picture of another rainbow that he has been attacking, in the picture you can see all of his fins have been bit and tore and he has little bits taken out of his side. Does anyone know why my fish is doing this, he doesnt bother any of the other fish in the tank.
