My boyfriends dads cat is losing weight badly. She is about 2 yrs old and not spayed so she does go into heat alot.About a month ago she started losing weight and it just keeps coming off. She is so thin now, her sides are almost concave. I'm not around her alot but the other day I saw her rubbing her butt on the carpet. Could it be worms? would that cause the weight loss? Could it be the stress of going in heat so much? Any ideas? I know we should take her to the vet, but I'd like to aviod that if we can cause we can't afford it right now

I've already done research on Cairn Terriers, but I want to hear from any personal experiances, because the websites just state general info about the dog, they dont never give any personal comments on what real owners have to say.

Thanks in andvance!

Does anyone have any helpful hints or places that operate 24/7 in the rescuing of stray dogs? I was driving earlier, taking my exit from the interstate and noticed a dog on the side the road. I circled around to try to get him, but there was a fence that he could not get through and he ran the other way. I circled and circled and stopped a couple times to try to get him to bring it some place safe. Whenever I got near him, he ran away. He looked like he was hurt and very scared of people. I watched him for a while and tried luring him with food, but nothing. I went home and tried to call an Animal Control place to see if they had better ways, and they are open 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. I thought, what good is that, how do you expect to help animals with those hours?? I called local vets and no place was open. Does anyone know what someone can do to help save these scared, lost dogs? It made me very sad.

How can you test the salinity in an aquarium, and what is the proper salinity in a freshwater tank when treating ick?

I've recently gotten Mollies for the first time and I am planning on adding them with my many female bettas. But since Bettas have a labyrinth gill and do not require a air filter, I do not have one for them. I'm unsure if mollies can also take air from the surface like bettas or do they need air filters.

MY four year old dog is as energetic as a puppy. Whenever we bring him inside the house he does not relax, and does not stay still. He runs throughout the house, goes through the trash and does not behave. We have tried taking him on long walks and buying chew toys but he never gets tired. We want him to come in the house and be part of our family more often . Any suggestions? Thanks

My boyfriend and i got our chichilla Skorch from out local SPAC. Someone found him and brought him in but he was never claimed. Anyways to my question:

@ the spca, they said they tried all brands of chinchilla foods, and Skorch only liked CHARLIE CHINCHILLA FOOD. The thing is though, he doesnt eat ANY of the pellets! He is getting more picky and picky. Now he doesnt eat the little things that come with it. Should i gradually change his food or what! HELP!

I know what to feed "my soon to be rat" for treats, but question about dry food. So, can I feed her/him hamster guinea pig food? that is about all they sell, unless I decide to feed it bird food. (catch my sarcasm?) I could see the food through the package, and it had plenty of seeds and pellets, and stuff. There was no hay or corn in it. Would this be okay, I mean, that is about all I can find here. Pet rats aren't exactly common around Little Rock. Rats are more of the thing that people want to kill here. Any way. Thanks.

We found a family of ducks today; about 5 babies and a mother. They were in a city centre, nowhere near water...but well hidden and enclosed. The thing is, they are about 8stories below ground level (but outdoors)..in a big hole, if that makes sence! There is grass etc for them but we were a bit confused about why they were there and not near water etc...we cant imagine how they get food there. Would it be dangerous (for the ducks) if we moved them to a nice park with water where they would get fed...or does daddy duck visit/would changing their environment confuse them?! Random, i know...but we felt bad about it!

I got a baby corn snake about 2 months ago but it won't eat. I've tried exposing the brain and it still acts like it isn't interested. i try feeding it twice a week but nothing. Is force feeding too stressful for a 3 month old snake? the diameter of the snake is smaller that the diameter of the newborn pinky.
