I have taken my cat to the vet for smaller things, and have discovered that it costs a ton of $ for them to tell me what I thought I knew anyway.
I have been applying bacitracin for his cut, which seems to have helped, even though he keeps licking after I have applied it. Would cleaning it with peroxide as well as the bacitracin be better, or would that not be healthy for him? And please, no nasty comments on me not caring enough about my cat to take him to the vet...he goes every year.

He keeps licking and itching! Because he licks his face is also itchy and raw. The vet gave him medicine for yeast infection. It is getting worse.

I have a 7 year old chow/wolf mix and he has been limping for a while. he ways about 150lbs, and eats a good portion of neutriants every day. He is a family pet and we havbe taken him to several doctors, but they all said it was nothing to worry about. The last time a vet told me that i lost my 3 year old border collie.. you can see why i dont trust there diagnosis. I have a close freind that did a project for her ap class on hip dysplayshia in different breeds of dogs and chow chows, and wolves are at the low raking score. so i highly doubt that it could be H.D.
Theres is also a possability of arthritis but it is very slim. his conditions seem to get worse and then better periodicly, but it has started to beacome worse and cause him to take a while to recouperate. I any of you face or have faced the same challenge as I please let me know. I would never think of amputating his leg (only if totaly necissary), so please try to obstain from advision so.
By the way im 13.. so bnice C.

I got one answer last time but I'm not sure, I need a couple more answers so I can make up my mind. I have a Clark's Clownfish, I have a Firefish, and I have a Camel back Shrimp. With a couple of snails in it. My clownfish has this sorta of white coat on him. It's not on him like dots but sorta like they are his scales sticking up. But not bloated and he doesn't looks like a pine cone. He doesn't want to eat and he stays at the top of the tank. Before He stayed at the bottom. When I showwed my dad so we can go to the fish store, he said not to worry about it because he might have go into a fight. I'm not sure if it did though. I remember the camel back shrimp would get those long antennae thing and touch the clownfish with them, but I thought it was cleaning it. Anyone know? Please I need answers this time.

My vet said, she (my dog) was depressed because she was in heat, and there is no dog for her to mate with.

I think the vet might have been leing, because she is not doing anything, she hides in her crate for hours and throws up constantly, I went back to the vet and he said he could take blood work and x rays which would be a couple of hundreds of dollars same thing with other vets

and we don't have that kind of money, they dont except payment plans niether.

I doubt she is in heat.

In the areas of : Toledo, Cleveland, or Columbus

It doesn't really matter the breed. But my budget is 50-150 (for adoption or rescue)

I'm buying a dog for my sister as a birthday present (she is 6). I don't have a lot of money to spend on the actual dog, but I do have a plan for care/health costs for the dog. So no lectures are needed.

I'd rather rescue a dog, then shell out a huge amount of cash to a breeder.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I have 4 species of fish:

1 Betta (Lives in a bowl by himself)
2 Dwarf Gouramis
2 Neon tetras
3 Cory Cats

I feed all of my fish twice a day. The food I use are from the company Tetra. I feed my Betta Freeze Dried Blood Worms. My gouramis and neon tetras eat tropical flakes and my cory cats get whatever the gouramis and neon tetras don't get as the flakes fall to te bottom. I do this twice a day and before I go to bed I give my cory cats a tropical tablet just in case they don't get enough from the flakes.

What are some other food choices that provide nutritious value for my fish? Thanks to all that answer!

I have 2 glass catfish and one has very short feelers, like about 2 cm. I didn't notice it till I put him in the tank with my other fish. I just want to know if he'll grow them back out or if he'll die from not being able to feel for his food.
