One is black with white stomache and legs and she is the shy one. She is always nervous around me but that will probably go away soon. The other is white with a black head and she has black spots on her stomache(only 4 really small ones). She has a stripe of white on her face though. She is the more loving one. She always wants to be with me. And shes always licking me. I just got these little girls yesterday. So any ideas?

Is there any way i can put a picture up? I live in Boca Raton (south Florida) The snake is about 8-9 inches long with what looks like purple diamonds going down its back seperated by white/silver. A couple times when i got close it started to shake its tail. I have a picture if anybody is willing to look at it. Please help me out, my niece and nephew are coming tomorrow and if the snake is dangerous I plan on getting rid of it. Thank you

My dog was bitten by a cat on Saturday and we took him to the vets. He was prescribed anti-botics for five days and given a pain relief injection. He is still limping badly and the leg is still swollen. He is eating well and drinking, going to the tooilet etc as normal, but the wound doesn't seem to be healing yet, should i give it more time (as it's only been 3 days) or take him back to the vet?

If I have a water filter in it already do I still have to clean it? Cause the algae eater would take care of the algae and the water filter would take care of the dirty water... What about a gravel filter?? Anyways, I would love to have a fish tank but I don't have time to clean it or the money to hire someone to!

When I decided to breed my gerbils, I had planned on two litters. I intended on putting the males with their father and females with their mother and separating them into two cages before the birth of the second litter, so that the father or sons couldn't impregnate the mother after she gave birth to her new litter. A friend of mine did this and said that female pups are great at helping their mother with younger siblings. In my case however, of the six pups of the first littler that were born on June 6th, sadly only three survived and as Murphy's law would have it all three are male. My female is now pregnant with her second litter and if possible, I would prefer not to have a third. Can she raise the new babies on her own without too much stress?

My boyfriends pitbull just had puppies and they are so cute.. Well she had a liter of 13 and now she only have five left. Me and my boyfriend took two of the puppies that we wanted and we are feeding them with similac baby formula in bottles so they can get nutrition..the other puppies are dying because the mother is smothering them..she lays on top of them and all you can hear is the puppies squealing and its very hot outside but we can't bring them in the house. Do any one have any suggestions on what we can do to save the five remaining puppies..and do you think that bottle feeding our two puppies will help build their strength? They are only 2 days old, but if we didn't take the two away she was going to kill them by smothering

My beloved Shasta has a Stage 4 spinal Injury (stage 5 is paralyzed). Chiropractor cannot help her Vet says she needs a neurospecialist and the specialist says she has a 50/50 chance surgery will make her any better. Best case she will always have limitations in her activities

She is in pain and on meds for the pain but they make her nauseous and groggy. She spends most of her day in her bed and is still very uncomfortable.

Surgery will be $4500 + and no assurance of life quality improving, she could end up paralyzed anyway. The Specialist is 5 hours away and will need her to followup 2 or 3 times requiring a long winding car ride after surgery.

My only other choice is to do the alternative which makes me ill but I need to think of her.

I don't need a lot of callous comments If all you are going to say is shoot it don't waste your time or mine.
I am looking for some honest caring opinions from Animal lovers.
I am struggling with this and need some feedback HELP
