My vet thinks that my dog was poisoned by the recalled pet food. I placed a call to the 800 # 3 months ago and was told someone would get in touch with me. So fat nothing. I called back and they told me if they entered my information on the list again I would be placed at the end of the list. Has anyone else been dealing with this?

I have 4 platies and I recently bought a female guppy. Is it true that she'll nip at the tails of my other fish and kill them?

My cats are outside cats but I let them inside to be fed because I can't leave the bowl outside or neighbor cats will eat it all. (I do leave the water bowl outside) But it seems like they meow to be fed like 3-4 times a day! I thought they were supposed to be fed just once a day, and my husband says that you're also supposed to let them fast one day for the benefit of their digestion. What's the rule about this?

Ever since we brought the new kitten into the house the 2 dogs seem to think it is a toy for them to play with. I've tried keeping them seperated and making sure they are supervised but they just won't leave it along, we have another adult cat but they do not bother him at all.

My female dog friend, after being an outdoor dog all her life, & not loved by her owners, has been escaping lately from her fenced in yard. I visit her daily & give her 3 milk-bones everyday for 10 yrs. & lots of hugs over the fence. Now, she's chained, choking , & miserable. Her neighbors love her too. Her owner says she's in heat.???

I've a bowl and 3 goldfishes in them. initially i had a pair but one of them died. Anytime after that, i bought a single fish, it used to die. then i bought a pair and both of them are alive happily. So now, i have ended up with 3 goldfishes in a single bowl.

i've noticed that they all behave strangely after a few hours of changing the water. (i do it everyday, since i did not buy a filter for the bowl, it just seemed too much space wud be taken in a small bowl by a filter).

soon after (abt an hour or so), i change the water in the bowl, they all would come up to the surface and would pout on the surface of the water...like they are trying to use actual air for breathing. it looks something like this (-------v-------) assume v is fishes mouth pouting....

i'm not sure why they do that...can you guess???

initially i thought that they were asking for food, but they dont even touch food even when its floating on the water and wud avoid touching the food, while keep on pouting

He's about to turn six for the past three years he has had constant urinary tract problems. He suffers from crystals in his urine for this he takes cystaid capsules every day and has a special dry vet diet. Recently he has produced blood in his wee samples leading to x-rays and a wee sample being taken straight from the bladder to locate this blood and rule out tumours. There was no concluding answers leaving him with metacam to have every day to stop the irration to his bladder as well as everything else. The next stop is a bladder sample being taken to see if the blood is the lining of the bladder breaking up or the crystals breaking it up. Nightmare! Does any body know of a cat with this or what the out come might be or is your cat just the same?

Ok, I live next to rental property and I'm my 3rd set of neighbors in a year(so I don't want to do anything drastic). Anyway I have asked them four times that I know of--to not bother my dog. I have caught them twice feeding her table scraps, which I do not feed her. The first time I just told them she doesn't need to eat that, but I caught them doing it again. She has been sick several times since they have lived there and I think it is something they have fed her. Also, when she was younger she bit at several people. I have "beware of dog" and "no tresspassing" signs and I have also warned them that she bites. That doesn't seem to mater to stupid people!!! What should I do now?? What if she bites one of them?? Will I be held responsible for my neighbor's stupidity??

Have you heard of the allegations surrounding Michael Vick the Atlanta Falcons quarterback and the dog-fights he’s been holding at his rural mansion.
He's accused of having executed eight dogs that didn't test well by ''hanging, drowning and slamming at least one dog's body to the ground.''
