i had one which attached itself to my fish and grazed off their scales, terrifying them, as they couldnt get it off or swim away
must have been the mucus on the scales. i wouldnt have another.

we're planning on picking up our male english mastiff next week. he will be six weeks old.

however, i am finding much conflict on the matter of how old a puppy can or should be before being adopted.
most say six weeks is a bit of a stretch.

can i permanently damage my dog by taking away two weeks from being with its littermates and mother?

We have a cockateil that is always kept in a cage. (she loves it in there).. Anyway my 4 year old nephew who was here on vacation let the bird out of its cage. He was told 5 times not to open the cage and as soon as we left the room he did it again. My cairn terrier (who was only going on instinct) got the bird. We were able to retrieve it from the dog but its been with a bandage on its leg for 3 weeks. It was near death but now Its doing great, singing gained weight, eating...but yesterday my vet (an aviary specialist) said the leg is not bonding and it needs to be amputated. Does any one have or know anyone that has a one legged bird? .Any help or experince with this?

she hates to be brushed, I have never had this problem with her and she is 11 years old. she won't go to the groomers due to stress. otherwise she is a great cat and has a good disposition.

Every time she is about to eat her food she first takes 2-3 pieces of it (no more, no less) into the living room and drops it on the floor. Then she goes and eats her food. Sometimes she'll go back and play with it (jump back and forth and bark at the 2-3 tiny pieces) and eventually eat it.Sometimes she just leaves it there. Like now, it's been there for 2 hours. What is up with that?!?

I have a cat that is about 8 years old and he not using the litter box any more. We did move him about 2 months ago to a different house and he was fine. There is another cat inside the new house that always wants to play. We spray the kitten with water to let him know not to bother the 8 year old cat and then usually let the kitten go outside and run around. I would like to know if there is anything that can be done with the older cat to make him use the box again.

Right now I just feed him Hikari Betta Bio-Gold 3 times a day. Anyone else got suggestions on treats or supplements? Also a schedule would be nice.

My dog recently spent 10 days in a kennel while I was away. He's been vaccinated for kennel cough about 2 months ago.

Since I picked him up he's been sneezing, gasping for air and sleeping almost all day. Very unlike him. He's also lost weight and I can now feel his bones when I pet him.

I'm getting worried each time I see him gasping for air. It's not a reversed sneeze thing I keep hearing about. It's like he's trying to breath so hard.

His eyes are covered with mucus and I have to keep cleaning them out.

My question is this. If he's been vaccinated for kennel cough, can he still get it? If not, what could this be?

I have two guppies and one black molly. About a week ago I began noticing that one of my guppies was getting alot bigger in size; ballooning up. I thought she was a female and pregnant at that; but there was no gravid spot at all, let alone one becoming bigger and darker. I thought that maybe she just didnt have one. I also began noticing that her body, around her anal fin, is bent. Yesterday night, upon even further notice, I noticed that "she" is actually a "he"! I found the gonopedium (correct spelling?). I know my other guppy is a boy because he's more brightly colored with a large and distinctly noticeable gonopedium, but now this one's a boy? Anyways, so I have a male guppy that looks pregnant, with a bent body. Is my guppy really a pregnant female with no gravid spot, or is it a male with some disease? I need to figure out what is going on here, I'm beginning to lose sleep. Anything helps, any advice, personal experience. But, please, especially experienced guppy owners. Thanks!

My 6 months old cocker spaniel likes to eat the grass and leaves . I was told by some friends that means she is missing some nutrition from her diet. Is that true? Please share your knowledge and thoughts. Thanks

I've had my Oscar since Sunday and I've just been feeding it Hikari Gold cichlid pellets that I used to feed my Mbunas. What live food, aside from frozen, would be alright to feed my Oscar...and how often. =]
