Does anyone know what Ph level my aquarium needs to be for a siren? Is it the same as for fish? And what exactly regulates the Ph?

I got a new shih tzu puppy 2 weeks ago. She is 4 months old. She will only go outside to the bathroom if I stand out there with her. If I try to walk back inside she runs to the door and stands there until I let her in. At some point I would like to be able just let her outside by herself. Kind of time consuming to stand outside and wait for her everytime she needs to go. How do I get her to go outside by herself?

My cat is a diabetic and the last day and a half she has stopped eating and drinking. I took her to the litter box but she did not urinate but had a small amount of bloody diarrhea. I am taking her to the Dr. in the morning but I am concerned. Wondering if it could be a sign of organ failure due to her diabetes or something different?
Thank you for your help!

I've gotten wonderful help from other people on yahoo who have had similar experiences.with having to have their birds leg aputated. Now I'm wondering though how to prepare its cage for when it comes home. We are going to give it our lovebirds cage because its old cage is much too tall. What should I put on the bottom of the cage and what about food and water dishes? Any help?

First off, we are in Vietnam and have no access to a Vet. One of our 4 dogs has been foaming at the mouth but not continuously. She is not being vicious and is still taking water. The question is... When a dog has rabies are the symptoms intermitent, are there periods where the dog will appear back to normal? or is it just total dimentia from the get go and continuous frothing from the mouth and attacking anything within reach? I was actually bitten by this dog about three weeks ago and it drew blood. Not the dogs fault. The dog was stepped on by accident and just snaped at the offending foot. We need answers here. please help.

Ok well i have decided to breed my male and female betta fish. My question is, whenever he sees her he makes himself look big and it kinda looks like he is going to attack her but they cant touch eachother becuase they are in a tank that has a piece of glass in the middle so they have eye contact but not physical contact. Is this normal? Is this his way of dancing around on his nose for her? I also have another question. Where can i go on the internet to get correct info and steps on breeding Bettas. Also, If you are a betta breeder i would like to email you with questions if you dont mind.

Female shih-tsu, 15 lbs. We were gone and she went into the pantry and retrieved a box of Betty Crocker Brownie mix, opened it, ate all the mix and the all chocolate fudge syrup.

So...
(A) Take her to the vet! She's gonna die!
(B) Put the brownies up higher next time.
(C) You are so cruel to your dog, you shouldn't have one!
(D) They say chocolate is bad for dogs, but the dog disagrees.

Or an essay will be fine.

We went away for 3 weeks and had friends take care of him. Asked them to clean the box at least once a week (although it should be cleaned more often, they didn't like the idea of cleaning it out). We came home to a full litter box, and he had **** and pissed in a few other areas of the house. Since then, he's done crapped 3 more times. The other day, I was cleaning his litter box out and turned around to see him doing it 2 feet away from me. I thought to myself I might have to get rid of him.

Tonight he did it again. I'm not sure if it's because he's not getting enough attention, or if he's pissed at us for not ever being home (we've been having to go out of town a lot and still have 3 more weekend trips before the end of August) or what, but it's very frustrating

A few months back I bought a cat tree from Wal-Mart. It was really sturdy and worked well for the cats. It's a floor to ceiling cat tree that had 4-5 posts with flat surfaces in between the posts for them to lay on.

I ended up breaking it becuz I'm not patient, so when trying to move it, rather than taking the top apart, I tried sliding it down plastic broke in one of the posts. I went back to get another one and ended up with a very cheaply made one.

A while back I wrote down the company name and was going to email them, but I got sidetracked with other projects. We have two new kittens in addition to our older two cats, so having the cat tree would be great, but Walmart hasn't had any in.

Does anyone know the name of the company that made the tree? I know they have a website, but I've lost the link and I ended up losing the paper that came with the box.

Any help would be much appreciated as the kittens are getting older and I know they'd enjoy the tree.

Thank you so much! :)

Suddenly, overnight that is, my cat has grown a lump right behind his ribcage It doesnt seem to bother him, he lets me brush him as usual. But I just took him to the vet a few days ago (he showed up on my doorstep just a few weeks ago) and I'm completely out of money for another two weeks. Should I be hugely worried about this? I've known several dogs to get fat lumps on them which were roughly the same size and shape (half a golfball) but I don't know if this is normal for cats? Especially cats who were starving and are still very very thin.

Anybody who has had a similar issue please let me know if I need to go into debt to get him back to the vet.

I was wondering what should I do if my kitten/cat gets into a bad situation So I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I should do if one of these happens: My cat starts to choke, my cat gets sick, and if my cat gets into a cat fight how should I break it up and what do I do if he's bleeding badly?

I know that none of this is very likely to happen but I was just wondering what I should do because if one of these happens I don't want to be caught off guard so someone give any advice you have. Thank you in advance!
