We have a female who is 4 months old. She is very alert and does let us know if ANYTHING is moving. She is already housebroken and knows how to "sit". So I know she is smart but I would just like to get some advice from someone who perhaps has skills in training a Dobie for personal protection. I dont want an agressive dog but I do want a dog who is going to not allow someone into our home. My children and I are alone at night alot due to hubbys work hours.

Kids ages are 12, 9, & 2. We want a small to medium dog that doesn't shed much preferably. Also prefer a dog that is smart, not too hyper, but somewhat playful at the same time.

I hope that someone can answer this in a timely fashion, My cat had 9 kittens 3 weeks ago. There is two runts but at this time they seem to be doing okay; however, one that wasnt even a runt is not. I went to check on them and it was in the corner of the box, i thought it was dead, i picked it up and it was completely cold and wasnt moving, upon a close look i noticed very shallow breathing. I went and got it kitten formula and gave it 2ML and after 30 minutes it started to move. It didnt move to much but it was a sign in the right direction. Currently its eyes have blood looking spots on the iris and wont dilate to light correctly, and the membranes are half way over the eye. Also the poor thing cant even blink. I've been trying to warm it and feed it. But how much should i feed a kitten in this condition, and how often? I also have been supplementing the runts a few times a day and they are doing okay, seem to have a lot of energy, but are still VERY small..

you think he will go to jail for the dog fighting ring. Dog fighting is a serious crime isn't it? A Felony.

so, will he enter at the state he was in when he left this world? In pain, seizuring, full blown rabid crazy, or will he be the sweet kitty he was for all those years? I feel all children and animals should go to heaven because they are so innocent.

I introduced a goldfish into my aquarium, with my existing betta fish. When they showed signs of fighting, I removed the betta, and put him in a fishbowl of water that had been treated about 30 minutes before. Within about 2 hours of being in the new bowl, he had almost completely lost the red coloring in his body, and a little bit in his tail and fins. I have since removed the goldfish, and replaced the betta in his original aquarium. He seems to be behaving fairly normally, swimming around, etc, but hasn't shown any improvement in his coloring. Will his color return? Is there anything I can do to help him recover? How long should I expect it to take?

My dog has (i think) Sarcopitc mites on the tips of her ears. She's a cockapoo and she has the ears that fold over. The doctor (the last time[this is the second time shes had it]) gave me this yellow stuff that smells like rotten eggs (i think its sulfur i think) and so i applied it on the area where the mites are, and both ears became inflamed. I was wondering (becuase right now i dont have the money to take her to the vet, i wont have it for another 2 weeks til i get my check) if there is any over the counter medicine that i can use to stop the inflamation and to get rid of the Sarcoptic mite (scabie mites). I would REALLY appreciate it if someone can get back to me because im worried about my dog. All she keeps on doing is shaking her head.

I have resently bought 3 fantail goldfish and a sucker. I put them in a 10 gallon tank, with a filter for that size, but it doesn't seam to be cleaning the tank. The fish also have been very unintergetic; should i get a larger filter?

I've done a little bit of research and despite being intrigued by many breeds and types, I've narrowed down my decision; either a Ball Python, or a Corn Snake. Which is a better pet for a beginner snake owner?? (and why?)
