My fish mates are 1 bala shark, 1 black mystery snail, 1 crab, and 2 tiger barbs. Does this seem ok? They say not to have just one barb, so I got two. Also, I don't need flaming for fish peeps who claim I am doing something wrong. It is a semi-agressive tropical tank and all fish fit this title.

My cat always wants to drink from my glass and I let her. Is this dangerous or is it okay?
I read cat's spit is different from ours and it might be bad for us.

I've tried:
Laying him on his back and staring at hime until he looks away.
Spraying him with water.
Yelling "ouch" very loudly.
Yelling at him.
Putting him on a time-out in another room.
Trying to avert his attention to a toy when he is trying to attack me but he just goes after my arm instead.
He doesn't do this to my fiance...please someone tell me a way to stop this.
The latest bite required a band-aid with antbiotic because it started swelling up. He is leaving scratches and bites all over my legs, and he even bruises me when he attacks really hard. My fiance has tried reprimanding him also.
Please help!

Details: He ate half a tab of 75m/g of effexor XR. Most of it was on the floor.
I put half a cap of 3%hydrogen peroxide down his throat in hope that he would vomit. He didn't
He's been to the vet twice today. They gave him a pill that should make him better. They also put fluids on his coat to try to relax him. His pupils have been dialated since 10:30pm it's now 3:45 pm the next day. Has anyone had anything like this happen?? IS the hydrogen peroxide and effexor XR and toxic mixture? I only want positive feedback. Please do not call me a bad mother because accidents do happen.

OK I have a 29 Gallon tank with 8 small Comet fishes. When I first bought the tank, the fish filter started clogging and back flows within 2 weeks. I took it out and its full of BROWN NASTY stuff, so I tried to wash it off but it doesn't come off. A few days ago I went to buy some new filter nets, and I replaced it with that clogged one. NOW, 2 days later, ITS CLOGGED AGAIN!!! Full of that nasty brown stuff again...what is going on here...I'm going to go bankrupt soon...

If I have a cold and she snuggles with me and I give her kisses and pet her will she catch my cold? Can cats catch colds from humans?

I've been looking around to find out what breed of dog I "need", but some of the stuff I've heard seems to be contradictory, so could you give me an idea of a breed that (basically) fits the stuff below?

1.I want a large dog.

2.Walk maybe two or four times a week (depends).

3.Gets along well with cats (doesn't chase them, bite them, etc.)

4.Runs off other dogs/coyotes.

5.Doesn't bark continuously.

6.Friendly but wouldn't allow someone mess with our house.

7.A yard that is about 1/4 to 1/2 of an acre would be enough room for him or her. (We'll probably put one of those electric fence things under the ground.)


I've been checking at our local animal shelter for pups too, so if you know a mix that would be good. (I don't care if it's pureblood and whatnot)

Thanks in advance.

I have a sweet cat named raegan, and she has been with us since last summer, we found her digging in the pinestraw in front of our house. at first we weren't sure if she was friendly, but after she saw us standing there, she came right up to us and started we could tell she was begging for attention. We gave her some food, and she went on her way. we thought that that would be the last time we would see her, but we were wrong, she came back the next day. she has stuck around ever since. we believe she had an owner for some part of her life because she hasn't had kittens, which means she has been spayed. The only thing we are unsure about is her age. is there anyone that can help me find the easiest way to determain her age without going to a vet?? Thanks so much!!!

Last night my 6/yo beagle woke up and came to me shaking uncontrollably. It was if he was extremely cold or scared. He shook for at least 10 minutes until finally, he fell back asleep with me comforting him. He stopped tremoring once he was asleep. This morning when we got up, he seemed extremely lethargic and was still shivering. He's been doing it all day. I am taking him to the vet tomorrow. Does anyone know what may be going on?

My little princess Kalya gets lonely when I'm gone. She a 7 month old fancy rat. Is she too old to make friends with other rats? I know rats are territorial and will fight other rats as they get older. Is she young enough to be able to get along with other rats? She was raised with other rats till about 3 months ago.
