My cat just got neutered about 4 days ago and now he's just moping around. He's on antibiotic and we've been making sure he's eating and drinking, but still he's moping around. His bottom (where he had his surgery is sort of swelled). Is this all normal?

We have a Black and Tan American cocker spaniel. He has 2 White spots one big one on his chest and one small one on his belly where his belly button should be. Is that normal for a black and tan dog?
Is there a web site where they show pictures of black and tan cockers? I have not found one, only other colours. I would like to see some other dogs the same colour. Is it not comon colour or do people not like this colour?

I am getting a dog soon from a shelter. I'm looking for a kind, sweet animal that loves to be loved. We will "share" this dog with my special needs daughter (who's very kind) and my mother-in-law who's an invalid and just wants to pet her/him.
Now, I'm looking at a male that's a mix but mostly border collie. He is 18 months but seemed calm. But when I took him out for a walk he was wild....

I've had my cat for about 5-6 years now and I've never neglected her or any such thing, I always feed her and give her attention when she needs it, but she still seems as if she doesn't like me... she seems to love crowding round my mum or sleeping in her bed, but she won't even come near my room (I carried her in before and as soon as I put her down she ran straight out... :l), she only ever seems to come to me when she's hungry and there's no one else around, any other time she clears off as soon as she sees me... I've never had this problem with any of my other cats, is there anything I can do to make her like me at all? It's getting a bit annoying...

I am considering purchasing a Meyer's Parrot (hatched in February) and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. I know quite a bit about the basic husbandry, but I was just hoping for some more specifics, personal experience, opinions of them, etc... I currently own a cockatiel and an Amazon, so I have experience with birds. Serious answers only please. Thank you!

I just got a Ferret and her nails are pretty pointy. I bought myself a nail clipper for her but have found it pretty hard to keep her still long enough to trim them.

Don't get me wrong, I like Chihuahuas, but it seems like they are the new favorite dog of morons everywhere.
A big portion of the dumb questions lately involve Chihuahuas (spelled Chiwawa, or worse) and I am curious as to why all the sudden EVERYBODY has a Chihuahua. Did I miss something, or is it the dang Paris Hilton thing?

What is it with humans and our pets. We are the only species on the planet who has the desire to have a pet, or cares about the development, safety and well begin on other animals/species. You wouldn't find a chimpanzee for example trying desperately to potty train the local kitty, or a gorilla caring very much if the local pack of dogs gets fed today, so what exactly is it with us humans and out pets.

I fill her large bowl at least 3 times per day. Sometimes she lies down by her bowl and just drinks. She has a play and then gets tired . Her weight is fine and she eats well dry food. Is this normal?. I was thinking Diabetes but isnt this in older dogs?

I have two cats that never go outside. Their yearly shots are coming up due so I was wondering if its necessary to get their shots since they are not exposed to rabies or other animals. Do indoor cats require all the shots that a cat outside would require?

two weeks ago i went to Wisconsin to go on a camping trip for two weeks. Some of my familialy memebers were wachitng the house and our pets. I have a girl cat that I keep up stairs and my uncle that lives in the basment has a boy cat. We have been keeping them away from eachother for obvius reasons. My cat rikku was fine for about a week after i left. but then one the second week she started acting weird like crying all the time really loud and then when my famlie would feed her she wouldn't want them to go. Sometimes she would run out of the romm when they wront looking ans run to the basment door. One of my younger cousins didnt' know that the two cat weren't supposed to be together and let hem in the basement for the whole night. both cats are getting to be 5 mounths old now and when my aunt and uncle when down into the basement the kitties were doing the naughty. since then rikku has been hiding in random places and wanting my attshoins all the time. should i be worried.
