When he slips off of something(like rocks or a log that is in tank) he just stays on his back and doesn't try to get up. He just lies there til I pick him up. He's acting normal otherwise, I'm sure he's eating. What could be going on?

I need desperate help!!!!! Both of my fantail goldfish are about 3 inches long and in a 20-gallon tank. One of the fish's tail keeps wanting to go up if he lays still, and the other ones is also sitting at the bottom except his tail doesn't want to go up like the other's.

I've read about mashed, soft peas. We tried feeding them that but they won't eat the peas or their "Top Fin Goldfish Flakes."

We have some plastic plants, a mini-colosseum with air bubbles that shhot out of it, and blue aquarium rocks. The plants have a brown stuff that weren't there when we first bought them. We've had our goldfish for 1 year now, and they have been fairly well. There used to have two other goldfish that lived in the tank but died shortly after we got them (they got here sick).

The fish look healthy but they just sit at the bottom of the tank as if "bored." We don't know how to test the water temperature and we don't have a water heater.

PLEASE HELP QUICKLY!!!

I have a 9 month old german sheperd/pit bull. And she is drooling all of the sudden. She has never done this before. Its not like foam drool or anything its just...slime. But she seems to do it when she is sleeping. She is inside all day with air conditioning, so i dont think she is too hot. But anyone have any idea what this is or could be?

We adopted a 1 year old Min Pin/Doxen about 2 months ago. House training him has been extremely difficult. During the day and evening when we are home he is fine and will go outside to do his business. However in the morning if we are still in bed he will go down stairs and poop or pee right in front of the laundry room.
We have done everything we can think of. From punishing him but sticking his nose in it and putting him out side to cleaning the carpets to get the smell out.
We have another dog who is three and we had no problem training her. They have a doggie door to go in and out of the as they please and he knows its there, he uses it all the time. We are lost for what to do can anyone help!?

My dog is pregnant and has been dripping clear, mucus-like stuff (her mucus plug) for about 40 hours and i was wondering up to how long can this last before the hard contractions begin?? I have dogs who have delivered puppies b4 but it hasn't ever taken them this long. She has her colostrum (milk) in already and she has had it for aproximately 10 days. She is a large dog and this is her second time having puppies. I believe she mated around the 1st of June. Please only replys from experienced dog owners or vets or other kinds of dog professionals. Thank u in advance!

I have a goldfish at home and I'm not sure whether if it is a fantail or a ryukin. Is there a distinct difference between the two? Thanks in advance.

Alllllll too often, well hourly anymore it seems,

People are posting on here wanting advice for some bratty horse vice and when seeking professional help is recommend, they totally freak.

How do you think the professionals learned? Trial and error? They learned from other professionals. If its a money thing, then why have a horse in the first place to ruin beyond all means? Just because you get a horse, you can pet horse and you can brush it, doesn't constitute you being a trainer.

Also, why post vet questions and basically same thing, I don't have the money, I just want to see if someone had advice, I will wait a while etc. There is a reason there are vets people.....

I would love to hear why ppl writing in here about training and vet questions and then are so against it, are????

I know this is probably strange to worry about, but my cat has a dog-like personality and thrives on attention (and lots and lots of food!) Do cats get sad?

after the death of sherbet my goldfish my mate said she had a fish given to her but didnt want it.... so she brought it round to mine to replace my sherbet... this fish is strange looking, he has whiskers which come out from his lower abdomen and is rather flat. he is silver light blue and has patches of darker blue round his entire body. i cant find any pictures that resemble him.... any help will be appreciated. he is boring though.. just likes to sit by his plants all day.

Recently I purchased a Black and Red Oranda Goldfish. I have done some research on the breed. When I got my Goldfish (Helio) he was a beautiful golden red with a black stripe down his back and on the tips of his tail and dorsal fin. It's been a few months and now his black coloring is gone. He is just one solid color (Red). I understand that the breed has a helmet-like growth on their heads and it grows as they mature, but can the color change as well?

I also have a Calico Ryukin Goldfish and a Pleco in the same tank.
