I have been told some dogs should be muzzled in public, is that right, and if so what breeds should be muzzled please.

My husband and kids are always saying that I treat my cats better than them. I don't know what they're actually driving at here. I feed the cats from a plate on the kitchen floor, they only get water to drink. They have to go toilet in a tray or they have to go outside. OK I do let them sleep on the bed but i have never made my husband or the kids sleep on the sofa. I regularly take the family travelling with me but i have never taken the cats anywhere abroad. Thay do get to sit on my knee and I pick them up for a cuddle but I did with the kids when they were small enough (now they'd crush me). Does anyone else get this type of jealousy or can you explain the phenomena?

I have a small tank with one white molly and one black molly. My room is decorated in black and white and I wanted to decorate my fishtank in those colors too. I can't find any black fake plants to put in it. Would it hurt my fish to put a plant looking thing made out of ostrich feathers?

I just saw a freshawater stingray at a pet store yesterday and was wondering if anyone had one. Are they difficult to keep? Susceptible to diseases because they are scaleless? etc etc

I've been keeping fish for about 5 months so i know all the basics and stuff. Would it work in a semi-aggressive tank?

I have a 29 gallon tank that I would like to put bettas in. I understand I can only put females together. How many is ideal for a 29 gallon? I wasn't planning on putting any other fish, or maybe just something small like neons (if thats even acceptable?). Any contribution will help. (Sorry to be so clueless! Last time I had a betta I was 11 and it sat on my dresser in a Little Mermaid aquarium)

I just bought a small 1.7gallon aquarium for my daughter. I've set it up already and will be adding the goldfish in about 24 hours. My concern is that the air filter in the aquarium is creating loads of little bubbles, right in the middle of the aquarium. Will this bother, scare, or stress the fish? Or is it normal to have so many air bubbles?

It is never usually the same dog doing the killing, it is any of them and sometimes its the mother killing them. Because they are stray, although my parents large yard is their home, they are unable to catch them to take them to the vet. The dogs are friendly and nice but they do not let you get near them. Also the dogs have the puppies in areas where we cant get to and they often move them around.

Do they see them as larger/adult dogs, cats etc? Or do they see us as a different thing which supplies them with food/entertainment?

Okay, two out of three of my goldfish I discovered had fin rot. They actaullay had it when I got them, but it was too early to tell. So, I've been treating them with Maracy-Two. The one fish, Maria, has had her fin rot go away completely. However, my other fish, Jose, seems to be getting worse. Half of his dorsal fin is black, and the black is also on the side of his back. It was not this bad even before I started the treatment!!! What should I do? Please help!!

I have 2 male gouramis in a 10 gallon aquarium and one of them attacks the other one on occasion. The one that's being attacked has his tail badly damaged to the point where he has splits in it. I was just wondering will it grow back if the other one doesn't continue to nip at it? Will the damaged gourami be susceptible to diseases? Should I break them up and put them in their own aquariums (hopefully not)? Please let me know what I can do.

I'm cat sitting for my Dad for the next few weeks. Over all the cat seems fine except I'm noticing the his stools are kind of loose (like toothpaste) and yesterday one had bright red blood in it. Should I be concerned? Should I take the cat to the vet?

They have brackish water, a place to climb out of, etc, etc. They share a tank with various other fish. The female was hanging out sideways both in and out of the air and water for about 2 days, now she's hiding in some plants. My male has been hanging out sideways too, under the water, and I thought he was dead twice, I checked him out and he moved. Now he keeps "laying" down, but isn't dead? help what is going on?????

Our cat is 17 and hyperthyroid. Now she is going blind. What can I do to help her, make life a little easier for her? We know not to move things around, but she is spotting and pooping in strange places and has been crying. At this point medical intervention is not the point, just quality of life.

We lost her sister/littermate last Christmas, and I'm sure it's just a matter of time with her.

We called the vet and they said that there really isn't anything they can do for her at this point. Does that sound right? The can was empty so she didn't have the soda, but can the metal damage her internally? Any advice would be welcome!!!

I'm pretty sure my fish have columnaris. How they got it, I just don't know. Anyway, I have some maracyn-two. Can I use that or should I get something else to treat this? Also, what can I expect for results and how do I prevent this from happening agian. I do regular water changes (50% AT LEAST once a week) and add aquarium salt to the tank.

1 - better
2 - neons
1- very small pepper cory (he looks the worst!)
