The reason I ask is because I have little plasic toy figurines I would like to use ... I didn't know if it was okay? Do they have to be specially made for aquariums? Thanks!

I moved home a month ago after being on my own for a month, and brought my two female cats with me (they're a year old). The problem lies with my mom's 8-year old female cat, who doesn't want them in 'her' house. I keep my cats in my room all day (their food and litter is in there), so when anyone gets home after work, we let them out and they run around and get their energy out like they're supposed to. Any time they encounter my mom's cat, they get into hissing fights and 'bat' each other with their paws. It hasn't gotten really bad yet, but it's literally been four weeks since we moved there, and it hasn't gotten any better. Any suggestions how we can improve the situation? Has anyone else gone through this, and if so, how long did it take for the dust to settle??

told me their dog could not be spayed for this reason.I just kept thinking that miniature breeds get spayed so why not a standard sized dog.My concern is the risk of Pyometra for this lovely dog.If you have any animal technician training or veterinarian experience I'd appreciate your input.This is not my dog but she is a sweetheart. Thanks for any insite you can give me.

My beautiful cat whom I've had for seventeen years was put to sleep last night by a vet.

For a while she'd been going downhill, but was still so, so loving. Only that morning she had jumped on my bed for a snuggle.

Late yesterday I had discovered she'd vomited a clear, foamy vomit. I also noticed blood drops on the floor - she had blood in her urine and couldn't control the dripping. As any responsible pet owner would, I rushed her to an emergency vet clinic. I was then told that if I was to medicate her, it would only prolong her life, not make her better. I was given the option of euthanasia and after assessing my fear of losing her, to her pain, I chose the right option: to have her put to sleep.

It happened so fast and I'm shocked. I just NEED to know if I didn't chose to have her put to sleep, would have the blood in the urine have stopped? Did I make the wrong decision? I just miss my cat so much and would like to hear from anyone who has experienced this.

My mother is finally letting me get an indoor puppy but it can shed alot. So, she said either a chihuahua, dashound or yorkie. I need some information from current or former owners of the above breeds such as shedding, whether the bark alot or not, and if they are overall good dogs.

during the month i couldnt care for it because of my living situation. She knew i would come back to get my dog, but i feel somewhat bad for asking for my dog back.
I've had the dog for almost a year and i was afraid she would get close, my dog is a chihuahua and he is very sweet and loving.
My daughter wants the dog back too. She is seven.
Would I get more sympathy and understanding if i told her my daughter wants the dog back?
I should offer some compensation of course for her trouble.
How can i break the news to her, that it's time i get my doggy back?

I have four cats. Two of which were mine and the other two which are Devon Rexes, came with my financee when he moved in this past January. All four cats seem to get along fine now. The cats range in age from my neutered black and white male who is 3, my spayed female calico who is 2 and my finacees two spayed female Devon's that are sisters and are 3 years old. The Devon's have started walking on me and meowing in the middle of the night while I am trying to sleep. I'm at a loss what to do. If I pen them, as well as the other cats, out of the bedroom they paw and cry a the bedroom door. The Devon's do play with each other and the other two cats in the house. They started doing this a few weeks ago while my financee was at work. He works third shift. Now they do it even on nights he has off and is home with me. They have an autofeeder that is full of dry food, a cat water foutain and get canned food every morning.

House flies tend to meed their doom in my fish tank and I usually scoop them out with a net, but today I found my little skirted tetra with one in his mouth. He's having trouble with it, but he's not about to let it go. Is this okay? Can my fish eat flies?

Last Tuesday, I was gone for about 20-25 mins & when I came home I saw the left side of my dog's cheek was really swollen. It' s very near his eye, like high on his cheekbone. I figured he got stung by a bee as he had been outside (I have a doggie door) while I was away. I gave him 2 doses of Benadryl, but the next morning it was worse. I took him to the vet (clinic with volunteer vets to help cost down). Anyhow, she said he had a fever & was concerned that swelling could be infection from something in his gum, but gums looked good. She took a needle to the 'lump' to see if there was any pus & there wasn't. She gave him a cortisone shot, gave me some pain meds & antibiotics & told me to bring him back if it didn't get better. brought him back Friday. Different vet. She thought the same as first, but instead of a needle she took SHEARS and DUG into the lump. He is WAY worse. The swelling is so bad now he can't open his eye. Should I take him to a new vet? There's a sore where she dug.

I have a new 55 Gallon All-Glass aquarium. I bought it with a wooden stand and canopy.

Ok, question ... the stand is basically a cabinet. For a 55 gallon full of water, its going to be very heavy. Is it a safe design to leave the stand completely hollow? The only thing supporting the tank is around the bottom perimiter. Couldn't the bottom just collapse?

I have a solid black petite cat who I've named Rio Negra--because she's black and we found her at the river. We call her Ree for short. Me and my partner make up "Ree-words" for example..

What does Rio call her claws and teeth? -- cutler-ree
What is Rio's favorite branch of the government? --Judiciar-ree
What do you call it when Rio participates in a council? --Advisor-ree...
What do you call this list of Ree-words? --A dictionar-ree...

Get it? We do this a lot and it usually makes us laugh..but when I try to explain it.... I usually get a blank sort of look..

What do you think? I'm just weird huh? NO MEANIES!!!
