hi, i adpoted a 5 year old desexed male ridgeback about 3 months ago, the family who owned him, had him and another dog at the time. They got along really well. At the moment he is the only dog we own. I have been taking him to obedience training and he is generally good around other dogs and wants to play with them. I cant help but feel mean for letting him live alone - with that being said he is not neglected - we go for a drive to the beach every Friday and have lunch together - he goes for a swim and then we go for a long walk along the sand together. He goes to obedience school 2 times a week and also enjoys lots of car rides. He is an inside dog and has his own bed in my room. So i know he has human company. My other reason for thinking about getting a secend dog (a female puppy) is that i am really enjoying this whole obedience thing and would like to consider competitive obedience. i know i could go further with a dog trained at a young age. I wouldnt love either any less.

I think that my fancy goldfish had finrot. So I was told to give him melafix. He has been taking that for a week so today should be his last treatment. He seemed to look much better for a few days, but now it seems like his fins are getting a little white again. Is this normal? Or is he getting it again? I haven't changed any of the water this week because of the medicine, but I plan on doing it tomorrow. Why does this keep happening and how can I prevent it?

I fed my dog beneful for a mere 2 days and it made her sick and she threw it up all over my beige carpet and I am not able to get the red out of the carpet from the ungodly dye they put in the red pieces of food. I called beneful and asked them If I could be reimbursed for carpet cleaning or at least for the amount of all the carpet cleaning products I have bought. Do you think they should reimburse me? I have tried everything on the market to remove these stains but alas it has ruined my carpet. So do you think they should reimburse me for the cost of cleaning or repairing my carpet?

I have two 7" Comets (one male, one female) living in a 45 gallon tank, with a 'small scat' ... but yesterday the scat died, and my husband thought that the tank was 'too cloudy' so he took the goldfish out and put them in another tank ... but he didn't empty the 45 gallon tank. This morning, we looked, and there are about 100 'teeny tiny' fish swimming at the top of the tank. Both goldfish were acting 'strange' and we did wonder if Phish (the female) was 'going broody' ... now they are both 'playing happily' in the smaller tank, but we aren't sure whether we should just 'clean the 45 gallon tank' (and kill those tiny fish, or wash them down the drain) or try to 'scoop them into a 'cage' and let them 'grow' until they are 'big enough' to be put into the 45 gallon tank. HELP!!! We're doing 'nothing' until we KNOW what those 'baby fish' are!

He is about a year old, neutered, and playful and loving. He eats a lot, poops a lot (once every day and sometimes twice), but his stomach is hard ALL THE TIME! He has been treated for Guiardia twice and his stomach has been x-rayed once. They told me that his stomach was hard at the time because it was full of gas. Could it just be hard a lot now because of gas? He doesn't seem to be upset when I squeeze it. What do you guys think could be the problem? I thought maybe IBS, but he does not vomit at all and really never has diarrhea, except when I treated him for guiardia.

When he is in his crate, he covers up his food with his blanket. Do you think he doesnt want it? He doesnt mind when i put him in his crate so it shouldnt be out of frustration.

She is a small breed (pomeranian) and is 27 weeks (so about 6.5 months)... she is really getting tired of her puppy kibble and i know she likes her adult kibble... is it okay to give her adult kibble at about 8 months? what if i also give her some puppy wet food (she loves that!) to balance it out?

My dog must either be sick or ate something bad but he's had diarrhea when I got home from work. I just got him from the SPCA a week ago. He's about a year old. His energy level is the same as always and he's not acting different. When should i call or take him to the vet?

My grandmas cat just passed away from diabeites (wich i heard is caused by obeasity) so now im worried for my cats health.
My cat is 41/2 years old and weighs 13lbs.
After her kitten stage i moved into a studio apartment so she didnt have much room to excercise, she ate all the time and just slept.
well I have been living in a house for a while now and she gets to excercise and I play with her often but she is not loosing any weight. I feed her the reccomended ammount on the back of the cat food bag. She eats the purina natural cat chow in the green bag. see link for details.
what can i change her food to so she can loose weight with out feeling hungary all the time?
she does pretty good with food changes so im not too worried about her liking the food im just worried about her feeling hungary.

anyone have some suggestions?
I am looking for something that works good and does not cost too much.
thanks!
