Will this problem solve itself as her lower jaw grows? I worry that the lower canines are coming in, inside of the uppers. The upper jaw is about 1/3rd inch longer than the lower one at this time, and the lower one is also narrower than the upper.

Due to physical limitations, our dog is not able to properly clean herself. She continues to develop skin rashes and infections... I'm looking for suggestions of how to help her skin so she doesn't continue to develop infections. Would baby wipes work? I've been using mild water and a cortizone treatment that we have from other skin issues - but I'm looking for suggestions of something quick and simple to help keep her comfortable.

My goldfish became caught between the filter and the wall of the fish tank. I managed to free him, but now all the scales under his belly have fallen off (or been scraped off). I have added some antibiotics to the tank to help protect the area...but will they ever grow back ? and if so do you know how long it usually takes?
Thanx

People with allergies?

I'm allergic to pet dander, but I need a dog to protect my house from the evil cats who invade our backyard at night and leave nasty surprises in the morning.

Ram, Green Tiger Barb, Betta, blond guppy, Patrizi Killifish, Sailfin Molly, Celebes Rainbow, Splashing Tetra, and True Rummy Nose tetra, i'm buying a larger tank and i have been looking at fish, i have read about all of them and i think that all the temperments on them were peaceful, and maybe a couple semi-aggressive ones, is that a bad combination?

I had asked a question earlier about giving my dog too much of her meds. If I'm asking a question here, wouldn't you think it was for a reason?
Reason #1 It was 4am. If Devora knows a vet open at 4am, please tell me.
Reason#2 quick answer
Reason#3 more than one response feed back.

Before you are quick to jump down someone's back by saying "take her to a vet", "Call a vet", or anything like that, consider THE TIME ZONE! EVERYONE is NOT on your time zone!!

my good neighbour's daughter has owned a jack russell since it was 3 months. it is now 1.5 yrs old. she has taken care of the dog by herself with her mother helping with some payments of food etc. she took it to the vet for its first three shots which she paid most of and she worms it every 3 months and gives it heartworm tablets. she take it for a walk immediately after school as she has to leave it in a crate while she's at school. she trained it to obey her and her biggest success was training her dog to come to her. she has also taught him cute tricks to perform. her mother has full-time work and cannot do much to help out. she takes it to the park every weekend for an hour or more and feeds it everyday, plays with it and gives it attention. yet she can still fit in homework time, her own time, tv time and school. AND THIS GIRL IS ONLY 14!!
her mother was telling me this yesterday and i found it remarkable that such a young girl could demonstrate such responsiblity. how about u?

I've got 4 Blue Gouramis in with my 2 preg Platies. Will the Gouramis eat the Platie fry? Everybody seems to be getting along great. They all just seem to mind their own business. I'm just worried that there will be a massacre after the fry are born.

The active ingredients are Glucosamine Hydrochloride(shellfish source) 500mg and Manganese 8.6mg and Vitamin E 5IU.

She has an appointment for the VET already scheduled for her torn ACL tomorrow at 6pm.

I don't mean Barking Orders at IN GERMAN...

I mean like......

Have you girls been staying out of mischief?
how are you? having a nice afternoon in the yard?
conversating.

or when crow caws at you and you stop and look at him and say....
"you talking to me?"

Our two cats are ate up with fleas. We've given them at least 3 flea baths and got them flea collars, but they still have fleas. Is there anything else that we can do to get rid of the fleas, or should we take them to the vet?

My cat is only like two years old and today and yesterday he's been acting word. Yesterday he walked into my room and stated sniffing my clothes(they were on the floor) and then he went to a shett and peed on it but my sister slapped on the but and he just stood in the half way under my bed and still on the sheet peeing. And today I was on the couch and he layed down next to me(it like never does that) and then he peed and after he did he got off the couch and started cleaning himself. What could it be. My mom is saying that he's spraying for territory(I have another cat that we had for about 4 months) but he doesn't hiss at her or anything. Thanks.

The problem is that I'm at college so whenever I go on breaks for a long period of time (Thanksgiving and Christmas) I would not be around to clean/feed anything alive, like fish, reptiles, or small mammals. Plus, when I graduate in 9 months I'd have to safely transport whatever is in the tank across the country.

My mom suggested a terrarium, but I already have a bunch of potted plants so I don't really need or want more.

My sisters suggested a diorama of sorts, but I can't think of anything worth spending money on to set up - if I'm going to spend money it better be worth the investment!!

Does anyone have any suggestions keeping those few issues in mind?
