I have 2 cats, that are sisters. We have had them since hours old, which has been for 8 yrs. Now one of the cats, Piglet, will lay under our computer desk, and she is breathing rather hard. And her sister, Wiggles, will not leave her side and everytime Wiggles sees someone she runs up to them and starts meowing and runs back to her sister. Piglet gets up and eats but then goes back to that same exact spot. If you have any answers please tll me!!!

Ok, my cat had 5 kittens, they were all fine until a kitten died on Wednesday, and then, we thought the others were great, until .. Yesterday, another kitten died, then today, one kitten died in the morning and one in the after noon. One is left ... but it may go the same way. What I noticed that the kittens would become more faint, and stop moving around so much and then become cold and they wouldn't feed .... The last one needs to survive but it may go the same way ! Any advice for my last kitten ?

Hey there,

I got this poem from my gran when my Dog died...

A Loss Of A Companion.....

If it should be that i grow weak,
and pain should keep me from my sleep
then you must do what must be done
for this last battle can't be won.

You will be sad i understand,
don't let your grief then stay your hand
for this day more than all the rest,
your love for me must stand the test.

we've had so may happy years,
what is to come can hold no fears,
you'd not want me to suffer so,
the time has come please let me go.

Take me to where my needs they'll tend
and please stay with me till the end
hold me firm and speak to me,
until my eyes no longer see.

Please do not grieve it must be you,
who has this painful thing to do,
wev'e been so close, we two these years,
don't let your heart hold back the tears.

i just wanted to share that poem with you!

What should I do with my dog? It is a Presa whose intent in life appears to be the total destruction of the neighbourhood's cats, dogs, children and old people. HELP!!!!

Okay, so I have this friend that got a dog for Christmas. They told everyone that they did not want one and they just ignored and gave him one anyway. He is at a point in his life where it is just really difficult to deal with a dog, on top of everything else that is going on.

Besides which, this dog is very disobedient and naughty. I think a lot of that is because he cannot spend enough time with it, but nonetheless, it is a problem.

He doesn't know what to do, because he is a kind hearted person, he has tried to raise this dog, but he really, really does not want it - which I believe the dog can sense too.

I know, everyone will say to take it to the humane society or something. Well, we live in a small town and they don't have that. The only have the pound, which will kill them within a few days if they are not taken by someone else.

What do you suggest? How would you deal with it when you specifically asked NOT to get one, but that is what you were given?

I have had cichlids for a long time but have never used salt in my tank. My fish breed and seem to do just great nut I was wondering if the salt increases their life span or intensifies their colors? I have recently purchased dainichi cichlid food and it really has brought out more color in my fish. I just wanted to know if the salt might increase color too and why?
PS I have a my aquarium is between 220 and 240 (yes thats right, it is very large lol) gallons how much salt would that use and what would the approximate cost be per month?

She'll come to me for the petting and attention and then, while she's still purring and wanting to be petted in the same area, gives me a gentle bite for about 4 to 6 seconds and then lets me go... She still wants to be petted and wants the attention, I just can't think of any reason for the nibble...

Our cat sprays by all our windows and I know its because of the cats outside because for some reason there happens to be like 5-6 cats roaming around our apartment building. Every time I can so much he stops spraying for a little while but then it will start again. Does anyone think once we move and he isn't hearing these cats around that he wont spray??
Thanks!

They left this mourning and they already fed her and I think she has been sick for a while.

I took her for a walk this mourning and she kept going into the "number 2" position. Very frequently. I took a close look at the spot where she didn't appear to do business and there was blood trickling down the grass. I think she is bleeding when she urinates. She is an adult dog about six years old, spayed, female, golden retreiver and little overweight. She doesn't get very good excersise ethier. Her stool this mourning was also very watery and discolored. She is fed Purina dry and wet food. Every morning they fill her food bowl to the top with dry food and give her an entire can of wet food. (the bigger size) Thats for the day.

What do you think could be wrong? Thank you for your help.

Does anybody know what could be wrong with her? Should I take her to the vet or do you think it will pass. She has always been a sneezer but now it's a lot more frequent and they are big sneezes with snots coming out of her mouth. Anybody know anything about this?

Someone on here keeps talking about keeping dogs in captivity. How does everyone feel about this? How would your dog do in the wild?

My dog could probably catch his own food, but might easily get hit by cars if he was anywhere developed as he has a one track-mind- squirrels! bunnies! He also is a bit of a wimp and gets dominated by every dog in the dog park. This could mean death in the wild.

I believe the dog is now a domesticated animal and most could not survive in the wild. Anyone else's opinions? I would particulary like scubapair's opinion and an explanation of why he feels that way.

I'm getting my dog this Tuesday and I don't have a name. She is white with a black spot on her back and black covering her ears and the sides of her face. She looks like a panda. Any good names?

I have a 6 year old cat (recently just got a few mo. old kitten). The older cat keeps trying to eat the kittens food and vica versa, but I have been sperating the 2 so they dont eat each others food. Lately, the older cat has been sqeemish about eating his own food (still wanting to eat kitten food). So, he doesnt eat quite as much as he usually does. The past day or so, he keeps on dry heaving, almost like he has a hairball that wont come out. I am not sure what to do, or if I should take him to the vet. Please help, I am really worried.

I have a male cat that is about 16 months old and he has been neutered since he was 6 months old and has all his shots. My female cat is about 9 months old, she has all her shots and the vet asked me about getting her spayed. To me it is like a real surgery and i don't know if i want her to go through that. Both of my cats are indoor cats and since Jack is neutered, is there any need to get Jill spayed?

I might buy one and I have no experience with takng care of puppies, its breed is a maltese and it doesnt have a vaccination. I know all dogs have to have one, and I think I have to get a vet for that.. will it cost a lot of money? does it also need other kinds of shots? how often are check ups? I also aprecciate any kind of tips on how to take care of it.
