She's part rat terrier and part miniature pinscher, and she's well fed so I don't think it's because she's hungry. But she's obsessed with trash! If I put it under the sink, she will whine and cry at the cabinet, trying to get in. Sometimes I'll see her dragging a sheet of xerox paper around! She doesn't beg for human food when we're eating. It's almost like she enjoys being sneaky and "naughty." What's up with her??

My cat's got two of the same toys I haven't seen him play with in months. They're (now as well as before, when he was still playing with them) on or next to his food plate every morning. Any ideas why?
His dry food's on top of the ice box and he sits looking at it and me and meowing. Does he think the toy causes the food to make it to the plate? Or....

Do you know what kind of frog this is? Does his enclosure need to be bigger? Does it need filteration or can I just do water changes? He has heat, but I don't know the temp I don't have a thermometer....and most of all, what should I feed him! He won't eat the little minnow I gave him, or a cricket, or a fly....does he eat plants???

My friend's chihuahua is due next week with her first litter. She had diarriah a few days ago but is better now. But today her rectum is very swollen and she is walking around like she needs to make a BM and licking the area constantly. It is very painful to her. Do dogs get hemorroids? Any suggestions on how to make her feel better?

i have a 5 month old great dane puppy. he's usually a very hyper and all-in-your-face-wanting-kisses kinda dog.

ever since friday night he has vomited at least twice a day. the vomit is a runny brown liquid (assuming its dog food!). he has diarhea that has a couple solid chunks in it but the rest is teh brown runny liquid. there is NO blood in his poop (thank god).

he's not eating much at all and i hafta force him to drink. i've been feeding him ice cubes like crazy because he loves them.

he won't get up and play, he literally lays around and sleeps. normally when someone walks in teh front door, Duke is right there jumpin up and barking. but instead, he's been laying around doing nothing.

i'm kinda worried. If he's not better monday i'm taking him to the vet.

but if anyone has any ideas as to what it could possibly be, it'd be greatly appreciated!!

Some of my fish contracted Ick disease I think, because my fish have white salt grain size spots on their fins and body. But they don't seem affected by the spots, no rubbing against rocks, nothing. Recently, I treated the tank with medication, called Super Ick Plus. It came in a vile and I put the appropriate amount of drops in the tank. How long does should it take before I should consider new medication or another dosage? What medication works the best and where can you buy it, does it rid Ick disease from the tank ?

I have two spur-thighed tortoises that I have had for a year and a half. I've had them since they were babies. I am afraid my youngest may be blind or partially blind. Although in her (talullah) pen she is very active, she constatnly hits the wall or the other tortoise (rosalie). When I take her outside or let them roam in the house (supervised of course) Talullah will not move except for a step or two. She seems unable to see when we place food in front of her, only eating it if we hit it against her mouth. If she hears me drop food, she kind of roots around like a baby looking for it and depending on what i'm feeding her can make quite a mess all over her face. She startles easy when i pet her, although she is the more loveable of the two and has recently she began using her nose to smell things and then bump them with her head like her food even my leg. She tries to eat it then jumps back if I move and she realizes its me. Any suggestions would be appriciated.

Okay well my cat had her kittens Augest 10, around 11 pm. She had 3 orange tabbys. They are 2 days old, as of today. But the problem is, there is a runt. The two bigger ones are pushing it out of the way, and the runt just ends up laying in the corner by itself. Today I noticed it was breathing hard. It looked as if it had a stuffy nose. So I read some articles and it said that newborn kittens, can only feed by smell. And obviously this little kitten couldnt smell cuz it's nose was stuffed. So I wiped his nose, and turned on the shower in the bathroom really hot. Then I sat in there with the kitten in the steam, so it would clear his nose up. I also fed him KMR ( kitten milk replacment) And at first he didnt drink it, but within 5 minutes, he was latched on to it. Should I continue these feedings? If so, how much, how often, and how much should he weigh, at 2 days? The kitten seems to be a little under weight, and is weak. The mother cleans it but the kitten just isnt nursing from her.

I had this problem about 2 yrs ago with the same cat and it was such a nightmare. I had to put plastic all around the house and it took some time for the problem to stop. The latest episode started when I left my bedroom door closed and the cat was inside and wasn't able to use her basket and now it's urinating on the couch WHAT CAN I DO TO STOP THIS (i have tried sprays, don't work) because I think this time I may have to get rede of the cat and don't want to do that for I've had this cat for almost 10yrs. Any advice would be great.

I have put up feeders for the squirels and they keep comming to my bird feeders to eat up all the food. I don't mind them eating too, but they have become little piglets! They eat untill all the bird feed is gone waisting alot of it on the ground. I have even put out the sunflower seeds that they like and they still come back for my bird feeders.
