Is it okay to feed my dog the yellow part of the egg after it's been hard boiled? It's all protein anyway right?

I have a saltwater tank with live rock a hermit crab and a choc. chip star, I recently noticed tiny what looks to be star fish on the fake plant leaves. I just wondered if anyone knew where they may have came from the look like what I believe is called brail star fish... They are so small and light that the current from the filter will blow them away and kill them... I have noticed from what i have seen so far about 6-8 of them but some have dies from the current.. Also I have noticed tiny what looks to be shrimp or bugs that look to be eating the shedding from my crab is this cause we have not had fish in the tank in so long?

i have a dog (unsure of the breed...bit of collie n sheppard) he is 6 months now and i have had him for 4months now. The first time I took him home he ate some cat food and now does not want to touch his food. I know certain foods are bad for dogs but he enjoys everything from chicken to cherries to yogurt. I have tried everything even making homemade ground turkey and brown rice (which he enjoys sometimes). Is there anything that i should try? He is very active running atleast 2 hours a day and is very obedient and trully is a good boy. He dosent seem to be starving or hungry and he is growing ok.
please help -a concerned mom

There is a huge litter of white rats at my local animal shelter and I really want to adopt one. I've been researching about pet rats for about 8 years and I've finally convinced my parents that I can take care of one. Is there any specific cage that is good for rats? What kind of toys do they like (I know toys they can chew on, but any more specific suggestions)? Does anyone have any helpful hints about caring for ratties (I'm going to buy one of those pet rat care books, but still)? Thank you!

We got a new guinea pig about 24 hrs ago. I've read everything I can find online about what she should n shouldnt eat, play with etc..She's eating fine and seems to be a happy piggy. My only concern is water. The water level in the bottle doesnt seem to have moved. Even after her 'floor time' (exercise/play) in a large pen with a different water bottle she didnt drink. How much do piggys drink? Do they need specially treated water? Should I be worried or is she possibly still settling in?

Can cats get it? I have an 8 yr. old, very overweight (he's fixed) cat, and i've noticed latley that he's been drinking alot of water. But he seems healthy otherwise! He plays with the kitten, and dosent seem to lack in energy. Should I be concerned enough to call the vet?

I would like to know at what point, you constitute yourself being a professional?

At what point when you sign your "source" at the bottom with professional horseman, what gives you the confidence to do so?

A few weeks ago, I had my first batch of mystery snail babies. The two parents are sort of a gold/brown mix, and they produced about 11 babies that survived (some may have become food for my african frog). Anyway, the babies are getting pretty big now. They are about the size of a pencil-top eraser (or bigger). Two of them are completely white (somewhat transparent) and one is completely gold. The rest, all equal in size or smaller than the pure white and gold babies, all look to be a brown & gold mix, like the parents. Can I expect them to stay this color as they mature? Are they considered albinos? Is there an increased interest in albino mystery snails? And, if so, what can I expect if I keep the baby albinos and continue to breed them? My current plans were to trade the babies to pet stores for fish food, carbon, etc. Will the color anomolies increase the "tradeability"?

I understand that its probably sad but it hasn't ate all day. He was with the older woman for about 4 years and she gave him to me because she knew I would take care of it. I've been trying to play with it for hours! It still just lies there and looks sad. He only lifts his head when someone is at the door. His food is out and he sniffed and licked it a few times but thats all. He's a house trained miniature schnauzer by the way...What can I do to get him to respond to me? How can I cure his sadness?

I went to the vet bcuz my roomies (who's out of town) dog had a laceration on his leg that needed to be fixed. They tried to charge my roomate 400 dollars to clean the wound, stitch him up, and for antibiotics. Knowing this was a lot of money, I called my roomate and he flipped. Said he wouldn't pay more than 150. (In his defense, they were wanting to do all kinds of expensive blood work and stuff that even I really figured was unnessasary.)
So I ask them what the bare minimum was that would fix the problem. They come back and say that they can cut out the blood work and do it for 110. My roomate (via phone) agrees, and looong story short the place was slammed. The vet gave the wrong instructions for the medicine (the dog could have oded if I hadn't asked her if it were right), and they didn't even stitch him up like they said! My bf was late for school, so when we left I didn't bother to check the dogs bandage.
I got home, and the bandage doesn't even cover the wound.
