Some one is taking me to court for a $500 stud fee for their unregistered male chihuahua claiming that I should pay them even though my female is spayed, because we had him for a few days. I know that it is a BS claim, but would an unregistered chihuahua even get that much? And they are just suing for a "stud fee".

I am sympathetic to her pain, but am concerned. The medicines to keep her comfortable are expensive and I cannot afford them. Without the medicines, she is crying out so loud that neither she, the other cat, or me and my husband can sleep. Is the idea of putting her down out of line? I've spent $700 of rent money on vet bills, and have no solutions. I love this little kitty, but she is consistently uncomfortable, and now, so am I. Any thoughts?

recently added 5 corydora, 1 of which did not make it past the third day. 1 other is not doing so well either. I have a 55 gal tank and have been changing 10gal every 4 - 5 days. There is one other corydora, an older one which does not seem to be concerned with the younger ones. I also have 3 small tetras. The one corydora appeared to not care about food and would hide alot more than the others. His barbells seem to be injured.

PH level is around 8
Nitrites are nearly 0.5
Nitrates are nearly 0
Ammonia is 0

I am concerned and want to know if placing the cory in a small 2 gallon hospital tank would help. He is not eating

I have two small slider turtles (a 3-inch yellow-belly and a 2-inch red-ear) in a 46-gallon tank with mixed cichlid fish. The yellow-belly has some white fungus on his head, which I just noticed a few hours ago. I read that this may be because I haven't been giving them enough sunlight, and I really don't. But here's my question: Would it be a good idea to leave them in the sun for a few hours a day? I live in Florida and it's over 90 degrees outside. The water temp in their tank is around 82 degrees. I also gave them some new food for the first time today, I don't know if that would cause the fungus. Any help would be appreciated.

I was at a party and the subject of dog breeds came up. My friend has a chocolate lab female who has come into season and wants to breed her with another guy's black lab. She said she could breed these two dogs and it would be possible to get yellow labs, or chocolates or black labs. She said you can breed ANY two types of labs as long as they're purebred and they can still be registered adn full blood and that the colors dont' mix. (In other words you can breed two different color labs and you'll still get all of one type or another). Is this true?? I just dont' see how you can breed two yellow labs and get a black lab or a choc. lab. Please advise. If there's a vet out there ore a breeder you get best answer for being thorough.

i tried feeding her romaine lettuce shreds 3 times, pieces of a banana once, carrot shreds once, and she doesnt even seem to inspect them but she gobbles up bloodworms. I havent had her more than a month but her shell looks like its pyramiding. i know young turtles are highly carniverous but she needs some plant matter. any ideas?

My 3 year old female chihuahua has been slowly starting to turn her nose up at her food. At first it would just happen once in a while; she would ignore her food, and would have to be encouraged to eat it. Once she started, however, she ate it all.

Now it is happening more often. I serve her the food, she looks at it, and then won't eat it unless I coax her by putting some at the end of my finger.

I have added her favorite treats to her food, such as pieces of carrots and fresh fruit, but I don't want to "reward" her behavior.

Do some dogs just get more picky as they age? She is otherwise healthy and active, and she will eventually eat what she is given.

So I'm at my friends house and my mom calls me and tells me that one of my cats caught a baby rabbit and that they're treating it. They said some of the fur was ripped off, so I thought it was a minor injury. I come home and see it, it's back is like..skinned completely. It's alive and all, I just don't know how to treat it. Any suggestions on what to do? If we help the bunny, I'm allowed to keep it, and even if I couldn't keep it, I'd still want to treat it.

Please help.

My little kitten is about 7-8 weeks old and i haven't noticed any black stuff or anything strange about his ears other then when he scratches them he meows. I've looked inside of them but i really haven't seen a thing. Is it normal or should i just take him to a vet and see if there is something else that might be causing him to meow when he scratches his ears?
