My cat found a small toad (common toad found in northeast US) and may have licked it - he started foaming at the mouth and threw up. We tried to rinse out his mouth. He has eaten a little bit and drinken some water since - seems to be ok.

do we need to go to the vet or do anything else?

I feel so upset by what I'm about to tell you. I don't take my dog to be groomed very often, only about twice a year. My dog is very small, he is a pomeranian, so he has lots of hair and when it gets hot I like to have him groomed. I took him to a very well known pet supply chain. The guy that groomed him cut him and didn't say a word about it. I picked him up and took him home. I noticed he was acting strange, he kept shaking and cleaning the same spot and he would yelp when he was picked up. I finally checked him over and when I more closely examined him by moving his thick hair around, I noticed a huge laceration with meat showing! I was shocked and rushed him to my vet and it required 7 stitches to close the wound! I was so upset and shaking, that someone would do this and try to cover it up. My vet thinks they might have tried to use liquide bandage to close part of it which was useless on this size wound.

MY 2 month old kitten was left home alone for the first time today while I had to go to work for 5 hours....I got home and she was limping badly so I rushed her over to the vet and he said he does not think anything is broken since she is putting some pressure on it and he said if it is still like that on MOnday then bring her back...I was planning on attending a bridal shower tonight and dont want to back out but dont want to leave her alone...should I put her in her carrier while I am gone so she has minimum movement?

My female dog was spayed Friday. I picked her up today and she seemed fine, happy to see us. After returning home I started thinking about pain meds for her. The dr. never gave me any. Is this normal? She had surgery. There should be some pain.

I have two in two tanks. One is "large flat" the other is "large tall".
http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=9780
I'd like to get them into the same tank, with a filter and more than 2-3" of water. These turtles are about 5" and I know they will grow much larger. I'm thinking at least a 30 breeder that is 36x18x12. Is this enough?

I know 2 people who keep angelfish successfully in a community tank. I would really like one but worried it may eat neons. Does buying a young angel avoid this or is it too risky?

I'm planning on owning a Chihuahua (toy-sized preferably).
I looked at this one store yesterday and this morning by my area (called Pet Paradise). Got weird feelings when I first entered, long story short.. I researched this morning and found out that THAT store was held up with many complaints and law suits about their pups and dogs being sold sick. And saw at RipOffReport.com the many complaints about the business.
There was this one puppy (Chihuahua at 2 months old) that I fell in love with! I'd purchase her, but she was $1600 (and plus I was only 'looking around' for the time being) and after my research I don't think I'd go there again..

I just want to know what can I look for or what I should keep an eye on when buying or adopting my FIRST puppy.
Some PRO's/CON's, what they SHOULD look like, WHERE'S the best place to buy one, what's kinds of documentations to look for, etc etc..

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

My ryukin adores peas, and I love giving him them but I dont know how often I should give him treats. I dont want him to become overweight or have nothing but "snack" food. How often can I give him special food and treats (tubifex worms, romaine lettuce, peas, cucumber...etc..) and what sorts of foods to fantails usually like...no "junkfood" plz:)
