I'm noticing an alarming new trend here on Y answers and I wondered if anyone else has noticed or can clarify...? People, when responding to the "I want to breed my pet" questions say that those of us who are against it are breeders ourselves and don't want the competition...WTF? How many times do I have to explain that I am an animal shelter volunteer, I've seen healthy dogs and cats die, I get sick to death of all the jerks that don't deserve a pet, and I don't want any more homeless animals? How do I explain this to these people? All mature comments appreciated...

I have a filter that has activated carbon and I was planning to buy some fertilizer for my plants. I was wondering if the filter (bag + sponge) + the carbon will filter out the fertilizer. If yes, will a filter running without activated be less effective than one with carbon in it?

I developed a skin rash which only got better after I washed my dog in vinegar to remove the Frontline Plus I had applied to her.

I have a Betta Fish and I was wondering if I can feed it fresh vegetables, like cumber, celery, lettuce etc. I know that you can feed your Betta brine shrimp and all that good stuff. So it would help if you can tell me, thanks!

I'm really nervous for her; this is my first puppy so I don't have any experience in taking care of her after the surgery. She's going to stay over night at the vet; should I prepare special meal for her after I pick her up from the vet? Is there anything special I should do for her? I want her to be comfortable when she comes home.

i am getting new carpets in december and wanted to set up the tank soon. do you think it would be possible if i layed a thick sheet down and set the fishtank ontop of the sheet, so when the new carpet comes, all i have to do is drain a little water and pull the sheet onto the new carpet?
thanks

He's probably about the size of my thumbnail. Really tiny, I think it still has some of its tail. Has some white on his underside but for the most part hes green. Hes got really long and sticky legs.lol They put it in a pickle jar with some water, grass, rock and sticks. He's been out of his home for about three days and I dont know if the water is fresh or not. I thought you were supposed to keep it in pond water but I'm afraid that they put fresh water in there. Anyway, I dont know if it's been fed over over the past three days or what. Can I feed it it fruit and veggies?

I am thinking of purchasing this item from the as seen on tv store. Its called the shed ender. Has anyone used it? Does it really work? Because no matter what brush I use, my dog is always shedding!! don't know why. He's a chihuahua/corgi mix. He's a pretty small dog but gets his coat all over my bed when he jumps on it. Has anyone have experience with this brush?

My friend is buying a female Puggle puppy for her child. The breeder said the puppy has a Umbillical Hernia which means that there is a tiny big of fat where the umbillical cord was and that it may go away on it's own or fixed when it is spayed. We have never heard of this before and are a bit worried bcz we dont know if its long term and could cost a lot. Has anyone ever heard of this or has had a dog that has had this and is it recommended to buy the dog anyway?

my little 1 year old male maltese is, i find just a shadow of himself.
i hardly recognise him. he kind of just wanders from place to place and watches the others dogs play & is generally grumpy.
he is not eating & not as "happy" as he used to be.
he has always been picky but now he is not even eating his fav. home cooked meals.
he has cronic constiation & did have some special diets from the vet.
now i have gone to 2 different vets. they have done blood tests, x rays etc and can't find anything wrong with him.
now his symptoms are:
- sleepy
- no appetite
- nibbles at his food here and there
- doesn't play
- somewhat in a daze
- moody
- slight diarreah
- slightly swollen lymph nodes (according to doc)
and worst of all
- he all of a sudden, sometimes every day sometimes not for 2 days, squeels in absolute pain.
- he then won't lie down, jsut stays sitting.
call me paranoid about my dog but i am not imagining things! there is something wrong but what?? help!
do i look 4 another vet? help
