He was neutered on Wednesday. I thought that everything was going alright, I have him in a cone because he just wouldnt leave the wound alone without it. yesterday it looked like things were healing up nicely. I went to work today, and when I got home there was a little bit of blood on the cone, and it was clear that he had irritated the wound. Its not swollen, or bleeding but it looks like a fresh wound, and its pink in color. It seems he's found a way to manuveur his body even with the cone to lick the area. What can I do? I have him wearing a little towel right now taped around his nether regions, but I know that in about 10 minutes he will have that ripped off. Help!!

I have planted 5 gallon tank and I wanted to put 2, 3 at the most, male guppies in it. I do not know that much about guppies so I was wondering if male guppies would fight each other or could this setup work?

What is their temperment?
Do they do will with other animals (small dog and cat)?
What kind of medical problems do they face?
Will it be okay in an apartment?

Also any other information you have would be wonderful - thanks so much!!

Over the summer, I have been busy, and have not changed my water. The water quality has plummeted, and I want to fix this. I have a 20 gal. tank with 1 gold wonder killie and a 10 gal. tank with some tetras. I know I can't change the water quality to fast or it will be really bad. How do I go about saving my fish.

I have a balk and orange cat. Super cute.
I was thinking of names for it and can't find the perfect name.
This is what I have come up with so far:
Samoa or Nania
Any cute unique names are welcome.

Another question for my friend. She wants to know if getting one ferret or two would be better for her. She is going into middle school, does no extracurricular activities,(which gives her a lot of free time.) She originally wanted one ferret, but now she thinks that ferret might get lonely while she is at school and doing her homework. She also switches from one house to another. Would getting two ferrets solve this problem? Should she take them from house to house with her, or should she just let her parent take care of them while she's gone?
If you answer this, thanks. I know its really long, but my friend made me type it all. :)

Maricopa County sheriff's deputies found three dead dogs and seized 12 undernourished pit bulls Friday from the Cave Creek-area home of rapper-turned-actor DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons. One of the three dead dogs dug up from the backyard was burned. in 1999. Simmons pleaded guilty to animal cruelty. A search warrant served also turned up drug paraphernalia, a cache of weapons and several cars with license plates that could not be traced back to the vehicles they were on.The dogs found inside Simmons' home did not have the proper food or water. Some of the dogs were tied up outside the house without water.

"We have to send a message," said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio "that we're not going to put up with animal cruelty, no matter who they are."

My dogs come and go out their doggy door. We have a fenced yard, but I don't suppose that stops a dog napping.

We are constantly cleaning the tank, changing the filters, doing 1/2 water changes & using anti algae solution, but we are unable to get the green algae under control. Our goldfish are fighting & biting each other. I have seperated one fish as it is exhausted & has lost a lot of scales. Can someone please provide us with some advice as we are new to keeping goldfish?

I have just had about a hundred Zebra Danio eggs start hatching. They are not swimming yet. I know not to feed them til they swim.
I bought powdered egglayer fry food but I think this will still be too big the first week or two. I called many pet stores in this area and nobody has any liquid food.
I appreciate any tips and answers to the original question. I have had fish and many live births for 15 years but this is the first time I tried to raise egg layer fish from fry. All I have googled does not help with this problem, just gives general directions.

Also, I bought a small air powered sponge/carbon filter. When will they be strong enough to put that in? It is weak. You can see it just barely pull small particles into it. I have it running in my main tank to get seeded by bacteria. I want to keep the water quality as smooth as possible. No spikes or drops from water changes! I had to set this baby tank up FAST, I was not totally prepared.

Thank you experts.

My children & I were eating dinner when our 3 year old Malamute went into the kitchen and started eating chicken out of the pan on the stove. I went into the kitchen and told him no in a deep voice, while pointing at him. He growled and bit me on the wrist. The bite is very small and not deep, but I have never seen him show aggression like that (he growls on occassion, but NEVER snaps or bites). He is a part of our family and we love him very, very much. He has always been the sweetest dog in the world, but as a mother I am concerned that he will be aggressive with my kids in the future. Any advice?
