Around how many more days until they will be born? Also, the female has not produced any milk yet. Is there a chance she wont at this point? Her temp has been around 99 but today we checked it and shes at 98.7. Please leave any info that you can.

Info:

I have one mature 13 year old that would be fine with any dog.

The dog would be alone on an average of 8 hours (except weekends)

I am looking for a small dog, medium at most
.
I prefer very little to no shedding.

I prefer a dog that doesn't need MUCH exercise. Maybe 2 walks a day?

I may be able to put the dog in a day care but I need a dog that could stay home and not make much trouble or break anything.

I'd like a purebred.

I don't want a very aggressive dog.

I want a dog that is able to basic train. (come, sit, stay etc)

I want a dog that doesn't need another animal. I am only looking to have one dog.

Please help me if you can. Recommend any breeds that would suit most of these conditions. Any additional info needed can be provided. I would add it in here. Any help is appreciated!

Both have their pros and cons.
I have two dogs, a Yorkie and Papillon, that I brought from breeders. In this case I chose from a breeder because pure breed dogs are often more predictable personality, size, and grooming wise.

But I've also adopted from shelters. It is more rewarding and helps a dog, but has its risks of the personality or problems that dog has or will have.

So which do you prefer and why?

It looks our betta fish has a torn fin, and there is a red place (blood?) on his fin. He hasn't eaten in at least 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. I have changed his water very recently. Is there anything inexpensive or free I can do, or is the end of my fish?

I just got a 10 week old puppy. After she poos, she rubs her butt on the kitchen floor and leaves long poo lines on the floor. Why does she do that?

The guppies in my turtle tank have ick. I went to the pet store and bought CopperSafe to treat my tank. The lady told me that if I take my turtle out for a few hours while/after I treat my tank, that it will be okay to put him back in there. I am concerned, he is a hatchling mud turtle. Will it be okay to treat the fish and then put the turtle back in there around 8 hours later?

i just discovered a lump on one side of my cat's neck (she is 5 months old). it resembles and feels like a swollen gland. it doesn't seem to hurt her when i touch it. she recently got a vaccination. could that be the cause of it? do you have any other ideas?
thanks in advance

I've never had this problem before, always had cats. I have a covered cat box. I clean it every 2 days or so. But I changed brands of litter & the last 2 I bought, Scoop Away & Fresh Step, when I try scooping it out it is like trying to lift thick clay mud. It is all wet. My cats can't be peeing that much, and always before it would just turn into a solid clump that I would lift out. I changed it again 2 days ago, checked it the next day, & it wasn't mud yet but it was definetly getting wet & it was mucky already. It has been really humid here lately & I wondered if that was making it worse. I rarely even see my cats in the litter box so they can't be peeing that much. I just changed it again and left the cover off of it to see if that helps. Any ideas or suggestions will be apprieciated. Thanks.

My husband rescued a kitten last night. She has an extended belly (I assume from her not eating) which she is eating now, and she has yet to use the bathroom once in about 20 hours. She was in bad shape, absolutely covered in fleas, but we bathed her and she clean. She looks to be 4 weeks old. When she is layed on her back a small what seems to be air bubble pops out in the lower part of her abdomen, and it is about the size of the tip of my pinki finger. It is soft and gives easily. What could it be? Please no useless comments.

As said in previous questions I am purchasing a male crown tailed beta. I recently learned due to yahoo answers that Betas need a heater. I will be keeping the Beta in a 3.5 gallon rectangular all glass tank with a small live plant, a filter and possibly an African Dwarf Frog. The heater I am looking at is a 7.5 watt heater. It says for up to 2 gallons but I would rather get a heater that may keep the water a little cooler than acidently fry my fish.
Is 7.5 watts a good amount of watts for a 3.5 gallon tank or what is a good micro heater for my tank?
Thanks in Advance

Hi as a new fish owner any help would be gratefully received. I have a 60 litre orb. Been up and running for a while,so got two fish last sunday was advised by the fish store that two would be fine. One goldfish one black moor. Overnight on monday the goldfish died,thought it would as floating at top of tank. Black moor fine,very active!
Went and got another black moor on thurs,again fish store said it was ok.It was lively in tank at shop,did as i should to aclimatise it,but a few hours later it sunk to the botom and has basically been there ever since,keeps burying itself under the rock or plants.
The first fish is still doing great,so after reading the answers to other questions i assume it cant be a water problem,as he would be sick too?
Sorry to ramble on but i thought id let you know it all. Just want to know if i can do anything or if its going to die,feel sad that if it is then its taking so long,poor little thing.
Cheers if anyone can help. Em

I was concidering getting a little mousey to put in with my 2 fem ratties, having visions that they'd mother and treat it as a baby rat. In reality though, would my girls kill the mouse? And does it depend at all on sex?
