My 15 year old picked up her cat, and when it meowed the dog came sprinting down the hall. So my daughter started jogging so she could beat the dog to the stairs. The dog went running across the stair opening right as my daughter ran across to the stairs and her knees hit the dog by her rib cage, and the dog fell over one step into our living room and may have hit the chair and a table. She got up wimpering and she whined for almost five minutes before she stopped. When I had her get up to walk, she was fine, but I'm afraid I might be missing something. Please help me, I need to know if she may have hurt something internally

I work at the Humane Society in my town, and we have 4 major events to raise funds aside from doing the mail appeals. Two of the four events are much more profitable, and A LOT more work of course.
If you have idea's that you believe would make a excellent fundraiser. PLEASE share them. I am looking to "step-up" the current rut we are in and bring more people together and raise some money to expand our shelter.

I'd say the miniature Schnauzer. My grandma had one. Frisky was his name. He was so cute.

Anybody knows a good forum that has lots of members with decent knowledge and with fast replies? I'm a member of some forums and somehow they answer my question after a day or so and I barely get any replies which is why I resource to yahoo answers because the replies are much more faster but too many members just don't know what they are talking about.

P.S. a forum with general info about freshwater/saltwater fish/inverts/plants, etc

I notice sometimes that my cat will scratch under her chin. Everytime I see her do that I wonder if she has fleas. I can't see anything and she gets a flea treatment every three months which is what the pack says to do. She doesn't scratch often but I noticed she did agian yesterday. I have already taken my cat to the vet with a "tick" which happened to be a spur/bindie so I don't want to look stupid again. If she does have fleas I will take her but I want to make sure she does first.

My black moor's tail fins and 'arm' fins are torn. it happened over night.
it lives with a fantail.
theres nothing sharp in the tank (cause i know their eyes are damaged easily).
he has lost alot of weight recently- but the fantail hasn't.
how long does it take for the fins to heal?
should i seperate the fish?
i have an empty, but smaller than what he's used to, goldfish bowl.

We live in a canyon with lots of animals around including coyotes. My 2 year old Pomeranian was killed yesterday, by what it seems, coyotes. I know that small dogs aren't supposed to be outside, but he was in the gazeebo and I went to take him in, and he was lying dead. My mom said she said a bite wound on his stomach. I was wondering if coyotes are afraid of people, and if there's anyway that they wont be able to jump over our fence and try to kill our other dog.?
Ty so much! I appreciate all your answers. This is a very tragic moment for me.

usually my community freshwater fish which consist of two black tie tetra, 3 serpa tetra, one dwarf neon blue gourami, and a pleco are very calm. Tonight they are swimming around my tank like crazy, it's really awesome to watch and I was even wondering if perhaps it had something to do with the full moon? anyway if anyone can tell me if they know why my fish are suddenly going haywire I would appreciate it. Thanks.

i have a girl ferret,
she has just come on heat
.i know that i should get her nuetered or mated. but both options are out at the moment.
She has just had serious surgery where she had to have a fair bit of her small intestine removed, because of the amount removed she wasn't expected to live and was in a critical condition for 4 days.
she survived and has just had her stitches removed .
the vet said that they will neuter her now but i don't want to put her through another operation so soon ,ijust got her home'
what i'm wondering has anyone had a female ferret that they didn't get mated or nuetered and was the ferret okay,or is there an alternative solution and is it safe.
i am happy to get her neutered in a couple of months when i feel it want stress her out to much. i do love her ,so whats your advice,
