i have a six month old cat who seems to get an upset stomach every time he eats cat food. Antibiotics and probiotic paste has made no difference and he does not get it when i take him off cat food. Any ideas on what he can have instead

The tip of my corn snakes tail seems to be dead. The dead part is only 3mm, my snake is about 10 inches long. There is no feeling in the dead part of his tail but in the past month the dead part has grown about 1 mm in size. Should I be worried?

He has a heat rock and a 150 bulb, but I need at least one half to be hot and I want him to be warm in winter. I will also get him a ceramic coil for night time, and maybe some kind of heat pad. The cage is a 50 gallon glass aquarium (13" wide, 48" long and 18" tall) with a metallic mesh lid. Any suggestions?

Have you seen the horses that pull carriages on City streets, the tourist rides?

How is it for those horses pulling a carriage on hard pavement? Are the horses treated well? Overworked?

One reason I ask is because I recently saw one of these horses in between rides. He was taking his weight off of one back leg, and then taking his weight off the other back leg, repeatedly. I was wondering if he was having pain in his back legs of huff?

I love my cat very much, but the older he gets, the more he becomes my shadow! Everytime I switch rooms, he follows me. If I close the door to go to the bathroom, he will cry and paw at it. When I go on our apartments balcony to smoke, he tries to come out with me or he'll scratch the window's screen and meow to come out. I go down the stairs, he comes. I go up the stairs, he comes. I sit at the computer, he'll paw at my leg and meow until I give him attention.

How can I make him more independant?? This is driving me NUTS!! I've had him for over 2 yrs and its never been this bad, but it slowly gets worse as time goes on and I want to break the cycle.

HELP!

Have you seen The Sun newspaper today?
There is a picture of a Chow Chow dog which has had it's fur dyed to look like a panda.

Do you think this is animal cruelty?

So my two new kittens who are about 10 weeks old, are very spacstic and hyper, if you have kittens you will know what I mean, they are chasing each other around the house full speed, attacing each other, one almost jumed of the stair landing. I know that thats how kittens play, but my parents are asleep, and its getting on my nerves. How can I make them calm?

im getting a puppy soon but i havent decided where to get one. i was thinking of rescueing one because they need a home but im worried if my puppy will be sick in some way or have a bad temper from lack of human contact or past experiences with people. dog breeders will have puppies that were raised with a family and well taking care of but those puppies will always find a home no matter what. i cant decide what to do

I took my 13 week old kitten to the vet on Saturday for his booster vaccination and the vet also gave him his rabies shot. He has had a bit of diarrhea since Saturday afternoon. He is not sick in any other way, he still plays and eats and does all the normal kitten things. I wouldn't say that he has diarrhea but his stools are definately loose. Is this normal?

And for the past month, she has done nothing but got on kitchen counter, tried to get human food, etc etc. This is not her first litter so I don't know what is wrong. And it's not like she does not get cat food (9 Lives canned PLUS 9 Lives dry) Any suggestions as to keep her from doing this (besides keep setting her down)? Anybody have these problems before? Or even now? She is really driving me bonkers. Thanks

i recently had to put a cat down for cancer. It's still tearing me apart, despite being able to go through a day and smile, and having a wonderful kitten, who is a great cat on her own, i'm still torn up. This cat who i've had all my adult life, was hurting, stopped eating, and found his hiding place.
I chose to put him down, but the day it took place, he ate. He still cried in pain if you touched him, but he started eating agiain, and that's killing me. I couldn't stand to see him hurting, and i made the hardest decision i've ever made. But it's killing me!!!!!!!!!!!!! So this question is more than one.
How long does it take to come to terms with the decision to put a cat down?
And how do i know that i couldn't have had longer with him??? Without making him suffer?????

It has a collar, but i don't see any lost cat signs anywhere.

OK, so I got my cat spayed a few days ago, and she is almost back to normal, she is eating and playing some. I can tell she is feeling better, but her stiches look well....nasty, She is very swollen around the stiches, and she licks it all the time. Should I take her to the vet or is that normal? Please help!!! I love my Baby!!!

It is both linoleum and wood flooring. We think he has OCD because our floors are not that dirty! He licks the floors more than what dogs typically do.

Dogs seem to search for manure and/or dead things to roll in. Why is this? My best friend lives on a ranch and has two outdoor dogs who always roll in horse manure. Why??? It's disgusting!

My 1 year old male cat has been pulling out big chunks of fur from his backside and tail. He has been treated for fleas and has not had any mats. There have not been any changes in the living situation, the only thing that has happened recently is my pregnancy. What can I do to help him?

We adapted two dogs from the kennel over two years ago and love them so much but we are curious what breeds they have in them. We have heard of the dog DNA testing but do not know where to get that done at, if anyone has a link that would be great!
