I bought Frontline for my puppy and it did not work.I live in Thailand now and I was wondering if the bugs different here?
I dripped the Frontline on it's neck and down its back.I watched it soak in and not run out.After 15 minutes I brushed the medicine deep into its fur and 3 days later she still has fleas and ticks.I am wondering if because she sometimes plays with a filthy street dog that that dog is just too bug ridden and they keep jumping on my dog.How does frontline work?I thought it did something to the dog's blood to make the bugs stay away.What can I do to get rid of these bugs?Flea collars in Thailand don't work at all.The bugs made their home right underneath it.Help!

I just got a kitten a couple of days ago. She is very well behaved and everything, but since I live in an apartment I can't really let her outside. She doesn't seem to want to go out or anything, it's just that I feel really bad keeping her locked up. My brother thinks it's cruel and wants to take her because he has his own house and can let her outside on his property. Do you think it's mean to keep a cat inside? Should I give her a home where she can roam outside? She seems very content living inside...

my friends horse seems to have this problem with dragging his back legs when he's being ridden. He ends up tripping and throwing the rider and falling on his knees. He doesnt have Navicular Disease because he's dragging his back legs, not his fronts. Its not a stifle injury because he's not hot and swelling. Does anyone else know of any other disease/injuries that are related to dragging of the back legs? Any injuries that are related from the hoof right to the spine. We thought it was just lazyness but he trips up in the field too and during workouts so its more then just lazyness. Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanxs

My kids caught some hermit crabs at the beach and we are observing them for our "ocean" month.

I am having a hard time finding information on marine hermit crabs and we would love to keep these guys alive and possibly return to the ocean when we are done with our unit.

Any information you can give me is great! Thanks!

I watch the dog whisper but I'm too nice and let my dog go on the beds and couches when he likes to. Is this bad because will he get spoiled?

We've switched her food, wash her every week or 2, and cut her claws once a week. Anyone know how to get her to stop? She's giving herself big bloody gashes now. (Maybe she's a cutter)
Anyway- please don't just tell me to go to the vet. We just moved (it could be stress on her?) like 2 weeks ago and don't have a car to get her to the nearest vet. Would it be OK to declaw her at this point (she's a year old) just to keep her from hurting herself? I need suggestions and ideas.

Ok, looking into even more, and I think I've found that the best options for dog food are, in order:
-------------------
Blue Buffalo
Science Diet (tied with:)
Canidae
All of the Natura Products go right here, but I havent looked too much into what is healthiest, though Innova and Evo peeked my interest most. I could use some input on that.
Flint River.
----------------------
So, anyone here agree/disagree with me? Think they should be rearranged, or another kind should be added? All extra info would be helpful.

My brother just adopted a 3 month old puppy. The shelter wasn't sure what he is mixed with but our guess is a golden retriever and chow. He likes to bite and chew like a normal puppy but he will also bite aggressively. There is nothing that really sets him off, he just always wants to bite, and it hurts! He has drawn blood on multiple occasions.
The vet told my brother to grab him by the nape and put his head to the ground while telling him no. That didnt work. He just got worked up and wanted to play but more aggressively than before!
He just got a choke collar as well and that has yet to help. Today he went at my brother for no reason and bit his hand.
Is there anything else he can do to help stop this puppy from biting? He is considering taking him back to the shelter but I know they will euthanize him and I don't want that to happen.
Help!

I inherited some mysterious snails when I purchased an aquarium plant. So far I've found three and there may be more. Two of them are the size of a pea and one the size of a small popcorn kernal. My question is: when do they start laying eggs? There appears to be an egg bundle on my filter. Other than the snails, my other tank inhabitants are 3 skirted tetra, 6 neons, and one placo which I also inherited with the plant. Anyone have any idea who laid the eggs?

I made the mistake of training my puppy to use pee-pee pads. She uses them perfectly. The problem is that I can't get her to relieve herself outside AT ALL!!. She must think she'll be doing something wrong if she doesn't go where she's used to going. I've tried moving the pads closer and closer towards the door (didn't work), tried bringing the pad outside when I walk her (didn't work). How can I possibly turn this around?? On top of it she's a big dog - part Beagle, part pointer - 35 pounds at 7 months. So when she goes she really, really goes!! PLEASE HELP HER!!!

Hi!
I have a dog that needs to take 4 pills a day for health problems. The problem is that she is very picky about food: does not like cream cheese, hot dogs etc. If I wrap it in the peace of ham she will eat the ham and spit the pills out. Today she almost choked on some cream cheese!! I am out of ideas. Please help! She is a big dog (Husky and German Sheppard mix). Thank you.

He started throwing up an hour ago, 3 times now. He is being really lathrgic and in his eyes you can see the inner white parts (which are normally not visible). He was fine all day today (running around, playing and such). We haven't changed his diet (nothing in our home has changed) and all the cleaners/poisons are locked up. All the vets are closed right now and I don't know what to do for him. He wont drink water either. Please Please help!

Okay, well, I have an indoor cat, and he's about 11 years old. He was in good shape (or so we thought), and now, we're not so sure. He's gotten very thin, and seems to just lay around anywhere, and not do much of anything. He just sits, and sometimes hops into the shower, but gets afraid if he gets wet. He doesn't want to eat (or so it seems, we're not sure if he has been or not). We are going to take him to the vet, but I was just wondering if anyone was in this situation, and if so: what was the outcome? Please help, I'm not ready to lose him yet.
