Hi. I found the Schnauzer like 3 months ago...took care of her..vaccinated..walk her every night from 7:30 to 8 - 8:30.
Everything is good but i have a huuuge problem !
Everytime i go through my neighborhood to walk her, whenever she hears other dogs barking she starts barking like CRAZY ! and its so loud and annoying and she won't stop. Not to tell you when i encounter other people walking their dogs too..she just runs like crazy and jumps and barks like she's about to eat the other dog even though the other dog is 4 times larger than her. And it's just annoying and embarrassing ..if you know what i mean..because my dog does all the barking and jumping...the other dog just looks at her. Whenever she starts barking i try to pull harder on the leash towards me and yell " no " but that doesnt work at all. I'm sure slapping her wouldn't do much either..

So please help me make my dog walks calm and relaxing like they should be.
thank you much!

My friend has a beautiful 3 year old white cat named Rita that needs knee surgery on both her knees. She was told it would be $2000. Naturally being a college student, she was horrified at the price...after just purchasing books for the semester and art supplies- there's no way she can afford it. Today she just found out it will be $2000 per knee, so we are now looking at $4000, hence this poor kittys chances of being better ever look near impossible. It is looking pretty grim...Rita is already blind, so having horrible knees doesn't help her life any.

If anyone knows anything about how to help this kitty...please contact me...I would love to help out a kitty and a good friend : )

My daughter wants a pleco for our 60 gallon tank. We have 27 community fish in it, 10 cory's, neon's, danio's, male guppies, rasbora's. I am curious if a pleco is aggressive especially as it gets huge and will it attack or eat the cory's or other fish as soon as the light goes out? I would never want to hurt my fish I have or put them in danger. Thanks!

Bu I need to know a type of fish that does well alone (not in a group), what kind of mattinence that fish requires and any way to convince my parent that I am old enough and responsible enough to get one.
If possible it would be nice if it was pretty and could live in a fish bowl although these are not musts.

over the past few months my cat has developed the habit of chewing on plastic bags. she started doing it in secret (when we are out) about three to four months ago and then stopped for ages. yesterday she came up infront of me and started chewing on the bag i'd just brought in with me full of shopping.

she's an indoor cat, but has plenty of toys and attention, fresh water and food. i haven't tried cat grass yet and i thought this may be the prob. but then i heard my friends two outdoor cats (ten miles away) were doing the same thing!!!!

any ideas?

What's the easiest way to get a urine sample from your cat to give to the vet? And if you can't do it, does the vet have any method of quickly getting some from the cat, or getting the info he/she needs in some other way?

Sometimes I can't believe the questions about cat/dog health when quite clearly they should be asking a vet ! If people can't afford to see a vet, then perhaps they should not have the pet. There are so many people here happy to answer questions about stuff they know nothing about but most of the health questions are very obviously in need of vet help.

My cat is indoor/outdoor and about a week ago I noticed he had 3 bumps; when I part his hair, it does not look red or swollen and there is no discharge. It does not seem to hurt him either and his eating habits remain the same. His Rabbies vaccines are up to date and I have not seen evidence of any fleas or ticks.
Thanks.

My cat has reoccurring ulcers on his lip. My vet gives him steriod shots and an antibotic. Everytime the ulcers will go away but once I run out of meds it comes right back! Is there anything else that might help? Something I could maybe put directly on the ulcers?

We just got 2 miniature dachshund puppies. We got the female 2 weeks ago and got the male 2 days ago. The female is being really rough and picking on the smaller puppy. We can't tell if she's being mean or just trying to play way too rough with him. She bites at his neck and ears really hard until he yelps and pins him to the ground. He tries to bite back and growls and stuff, but he's much smaller and kind of sick from parasites.( lousy breeder...long story). Will the puppies start getting along and enjoy being together, or are we doomed?
