and breathing heavily. He/she looks miserable. Would it be best to remove this fish to save the lives of my others, or is it too late for them all. I have treated for ich about 2 hours ago when I noticed it. Went to store and bought ich meds, fungas meds, and ammonia reducer. I know sounds horrible, but should I remove that fish.

I've recently brought home an emaciated dog from the shelter where I'm a volunteer. I'm going to be her "foster mom" until she's well enough to be adopted, and I need some suggestions on how to get her healthy and beautiful again. She is most likely a pure bred Yellow Lab, probably around 2 years old. She has very, very little body fat, and pretty obvious muscle loss as well. Her undercoat is all but gone, except around her neck. Her top coat is coarse and dull. Her teeth are in pretty good shape.

The good news is, she has a good appetite, and she now has somebody to care for her. I'm going to start feeding her a combo of canned and dry puppy food tomorrow to help her gain weight, but does anyone have any suggestions for some additional vitamins/supplements to help with her coat? Or even some suggestions on bulking her up would be great! Thanks! Here are a few pics of her:

I have hip displasia and a 73 year old grandmother, we also have 3 dogs that just adore us and follow us every where we go in the house. They run just in front of us, around us, and sometimes behind us. I am afraid it is going to make one of us fall and get hurt. I have accidently stepped on them before and I know it hurt ( no broke bones yet, thank God!), but it didn't make them stop. I have tried lightly booting them in the butt (not kicking) and telling them to move in a sharp voice, needless to say it hasn't worked and I'm out of ideas. HELP!!

I just got a english bulldog puppy. He is 9 weeks old and he has little hair and can almost see his skin. Is this normal? Will he grow into it? SHOULD I BE WORRIED?

I just bought a gallon tank and two small goldfish from walmart. They have a little castle which they are almost always in but today they are at the top just sitting there (not dead). I thought maybe they were hungry even though i feed them earlier so i put a few flakes in there and they ate a little but they are still at the top. It's kinda of scaring me =[ And also the water is cloudy and I just put it in there yesterday and put something in there to kill all the bad stuff, (the lady told me to do it at the store). I am scared if I change the water it mite scare them to death since i just bought them yesterday and it was kind of a long ride home. Is this normal? I have never had fish before.

I have a 10 gallon tank I plan on turning into a quarantine tank because I'm going to get a 20 gallon. Right now it has a 20 gallon filter, air stone, gravel, 3 fake plants, heater, fake rock setup, thermometer, and it has been cycled for about 2 months now. Should I take anything out? Also I know its a good idea to quarantine new fish and watch them for a while before adding them to a new tank, so I was wondering how long you should quarantine fish.

She is about three months old. There doesnt seem to be anything else bothering her. She eats normally. Goes to the bathroom normally. She threw up the other day. Shes been running around alot. She lets you pick her up and play with her. so it doesnt seem to be affecting her at all.

I have a puppy weighing 27 lbs. She jsut got spayed today and I was wondering if I can give her baby aspirin. She looks like she's in alot of pain and I want to help her feel better. The vet didn't say whether or not they gave her pain medication. They did give me amoxicilain to give to her starting Monday. Will it hurt her in any way to give her that baby aspirin?
