HELP! We have a Horrid Infestation of fleas. We had Orkin come out and bomb 2 days ago but the fleas are so bad I can't even get to my laundry to wash it and well that's even worse because the fleas are in the laundry. I'm pregnant and have a 5yr old and 18 month old. I need something to protect myself long enough to get the 10 loads of laundry washed that I haven't been able to get to because of the Fleas. I know the fleas won't go away until I get the laundry done. It's He double hockey sticks in my home and I'm going to lose it if I don't get rid of the fleas. Does anyone know of a natural or home remedy that I can use to repel the fleas long enough to kill what's in my laundry???? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

He started almost ramming into things and now he has huge gashes on his head. I did have to add fostfate remover to the tank about 4 days ago, but it was supose to be safe for my fish and I used the directions exactly. He just keeps ramming into everything and I do not know why. I just noticed this today. he does have an albino oscar with him, and they have more then enough room. His tank is clean. I dunno what else it could be.

How much does a small aprox. 8 week chihuahua cost? Where do you get a dog? I've seen at petco and petsmart but they are all sick and they arent babys. I've seen some that you can order online? Informative answer gets chosen.

I was told it would be okay to put 5 Balloon Mollies with 6 Guppies in a 12 gallon tank. Does that sound okay?

I have a 6 month old kitten that absolutely hates to be held or sit on my lap. In fact, he will bite me if I try to hold him for more than a few seconds. This is weird because he is a very outgoing a sweet cat as long as you don't pick him up. I didn't have him until he was 3 1/2 months old, so I don't know what kind of human contact he had at the breeder's house. He follows me everywhere around the house and whines when I ignore him so he definitely is not afraid of me. Is there any way I can teach him to enjoy being held?

I am really looking into buying this girth and pad.
http://www.horse.com/products/gift-0__sku-WIJ88.html
http://www.horse.com/products/gift-0__sku-WGJ88.html

Because my horses saddle slips all the time. I cant go on trail rides, ride him hard or anything without it trying to slip over to one side. I tried this nice wool pad on him, I put a blanket over the black pad and yet when he got sweaty... STILL the saddle would slip. Though it makes sense... Wool likes to move around when your horse sweats. So i looked into these, they look very nice and i think im going to order them. Although do you think they will slip alot still? and if so what pad do you suggest getting. I have a show coming up and I cant use the wool. Last time i did western pleasure in the middle of the lope, it went completely to one side. My boy went to a trot and just followed the pony in front. But i need something before this show in october, and time to practice it.

Please informative answers.

We have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier (our moose!) and she is obsessed with biting at, licking or picking at her front paws and hind leg feet. Her nails are not long, but should have a trim soon before they do get long.

Question is, why is she doing this?

She is quite active (very spunky!), is 7 years old...is well-fed and groomed and loved. Our environment isn't chaotic, but our 4 year old does, at times, play hard with her. Could it be boredom? Stress? OCD? Is it time to call a vet?

Okay, I have a few questions about raising guppy fry. I breed guppies, and I have decided to keep the babies in my main tank, so I have some questions about that...

1. How will my guppy fry be able to find their food that I give them in such a large tank?

2. Should I feed them liquid food or powdered food? Which is easier for them to find?

3. What can I put over the filter to stop them from being sucked in? Or do they just avoid the filter completely?

4. Should I just use my old 1 gallon plastic tank to raise the fry? Or is my 20 gallon tank with the adults okay?

Someone PLEASE answer!!!!

Do all pufferfish stay on the surface, do they have the ability to swim to the bottom? I have seen them at stores and i don't think i've seen any swimming around the middle or bottom of the tank.

Also are they puffed up like that all the time or can they release the air and make themselves smaller? I thought that puffing up was just a defense mechanism...

My parents’ cat lives in a rural area and a neighbor got him some. I live in a city and would love to give some fresh catnip to my cat. I love the way they go crazy over fresh catnip. Please respond with catnip stories if you have any.

One side of my Beta's stomach is swollen, looks like he swollowed a tiny marble. Otherwise he seems to swim the same and his color is still vibrant. Is this a common condition?
