hi, my cat she is skinny, not much but skinny, we feed her alot of things, she seems to eat alot but does not gain any weight, is not a life factor or anything, everythime we give her cat food she leaves some for another time, lol, do you know any vitamin or something that i can buy in the pet store to make her gain a bit more weight, or maybe i should feed her something else?

thanks

I ran it over with my car, needless to say it was a mistake.
Ive burried the body but im now shitting it. I think she knows i know something about it, shes talking about the law and everything. The cat was quite old, so its not like he was cut down in its prime. Ive had trouble with her before,shes getting on in years and is always looking for a fight with me,( i think its because i killed her last cat as well)

Should i own up, try to replace the cat with a new one(i got the idea from scooby do) or simply deny everything and hope my web of lies remains intact.

Maybe i should run her over.I could make it look like suicide.....

My tank was at 90 degrees so I changed the water to cool it down. Last night they were just sitting at the bottom when I went to feed them and now they are doing the same thing. Are they stressed?

I have always gotten my dogs groomed by a professional, but I now have a 5-month old Goldendoodle and I saw they now have a Flowbee type device for dogs. I wondered if anyone has used it on their dog. I would love to groom my dog at home.

My daughters 12 year old cat just was diagnosed and its heartbreaking. We had to take him home from the vet because of the long weekend and the hospital that we could have taken him to is too expensive. I am afraid that we will lose him. She leaves for college tomorrow and this is just overwhelming. Any advice on what to do?

I did this for him, but everyones saying i ruined him. Doesn't it provide the dog with a healthier longer life?

I asked a question about my elderly yorkie this morning to get input and some responses to my fears and indecisiveness. There was immediate response and help available and I took him to the vet and had him put to sleep. I would never have wanted him to suffer needlessly but needed help to make my decision -- and I got it. I am very grateful for those who took the time -- even if they were mad at me!

I'm feeding neighbors dogs, and she keeps them tied up outside, i feel really sorry for them. She is out of town at the moment. But, ant's are a real BIG problem with her dogs and their food. So, I only put a little food in the dishes, the dogs apparently don't eat that much. (their chihuahuas). But, ants are just everywhere!! Fireants at that!! (I'm in SC) I am going to mention this "problem" to her when she returns. But is there something non/toxic to put IN there food to keep them out, besides the "water"trick??

Hey I fed 3 worms to my turtle and she loved it. What I'm concerned is if my turtle will die from eating them. I used the bucket technique to capture the worms. I filled a bucket full of soapy water and dumped it into the . I cleaned out the worm with as much water I can. If there are still some soap left on the worms will my turtle get sick from eating too many soapy worms.

We think she might be, her stomache is getting slightly bigger and her teets are getting more pronounced, but we just dont want to jump to conclusions.

He runs around all day, attacking and biting his sisters, and knocking things over (like table lamps, picture frames,vases,
glassware, etc), and I can't get him to stop. He also likes to jump on top of everything. What should I do? I love the little guy, but he's becoming a nuisance. He also cries a lot.

Hi we have 25 Litre (5.5 gallon) tank fitted with a Fluval 2 plus (for up to 90 litre tanks as recommended by the aquatics shop) in tank pump & a bubble air disk.

We have just introduced a Black Moor to the tank today, he seems to struggling with the flow of the pump even though we have it set on the lowest setting. When we switch off the air stream & the pump he seems a little more settled.

Do these fish like still water ? or is it ok to have a pump in with him.

He seems to be frantic when the pump is on.
