I have been trying to make him comfortable, thinking he was ready to go. However, he has moments of alertness and keeps getting out of bed to go outside or drink water. I cannot get him to eat anything. He does not seem to be in any pain, but surely he can't continue this way.

hi, i have started feeding my 13 week old kitten with adult food now because she seemes to like it more, she is always eating my older cats food and likes it better then her kitten food. I know it is a bit to younge for her to move on but at least she is eating and it is mashed up for her. I'm not doing anything wrong am i, she likes it and is happy what do you think?

I have a 29 gallon tank with 2 guppys, 5 platys, and 5 kuhlii loaches. Would it be ok if I added my male betta to the tank?

I am and moving to the seaside (Bournemouth) next year with my partner, we are looking to buy a flat close to the beach so plenty of excersise and water to play in and cool of in the summer (we would prefer a dog who enjoys the sea/water), but it will be on the ground floor although there will be no garden I will be working part time and he will be a student also, so we wont be around alot but when we are or when I have a day off I'll walk it as I am active myself. We liked the look of a dougue de bordeux, boxer and a char pei but we dont think they would be suited to us, we are looking for an easy to train dog and we both have experience with dogs and the money to keep one (and the home will be permanent and will try and get one with a garden if possible but we are looking for a long term rent, so we wont be moving around), any reccomendations of a breed or dog please??

my other dog when she was a puppy, she was wary at strangers and now, my new shepherd puppy is not wary at strangers. i expect him to be tough yet gentle but i think he does not care at strangers at all. how can he be a guard dog if he is not wary at strangers? all he know is to eat and eat, that is the time he barks because he is hungry.

thanks

I am looking for some new tropical fish to go in my tank, however I'm not sure what fish are compatible with Guppies and Cardinal Tetras. If anyone has any advice or experience I would be extremely grateful. Thank you xxxxx

I have a 20 gallon tank with heater and box filter. I conditioned the water as instructed and added aquarium salt as well. I bought 4 males and 6 females about a week ago. One by one, the females have been dying. I replaced two of them, but I am down to three. I did a 25% water change about a day and a half ago, but it seems that every day at least one female is dying. The males are healthy, too!!

Help!! I`m not new to aquariums... but this one has me stumped!

I'm aware that he will need his hip, eye and elbow scores before I offer him up for stud, but I'm wondering when to book him in for these. He is one year old today but I'm not sure how desirable a one year old stud would be either. Is it best to wait until he is 2 or so?

My aim is to get him (and us) experienced at it before breeding him with my mother's ***** (perfect match) in about a year and a half.

I'm well aware that it might change his personality etc etc so please don't preach :)

Ok, I got lots of help on here re: which fish to get for my aquarium but I'm now getting conflicting advice on how long I should wait before I get any fish...
One pet shop said wait a week - a site on the net said it could take up to 7 weeks!?!
Tank is Juwel Vision 180 - been running 3 weeks with integrated filter & air bubble line.
Temperature has stayed a steady 27 degrees C.
Tank includes 2" of gravel, 6 real vallis potted plants, 2 smaller plants that don't look so good with brown spots (but had them when I planted them!), 1 big plastic plant, 1 big stone tree stump thing, one big rock with loads of hiding places & one smaller rock.
I've been adding a small amount of flake food each day & pH down as my pH has stayed at 7.8 for ages!
Pet shop checked my ammonia & nitrate & they were fine & I've acquired quite a few snails from somewhere.
My tank seems REALLY clean though & I was told it should go cloudy first.....
Do I just need to be more patient or is there anything else I can do?

I just found out that the woman who is offering me a 9-month old JRT x Collie has been back yard breeding. Her 4-year-old Westie had already 25 pups. She says that she is neutering and spaying her dogs now (she currently has 10), but I am not too sure, as one of the dogs seems to be pregnant again.
I had one of her dogs for a day to see how it gets on with my dog, and it is lovely, apart from not being trained at all.
On one hand I am worried about this dog, on the other hand I don't want to make space for her to have more pups.
My motto is: Don't breed or buy whilst homeless die. So in this case, I am not too sure. She is giving several dog away for free now, but I still don't feel very sure.

My vet is closed until Tuesday and my female cat ( 11 years old) is bleeding from her butt! She has never ever bled before and I don't know what is going on.

She may have eaten some old fish that someone left in the woods, I don't know if that would make her bleed or not.

So...I was wondering if anyone has any insight on this!!

HELP!

The vet said the directions where on the medication but it only says to give one syringe today and in one week, it doesnt say how its taken.

I've had a cockatiel for about 3 yrs now. But the thing is i think he is lonely. He bites and hisses a lot because he isn't very social. He seems to be lonely and sometimes during the day he won't do much and he often sits in the corner of his cage. I was wondering if i did get another cockatiel for him how would he react? Would he hurt it if he didnt like it? and also do u think it is a good idea about getting another bird?
