My pet Maltese recently had rabies and other booster shot . 3 weeks later i noticed a lump the size of a half a golf ball at the vaccine site.
What can it be?
Do i observe it or does it need to be drained.
There is only one vet on our island and i doubt his competence

I have a pug, she got her shots once with the breeders and once with me when she was 4 months old. She's 8 months old, does she need shots anymore or is it just better to get them?

do you think if you have a cat you have had for a while and bring home a new kitten the older cat feels jealous of the new kitten and the attention it gets from people, like an older sibling feels jealous of a new brother or sister?

I was curious about this after something I saw with my new kitten. I already had a dog, and the two seem to get along very well. They seem to like to chase each other around the house and yard. I know my dog likes it because her tail is always wagging when they play this game.

But I noticed today that right before they start chasing each other they "size each other up" by staring at each other. My dog's tail was wagging, but I noticed the cat's tail was also wagging. I was wondering if this is a sign that the cat likes the game or if tail-wagging means something different for cats.

I have never seen the cat's tail wag at any other time (even when I'm feeding her or petting her and so on). I just want to be sure she is just playing and not scared of my dog (which is nearly twice the kitten's size). Thanks to everyone on help with this, she is my first cat.

Now doesn't it make more sense to move the males from the tank and then just remove the females after birth? personally i don't even want to bother with removing any of the fish. how many can i expect to yeild/mo. if i just leave 2 males with 6 females and let nature take control of my 10 gallon?

I have a set schedule for morning breakfast and dinner...in between we play play play and train train train and rest too...He is very active...But when I feed him...I tried everything...I bought a huge bag of dry purina puppy chow and he wont eat it plain...so I tried putting a splash of water...he still wont eat it...So I decided to buy this purna moist and meaty dog food and he wont eat it...so I mixed the 2 foods and he still wont eat it...But he will eat everything else...What is wrong??? Am I feeding him too much?? Should I feed him once a day??? I am going to call my vet but since its labor day they wont be open...any ideas on what I can do to have him eat his meal??

I have a 10 gal. tank and would like to breed guppies as feeder fish for my 75 gal. tank. In the 75 ga.l I have a Knifefish that I am going to grow into a big boy (have done it before, they're cool and have awesome personalities). I don't care about the guppies at all, they're just a healthier food than petstore goldfish in my eyes. So, does this sound plausible? and to those with guppies, how often are you cleaning your tank? How many fry remain even after the parents have munched on them? I was thinking of doing 2 males with 6-8 females to jump start then cull the ones i don't like into the feeding tank. Opinions?

Has anyone trained their cat to do certain things? Ive heard that you can actually train them, such as turning off your light switch at night, etc.

My cat is now 2 years old though. Is this too late to train? He is awfully affectionate to me, but he only seems to listen when i have food. He does come when i call him, and he seems pretty smart, but All i have been able to teach his is to meow for his special snacks.

How can i encourage him to learn more tricks?



Any advice on training or

She is a 4yr old pitbull and we live on a big farm where we go on looong walks & runs everyday; she is tuckered out at the end of each day cause we work outside all the time. There are lots of other dogs around to play with inside but for whatever reason, she sometimes gets to urge to comepletely chew random doorframes or big holes in the wall! SO frustrating cause it's happening a couple times where I run her for an hour outside with me so she gets some excercise before when i know I'm going to be gone for a couple hours and I'll come home after 2 hours and there's a chunk in the doorframe gone. I leave her toys out and yummy pigs ears and chew treats but she keeps going to the wall! Her last owner had to kennel her for 10 hours a day cause she was gone that long and the dog would destroy the house, so I adopted her cause it's a farm life here with lots to do and lots of excercise but it's not working. I've also put hot sauce on the door frames too. I'm running out of ideas! help!

I think my cat may have a Urinary infection and im going to take him to the vet asap. The only thing is that he doesnt do so well in vets. What do they do to check? Will they take him to another room, if so he will freak out. Thanks in advance.

Found an abandoned kitten yesterday and have been bottle feeding her kitten formula for two days. The Lable says to rub the belly and genitailia to help the kitten's bowels to move. How long should i do that before she can potty on her own?

hey guys i just bought a cockateil on 9/1/07. the petstore said it was hand fed. when i got the cockatiel it just stayed in one spot for the first day. then the next morning i saw it trying to get down from the perch cause i thihk it was too high. so i reached my hand in there to help him down. i think he bite me but i dont think it was hard. then i opened up his cage door and stared to whistle and then the came out and "flew" all over the place. he also has his wings cliped. i panicked and picked up him and stuck him back into his cage. now everytime i point my finger at him he acts like he is going to bite me. i should stop doing tat right. lol. then that night i stood in front of the cage for like 30 mins listenin to music. he was just licking his feathers and looking at me. then i read some stuff on internet, i noticed that he was getting sleepy. so i tried to keep the noise down but he keeps fallin in and out of his sleep. then i decided to move his cage to the corner of the room

So, I found what I am sure is a ROUNDWORM in my 3 month old puppys poop... I took her to the vet exactly 7 days ago, and she got wormed then, but I am going to get her some over the counter worm meds tomorrow... the thing that sucks about this, is I have a 4 year old little girl, that is always all over the puppy, playing with her, and letting her lick her face, ect. and I have a wife that is preggo with twins, and I have been reading on the net for like the last 4 hours that everyone in the house will catch this parasite, and lose their site, and my wife will lose the kids.. ect ect ect.
HELP!

I was out walking my dog and an sheriff officer, had just picked up a stray dog stopped me and asked if I knew the stray. I said, I didn't. He asked me if I could help him to find her owner. I said, sure! So, I brought her home with me, put up flyers and ran an ad in the paper. No, one has claimed her. Question is? How long do I have to wait to say she's Mine! She's a wonderful Dog!!

I had my cat for two years then I got her fixed. She had no problem at all with using her litter box. She is healthy so I can't figure out why now...about 4 months after she was fixed (for the first 4 months she was using the litter box) she is peeing on clothes and not using the litter.
She just recently just went to the restroom on my cousins bag of clothes. So i really need to find out why. She is getting me into trouble. =(
Someone please help me. =)
