My cat was recently diagnosed as being diabetic. My mom didnt want to put her down bc we had just put down our 7 year old cat 2 months before from kidney failure. Shes 15 years old slightly overweight but I love her to death. We have to give her 2 shots a day. What i'm wondering is how long can a diabetic cat live is it the same if she wasnt?

I have lost 6 fish in the meantime. I took out the entire filter. Because the meds state that there should be no carbon filter in the tank. Is this correct? Should I just leave the filters on without the filter in it while I am treating the tank for fungus and ich. I took out the cabon filter and just left the filters on. Do you have any advice. Was this correct. What I assume the carbon filters is the entire filter. So there is nothing to filter the water at this time. The filter is just running the water thru and hopefully just generating more oxgyen. Is this correct? and how long should I leave the filter cartridages out before putting them back in.

I dont have a saltwater tank, nor do I plan to have one any time soon. I just had a question for the people that know a lot about them.

All the fish that are in the fish tank in the movie Finding Nemo, would they all get along together in an aquarium? Or is this unrealistic? I couldn't tell you the names of the fish because I dont know a thing about saltwater fish.

Just curious if they could be in a community together, or if some were too agressive.

Can a cat who loves catnip eventually not like it anymore?

I just adopted a catnip junky, she's so funny with it, but I was wondering if she will always react this way, or if she will eventually ignore it.

Fresh catnip, of course, I know the smell/effectiveness wears off after a while.

I have a large Orinda (about 4 in.) that I got about 2 weeks ago. When he is going to the bottom of the tank he goes over on his side when he gets near the bottom of the tank and then rights himself. The whole process takes about 2 seconds. When I asked the store where I got him they said the tank he was in was too small and he will grow out of it. Otherwise he is healthy. What's the deal? I have done a water change and salted the tank, 1 Tbsp. to 5 gal.

Since transferring my goldfish from their pond which was leaking into a drum for a few weeks, where it got dark and warm I suppose, we have now moved them back into their pond with mostly fresh water and now two days later I have lost one and the other eight have a dirty 'veil' covering them or a grey thready look on their heads and fins. I am so sorry! Please tell me what to do. I thought their water was freezing and added a LITTLE warm water to their pond carefully. They seemed to like that.

Whats the best way of setting up a tank for a puffer fish? Brackish water not salt. And what puffer fish is the best to keep? Should I have more than 1? What other types of fish can I have with them? Ive heard Skats can be in with them? How much salt do u add to the tank to make it brackish? Is sand better? If so whats the best filter to have with brackish water or sand?

It had surgery on it's mouth, from crushed walnut getting stuck in the gums while eatting. She lost a lot of weight before the surgery. The vet said to give her 100cc's of ensure twice a day. After two weeks--refusing eating mealworms or crickets--of ensure, she wasn't getting any better. the vet thought parasites could be the cause, so he give her parasitic meds. Today she died, and my sister is in tears. She had her for years. Can anyone help?

I am not stupid- I know that pets do not NEED clothing. I have a 2 year old, small dog that I love dearly and take very good care of, and yes, I occasionally put clothing on her. It's not cruelty nor is it hurting the pets in any way.

Yes, it is sometimes done for the owner's own entertainment but that doesn't make them a bad or irresponsible pet owner. There are also positive reasons for pets wearing clothing such as, it keeps their fur from getting dirty, it keeps them warm if they are small, and it makes them stand out more.

So, what do people get so irate about it? It's not that big of a deal- lighten up!

My siamese mix cat has gotten very itchy over the past few months and it's to the point where he's scatching so much he has sores. I plan to take him to vet but due to extra bills this month I have a negative balance in my account and no money for a vet at this moment. No vets around us do payment plans. I'd like to try to ease his itching while I wait for my next two checks, anyone have any suggestions on stuff from home I could give him to ease his itchiness. He has no fleas so I know that's not the problem. I've tried switching food but so far it hasn't helped. Any help is appreciated.

I'm caring for feral kittens and have cleaned their eyes twice now, several have puss and are glued shut. I use warm water but think they need something stronger. I don't want them to go blind and can't afford to take them to a vet, let alone the momma letting me take them! They appear to be healthy otherwise.
