ok my Finding Nemo Tank is reaaaaaaaalllly weird there's a Blue Tang Fish
Foxface
Gobie ( idk how 2 spell )
3 clownfish
anenome
2 crabs and a horseshoe crab
Lobster ( a baby )
2 shrimp
2 starfish and 1 serpent starfish

the blue tang fish: first i bought one and after a while she went missing. we figured she died. we bought another now that one went missing. 2 Crabs: ok first i just looked at the tank... the second crab is dead. so nvm. the 1st stays in a rock and barely comes out. Anenome: we used to have 2 but the second turned brown. Gobies: again we used to have 2 but we took it out beacause the first took a chunk out of his tail.
the other fish r fine except these little spider-like things cling on to them what are they? and the foxface turned a little dark two. i bought a water test kit, the waters fine but why is everything dying!?!?

I recently found a stray kitten sleeping in my parents back yard.. it cant be more than a month old and I adopted it into my home.. She has been here for 3 days and she is such a good cat.. uses the litter box and all.. BUT.. she has a very bad dry cough.. I have an older cat and she has never had a hair ball or a bad cough.. the cough has been going on since I have taken her in.. Should i be worried? Or could it be the clean air or is there something stuck in her throat? I have no idea what to do but i want to make sure she is ok...

Recently I found an abandoned kitten on the road and decided to take him in. Currently I take him out for play occassionaly but have him in my dog's pet carrier [ quite large ] for most of the day. But recently I've noticed cuts and scarring on his paws and pieces of litter stuck to it. I want to put vaseline on his paws but im afriad he'll lick it. What type of litter do you reccommend I use? How can I treat his paws? What other things can I do?

I have a 10 gallon tank (im new at this, now realize bigger would have been better) I had one then 2 danios to assist with cycling the tank, checked water everyday, thought it was cycled.. had the cloudy water, that cleard up, did water changes after awhile etc, then one by bloody one my fish died I tested the water everything seemed normal so i slowly, re-stocked my tank, same thing happend...the Ph was a little high but i decided to take the water to the pet store for eval. The test revealed that I had NO Ph, the lady said she'd never seen the test strip turn that color. (my tests strips were obviously misleading) So I just drained my entire tank and washed all the plants and ornaments. QUESTION #1 why was my Ph so low? I used a water treatment, let it sit at least 24hrs before adding it. Was my water too soft??? #2 when I re-stock will i have to re-cycle again?? should I rinse my gravel off? does it contain the good bacteria? please help me, I miss the pretty fish. i did add salt.

Is there such a thing? our neighbors cat came back from the vet after being bitten by other cats, and the neighbors said the Vet told them the cat has 1 to 12 years to live, and has Feline Aids..

Is there such a thing? should we make the cat "disappear" for our safety?

How do you know when your dog wants to peepee and caca? Does the dog like whine, drag you outside or something?
Can you also make the dog poop when you want it to?

What about puppies, if they are trained, are they gonna whine when they want to pee or like bark or drag you to go out side?

we got a yellow lab/cocker mix from a shelter and she did really well up until we noticed a cyst on her side. it hurt and was going to keep growing so we had to have it surgically removed. it seems like once it started hurting she has gone into hiding (she goes in a corner by herself in the house) and is going to the bathroom in the house. it has been about 3 weeks since her surgery and these problems seem to be getting worse. we plan on taking her to the vet to make sure that there isn't anything wrong but we were wondering why this is happening.

by the way we are pretty sure that at her old home she was around other dogs and we don't have another dog here. she seems to be less withdrawn when my brother-in-law's mother's dog is at our house (we had a labor day party and she brought him with).

I have a 10 Month old Aussie Bulldog. I am away from home for 8 hours a day and she is on her own. When I am away she is eating/destroying anything she can find and reach. She also forces her way through a locked cat door into the house and will run amok inside and tear up magazines, pillows etc.
She has more dog toys than any other dog I know. I have tried ignoring her for a while when I get home, saying NO when I catch her but the problem is that she is perfectly behaved when we are at home. she gets plenty of exercise too (thowing balls etc.)
HELP. I am worried she will get stuck in the cat door and be there all day half in, half out!

My old man Russian Blue cat (name Boo) is nearly dead from old age. We plan on burying him in the yard, and need to know what would be better to keep wild animals/other cats/etc. from digging the remains. Mothballs or lime or....something else? SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY, flames and goof offs will be marked as spam and reported as such. Thank you.

okay so i don't really know whats going on, but when i got home from school today my cat seemed to follow me everywhere and she meow at me every .02 seconds. It was getting really annoying and then she crawls on my lap and rolls around and rubs her face in my thighs and stuff. Sound cute eh? well not really, she jumped up on my lap like 2 minutes ago and then i felt my leg get wet and i look down and see there is like creamy white liquid comming out her end. It was actually disturbing, i almost puked it was so gross. Well now i just want her to stay away from me and she won't I closed my door and she keeps clawing at it. What was this liquid she secreted? and how do i make her get away from me!? i dont think shes in heat? cuz i put her outside and she like climbs the door to get back in

He has a boil/wart/growth on the very end of his tail. It looks like a hemmoroid but its on his tail, not as butt. He is a yorkie so he has a very short tail, and all the way on the end is like a tic tac. Its a really full boil/growth that looks like it has some liquid inside of it. I want to pop it just because I think he's in pain and I think it will stay that way until he pops it with his teeth while licking it, or biting it.

Should I heat a safety pin and pop it, then disinfect it with some alcohol and piroxide ? or should I wait to see if it goes away, or should I bring him to the vet, which will undoubtely cost me 150 dollars or more for them to tell me what it is, and for them to pretty much pop it and do the same thing I would do. Thank you.

i think she is blind, nothing else, blind by natural causes ( or last time she hit her head really hard on the ornaament now removed and leaves her head with a dent) and i could tell shes blind from her eye being "empty" looking, anyways, my question iscould something else be wrond because i don't really seem to see her poo and i don't think it's constipation because i already starved her and fedd peas sereveral times now, i have another goldfish in the tank with her and she is perfectly healthy and poos are health looking

Actually ther're kittens their 41/2 months. We got them 3 months ago and their outside cats but were going to put them inside for winter. We have a 2 story house and we have a landing and i was wondering if you have had a cat or dog while having a landing. Did they try to jump off? Did you have to put something their so they dont fall off/jump off. Their heads are small enough to go through.
