I have two registered pugs. The thing is i only have the papers for the male. When the lady gave me the female a few years ago she couldnt find the papers she claimed. With my males papers it does have a paper in there to register a litter so i assume I can but will it be as affective? I dont care about getting more money or whatever for them but i just want to make sure when i sell them and say their registered that i wont be decieving to anyone.

I have a 1 year old shih tzu who tends to not eat or finish her food in the morning and sometimes at night. Is this weird? And because she doesn't eat breakfast in the morning, she would sometimes vomit (yellow liquid, which I believe to be bile). I don't think she is sick or anything because she is still active and playful. She still drinks her water. Her nose isn't dry. She poops regularly. The only thing is, I think she is pretty skinny (8 lbs) and I would like her to eat more. Sometimes she doesn't finish her food. I'm just a bit concerned that she's not always willing/eager to eat her food when it's time for her to eat (morning and dinner).

I feed her Royal Canin dog food. Should I switch her food to something more tasty?

Thank you~

my dog is a yellow lab, 4 years old and all of a sudden will not eat. He always would eat his food right away and would eat whenever I fed him, now he will take a bite or two and thats eat. This started last night and again this morning. What would cause this? He did eat a couple treats last night, and he still has his bowel movements like normal. However it does look like he has a rash on his stomach which he got from rubbing against plants etc. on hikes through the woods, he got that last year too and it didnt effect him. So I am not sure what could be causing this.

We have a dog, she's been heartworm tested and on the preventative medicine Heartguard since she was a really young puppy. Recently she had a litter of two and I was wondering whether we should take the pups to be tested even though they have never been outside (3 weeks old now) or just start them on the appropriate dose of medicine at 8 weeks old?

I know I should call my vet to ask, and I intend to - but it's been bugging me all weekend and I keep forgetting to call during office hours.

my sister has a chihuahua who is over weight, he has had lose bowl movements for a while, he has now been put onto a vets diet, he is only one. He does not eat much, to warrent the weight gain, he had his manly hood taken away and the vet said this could be the reason. But she had 3 other dogs that had there bits done and they didnt put the weight gain on. He walks every day. She was told the Bakers dired food is fatty and this makes them have weight gain! Has any one been in the same position. Or have any idea why he is putting the weight on. Her vet is reluctant to do blood tests, and he thinks he is too young for thyriod problem, because she asked him, after i mentioned it, as it is common in dogs. If any one can offer any suggustions it would be appreciate. Many thanks

We've had a problem with mice since 2004. We've caught about 8 since then! However, came downstairs this morning (5.30) and nearly and quite literally nearly had a heart attack. I saw a mouse and it ran behind the cooker! I nearly died. I've got 4 traps down (all with peanut butter in) and poison and they're still roaming around. What more can I do? I don't have a cat, as I've no one to look after one if I ever go away (our neighbours are horrible)

I just moved into a rental house and the previous tenant missed taking a few of the goldfish with her. I didn't realize they were there for a month. I bought food, but it doesn't look like they are eating it. The water is green and murky. I have a small pump circulating the water but it has no filter. Do I need one? Do I need to put plants in the water? How about chemicals? I know nothing of fish!!

The temperature outside is about 39 degree C / 102 degree F and probably the bird was wandering for hours. Its surely someone's pet.

Now we have sheltered it for the past 48 hrs, it seems very tired, mostly sleeping for 12-14 hrs since the last 2 days. Drinks a little water and takes a bit of seed now and then and goes back to sleep again.

His eyes and nose are clear, no sign of any infection or fever. Is the bird stressed due to the heat and ordeal ? What more can I do to revive it ?

I am an existing bird owner, having Canary and Lovebirds for the past 7-8 years.

How many of you own an American Pitbull Terrier or a Staforshire Terrier? Do any of your dogs play games with themselves? Lilly does ( my pittie). How many of your dogs think they are lap dogs? Lilly is almost 100 pounds and thinks she is a lap dog. Lilly is an American Pitbull Terrier/Rotwieller mix so she's a bit bigger. She has all the traits of a pit though.

Anyway do tell. Oh, what color are they? Lilly is black with a white stripe down her cheast. Around her eyes and on the bottom half of her paw her fur is tinted brown. You can only see the brown in the light though. What color are yours?

I can't imagine that anyone would start such a rumor, unless they might profit from it. .So, who would most profit from it?

I just got my new kitten she is 8 weeks old. I think she was neglected because she is very skinny and almost afraid I have had her for one day and she seems to be opening up and doing better. For some reason her spine feels very bumpy. I have another kitty and her spine doesnt feel this way she isnt as skinny either. Is my kittys spine ok? I am going to take her to the vet next week when my other kitty goes for her second distemper but I want to know if anyone out there knows if this is ok?
