is it possible for my cat to have allergies? the weather has been changing in Colorado and she's been sneezing more lately. I've also noticed that she sounds a little congested when she's breathing.

I have two cats. Brother and sister. born may 19 2000. the male is very over weight and his sister is small. they are very finicky eaters and share the food dish. I am worried about the males weight. I also have a problem with shedding. They only eat dry food.

I am bringing home 2 new kittens. The owner of the mother has just told me that she has treated them for fleas because her one adult cat got out. She used a treatment that is placed on the back....forget what brand she mentioned (hertz maybe). My question is how effective are these treatments and how fast do they work? I do not want to bring fleas into my home. Will the kittens be flea free within a few days? And also, do you think I should treat them (again) and or bath them when we get home? They are 10 weeks old. Also, when is it ok to fix them (1 boy, 1 girl) and when do they start their shoots? Thank you

He had his does yesterday morning, but the little tike then ran out and has only just returned so has missed his doses last night and this morning. I have just given him a dose and will do so again tonight will they still work? He has had a tooth removed and so i think these are because of that just as a preventitive.

For instance, when you see a cat preparing to leap, say, from a chair to a doorstep, it always poises its self, checks everything out, and jumps with absolute precision. But do they ever miss their targets? I suppose nervous accidents and non-concentration are human traits, but can they also apply to other animals?

My indoor/outdoor cat has some brown stuff/marks on the bridge of her nose and by her nostril. Is it an infection, some type of parasite, or are they scabs of scratches? i have been putting peroxide on it and it doesnt bubble. she also woke up this morning with a swollen crusty eye, which cleared up in an hour. she seems like she feels fine and it is not painful to her. i am wondering if i should take her to the vet. I would prefer not to unless i was sure i had to b/c i know it will be hundreds of dollars later.

My kittens 1 male, 1 female are about 5 1/2 months old. The vet has no openings til next week to fix them and while the female has shown no signs of being in heat, the male has had his nose up her rear end for 2 days now (he's not mounting her, just sniffing). He doesn't look like he's dropped yet. Is this what I think or am I being paranoid? I will have them fixed as soon the vet can get to them. But til then should I be worried? They aren't siblings.

Ok, I have a 10 gallon tank with 4 mollies (2 black, 2 dalmation). My tank is only a few weeks old and is still going through the nitrogen cycle. Nitrites and Nitrates are present, but Ammonia is not. My fish had ick about 4 days ago. Most is gone but my black female molly still has a white spot by her mouth. All the fish are eating well, but then they just kinda sit in the gravel or just swim in one spot. Even my black male mollies tail seems droopy. I lost a white molly yesterday. Please help me!

I have added aquarium salt and I am doing regular 25% water changes (the Ick treatment says I have to do this each new dose). HELP HELP HELP!!!

i found a wood duckling on the road tonight. I almost ran him over. I stopped, got out and picked him up and brang him back home. I have since then broke up bread and made is a bit soggy... put him in some water for a SHORT period till he tried getting out, I took him out. He has a warm box to sleep in. He is VERY VERY small. But he has small feathers on his tail, with some down still. How old is he? I am guessing a few weeks. Does he need a heat source? How to I look after him, as I want to raise him.

I am feeding a beautiful wild stray cat and would like to domesticate it. It seems to have worms and I would like to get it spayed or neutered. I have been feeding it, now, for weeks but will come no closer than about three feet to my outstretched hand. How can I humanely trap it? I want to get it to the vet before it goes into heat and continues the cycle.

I was watching yet another dog adoption show, this one on a black and white dog named rocky and I couldn't believe how they acted around the dog, anyone whos seen the dog whisperer will know what I mean, the first family kept talking to him in that high pitched baby vioce which is not good for dogs! He seemed scared of them, in his head he was probably going "Now why should I listen to them, they're not being calm-assertive." The next family imedialty pet the dog the second they daw him, another no-no, whereever that dog goes he's going to wind up ruling the house, I hate stuff like that. I think Cesar Millan should host the dog adoption shows.

Any idea why do my 2-month old dog pee everytime he sees me when I arrive home from work! It is very obvious that he is happy to see me. It's just makes me laugh when he pee uncontrollably everytime!

(His name is Yoda... do you think its a cute name or what? :P
My family thinks that is a weird name for a dog)
