a new kitten we got has ringworm. we have a 6mo old baby too. i took the kitten to my dad's house and he is treating him. today we found a spot on our other cat! i dont want the baby to get it too. if we took all our cats (we have 3) and quarantined them at my dad's house - how do we get rid of the spores in our house? they can live on surfaces and carpets for months. even if they got rid of it and came back to our house they could possibly get reinfected. how do we disinfect the house?

I have a Western Fence Lizard, (a.k.a Blue Belly Lizard). He/she is about 2 months old. It seemed to be having a seizure early. It was taking a nap, and when it woke up, its started twitching all over for a few minutes, then stopped.

With regard to the dogs in rescue shelters, why is it always classed as the breeders fault they are there?
Is it not down to the irresponsible owners who get the dog then decide they cant cope or just dont want it any more?

I will probably get loads of violations for saying that but who cares, freedom of speech!!!!!

What about the millions of dogs that go off to live in happy permanent homes?

Her neck is irritated from her collar. I can't quite figure out if her collar is too tight or too loose, which will help me to prevent the irritation in the future. If anyone has a rule of thumb for collar placement, that would be great. Anyway, can I just use Neosporin or something like that to help her neck heal?

Ok spare me the lecture, they are not my puppies and the people they belong to were already extensively lectured by me. It happened its over, now I would like to give them advice on what to feed the mother to keep her healthy and producing milk for her pups. Yes I know there is a pet overpopulation problem and I don't agree at all... it was an accident the mother is being spayed and there's nothing else I can do. Any advice about nutrition for the mother and tips about whelping would be greatly appreciated.

We've seen it around our house for months, never seems to go 'home', we've even seen her late at night scavenging. We've got her in the house now, and she's being very friendly, though she is very skinny. There is no collar, and I cannot feel a chip. But I'm pretty sure she's on heat. Whats the best way to go about finding her owner, or if not finding her a home or keeping her here?

Okay so occasionally, I come across a gecko/lizard thingy in my garage.

It looks completely black, maybe with stripes (no orange spots) and it doesn't look dry and scaley. It looks more like it would be maybe slimy/smooth if I had dared to touch it.

I live in North Carolina, and I'm wondering:
What the hell is it?
How do I get it out?
Is it poisonous (I think it nips, but I'm not sure, I've only seen it run around)?

(I'm asking this question again because I don't think I gave enogh info) She gets so scared that she pees, and it doesn't matter if she knows the person or not. I got her when she was 7 weeks old and she is 10 1/2 months old now. I take her for walks 2 times a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. And I try to take her to the beach or the park 2 or 3 times a week and she does fine. The only time she gets so scared she pees is when she sees baby strollers ect. (things she doesn't see often) but that doesn't seem to happen as often anymore. We always have alot of people over but shes just never got over it. But I feel so bad for her because she is such a sweetheart and I want other people to see how sweet she is.

He just got a lion cut. He has got skin (like excess fat or something) hanging from his belly area. He has never been an obese cat.
