I've tried a few things but no joy. Also tried to syringe it straight into his mouth but he only ends up getting half the dose because of the wriggling! Any suggestions please?

After going for grooming, my dog was shivering till now. And he don't want to eat nor drink. He would lie at his bed, all the time.

I've just gotten back into the fish tank hobby and recently purchased one of those 5-gallon tanks from Kmart. Not a permanent tank, just a cheap starter tank so I can learn to do things right and move up.

I've had my tank set up for two days and the water has already started getting really cloudy. I've treated the water as suggested by my local pet store but am stumped as to why the water wont clear up.

The tank I purchased has one of those UG filter but I think I may have made a mistake by purchasing those blue rocks instead of gravel. I'm wondering if the rocks may be preventing all of the grime in the water from getting through. Do you think this is the case?

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

This problem is driving me crazy. I have got mouse traps down (which varies from peanut butter, choc, and jam in them), poison, bay leaves, bicarb, and peppermint on the floor to try to deter them, but I've still got droppings most mornings. I empty my rubbish daily and sweep the floor. I am immaculate, and can't understand why we keep getting them. Can someone please help, before I've got to be put on antidepressants.

This may sound like a bit of a stupid question... do we have corn snakes and bull pythons in australia? As this is where i live.
Are corn snakes venemous?
Please tell me!!! i love snakes... i own a carpet python and i want to know more about these snakes...

we picked her up as a 6 week old puppy from a rescue foster home. The rescue mom thought she and her sis were lab/german shepherd pups. We assumed she was, but so many people have asked if she's a Rottweiler. Once she even slipped under our fence and 3 neighbors asked if "that Rottweiler puppy" was ours. It won't change our perception of her..she's almost 9 months now and 75 pounds, a TOTAL sweetie and we love her to death. I'm just wondering though, for curiosity's sake: is she a Rottie? What breed does she look like?
(btw, current pic not available..these were taken when she was younger)

I saw someone else asking this earlier, so I figured I'd show pictures of my boy, and see if anybody has any ideas.

And no, even though he looks like a chupacabra in the second shot, I'm pretty sure his bloodline is chupacabra-free.

He was adopted from the Humane Society shelter a few months ago, and he is about 10 or 11 months old. He weighs 58lbs, and his fur is a really pretty copper color with blonde roots, and he has black on his muzzle and around his eyes. His ears really don't stick up like the second picture suggests. He's lying on his side so they're flopped back. The man who brought him and his littermates in said their mother was a pure bred Redbone Coonhound, but the father was apparently a travelling salesman ;)

My own personal guess would be mostly Redbone hound, some shepherd, maybe some Lab, and tiny bit of pit somewhere along the line.

I am looking for a great name for my new pup. I looked up the history of the breed, and I saw that they were originally bred in Germany. I thought it would only be fitting that she should have a German name to go with her heritage. Thanks in advance!

I just found a stray cat a few weeks ago, and she was already pregnant. I know she had her kittens, and I need to know how to find them! I do not want them to be wild and reproduce!
I have tried alot, bell collar, following her, and tying a LONG string around her, but no luck. I really need to know how to find a nest because I have looked everywhere.
thanks

hello! thanks for reading! so my problem is this: In the last year or two, my neighbourhood has been growing a stray cat population.All our neighbours feed them and they live at our house. All started out as kittens but two, and they have grown, and now there's a new momma with kittens. Their eyes are open, but they're pretty small, as is the momma. I'd like to catch them and domesticate them, or even just spay them. any ideas that work as to how to catch them without hurting them? we don't mind them, and don't want them put down, but these ones would make good pets. thanks soooo much! please hurry!

In the winter oranges are kind of difficult to find where I go to college(I'm in the mountains with tons of snow and ice so trucks don't like to come up here), but my guinea pig loves veggies and gets a huge amount every day and he REALLY loves his oranges. I adopted him only 2 months ago so I've never had him for a winter. I have heard that red bell peppers have TONS of Vitamin C but he doesn't like them, or any bell peppers for that matter. I dont want him not get as much Vitamin C when oranges run out but what can I do, especially since he was really sick because of the lack of Vit. C when I adopted him.

Every day he gets tons of romaine lettuce, oranges, apples, grapes, cucumbers, baby carrots, dried cranberries(he is getting over a bladder infection) and other veggies.

Also, am I giving him too much veggies?

I love them personally. I have 4. To me 4 is more than enough. I do occasionally take on fostering them.
