Ok this is rather disgusting but I am quite concerned. My cat took a dump and it was like a yellow mousse with some blood in it? Very worrying...and super disgusting. Has someone had a similar experience with their cat?

He had diarrhoea before, then it went away, then we changed his diet to shredded chicken (boiled and then dried) and plain rice.

Then suddenly I found this monstrosity of a yellow turd? What the hell? Never seen anything like it...I was wretching trying to clean it up...wrong on so many levels.

Sadly a mild outbreak of costia has recently ravaged my poor opaline gourami. Sad as it is, it is just a fact that its here, and has to be dealt with. The gourami was housed with 2 adult, breeding Jack Dempseys, who neither appear to be afflicted with the flagellates. Understanding the nature of this infection I immediately quarentined my gourami in a small 10 gallon hospital tank, and I've increased the salinity of my water from .03 to .06% last night.

The gourami appears to respond well to the treatment, however it obviously will not clear in a day. Further, the Dempseys appear to still be unaffected today, however my concern comes from the idea I may be put in a position to administer formalin into my water.

As the fish will obviously intake some of this substance through natural processing of the water, along with osmosis, should I have many concerns for the long term well being of my fish under the treatment of an aldehyde solution? Should I keep an eye out for any specifics?

I am planning to get a baby quaker parrot. I need to know if males and females both make good pets. Is it important to have the bird DNA sexed? I have heard about potential problems with egg-binding. Other than that, I don't have negative information on females. I just want a very interactive, fun and loving bird.

My dog, newly named "Houdini", keeps getting out of his wire crate....he's about 14 pounds so I doubt he fits through the holes. When I get home all the doors in the crate are still locked but he is running-at-large around the house...Does anyone have a dog that does this? I've heard of them unlocking the cage door themselves, but unless he gets out, turns around, and re-locks the door, I don't know.

Her cat has no hair around the area and it just looks like its getting worse. There is this tiny hole and if you look closely you can see this little thing move in and out. I thought it was a worm or something but i would like to kno if anyone else knows what it could be.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME ANSWERING WITH
"GO TO THE VET"

My siamese (female) is about 8 months now and has gone into heat a few times now. My bf and I noticed she has been less active (sleeping alot) and not eating any wet food. When she does it it's dry food and not alot of it.
We took her to the vet yesterday and they gave her some fluids and checked her blood (was fine). She was dehydrated.
The vet says she may be acting like this because she hasn't been spayed.

My bf called the vet today to ask advice about this rescue remedy and all they want is money! They said of bring her down and we can watch her for the day. They are guessing about what is wrong, maybe it's this maybe it's that. How much fricking money do I have to spend?! I don't feel the vet wants to help us out in giving any advice they just want us to spend more money!
We will plan on getting her spayed, but in the mean time does any one have any advice because force feeding her does not work + it stresses her out?

I know this is probably a silly question, but we have all hard wood flooring except for a few rugs, and our 2 older dogs are housetrained, but if we leave them alone for too long they do have accidents. Then our puppy we are working on. I am just wondering, why dogs poop on the carpet. Out of all the hard floor we have, they choose our rugs. Why??? I am so tired of dragging them outside (the rugs of course.. lol) and cleaning them because they choose little rugs over regular floor.

I was sent this earlier today. It made my day.
q: do you think this would be a good way to screen calls?:)

Body: Hello, You have reached 123-4567, Tender Hearts
Rescue. Due to the high volume of calls we have been receiving, please listen closely to the following options and choose the one that best describes you or your situation:

Press 1 if you think we are veterinarians and want free medical advice.

Press 2 if you know we are a rescue organization but want to save money and have us give you free, untrained medical advice anyway.

Press 3 if you make $200,000 a year but still want us to pay to spay the "stray" in your yard (house).

Press 4 if you have a 10-year-old dog and your 15-year-old son has suddenly become allergic and you need to find the dog a new home right away.

Press 5 if you have three dogs, had a baby and want to get rid of your dogs because you are the only person in the world to have a baby and dogs at the same time.

I read somewhere that it was okay to use pampers baby wipes, which i have been using but they're not helping. My vet mentioned special wipes, but they are kind of expensive and I just figured that it was the same as the pampers baby wipes. Anyone have any experience or suggestions? I would like to be able to stop his itching. thanks.

I`ve obviously checked out web sites etc. but nothing beats first hand knowledge. Everything says they are very friendly,loving dogs............but I have heard they hate being left. I don`t plan to leave it often, but I doubt they`ll let me take it round Tesco`s! What are they really like? I`ve had a German Shepherd and a flat coat retriever before. Are they much different. Any Advice very welcome.

The vet says its not an infection. The bird weezes, poor thing. Its air holes in its beak are inflamed looking compared to another bird with it. The vet has it on prednizone and we give it that twice a day and it seems to help some. I have never heard of a bird have asthma before, but....

This was prompted by someone asking if a Pit Bull was OK for someone who had never had a dog berore.
All the answers were that a Pit was not for a first time dog. They said you had to be an experinced dog person to get a Pit. Not for a first time dog.
I want to know where you get this experience. Is it having a Rat Terrier or a Beagle? Maybe it should be having a German Shepard, which I know from experience is harder to train then a Pit?
I think that everyone is so full of it. A Pit is a very lovable and sweet dog that anyone will not have any trouble raising.
What so you Pit people think?
