I just added live sand into my salt water tank, and the water got really cloudy. I have the filtering system running and the water is still not clear. Anything I can do clear the water up?

A stray that we feed and take care to some extent is staying in front of my house since this morning. She used to stay before but it was only for a while. However, today, she keeps sleeping and having rest. Besides her long stay, I find nothing unusual such as groaning. What do you think? Is she sick or just having a rest?

I have a 4 year old husky and all of a sudden she's been having seizures, they were short ones and when I took her to the vet, they told me to change to a dog food with "easy digestive" so I swiched to Pedigree. Well she was doing good for a year and just had one about 5 minutes long and scared the crap out of me! I don't know if there's any way I can prevent it or help her any way when she has one, I just get so scared but I try to stay calm for her. What triggers it and is there warning signs I should look for?

I know stealing a dog is wrong but it needs help.

I have been renting my house for a year and I'm moving out in a month. My neighbors have a mini poodle that always escapes when they open the door. They have to chase the dog all over before they can catch it. When they catch it they hold it up and beat it and scream at it for a while then take it back inside.

I'm thinking that the next time their dog gets loose into my yard, I should just run out and catch it then hide it in my house (I have never heard the dog make a sound so I'm sure it will be quiet). When I move I can take it with me and find it a new home.

There is no animal rescue or humane society where I live. I have tried to call animal control about 50 times in this past year and they NEVER answer. I have even gone all the way across town a few times to the animal control station and they are always closed. I am moving to another city in a month so there is not much time left.

So do you think I could just take the dog with out getting in trouble?

I just moved across the country with my pug Odus 2 weeks ago, hes 2 years old and has never had a problem going before. I have to take him outside on a leash now since I live in an apartment now instead of a house. He seems to have a huge problem going while he's on a leash, hes going 2 - 3 days without pooing! He doesn't have an issue peeing, but he will not go poo. As gross as this sounds I know he has to go, you can see the poo. Help! what do I do!? I've even tried putting olive oil in his food the last few days, and still nothing.

Here are the symptoms:

1: Licking off huge patches of fur wherever she can reach.
2: Fur on the back of her neck is falling off in patches (she does not wear a collar)
3: Out of character purring
4: Personality change (friendlier, less quick to attack)
5: Labored breathing at times.
6: Loss of shine in coat
7: strange lumps on the back of her front arms, which seem to have short whiskers

Here are the stats:
8 Years old
Small frame, normal weight
Normal eating habits

She is an ex-ferrel cat, and she is a mouser, she completely eats the mice she gets. Same with water-bugs. It seems to me that something is wrong with her, you can tell. She often looks like she's in pain, head down, eyes half-closed, and ears turned back slightly.

Dog at large at least once a month. The neighbors do not care about property lines or boundaries and I've already called the dog catcher before so they could get a verbal warning. I've also called about one of their dogs barking for over an hour at 6am.
This time the neighbors actually came out to retrieve the dog from running around the block loose and I watched them carry the dog back by it's front paws. The little dog was squirming and whining to get free.
I don't want the neighbors to hate me because I do care about boundaries, even though they make our living situation terrible with letting their kids and dogs have run of my property, but I still feel like they should have SOME kind of responsibility as a pet owner.
I've been taking pictures of everytime their dogs run loose and I'm pretty sure they think I'm the jerk for reporting it.

What would you do?

My brother has an American Pitbulll Terrier who is 6 months old. Every time my mother goes near him, he starts growling. One day, my brother left him home with my mother and the dog started barking and looked like he was ready to attack. My brother bring Davinci (the dog) around his friends and other people and he never growls or anything. He is actually playfully and nice. What is going on? Is there a way for this to stop? Does he hate my mother? Is so, why? Davinci (the dog) is nice to my mom only when my brother is there. Is it because he is not used to being around my mother? I really need some answers as i cant find anything online to help me out.

What cheep food can I give to my crickets that I'm trying to breed. I need something nutritious for the cricket AND the frogs and anoles who are going to eat them, but I need it to be cheep. Is cat food an option?

No answers from inexperienced ones. I'd like some one who's breed crickets before, to answer this. Thanks!

I have considered starting a rescue for quite some time now. I am now at the perfect point in my life to do so, as I will have six months off and then only be working part time after that.

If you have a bird that you feel would do better else where as you dno't have the time or money for their care, or it needs an experienced owner, I would be very happy to hear from you.

Regards,

Jenny

I ask how long they stay pregnant because My vet told me 54-62 days and my friend that is a vet told me 52-67 depending on the breed. I was looking for someone who has a dane to ask them. My dane is healthy and has a great temperment and great with all people. she is 34 days pregnant. To the person who said spay her well you need to spay yourself. You are rude....
