My cat, 6 yrs old, could possibly have kidney failure (it might be a bladder infection but I won't find out for another 2 weeks after antibiotics); he's still energetic and doesn't show any signs of illness. Ironically I have kidney disease as well and am using natural remedies like dandelion root tea and other herbs. Wheatgrass has also improved my health a lot. I am wondering these herbs would apply to cats as well?

Does anyone have any suggestions for diet (should it be homemade)? I've been doing research and they all say low salt, but some sites say good high quality protein while others say low protein. And should I stop using the chemical Frontline (flea medicine) on my cat?

Also, where on my cat are his kidneys located?

Thanks!

I really need to give my dogs a bath but i ran out of dog shampoo and i cant really get to a store right now. I was wondering if it would be ok if i used my shampoo that I use for my hair. I've read the bottles and it doesnt really say anything. So would it be ok or would they get skin irritation or something?
Please help!!!!

Help! i have a male bichon whos 12 weeks old and he just does not seem to get house breaking. I am trying to crate train him and he seems to just whine nonstop. i have been using the treat method to get him comfortable but he'll want to walk right out. if i close the crate door he'll be ok as long as i'm right there but everytime i try to leave the room he cries.

When i am around the house watching him he doesnt have any telltale signs that hes about to go. he literally just walks around like normal and all of a sudden he stoops. Since i'm watching him i always catch him and scold him and he'll usually stop immediately and i take him outside, and he'll just lay down. i'll pick him up but it always ends up the same. so i'll bring him inside and he'll randomly finish later.

I've also tried the pee pad which he doesnt react to at all, nor the spray. soooo anyone have any ideas of what to do to help? or is it simply a matter of time?

ps sorry for the bad grammer

My 16 year old cat has cancer, and I have to euthanise him very soon. I'm trying to figure out how to handle this with regards to my other cat, who is 7. For instance, should I take the older cat to the vet in the carrier and then bring home the empty carrier and let him see that it's empty? Any and all advice will be much appreciated!!! Thanks.

I had a golf-ball-sized tumor removed from my rat's armpit area for $327. It included the initial vet visit fee, the biopsy fee, and the medication afterwards. Is this a reasonable price, or did I get ripped off?

I have a 7 month old puppy that has an appointment to get spayed in two weeks. This morning we discovered she is in heat. Can we still take her to her appointment in two weeks? Is this to early for a puppy to be in heat?

Thanks for the help!

He's still only a baby but there is interest in using him for breeding (he's a minature schnauzer if that makes a difference, with a pedigree as long as your arm!) but we don't know how much to charge.

I have a 4 month old male English Bulldog. When the time is right I would like to have him neutered. I have come across conflicting ideas as to the age it should be done with this breed. Some say 6 months,like most dogs. Others say wait 1 year and others say wait until they are completely matured (2 years) Apparently some people think if you don't wait until they are 2 they may miss out on the benefits of their testosterone surge, and may not develop the way a male bulldog should ( broad shoulders, thick neck etc.) I really hope that somebody with some real knowledge of the breed can help me out. thanks

She turned up at our house pregnant and stuck around since then, and she was a mellow, friendly cat. Even after she had her kittens she was mellow, a bit more protective, but mellow.. Recently she's been going crazy. She'll roll over to be rubbed, and then she'll just bite out of nowhere! She's never bitten before, and now she does it constantly. Sometimes she rolls around and has her mouth open a little and tries to attack things. She even attacked one of her kittens! I don't know what's wrong with her :c Help!

Are you planing anything for Pit Bull Awareness Day in your community?
Here's a link where you can see what communities already have something planned and a resource of information you can get to pass out at your event, coloring sheets for kids, etc...
