I rescued 5 baby kittens about two months ago. I took them to the vet after I had them for about a week. They were all fine healthy and very busy. The vet said one had an upper respirtory infection but I saw no signs (ie) watery eyes or lack of appitiet. She also said they had worms so she administered the worm treatment and put them all on an antibotic. Within two hours the little one just stopped breathing and his brother has not been right since. We have named him Mr. Wobbles he looks like he is drunk all the time. I am going to be getting them vacinated in the next few weeks (by a different vet of course) but I am worried about Mr. Wobbles what if he gets worse. I am also concerned about when we get him fixed how being put under will affect him. I would appreciate it if anyone has any similar stories or would know what could be the cause for what happened.

I have a 8 month old boxer. I'm hoping to correct this behavior before it's a habit. I know, naturally, he wants to protect me and his yard, which is wonderful, but he's going overboard. The neighbors are going to start hating us! I'd like to teach him that 1 or 2 barks are ok, but then to trust that I can handle it from there. Suggestions?

If Cujo's owner had gotten him a rabies shot, he would have been a good dog? Debate with my boss about if some animals are just born bad or if their environment is at fault. I think all start out right till someone messes them up.

We have a Baby Yorkie who is 4 months old. We got him around a month ago. At first, he had both ears down and looked normal. A week or so passed and he kept his right ear up and left ear down, and now he has left ear up and right ear down. He is well and is doing fine, its just he keeps one ear up and one down, whats going on?!

I want to get a cat and keep it outdoors only. How do you do this when you bring it home? Are there steps you take in order for it to become completely outdoors without it running away?

Well today i was leaving for my Vo-Tech school from my normal school and there was this dog sitting infront of the school doors just peering in at the kids eating lunch. So me and a few other votech kids went out and started playing with it and everything else. Shes a real friendly dog , and look exactly like my dog i already have.

So instead of catching the bus to votech , i skipped and took her home with me , My other dog and her got along real well and played for awhile , they look exactly alike except she has alittle longer fur and doesnt have a black snout.

But im having trouble deciding the right thing to do. I feel like shes one of my own already. She doesnt have any tags or anything so i didnt want to call the pound because i dont want her to get put to sleep.

Any thoughts on what i should do ?? At the moment im just keeping her

I am looking into getting a new puppy. My mom said no because she can not afford to feed and take to the vet a new dog (would make total of 4), 3 cats, and my sister's rats. I have a job and some savings so I don't think that the cost would be that bad. She said that if I pay for it and take on the cost of my other dog that she'll strongly consider it. I figure that the first year will cost around $1,000-1,500. I'll need: cage, food, food bowl, leash and collar, puppy class, shots, neuter, grooming supplies (brushes, scissors, clippers-- for cocker spaniel), and some chew toys. What do you think it'll cost?

Can a lynx fit on a normal person's shoulder?

I'm asking this because I'm doing an art assignment and was wondering if a normal lynx can fit on a normal person's shoulder. Please don't say a baby lynx can.

I have been raising a month old kitten. My cat (his mother) abandoned him and his sister within 3 days of giving birth. So, sister died not long after that and sort of random too. Totally fine one day, and then gone the next. No signs, or symptoms of any illness, except they both had crusty eyes.(Which I kept clean all the time!) I know this is a sign of respitory infections. My little guy was fine last night, but when I woke up this morning he was limp and cried a bit when I picked him up. I tried CPR and my fiance kept telling me he was already dead and that his movements were just reflexes. I didn't want to believe him though. Oh it was awful!!! Anyone know if he might have been physically defective from birth and that is why momma cat, dismissed the both of them from the get go? I am still grieving a bit, so be gentle.

Ok my (2) little babies are 5 weeks old now and very active. I purchased a new box for them because mom and dad have their own I put my little smokey in the litter box and helped him scratch his paw and he got the idea right away. Now my little kimba, well she seems to be a little bit of a late bloomer, I placed her in the box also but she started to eat the litter and now shes just going everywhere, especially at night when she climbs up on the bed and sleeps next to me, i guess she's warm when she wakes up and just let's it out. What do I do, I know I need a little more patience, but there's only so many times I want to go to the laundry to wash kitty pee off my sheets. Thank God they don't have that grown up cat amonia smell yet, anyhow, please give me suggestions. Thank you.

Has anyone used a "wireless fence" for a cat? Does it work? Does it need training? Which device did you use? Please, I need help, because I just took 2 kittens I rescued to a horse riding club, which is perfevt for them, but the problem is that there is a high traffic road passing nearby and one of the cats who lived there already was killed by a car today. So please let me know how i can confine them, but I can't go there and put wires on the property that is not mine!

They will be 3 weeks old this Saturday. They whine a lot, are gassy, their stools are yellow and runny with a cottage cheese-like subatance, one tried to throw up last night, several have been coughing, and little bit sneezed her head off with some discharge from her nose.

I have a lovely little kitten who loves to scoop his dry food from his bowl and throw it onto the floor. I am wondering why he does this and how I can prevent it. He likes the food. He eats it often. He just likes to throw it around and mess up the kitchen floor before he has dinner. Any ideas?
