But not too much more expensive? I'm on a budget, but I want my dogs to be healthy.

After being gravely ill the last 2 days, believe it our not, my vet just diagnosed diabetes in my cat. I was not prepared for this and I am trying to find out what a basic maintenance plan will cost a month to adjust my budget accordingly

How much is a bottle of insulin? "Lantus"

Whats your experience with cat diabetis?

My boxer/lab is about 5 months old. He's on Canidae right now but the vet gave me some Merrick Puppy Plate that I didn't even know they sold! I really wanted to give him some variety and mix the two, is that ok? What do you think?

I was just laying with my dog on my bed and when he got up there was a tiny white-ish worm were his butt was. I put the worm in a container just in case. I got him two months ago and he was clean and I use heartgard plus. I can't call my vet until Monday but should I be worried?

I heard there was an episode of the dog whisperer where Caesar teaches someones dog to not be aggressive toward other animals. I have a pit and he is somewhat aggressive toward a cat and I want another pit, but I do not want him being this way with the new dog. Can anyone tell me what that episode of the dog whisperer was about? Thanks.

We were walking into the Humane Society and a couple was turning in a stray dog. They rescued him and had for about 2 weeks, no one answered to their ads and posters. They gave him to us! We know he's brindle. But Boxer or Pitbull? He also has alot of Black Lab (webbed paws). Any suggestions? Thanks!

Here are some pictures...

I have spent the last 11 years training dogs but strangely enough, I have never owned a male and female dog at the same time until now. I have a 5 year old male german shepherd and a 4 year old female bullmastiff. Over the last year my bullmastiff has started urinating in multiple spots in the backyard, it looks like she is marking spots like my male does. I took her to the vet and they didnt find anything wrong with her. They didnt do an MRI but did an xray and all the basic blood and urine work. Has anyone out there had a female dog that mimics there male dogs marking behavior??

With over 35 years of full time experience with horses this is a first. One of our geldings has recently had two attacks of fly strike in his sheath. He is 16 years old in very good condition. The poor horse was so uncomfortable, very restless, kicking up at his belly, with a sheath full of maggots eating him alive. He got in to such a state that he then developed colic, luckily mild.Very distressing. It took the vet two visits before discovering the problem as this is aparently very unusual. Has any one come across this? How does it happen? Why at this time of the year, September, when the weather has got colder and there are few flies around? What type of fly does this? What can we do to prevent this? The horse is otherwise healthy, is out in a field during the day, stabled at night and regularly sprayed with a fly spray.

i have a 9 month old mini dachshund and a 3 month old. the 3 month old tries to seem alpha by "riding" the elder. the elder will take it but then will mark everywhere. what do i do to deter him from doing so? neither one is neutered yet. the elder will be this coming week but the younger is my stud. any good ideas for stopping the marking?? (i do try to keep thier "mommy time" equal btw)
i am looking for home remedies though. we have a very limited budget, but all ideas are welcome!
thanks!

I have a flea problem in my apartment. I got rid of my cat because I could not afford to treat her, as well as my home. I just used the flea foggers they tell you to use. I cleaned my place like crazy after it was safe to go back in the apartment. I vaccummed the whole place after sprinkling the flea powder every where. The day after I cleaned the apartment I have seen one jump on me and I killed it. I know I will probably still have a few fleas in the house because not all of them will die. I am just wondering since I do not have a cat any more and I did all of the above to rid my house of fleas....If it is at all possible for them to reproduce and cause another flea infestation with just human blood. I nkow they bit humans, they do not live on us. This would be a great relief to find this out.

Cremation, bury him in your yard in a nice box, some people actually have them stuffed and sit them around the house.

It hurts me tremendously just to think about my dogs dying. But we have to prepare for their death just like we would our own. If your the kind of owner that actually cares about your pet. Especially my chihuahua, he is so human like some times its freaky. When he goes I'll probably need a prescription for Xanax, he definitely has my heart.

I adopted 2 lovebirds that had been together their entire lives, around 8 years. 1 of them died yesterday, I did not notice any symptoms, and the other one appears to be fine. Should I get the survivor another cage mate or will he be O.K. alone, and possibly allow me to hand train him. What would be healthier for him?

I've noticed a change in her over the past week. She is well-cared for, she's with me 24 hours a day. She eats well, and goes to the dog park 2-3 times a week. We have two other dogs in our household.
She is usually very energetic(about a year old) and playful. Lately she has been holding her head low, and is moping around. I am hoping someone can offer possible solutions. I have no reason to think that she is in physical pain, as I have been with her and haven't noticed any injuries.
She is still affectionate, and has started sitting in my lap. (She's a Belgian Malinios, not a lap dog, lol!)
Possible reasons for her change? Any help is appriciated.

My threadfin butterfly has white spots at the very tip of his tail, and top of his fin only. He is eating normally, and is not exhibiting an unusual behavior. I started running a UV sterilizer last night. I can't decide if I should setup a hospital tank (I have inverts, so can't treat for ich in the main tank). Is this ich, or possibly something else? How long can I 'wait and see'?

He doesn't do it all the time, but I do have a related question - how much, and how often should you feed a normal-sized cat? He seems to eat a lot more than other cats I've seen. Can he be getting that hungry between feedings?
