For about 2 or 3 days now my 6ish year old cat Ash appears to be limping around. She still manages to jump on chairs or up the stairs, but she seems to almost collapse sometimes when she puts her wait on her back right leg it seems, might be both. We are going tot he vets tomorrow with her to get it checked out, but was hoping someone here might be able to give an answer. She doesn't appear to be in much pain, and is acting normally, if a bit more lazy.
Thanks

Paws are yellowish, lips are yellowish but he's active as usual. What can i do to make him better throughout the nite (no vets opened now).Im worried for him. Anyone can suggest home remedies for my kitty so that his nose and lips would look pink again?

The woman is selling him because she is pregnant and moving and it's too much for her. She's had him from a puppy and he seems VERY happy. Big personality, little body. She did get him from a pet store but has the paperwork with the lineage.

My two concerns, he has not been neutered and in the middle of each eye it looked like he had something in his eye. I thought it was gunk or maybe fuzz, but I looked closer and it's almost a grey spot, not fully cloudy. He doesn't seem blind or affected by it and like I said he is very happy and an outgoing dog.

We have another dog at home who is a neutered male wheaten terrier, so I'm concerned about bringing in another dog who is so small. Especially if this dog becomes sick.

I'm going to call my vet as well, but I've been looking online and can't seem to find anything that looks like it.

Is it true that the first pup that is born is the best? Is it actually better than the rest?

Our Great Pyrenees dog can't open her mouth more than an inch. She doesn't seem to be in distress -- happy even, just a little worried. We know she chews on things in the yard. Our first idea was lockjaw / tetanus - but she doesn't seem sick in any way. My husband has forced her lips open and can't get the jaw to open - but there doesn't seem to be any injury or infection that he can see.

Any other ideas we should look for why she can't open her jaw?

I am thinking seriuosly of getting an African Grey and have already read a lot about the pros and cons of owning one. I came across this website. Please please please inspect it as thoroughly as you a have time for and tell me if this is the reality of owning a parrot or if African Greys are different.:

the puppy i'm going to buy is also a german shepherd. Both are males. Do you think they would get along? or would they fight. I have a doberman and it fights with the GSD although they grew up together. They are seperated now. I'm going to keep the new GSD puppy with the 2 yr old one.

Please let me know soon. Im planning on buying the pup in about another 3 weeks.

Thanks

Sorry my question was worded strangely, but there is a lack of space to ask longer questions. My 19 year old cat has started, in the last couple of months, from time to time, to produce a very deep whining sound.She is,nt in pain,and is otherwise perfectly happy,but for some reason,she does this a few times a day.

I have a 75 gallon aquarium with a Tetratec pf500 external filter. It works great at keeping my water clear, but its soooooooo noisy!!! I've had it for about 2 years, and its been an on-going problem. I was wondering if there was something wrong with just my filter or if anyone else has had problems with noise??

My papillon is getting progressively WORSE with his potty training. More and more he is going inside as opposed to outside, and he has even started going in his kennel after only an hour! (Middle of the night he use to sleep through, no accidents)

Now will spanking his butt really affect him? I think not, let me know how you trained your seemingly hopeless pet please!

A bird appears to have nested in my garage. I left food crumbs in there so it does not starve, and left the garage open for a day, but it did not leave. Any suggestions on getting the bird to leave for a more suitable living arrangement?

My cat who is 1 and a half years old is acting really really odd. She's super stiff, and will barely walk, but she walks really slow and... stifflike. She's dripping urine and is really lethargic. She isn't spayed yet. Could anyone know what could cause this?? :'( PLEASE

I just purchased a 3 month old Shiba Inu puppy. For the first 2 days I had him, he urinated only outside, but lately he has been going all over the house (both pee and poo). A woman I work with told me to crate train him, but I don't want to do that for the simple fact that the vet diagnosed him with bronchitus (kennel cough from the pet shop), and hook worms. If I were to even try to train him using a kennel, I would have to take him out every hour to give him medicine, on top of taking him to do his duty (+ he likes to pee in the kennel anyways). I bought puppy pads and he goes on them occasionally, but most of the time he won't pee on them. What is the easiest way to house train him? I need help before my boyfriend returns him to the pet store!!!!! thanks! :)

Is there any antibiotic for dogs that I can purchase at a pet store. I have new puppy 2 days old that I rescued. His mom was very aggressive towards the litter and basically pulled the layers off of one of the puppies tails. There is nothing left but raw meat. When I talked to the vet he said it should heal on it's own. I think he has infection in it. I'm not sure if this puppy is going to survive. I wanted to see if anyone has any knowledge of an over the counter antibiotic. I feel like after the response I got from the vet, it would be a waste of time and money to take him If anyone doesn't have any suggestions I am going to take him to the vet this afternoon. From what they say, I'm not sure if it will do any good but I can't just sit around and do nothing.

Took my 9 MONTH old kitty to the vet, she was "leaking" blood, going to her litter box every 5/10 mins or so.
She is indoors only, eats the food that OUR VET recommended.
She eats and drinks normally.

So my kitty started going to her litter box every 5 mins or so, but not actually peeing.
When she went to her bed I noticed she was "leaking" blood...

I called my vet and was told to go to emergency.

I met my vet there, and she examined the cat, made her pee and there was a lot of blood.

She says that because of her bad diet, she already has crystals, which is making her not filter things through, making her bleed.

My vet says its called a lower UTI.
...So, what's the matter here?! I've been giving her the food that MY VET RECOMMENDED when I first got my kitty.

Now I have two different medicines to give my cat every 8 hrs. and she will have to eat Hills CD prescription food.

I don't know if I should trust my vet. I will give my cat the medicine, but what about her diet?
