It is raised up maybe a 1/4 of an inch. Its not red or oozing, just stiff and she is not acting like she is in pain. I just want to be sure it is not infected.

Have it in a tank with bark chips, hiding rock, branch for climbing and basking, water and bark mulch is moist. Seems to be thriving by feeding the baby snake turtle food, cut into small pieces. but don't want to overfeed. Read that earthworms and crickets are good eats, but any other suggestions, advice and/or guidance would be GREATLY appreciated.

My Male German Shepard, Diesel, is about 10 months old. I just got him in July. He is going to the vet in a couple of weeks to be neutered.... Should i have his dew claws removed right away? The previous owner told me his are not as normal dew claws are- his are attached to his bone so it will need to be surgically removed. Any advice for me????

What about any of these foods for a baby BD?:

the "Zoomed" Canned BD Food

JurassiDiet Easi-Silkworm

Exo Terra BD Foods

Rep Cal Bearded Dragon Food

Nature Zone Bearded Dragon Bites

Adult Bearded Dragon Monster Diet

**The reason I am asking is that I would like to change my BD food to something artificial because he does not like any veggies

Would i have to add calcium to any or all of these

My godfather lives in a rough area in Chicago called Englewood. He has a crib thats super dirty. Theres a McDonalds bag older than me near his front window that always has bugs crawling all over it. And the bag is there everytime I go over there. Hes one of the junkiest dudes ever, and always stinks and pees on himself cuz hes old and cant hold it. I love him but its the truth. Then on top of this he has this big *** rat named Smoky that lives wit him and just roams around freely. Its not a rat he bought, its a wild rat that came in his house and never left. Hes fine wit this rat living there and doesnt do sh-t to loose it. He calls the rat dude a pet. I think it could kill him but hes not scared. Are rats dangerous?

I just don't understand why Cindy's daily dog poll questions got deleted. Someone please tell me why it was felt they were inappropriate, or not dog related? Each and every one asked a question to the answerer about their pets, nothing more. Gosh, there's tons of "what kind of dog do you have and what's it's name" questions that never get deleted, why the heck would a daily dog poll be such a bad thing?

Can someone please elaborate on this for me as I'm rather confused...

We have tried taking him out of his cage during the day, putting him in the kitchen, it seems to work for a couple days but then I come home from work and his penis is out. The vet says theirs no infection.

I recently added a mirror to my birds cage for companionship. However, he is now throwing all his seed from his feeder onto the bottom of the cage. I am having to fill up his food dish 3+ times each week. Is there a possibility that he does not like "the other" bird that the mirror represents?

what are the effects of using a muzzle on a dog? Will this make him more aggressive.

I want a bearded dragon and my dad doesnt. He wants me to get a corn snake. I like corn snakes but i think lizards are equally fun and cool. He doesnt want me to get a BD because of the diet. He thinks that it is too much trouble. He does not like the idea of a mix of fresh chopped veggies with crickets that also have calcium on them. Is he right? I keep seeing the BD as a beginner reptile but it seems hard? What do you think? I think they seem fun and energetic....

that I left the dog poll questions open so that more people could participate to get started?

Did you know that I have a LONG TERM plan and direction for the questions?

Did you know the poll is a SERIES of questions, meant to spark related questions or give Dog lovers some information in a fun - NON confrontational format?

Did anyone notice that yesterday's question about microchips contained something besides the question - just a hint to check your contact info on your microchip or tatoo if you haven't done so in awhile?

Did you know that they were GONE, removed by someone who didn't like them?

These are DOG questions. I'm asking nicely for answers from whoever it is that is so angry?

My parents' just called and want me to decide if they should put down my dog, we grew up together. He's 10 years old right now, an Australian terrior, he has been diagnosed with diabetes for 3 years now, both his eyes is blinded by glucoma, he bumps into walls all the time. Although he's still active, but he can't function in the house. We used to stick him daily to give him insulin injections before meals. Do you think it's time to let him go? 10 years old is that still young or is it consider to be old

I have a ten year old **** tzu dog.He has a couple of lumps on his neck,which is now thought to be tumours.
He is not ill in any way,and is eating okay,and still plays etc,but the only outward signs he has is that he rubs his back sometimes,whick causes his fur there to thin.(this is to do with the tumours).
On his last check he had quite a substantial heart murmour too.
I have been told his heart is weak for being put out,but they have said he should have a biopsy on the lump.
I dont know what to do for the best,should I put him through a biopsy,that could affect him,or let him live as he is at the moment as no one knows whether his life is shortened by this or not.
Thanks.Need advice,especially if you know about this.

If you didn't, or whatever, will you please give a reason why instead of just reporting?

Thanks.

He is about 2 years old. He gets fleas a lot. I give him a flea bath once a month, spray the apartment with flea spray, use flea drops on him, use flea powder on the carpet and brush him. When I took him to the vet a year ago she told me his skin was just bumpy and scaley from fleas and it will just go away. Well it has not and we only have a very small flea problem now so I really don't think it is the fleas making his skin bumpy and scaley. He also is loosing hair. I have another cat who has no problems at all?? What could be wrong? Is there anything I can feed him/ put on him to make him better. He is always licking and scratching himself and getting his dead skin all over and hair! Yuck!
