I took my pit to the vet and was told it was most likely a false pregnancy but to come back at 45 days. I know now she is pregnant because i feel the puppies moving around. This was not an intended pregnancy and I am very concerned with my dog. She is eating quality dog food but only when she feels like it, like once a day.Is there anything I can do for her.

This Saturday I have a birthday party planned at 9pm for me and a friend there will probably be 20 guests in a small apartment. There will probably be loud music and smoke and lots of people making lots of noise. I was supposed to pick up my new 2 month old Pug that day, I should probably wait until Sunday right? Yes, I know this may be a stupid question.

My husband and I went to adopt a kitten. It was sooo cute, gray with white paws. But in order to be considered we had to fill out like 7 forms , a background investigation and 100 dollars. After we applied and everything we but we were beat out by a couple with a bigger home. I was so upset. And I dont just want to outside and pick up a stray. Is there an agency with an easier way to adopt?

i now have 5 Pink Zebra Danios and 5 Leopard Danios but i want to have a Senegalus as it looks so unique... i was just wondering which of the 2 is easier to care for... (breeding is not part of it)... and which of the 2 requires better care including water conditions... in short which of the two would live longer in a more harsh condition than the other...

she does take him out to walk around a couple times a day but is it good for the animal to be in a small setting like that for at least 7 hours a day or longer depending on day. She has been doing this for at least two weeks that i know of monday through friday and its everyday.

I've noticed that my 9 month old kitten has gotten very skinny over the past month. He's always been on the slender side, but he's become way too skinny. I know that he eats like a pig because I see him eating and I can hear him eat. He also throws up a lot. I don't notice it because he swallows it right away. My 1 year old cat is huge, he's got a little fat pouch. I just recently moved, so could that have something to do with it? Is there anything that I can do right now, since I don't have the money at this time to take him to the vet. SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!!

The puppy has only been with me for a few days now, and is having trouble adjusting to sleeping alone at night. I do not have a cage yet, and would considered it worth while to purchase one if it would help. I live in a small apartment with her and it is just us, but she is so small now that I am afraid of her getting hurt while she is laying in bed. The real trouble comes from her constant crying when alone, is there any way to help her get over that? It wouldn't be so bad, but my walls don't do much to block out the sound, so I lay awake at night feeling like a bad person, until finally I go and get her and spend the whole night trying to stay just consious enough not to roll over on her. It doesn't help that I am a big softy when it comes to training. Do I risk the posibility of depressing her if I all of a sudden try to put her in a cage at night? I am trying to establish a comfort toy with her, but she doesn't seem to be getting anything from it. What can I do to help?

I have a black lab, and his coat is becoming very thin, and is even getting bald in some spots. This has just been happening over the last month or so. He is only about 1.5 years old, and has a very good diet. Is there a shampoo I can use that will help him?? His skin is so dry and he seems miserable. He doesnt have fleas, but he scratches constantly. Any suggestions?

We rescued a cat about 3 months ago, she walked into our house one day and never left since. Well she does leave, spends most nights and some of the day outside (we have a garden), but comes back every day.
Now we are moving abroad and in a flat in the centre of town. I know she loves hunting, brings mice every other day and shes just not happy inside.
I have found a lady who rehomes cats with an elderly home, or should i say estate, with acres of land.
I feel very saddened to leave her but could not bear the thought of her being unhappy in a close environment either.
Whats worse for a cat, trauma of leaving us or trauma of living indoors...Any advice?

Hi, my tank is cycling, and is about two weeks in.

I have no fish in it.

I want to add a few mollies in a few days.

I know I can do this, so please don't send me info on cycling - I DON'T NEED IT.

At the moment, the water is slightly yellow. I've done a 30% water change a few days ago and it's improved and continues to improve since then.

I'm going to change the ornaments (decided against them), which will remove some of the decaying food which made it yellow.

Therefore the tank water will be better.

#1 Is it safe to add the fish with the algae or whatever it is (I know it's safe otherwise, just not with the algae)
#2 Is it okay to add a couple of live plants? Should I do this before or after fish?

Please don't answer if you're not gonna answer my question. It's just a waste of your time. I'm fed up with people answering questions that I don't need answering and not answering the ones I need.

I've been seeing a dog out in a very remote area for about a week now, where it looks like he was dumped. He's been afraid to get in the car until last night, I finally got him. I've had calls in to the shelters, rescue and state police since I started seeing him in case he was lost. Finally, last night, he stopped being afraid and got into my car.

He's going to the vet but I was curious NOW........ is there a way for the vet to be able to tell if he has any shots or what shots he's had? I've gotten all my dogs before from shelters or rescues so I never had to deal with this before... I always had some background on them. Thanks so much!!!

My grandma recently passed away and I am caring for her 2 budgies. They keep chirping and driving my husband mad. Do they just chirp for no reason or do they want something? Is there anything I can do to tone them down a bit?

out from under my fence and running around my neighborhood. No matter how many times I patch the holes she just digs another hole. Now when I let her out I have to keep her on a leash and I hate to do that. She is a Border Collie mix so I know she loves to run around but I just cant trust her not to dig out. Any suggestion? Please help!!
