My Betta refuses to eat fish food (dried worms, pellets), but he will gobble up chicken. This is the only food he will eat. Regular fish food will not be touched. Is chicken ok to feed him? Is this healthy for a Betta?

I just noticed today while I was trimming my cat's toe nails, that her back has three clumped hairs. I don't why this is happening. I tried to brush them out but it didn't work. I don't want to go to the vet and spend alot of money when it probably isn't that bad. My cat is about 10 years old. Maybe age is a factor? I don't know. Any ideas on why she might have three clumped hair's on her back? thanks so much.

My parents have never wanted a dog, but for some reason now my mom (who was really against it) all of a sudden is agreeing. I am 17, never really begged them for a dog but I have told them a few times that having a dog would make life a little more exciting.

They agreed but they said only a low maintenance small dog like a chihuahua. Which I wouldn't mind.

So I want a puppy, like only a few days old type. What's the best way to find one? I live in the LA area, in suburbia -_-.

I need help with my Neon Tetras. I had 3 and about one week later 2 of them got sucked up my the filter. Should I get more, or more Goldfish? I didn't get Goldfish before because I thought they would die very soon. Should I get more Neon Tetras or Goldfish? My tank was meant for Goldfish so is that why my Tetras got sucked up?

When I got home from school today, I noticed that my betta made a bubble nest. After looking at my betta more carefully, I realized that his fins are falling apart as well. What does this mean? He seems to be acting normal.

I have a 3yrold lhasa ahpso, named HENDRIX, and lately this past month he's been scratching ridicuously. I gave him advantix, flea collar, flea dip, and he still scratching mainly at his paws and his belly. I took him to the groomer and she said he had no trace of fleas or flea dirty and their are not red areas on his body, which i didnt even see myself, but she gave him the dip anyway. Her diagnosis he has allergies, I have changd his food, dusted what else could it be that keeps him scratching, is their anything I can do to soothe him?


* I cant afford to take him to the VET right this second we have a huge family emergency that I am needing to take care of..so please dont write mean things like you shouldnt hve a dog blah blah....He has all of his shots, and goes to the groomer twice a month he's well taken care of but this FAMILY EMERGENCY is taken more than I expected

My dog had some sort of pimple on her back. When I squeezed it, a dark brown pus came out. It popped out the way pimples do. It seemed a lot of it came out, I'd say three times as much as what comes out of my average zit. What could this substance be?

(I don't usually try to pop zits on my dogs)

This vet i was visiting for the first time diagnosed my dog with seborrhea. He and I got into an argument regarding the cost of his treatment plan(cost was MUCH higher than he originally quoted). He prescribed clavamox and said I could only get it through him.He said he would NOT authorize a prescription so I could get it elsewhere.He acted very pompous and rude. Now, my dog is still miserable and I cannot get Clavamox anywhere without a Rx. And I cannot go back to that vet because he wouldn't even give the Rx for it unless i agreed to the ENTIRE treatment plan. I think it's unfair don't you? What should I do to help my baby feel better and WHERE can I get some clavamox??

and I just realized two are male and one is a female. I know this is the wrong ratio of male/female platies, but will they be okay? One of the males is a Mickey and the other two fish are Sunbursts. The Mickey chased the other male around for awhile and now the other male hides most of the time. The Mickey follows the female Sunburst around. Do you think the loner platy will be okay?

My cat is about 3 years old (human years) and a few months ago we noticed that around her body she has quite a lot of scabs. They're mostly under her chin and around her head, sometimes on her body as well. Is this just from overscratching or flea bites, and if so, what can I do to stop this?

I am purchasing a corn snake on friday. I will buy the following:
1 Corn Snake- 40
1 20 Gallon Long Aquarium w/ secure lid- 56
1 Basking bulb with fixture- 20
1 Under tank heating pad- 24
1 Night-Glo Black Bulb with fixture- 20
2 Half Log hides- 14
1 Large Corner Dish- 10
4 Pinkie mice- 11
1 Bag of Repti-Bark- 8
1 Digital Thermometer- 10
1 Hygrometer- 6

I have the under tank pad and the basking bulb on the same side. Is that okay? I plan for each light to be on for 12 and 12... ok? Should i get a UVA/UVB bulb or basking bulb? Does it matter? Could the UVA/UVB substitute the basking bulb? So, would the UTH, the UVA/UVB Bulb and the Black light be all the heat/light needed? What else would be good? Anything useless?

We have a 2year old female German Shepherd (American bred) and a 1 year and 9 month old male German Shepherd we picked up as a puppy in Germany. We would love to have one set of puppies before we have our female neutered. She is in heat now but our Male (even so he is very interessted) does not exactly know the wheres and the hows. It is funny for us to watch but pretty frustrating for him. Our female is giving him a hart time as well, everytime he is almost there, she sits down or growls at him. We don't want to force it and just take it whenever it should happen, if it wouldl take another year or two that is fine with us as well.
However may be somebody has similar experience and figured out how to help out nicely. Thanks (:

Have you heard that PETA is going to use Michael Vick in a series of adds as a spokesman for them!?

Isn't that something like Osama being a spokesman for the JDL?
(JDL= Jewish Defense League)
