I dont think what we are doing now is working, so what is the answer? I think maybe something like Germany. You would have to be licensed to be able to breed each specific animal (cats, dogs, hamsters, ect.) and before you are able to breed two animals they must pass a health exam including stuff like OFA for the hips and CERT for the eyes. Am I way off?? What do you think??

I was reading a previous post regarding dog food. I understand when buying dog food, you want to look at the ingredients, not just at the ingredients but the primary and secondary. I feed my dogs nutro - all of them has been on nutro simply because our vet recommended it and can be purchased at a pet store easily. However there is a site that rates dog foods but doesn't say how it is rated except for listing out the percentages of protein, fat, and fiber. Should an owner be concerned be concerned about fiber? I know as humans we need fiber to ... ahem poop? what about dogs? some dogs food has high protein but very low fiber. what is best for the dog? I have corgis if that helps answer my question

We have a squirrel laying in a tree in our yard. He is laying on a branch and every once in a while it squeaks. We tapped the tree and it ran into another one. Could it be hurt or is this normal?

I was transporting my corn snake in a car, a VW polo 2006. I left him in the car to go to class, and checked on him before I left. When I came back 2 hrs later he was gone. The lid of the tank was slightly open, however he is strong enough to push the entire lid off and sometimes does, but has never actually left the tank. I cannot find him anywhere under the seats etc. Any idea where he could be?? is it possible he could be behind the dash board? Is it possible he could have escaped from the car?? I left several mice sitting around the car in the hope he would come out but he hasn't. Can anyone help?? He's about 3 feet long as still quite slender, his thickest part is no more than an inch wide.

It's a paste/supplement that you put in their mouth for the immune system supposed to help the cats to be less sick. It's called either Virolys or Verolys?? My vet told me about this but I wanted to know if anyone has tried this??

She had a littler of 3. A Siamese,Calico and a pure white kitten. She even has blue eyes. (aswell as the white kitten).

As of yesterday, I had 4 neon tetras, 3 gold neon tetras, 2 dalmatian mollies, and 4 tiger barbs in my 20 gallon fishtank. Late last night, I looked at my aquarium and saw one my tiger barbs upside down squirming in between rocks. When I woke up this morning he was dead. This is the first time any of my fish have died in the lifetime of the aquarium (1 year, 5 months). Please help me answer these questions:

1) How come when the barb died, he didn't float to the top? I thought when fish die, they float to the top but the tiger barb just is laying at the bottom. I'm positive he is dead by the way.

2) Over the lifetime of the aquarium, the tiger barbs never nipped at the fins of the tetras, even though people have told me that tiger barbs are aggressive and will do so. Now that i have an odd number of tiger barbs (three), will they nip at the other fishes' fins? Is it necessary to buy a fourth barb?

3) Should I flush the fish down the toilet or bury him in my yard?

Thanks in advance.

I have 4 yr old seal point (siamese) cat. He is an indoor cat that got outside a couple of weeks ago. He got fleas really bad and subsequently, worms. I have given him flea baths, treatments and dewormer. I even treated the house. He still has fleas and worms. I have noticed in the past few days that he is losing patches of fur all over his body and his tongue is starting to turn blue-black in the center. We can't afford a vet. All our money goes to my son's doctors' bills. I don't know what to do! Please help!

it was a month to month. he says that he didnt break the contract by saying i had to get rid of my dog. he keeps telling me that i have to give him thirty days notice. but why should i have to give that to him when he breaks the contract. he says that even if he kicks me out i have to pay for thirty days. this sounds crazy to me. now he wants to take me to court. i moved to this place specificly because i knew i could have my dog there. she was a rescue dog and when i got her i had to move to a place that took dogs. so i went to this place. do i have a case or am i going to have to pay this guy.
