Is it okay and safe to keep them outside in water? Can it get too cold for them? Do they always stay underwater?

I was at my aunt's house talking with my cousin and suddenly out of no where I hear their 7-year-old chihuahua crying really loud so I automatically thought a car had run over it or something, but turns out my aunt's husband was kicking it and hitting it because it had ran away and just came home. There was no way I could run to the dog and help it because I thought my aunt's husband would get mad at me. After that I told my parents that I wanted to go home, and on the way home all I did was cry. I know it seems childish, but I really feel bad when an animal gets hurt, not only that but I'm a big dog lover. Do you think I'm stupid for crying?

I just brought a kitten into my home where there are two adult cats. One has received him well, but the other one doesn't like him. Will they eventually get along, or should I send the kitten back to the shelter from which he came from. The kitten is young and cute and cuddly and would definitely be adopted, but I did not expect one of our adopted cats to be so pissed off by his presence.

I do give affection to the cat who does not like the kitten, but I am wondering if he will come around and eventually like the kitten.

What is your opinion on what I should do? I Would not have to give the kitten back to the shelter, but at the same time, I would not want one of my existing cats to be uncomfortable with the new kitten. I would appreciate any experiences that you may have.

My two kittens were diagnosed with upper respiratory a little while ago and were prescribed (among other things) 0.5ml of viralys gel every 12 hrs. After doing a little research on it, I haven't seen much positive to say about it... anyone have any experience with it?

One of the kittens was also put on a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Both seem to be much better; I wish that the second kitten could have stayed on the antibiotic but shortly after it was administered she vomited twice and had extremely liquid diarrhea so she was taken off of it.

Their symptoms have pretty much subsided aside from the occasional sneeze.

The vet told me to finish the entire bottle of viralys. Is this generally the recommended practice with this medication?
Any info you can give me is appreciated.

Does anyone know if cats have to be licensed in St.Louis County? Specifically, the city of Normandy? All I could find on the Normandy City Hall website was dog licensing.

Mabel has had ear infections due to the peculiar makeup of cocker-type ears for-forever. One vet cleaned them with a water pik while she was sedated, she's been on antibiotics, some suggested remedies have worked for awhile, and I clean them as best I can--they're puffy inside and smelly and full of black yeasty stuff. My vet said she really needs the total ear oblation (I think) where surgeons remove the entire inner ear, as I understand it. She shakes her head, whimpers, rubs them and has even hit her ears so hard on a wall that they became swollen with blood that required draining. The operation is some $1500.00. That's just impossible for me. Even the vet said she wouldn't do it for her own dog (maybe just to make me feel better). I give her enteric aspirin some days or a benedryl, I've used over the counter and prescribed solutions and ointments. Just bought another one today--Sulfodene Ear Cleaner with Aloe, but it contains alcohol-which stings. Any ideas? I'm desperate & DONE.

My wonderful cat is not feeling right. He is such a lovely sweet affectionate cat. The whole day he has been laying under a bed, not moving, and howling awfully loud...it is so sad to hear. I moved him onto a softer area to make him comfy and when I think he has fallen asleep he just howls SO SO loud like he is in pain.

It doesnt seem like he has broken any bones, and I have tried "pressing" all over his body and there dont seem to be any super sensitive spots. He has puked just a little bit.

What could be wrong with him? Stoumach ache?

He is a totally healthy cat, this is so random and I feel so bad for him :(

We are going to the vet ASAP in the AM

Hi. I brought a male kitten few months back. He was 5 months old and had just started to sense his surroundings. I often took him outdoors for walk and activity. Yesterday evening when my cat was walking in the grass i saw an eagle gliding above in the sky. It was quite a sight, and i was looking at it in joy. Suddenly that same eagle dived towards the ground, and i though that he is going to crash or is injured. Then within a split second, he picked up my cat and flew into the sky. I was horrified by the sight. My heart almost failed and i screamed. But it was too late and i couldn't do anything. I didn't even get enough time to react. I'm still very worried about my cat. What did the eagle do to my cat? i never imagined this can ever happen. I reported to police about my lost cat, but they said there's nothing they can do in this. I now plan to get a new cat. How to avoid this tragedy from happening again?

I was walking my dog on a trail in Colorado around Boulder and my dog (2 feet in front of me) started sniffing a snake. I called her away and she left and there was no problem. I didn't stick around to study the snake but my best guess by the markings is that it was a rattle snake (I did not see a rattle but I didn't stay to look). If this were the case I would be surprised that a rattle snake would not strike in a situation like this. Does anyone know more about this than me?

My cat is on the prescription Hills K/D cat food and has started not wanting to eat it. Does anyone know of any other cat food that I can feed her? She is on the K/D because of renal kidney disease. Thanks.

I had my kitten wormed on Friday and today I saw white worms crawling out of her anus again. She has also been sneezing and coughing. I'm afraid she's very ill. Please help me.

I'm planning on getting a snake, though preferably one that doesn't require mice/rats. There's the rough/smooth green snake and ringneck snake but I read that those do not like to be handled, making them a "look but don't touch" snake. Are there any snakes on an alternate diet which are a bit friendlier?

I've had swollen lymph nodes in my groin area for over a week now, & in the past few days, they feel like they've gotten bigger & little more swollen. I had made an appt at an ob/gyn clinic for tomorrow (I need to get a routine exam anyway), but should I get checked at a regular Dr's office tomorrow as well? I'm getting a little worried because now I also feel discomfort around my neck, I may have a slight fever, & i seem to have other symptoms of CSD that are listed on online listings. I have indoor cats only & they have had fleas. They have also scratched me in recent months on my legs (it happened when they tred to climb in my lap when I'm wearing shorts). Also, could it be something else? Please help!

We got a small 2 year old Cairn Terrier from the SPCA on Thursday. She has been constipated since we got her. When she does try to go to the bathroom...she yelps and crys and chases her rear end (becuase she wants to lick it I assume). She is eating and drinking plenty. We have tried giving her some wet food to lossen the stool but that hasn't helped. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Thank you very much for your help!
