We treated the dogs.

I tell him just to feed her a smaller meal, healthy treats, instead of the non healthy ones he gets. AND mainly that he shouldn't give her the left overs of his dinner. He gives her fat from the meat and if he has left over food he will give it to her. Basically she has two meals.

Last night he was feeding her the fat off his meat and I couldn't watch it was making me sick thinking that she is so fat and he's adding to it.

Should I keep saying things to him (Not nagging) but just reminding him that he is reducing her life by feeding her excessively?? Or just think "it's not my dog, why bother"

Do you have any good points I can put across to him!?

I am getting a lizard and we are thinking about a water dragon or a basilisk or another medium sized lizard. What are the caging requirements and care sheets would be appreciated. WHAT ARE SOME OTHER LIZARDS YOU WOULD RECOMMEND?

Last week during a routine exam, my dog tested postive for ehrlichia canis. The doctor says he's in the subclinical phase and prescribed 150 mg daily dosage of doxycycline and another screening in a month. I was really surprised since I use Advantix religiously and he hasn't been acting like he was ill. I've done some reading online but I'm not sure what to expect in the future. The vet didn't seem too alarmed but kinda had a "wait and see" attitude. Does he have a good chance of getting rid of this or is he prone to declining health or worsening condition in the future?

When will the symptoms go away. He has the painful sores in and around his mouth, and he can't eat. He has a feeding tube now, but I'm wondering if he will ever really get over it? I can't stand the thought of putting him to sleep, but it also breaks my heart to see him suffer. He had his shots for it, but that didn't seem to protect him. He has been sick for almost two weeks now-doesn't come out from under the bed unless I drag him out to feed him, or he needs to use the little box. He looks miserable with mucus coming out of every hole in his face. PLEASE HELP!

I have had 3 cockers before, all male. Their names: Sir Bob Geldor (I called him Geldof), Doctor-Livingston-I-Presume, (called Doc), and Who's Roger Daltry, (called Daltry). I've never named a female and don't have to have 3 names, so have at it all you imaginative peoples! TY

I have a six month old pug Mable who just got spayed yesterday, I'm kind of having a problem with her incision, which I took her back to the vet and he assured me was normal. The problem I had was she was having blood seepage from the incision, the vet told me that because she's very active (extremely hyper) that seepage is bound to happen. They told me to not let her play for 14 days, so I have her in the laundry room, I can't put her in the crate because she will really harm herself, she spazzes in crates. However, when she wants out or gets excited in there she stand on the door and whine, I yell at her and tell her to stop but she still continues to do it, I checked her out a few minutes ago and there was more seepage. I was wondering if there is any kind of sedative I could give her, because its going to be impossible to keep her like this for 14 days, she's so extremely hyper, I just don't know what to do, if anyone could help that would be great.

My 17lb Minature Schnauzer ate about 10 Welsh Cookies last night. We didn't find the empty bag until a few hours ago. Since Welsh Cookies have currants, and currants are supposed to be bad for dogs (kidney failure), I was wondering if I should be worried. It was most likely less than 1 cup of currants in the whole dozen and he only ate 10 cookies. He seems fine and isn't urinating any more or less than usual. a

Am I getting worried about nothing?

Would someone please explain why the "adoption fee" for Yorkshire terriers are so high?

There are some local rescues who have fees that are 175 to 700 dollars!

I support and am willing to pay a reasonable adoption fee but 700$? I could buy a purebred whatever puppy for that I'm sure. Heck in this market you could buy a decent HORSE for that much.

I'd love to adopt a yorkie or other small dog one day, but it may end up being cheaper to go to a breeder. Yikes. I never though t I would say or think that.

My family cocker spaniel was put down today. He was 15 and basically had a poor quality of life for about the last year or two. The decison was hard, and although I think it was best, I am struggling with making that decision. Any shared experiences or advice would be helpful

So here's the history of my cat: She's always been an outside cat....she's getting older and more weak, so we make sure she gets atleast 2 meals a day of wet food.

Well lately, she has been screaming to get inside the house, and when she does get in, she wants right back outside....AND she won't stop eating, literally we can feed her 3 meals a day of wet food, plus she just ate half a can of canned chicken and she's STILL begging for more food! She won't stop harassing us, all day long!

What could be wrong with her?
