I live on a farm out in the country. I have two rat terriors dogs. Yesterday (Oct 13), I was gone to the Twin Cities, and got home at about late afternoon. While I was gone, my dogs had mated, I could tell when I looked at my female dog Jackie. The problem is that Jackie is only 9 months and 5 days old. What should I do? She is a long and skinny dog. No should I be giving her a more protein filled dog food? Also, DON'T TELL ME TO SPAY OR NEUTER MY DOGS! Because I'm not going to! Just give me some advice on my situation. I never intended for this to happen, so don't say I'm a horrible owner.

Elroy was a coonhound/black lab cross who was only five years old. He was with me 24 hours a day for all those years, as I am a trucker and he went to work with me too. I've never been one to have many friends, and as I get older I have lost the ones I did have. Elroy was really my best and only friend.

My boyfriend has a pit bull that is 2 years old. I would like to get a puppy that will stay pretty small as an adult, and am wondering what breeds if any go well with a pit bull? I need something that will have the spunk and energy to play with our dog, but I do not want anything that big. I was thinking a pug or bulldog.

is it true that fresh water fish will lose water(weight) from the excess salt if they go into salt water because they are not used to drinking water and is it true salt water fish will gain water(weight) in fresh water from the excess salt because they are used to drinking water. if true why? (in words a pre teen will understand). if you don't understand the question say so and i'll rephrase it

I just got 6 female mice about a week ago from Petco. I was watching them today and one seems fatter than the others. She is active, goes on the wheel, but her stomach is pretty wide on both of the sides. She also seems to build the nest for the group. I was wondering if this is a possible mouse pregnancy and what to do if it is. Thanks.

I think my cat is pregnant but i am not for sure. She sleeps a lot more! also she kinda goes through moodswings. Like yesterday she was a lot more loving than usual. and today, when i try to pick her up she just runs away. but the last time that i no of her being in heat was 2 months ago. so if she got pregnant then, then she would have already had the kittens or would have looked more pregnant than wat she does now. So my question is, can you always tell when your cat is in heat or do the sometimes kind of hide it more where you cant tell at all???

I have a 2 year old Maltese and i love him to death, but i am concerned because he does go outside unless i go with him and if i go back inside he runs inside with me. I have even tried leaving the door to the backyard open. He just sits or sleeps all day except when we go for a walk which he loves. Please give me some advice.

Thank You.

I have a Yorkie who gets fleas (He's not infested, it's just annoying) and our cat doesn't. Tried everything from Frontline to every over-the-counter product. We don't have carpet so nothing to put there. We bath him regularly, but the fleas just love him. I read this (Diatomaceous Earth) is a good and safe product to put on the animal and it's bedding. Any thoughts on this ???

I know they are very different but I can see myself living with either breed (and several of them at that!). I do have large (and X-large) dog experience as well as small dog experience. The breeds are Shih Tzu and Dogue de Bordeaux. I have had experience with both breeds but I was just wondering what others think about the pros and cons to the breeds. Please don't suggest other breeds because these are the only two I have interest in. (These are the last of quite a few breeds.)

In Texas, is there behavior or conditions when domesticated animals can be treated like vermin... Loose cats are constantly urinating and defecating in the flower beds that i work in. This should be a health hazard and be considered as an act with places my safety at risk. Trapping and impounding isnt changing owner behavior. Looking for a more permanent (and legal) solution. My lawn smells of cat urine, i can't even open my windows or doors due to the smell.

How many pets do you have, and how do you keep your house clean with the usual messes that animals make?

Ok, so I was walking my dog today and he likes to go to the irrigation pond near my house and watch the frogs jump in the water. =) well today when we were there, we saw a yellow bellied slider out basking (about a foot long). I got about 3 feet away from it and just watched it, the poor thing must have had a rough life, it is missing an eye AND has a fish hook embedded into the left side of its head. It is so infected that it looks like the poor thing ate a ping pong ball. I felt so bad for it that I went to go grab it and try to help it, but as soon as I got close enough to grab it, it bolted back into the water and as it tried to submerge, it just floated back up. I feel so bad for it. I don't want to take it out myself, I just want to take it to the vet and have them take it out. And if worse comes to worse, I will keep it with my other turtle. So how can I catch the turtle?

this is an embarrassing situation for me and my family.my wife and i have no children,well not yet,so my wife and i decided to add another member of the family to our household,so we went to the animal shelter to buy a dog.my wife immediatly fell in love with a pit bull beagle mix she saw at the animal shelter.the attendant told us before we bought the dog to keep the dog away from cats,the attendant did not explain why so we just kind of forgot about it.so my wife and i took the dog home and we fell in love with the dog,he is very playful and friendly and loyal.well,one week ago i saw my neighbors cat take a bathroom break in MY yard,i became very angry,i woke my dog up and i told my dog that there was a cat in our yard that is mocking us,i also told the dog that the neighbors cat wants to move here and take his place as the main pet of the household,the started growling i let the dog off his leash,the dog bolted out the front door and attacked my neighbors cat,within minutes the cat

My cat is about 8 years old, he's an inside cat, and only is outside when he escapes every once in awhile... For about 6 months now he crouches down and coughs... kinda like the kind you just can't get out. It doesn't necassarily sound painful, just yucky... What could this be? I know I need to take him to the vet and I will, but I'm just wondering what I should expect.

This is actually my friend's cat that we're babysitting and MY cat doesn't do this. This cat is calico and has long fluffy hair. She doesn't scratch alot and she's not losing any hair. I've checked her for ear mites. I don't know what this is and it's grossing me out!

WHo's the best dog trainer? Victoria Stilwell of" Its Me or the DOG" on Animal Planet or or Caesar Milan? What channel(s) is Milan on? I've only seen one Milan show but watch a lot of "Its Me or the Dog." I think she is great. And she's hot too!
