I understand if she sold the dog to a bad owner or something, but it seems the people she gave it to weren't criminals or anything.

Hi! My cat recently had a flea attack. It appears that he was bitten on his lower back, just above his tail and has itched the area so much that he has lost his fur in that area. His fur feels very stiff as well in the area surrounding the now-bald-spot. We administered the recommended does of flea medication yesterday; Frontline Plus to be exact. I am wondering if simply controlling the flea problem will help our cat as recommended, or if there is a medication I can apply (Vaseline, Neosporin??) that will help meanwhile. Thanks for any insight :)

In my aquarium I had fish to lay eggs; and, I didn't realize that if not fertilized they would grow fungus, which they did. What do I need to do? I have vacuumed the gravel, but yet there seems to be quite a bit of the fungus floating in the water. The water seems to clear up after the filter catches up, but is there a treatment that I need to put in the tank or should I do a complete water change?

I had a stray cat show up on my door last winter. I did everything imaginable to find his owner. Nothing turned up so I've been feeding him, got him neutered, & got him all his shots. I have been trying to find a home for him through local agencies as well as friends, family, etc. Let's face it, no one wants a full grown cat. The biggest problem is I have 3 other male cats of my own. It has turned into a constant spraying war in my house. I also have to run the stray off everytime my cats go outside or there's a fight. I've tried bringing the stray into the house when the others are outside & he just sprays where they have. Everyone is neutered. I'm afraid as winter approaches, & it gets very cold where I live, he'll freeze outside. Though I've set up a little make shift shelter. People are telling me he'll be fine outside. I don't know if he can handle the minus temperatures but I also can't handle a spraying war & my home smelling of cat pee. Any suggestions?

Does this dog exist... smaller size, not real barky, nippy, scared... good with kids and other animals, not a one owner type breed, not over energetic and not hard to housebreak. Hey, I like big dogs ( I have a Great Dane) but my man likes little ones and I'd like to do some research but am looking for people who love their small dogs and why!

I have 5 dogs
2 cats
2 rats
4 hamsters
About 45 mice in a manison doll house looking cage
2 Bunnies
3 Bulls
1 parrot

I have lots of animals most live in the heated and aircondtioned barn, Except for the parrot cats and dogs. I was wanting to get a barn dog to protect my pets from some coyotes that have been lurking around but i already have 5 dogs and was wondering if there is a legal limit on dogs. I mean we have plenty of room for him on our 8 acres. And weve been wanting to get some chickens but are afraid the coyotes will get into the barn at night. We were hoping to get a bernese mountain dog

My tank is infested with white fluff! I get rid of it, and 2 days later its literally everywhere again. What is it and how do I get rid of it for good? There is SO much of it - way too much for some algae (if it IS algae) eating fish to eat!

We live in a rural town and our neighbors, hardly able to care for their own kids, have like 7 cats. These cats are in our trash, in our yard and even have a place worn down under a portion of our chain link where they cross thru. Our penned dogs bark at them all the time, when they are in our yard, and we are just tired of the cats. There is a city ordinance on pets, but doesn't really get enforced unless a stray dog is running loose bothering people. So, with all these cats, and them reproducing, what would you do?

We got a new GSH puppy last Wednesday - from a recommended breeder!

We took her to the vet on Friday night as she was very poorly (thankyou to you all that answered my question then and offered support).

Unfortunately Parvo has been diagnosed today! I really dont know how to feel, I am cross that I actually stuck up for the breeder when people were saying she couldnt be reputable! I am cross we have a sick puppy and I am cross she was sick when we got her.

She is very poorly dog but still alive after 5 days at the vets - so I hope she will be ok and recover?!

Please dont comment negatively - I am not the sort of person to take the decision about dog ownership lightly and I love all my pets dearly.

I want to ask if anybody has any information abour Parvo they can give me and also to let me know where I stand in terms of having a very sick puppy I paid a lot of money for and a huge vets bill, although ultimately I dont care about the money if it means she will be ok.

My six week old kittens are infested! tHey have fleas so bad you can see only fleas and eggs, and worst of all, the kittens have been ok with it! They need help now, and I am not taking them to the vet because they are barn cats. I just want home remidies to get rid of the fleas.

bad rap? They are the most feared dog of all dogs!

Is it because we don't have as many dog lovers as we think we do?

I bought a 6 pack of revolution flea and heartworm, not realizing how fast my puppy would grow. I have the 10 - 20lb pack and she is about 35 lbs. She is due today for her next dose but I won't be getting the next size up for another week or so. Can I give her two doses of the 10-20lb to give her enough to be affective or will that be too much/hurt her? Thanks.

My pekingese had puppies nine weeks ago and she still nurses them every now and again. The puppies eat solid food. Is this a comfort thing for the puppies and mom? Will this effect them when they have to eventually leave the nest?
