My sister just had her 3 month old female pug spayed. The vet apparently had trouble getting her anesthetized and did the surgery without anesthesia. As far as we know he didn't even use Valium or a local anesthetic either. I want to hear from some one who knows, is that safe for the dog? Obviously I wouldn't want someone doing surgery on me without anesthesia....please let me know!!

Thanks =)

I think shes going to take him to the vet but is afraid they will put him down without even finding out whats wrong.Anyone have any ideas please tell me she is so distraught and crying right now and iam just trying to help her out here.

Example: mine is a stall walker/stall runner followed by a hard to catch horse. If you've been around horses long enough, you have one! Please share.......

I have a 3 year old Rott. I have countless Kongs and she doens't like those unless I fill it with peanut butter (and then she has it clean out in a matter of minutes). She seems to love toys that she can rip to shreds (she can disintigrate a tennis ball in under 5 minutes)...those tug ropes only last a day or so until she has worked on them until they are just shreds of string. What can I do?

Where I could buy a 29g aquarium? I already have a filter, air bubbler, and heater. I just need the glass tank with hood and light. Anyone know a good place to go and how much it should cost?(In united states)

*** And for a 29g, would it be overstocked with 3 australian rainbow fish, 8 corydoras catfish, 8 harliquin rasboras, and 5 black skirt tetras? Add anything? Take away anything?

***And is a 15g overcrowded with 2 golden danios, 2 guppies, 2 mollies, 2 platies, and 2 otocinclus?

THANKS!!!

This mouse is about 3 or 4 months old, and she lives with 3 other females. I know she's not pregnant, but she sure looks like it. She used to be the littlest one, but now she's the chubbiest. She still likes running on the wheel and being active. She eats what all the other mice eat, but they're at a healthy weight, while she's quite fat. What can I do to help her slim down? I want her to be at a healthy weight like her cage mates. Also, how do I know that nothing is seriously wrong with her, like a tumor or something? Thanks for your help!

What do you all feel about people that HAVE to give you THEIR two cents about what you are buying for your pets?? Or are you one of the people that offers advice to people you don't know??
No right or wrong answer at all here!!!

I was at the grocery store getting cans of Friskies or 9-Lives mixed grill or supper supper for my 2 19 year old cats that get some daily with thyroid medication. I know it is crap food, but they eat it and like it and they are old enough to get what they like.
The last three times, there has been SOMEONE that needed to tell me that I can get better food at PetSmart or someplace else. Or that I am SLOWLY killing my cats. Or some other crap.

I have had the SAME thing happen when getting the Beneful crap that comes in the little tupperware container that I get for the 15 year old mix that I have.

Does anyone else hate this?

Personally, I do not feel the need to educate everyone in the store!! Do you??

(NO RIGHT OR WRONG HERE)

I just bought two ferrets yesterday from some people. They said they fed them cat food along with vitamin supplements, but I've read from multiple sources that ferrets should NOT be fed cat food because they have different digestive systems. I bought them ferret food, but they won't even eat it. What's the best way to wean them off cat food? Is it okay for them to eat cat food? Any help ASAP would help.

My friend wants a very large dog that does not drool a lot, and has a natural instinct for protection, as her husband is in Iraq for 15 months every other year, and she gets scared at night. She will never have kids, she is a loner, she has no other pets..her mastiff died 7 months ago, she is a runner, hiker, has horses. Also, some type of animal in the wild has been circling her stables at night. We think a coyote is their a dog that could successfully defeat a coyote with minimal injuries or just scare it off due to it's size?

When your dog is old and doesn't have a long time to live, should they be exempt from having Rabies shot?

My silver mollie appears to be VERY pregnant. For the past day and a half (at least) she's been hanging out on the bottom of the tank in a corner. Her belly is actually resting on the gravel. She wiggles a bit, like she's scratching her stomach, and waves her front fins. A couple of times I've noticed that her tail seems to curve a little to the side. Once in a while she swims around the tank or up to the top, then back down to her corner.

I have a well-established community tank and all other fish appear to be healthy. Is she just in labor (how long is labor for mollies?) or do I need to medicate her? If she's sick, what is it? Thanks!
