My cat is long haired. He has these black dots and a few fleas on his back. I put a flea and tick remover spray on him, and the black dots are gone BUT, now there are red spots on his back and it looks like it's hurting him! He also keeps drooling. Please reply only if this has happened to you. I don't want "guesses" I want answers! I'm honestly not trying to be rude, please help!

hi i posted a question about my dog chasing cars ealier today, but i've got another query. Another family member (who the dog likes alot and respects) took him for walk today and apparantly he was nipping whenever he was being held at the collar and restrained [from chasing cars]. I'm concerned about this agression. The dog is the most friendliest dog ever all of the time, apart from when he is being held back from the cars he loves to chase. What can i do? I don't want a nippy dog! This scares me even more than the car chasing, becuase i can deal sort of alright with that, but when i'm holding him by the collar and he's turning round to nip my hand, thats a problem, becuase i've then got two things to worry about. Please Help!!

Chester is 14 years and is in good shape, and still the protects his territory in our yard, but lately have taken up to sitting in the wet grass and the concrete patio table. We have always said that Chester has more common sense that most people, but we are worried that his new habits might be harmful to him

I have one goldfish currently residing in a 10 gallon tank that he is outgrowing rapidly. I cycled this tank without fish and therefore there is no ammonia in it and has never been. I have bought a new 20 high tank for him and was going to fishless cycle that tank as well but was wondering if I needed to. If I keep the same rocks (plus about 10 more pounds of rock) with the same filter, filter media and decorations will this tank need to be cycled for will the tank remain cycled with the filter media and rocks to help it out?

I know I'm one of those people with a "small, cute" breed. And it made me wonder, how many people judge others by their choice in dog breed? Do you have preconceived notions about a stranger walking down the street just by looking at their dog?

(I don't really care if people think I have a "cutesy" breed. Papillons excel at agility, which is one of the reasons I chose my breed. I wouldn't chose a breed such as a bulldog for an agility dog.)

For example:
Do you see someone with a toy poodle as ditsy and cutesy?
Do you see someone with a pitbull as someone tough?
Do you see someone with an afganhound as graceful?
Do you see someone with a mutt as caring and compassionate?

(I'm not saying any of these are true, they just seem to be common stereotypes, so I used them for examples.)

Sometimes the kids leave the door open and out she goes getting all dirty. I've whipped her and even left the door open to test her several days in a row. But none of this has worked. What do you suggest?

My family was thinking about maybe getting another dog. We will get it at the humane society, but the humane society by our house is very large and has a huge amount of dogs, all different breeds,

So I wanted to know what mediumish-sized(20-65 IBS.) are good with kids and cats/other pets. Thanks

Reading the replies from sweet_co + answers4u made me feel ill - if only you'd seen my friend in the A+E, a grown man sobbing his heart out because he couldn't save his baby and trying to deal with the pain of his dreadful injuries. To everyone else - thank you from the bottom of my heart, bless you all. To the 2 idiots who don't believe me, check out www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk. English newspaper The Sun has got the story wrong today on pg 19 but the Daily Mirror are hoping to run it Mon. Milly was a beautiful Staff, almost 5 yrs old, black and white and the apple of her Dad's eye - God he misses her. He can't sleep because he relives that attack and my heart bleeds for him. he was let out of hosp Thurs eve but has to go back - two broken fingers, two fractured, 27 stitches in one wound, the other has to have plastic surgery, lost the use of his writing hand coz the tendons were severed. Thanks again to all those with hearts, i'll keep you updated, bless you x

Just wanted to hear from some of you on how much grooming a Husky would cost?
I have never had to deal with a groomer since I have Dobermans & we don't have that need.
Considering taking in an abandoned Husky . I took her to a groomer today, picking her up in a short while & didn't even ask what the costs would be. Oh well she needs it badly so the $$$ will be well worth it.
What do you think I'll be charged?
Bathed, trim, comb out, ears cleaned & nails trimmed.
Thanks!!!

My dogs got fleas, I treated them with advantage (a groomer recommended this I always used frontline before but she said her costumers were complaining about it), but they still got into the house. I thought if I waited it out they'd go away. A couple of days later I bought the Hartz 3 in 1 spray, & sprayed the couch & curtains (my house is all hardwood flours). Well that didnt work so I bought a bomb (same brand) & after that still saw a few so I sprayed down everything & washed all stuffed animals & bed clothes. I check my dogs & the fleas were back! I retreated them & they still are on them! (Its only been a little over 2 weeks since the 1st treatment & a few days since the 2nd!) I don't care what I have to spend I want to get rid of them! I have a one year old daughter & they are biting her terribly! any recommendations? Keep in mind the baby though, it has to be safe for her.
