My Chi got ahold of a gourd that many people get for fall decorations at the grocery store...the bumpy funny looking ones they sell with the mini pumpkins. It was out of his reach (I thought) but he managed to jump from the back of a couch onto a decorative table then onto the dining room table..go figure. Anyway he gnawed off the top of the gourd. Its hard to tell how much he may or may not have ate. Does anyone know it these have a potential toxin for dogs. He is not showing any signs of stomach problems but it was only a few miniutes ago and I'm keeping a eye on him. Thanks!

I just got this tank from a friend and it has been a success for over 1 year, I think the move mixed up the water and dispersed a lot of nitrates, can anyone please help?

Bear has constantly been getting up and started limping, but after walking on it for a few minutes, he's back to normal. Lately, he won't respond to his name, and is is too much pain to lay down. My dad refuses to take him to the vet cus suposedly "he's just fine". Does he have a serious problem that for sure needs to be taken care of by a professional?

my dogs know the basic tricks sit,stay and shake (paw) but they have bad manners they bark too much, tear apart things. their not vicious dogs they would never harm anyone but its just the general things they need to work on like no tearing things up or not barking in the middle of the night.

...for the first time. We took him to the vet and got all his medicine so hopefully they will be gone soon...my question is does this mean there is a flea infestation in the house? should we spray the house or something? and could I possibly get fleas too?

My stepdad rescued a newborn snapping turtle when landscapers dug up it's nest. I did my research and supplied it with what it needs, a big tank, minnows to eat, warm lightening, lots of plants, rocks, etc,.It's done well for about 1 1/2 months, but recently I've been taking him out of his tank for about 20 minutes and just basically holding him, letting him walk around, etc., and washing any places he touched afterwards, but is that OK to do? The more I do it, the more at ease he is and the less scared he is of getting up and walking around. Is it even possible to "humanize" a snapping turtle?

Ive already given her a medicated bath and also have used neosporin on the bumps but they dont seem to be going away. I also trimmed her nails to keep her from making them worse. The vet said the medicated bath should help but didnt and I cant get ahold of him.

I have noticed that in the last month he has become more agressive towards people we meet along the way. As a result when some one gets close, I am having to pull him in close to me so that he won't go after them. My question is, Is it possible that I may be bringing this on by shorting up his leash, and pulling him closer to me? I have a training collar on him, with the prongs. He weighs about 140 lbs and this is the only way I can control him. My next step is to buy a muzzle for him. I don't want to stop the walks, he loves it and needs the excercise. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i have 3 cats. all seem to have this problem. i noticed a few days ago that wherever my cats sleep, they leave behind black and white specks/flakes. almost like salt and pepper. but there is ALOT of these specks/flakes. i've checked them for fleas (combed them, etc) but have found nothing. and i'd think with the amount of stuff that coming off my cats, i'd see atleast one flea. my cats seem normal and healthy. so, i'm a little confused.

I never noticed the lump until today, so I think it grew over night, I think it's an abcess(or however you spell it) But I'm not sure, I just hope it's not like a cancerous lump =[ someone please help, I can't even afford to get it fixed I'm scared, is there anything I can do to ease her pain and make her more comfortable in the mean time?

I have x1 guard dog in the house and will soon be getting another. I like the idea of having a dog in the house. Now I have alarms etc. but having a dog/s brings a little peace of mind. Do you think its unfair that if my dog attacks a burglar that I could get into trouble. At the end of the day who is to say that they only want to steal something? How do I know what they ( truly ) want to do? Surely it's only fair that If my dog/s attack in the art of protecting me that my dogs and me should not be punished. Do you agree?
