I recently bought 4 male fancy guppies. I placed them in their own tank that was cycled and densely planted. Their fins were perfect and there was no damage, but after a week or so, their tails became slightly torn. I wanted to know the reason for this and if they will grow back to the way they were. Please help me!

We're allowed to have things like fish and snails, but not rats. My roomie and I really want one, but how could we conceal one!?

I baught a guppy that was pregnant and I put her in the birthing device. I feel bad that she does not have much room. So how long are they pregnant and what signs are there that she is going to give birth? Also what size do they need to be to be out back in the tank with other fish?

Recently got a Silver lyretail molly, at the moment the only fish in the tank. I think its a female since it has that fan shaped anal fin. I was thinking of getting her a male to play with.. to be exact, I was thinking of a sailfin (black or silver) Now my question is.. with sailfin mollies how would i go about picking a male? And which do you suggest I get Black or Silver?? (or should i get the orange??)

T.Y in advance for answers

When my cat uses his litterbox to urinate, the smell is strong and the whole apt smells like cat urine. He's never been fixed. He has an "enclosed" litterbox with filters, but that smell still goes thru the apt. Its a sickening smell and its embarrassing. I change his box daily also. I use Fresh Step litter. Its that when he pees, its a strong smell, and he doesn't always "cover" his pee with the litter. He just goes in his litterbox, pees and leaves. Can anyone tell me what can I do to keep my house from smelling like that please?

I spend about $10 on cat litter and about $35.00 on cat food. Mine also gets a few toys for under $10.00 a month. What products do you swear by and what have you used that was a waste of money?

Our 1.5 year old cat has recently started to jump up and try to hang on our fabric blinds.

He only seems to do it when we are around (as far as we know) - he probably knows it bothers us and he likes the attention. We spray him with water whenever he does it and then put him in a bathroom for a while as punishment.

He has a scratching post, and I don't think it is about his claws. He probably likes the attention and / or it is fun for him to hang by his claws from the shades...

Any ideas on how we can change this behavior?

I can get this medicine for my dog about $25 cheaper than from the vet but I've never done business with them. The medicine cost $90 at the vet and 1-800-PetMeds says they have it for $65 and shipping is free. Has anyone bought stuff from them and were you happy with the transaction?

my dog has allergies to the point that he chews all four paws and limps around constantly. I have yet to find a vet that can help. He has had blood work done, he has taken the injections, prednizone, and that costly new drug called atopica. Absolutely nothing is helping. He has the yeast infection in three of his paws right now. Is there anyone out there that may know some way to help him. And whoever "D" is.....please don't answer my question with one of your obnoxious remarks.

What do you think? Every once in a while she will pee somewhere and repeatedy hit that spot until we do something about it. We can't really afford to take her to a vet to see if she has an infection. We recently stopped letting her go outside due to aggressive neighborhood cats causing her injuries and us vet bills. Are there any other signs of an infection? Would she be peeing in different places or just one spot?

Our cat is already overweight, so we feed him about an eighth of a can twice a day. According to the can instructions, we should be feeding him two full cans daily (11 oz) based on his weight (13 lbs). That's ridiculous and I'm wondering how they get away with it.

I have been trying for months now with no real cure. I have tried pills from the vet, K9 advantix, Frontline, I'm not sure what to do for her. I have spent so much money and she is still miserable. It seems to get better for a couple of days with the K9, but no difference at all with the Frontline. I don't know what to do and after charging me $200 the vet didn't help much either. Any suggestions? I don't know if the spot treatments just don't work as well on dogs with hair instead of fur or what. I just want to find some way to help my poor dog.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

They are always saying you should spay or neuter your dog, without even seeing your dog. So I think everyone sould do the human gene pool a favor and neuter these nuts!

I searched the web and there are countless ways to cycle a fish tank.

Should I cycle my tank with fish or without fish?

I found my dog chewing on an EastPower heavy duty AA battery. She got most of the covering off (which is black and green) AND bit through the battery. Some (not too much though) black stuff leaked out. I'm not sure if she licked some of it or not. I looked on the battery to see any warning and there wasn't anything. I'm really worried that it could be lethal for her. It's 9:37pm at night and obviously there aren't any animal hospitals open. Does anyone know ANYTHING about those batteries.

If anyone has any helpful answers I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you soo much!

The fish is over 6 inches and is otherwise healthy is actions and appearance. I don't have any explanation why.
