my cat just had a kitten last friday. We keep the house clean, and give them frontline and all that, but yesterday i noticed a flea on the new born. i know it's way to early to give her frontline. but we want to get rid of the problem..now. i feel so bad, since she cant scratch herself :[
i've been brushing her with a flea brush trying too possibly get the fleas off. but is there anything else i can do?
I've only seen one flea, so she's not infested.

We have a new baby (6 months old) in the house and all of a sudden our cat started peeing on the mattress. Not often I would say about once every month or 2...we have flipped the mattress cleaned it with spray/cat odor everything. We have always payed attention to the cat and that has not changed since the new baby. No medical problems either...we close the baby room when he is sleeping and the cat when he hears him crying comes and gets me and he is very protective so I dont think he is jealous...litter box is clean as well. Any ideas what the problem could be??? Also what really helps get rid of the cat pee smell???

I have 3 baby guppies, and today I noticed that the biggest one had 2 black dots on his/her body. Last time this happened to my guppy fry, they died within 3 days.

I'm just wondering if this is some kind of disease, or are they just getting their colouring? I'm really worried, because I don't want any more guppy fry to die.

They're in a 20 gallon tank, (in a breeding trap, they've been in there for almost 4 weeks now.) and I have a bit of aquarium salt in my water, as well as the necessary water conditioners. I'm not sure about my water conditions, but I'm pretty sure they're better now. (I had bad water conditions a couple days ago, but since I added more water, they're much better) I hope this is enough info, and I really want to know whats up!

P.S. I THINK I might have a disease in my main tank, (20 gallon) but I can't tell what it is. I know it's not Ich- I checked my fish. But I'm worried that two new mollies I got might have brought in a disease. Sry for all questions!

Probably a ridiculously dumb question, but my mother had my male dog neutered while I was way in college and I was wondering if there was anyway that could be reversed? He means the world to me and I want to carry on his blood line.

My cat used to be a happy cat, she liked running around the house and stay pretty active. Recently, about two weeks ago (after we left her home alone for a weekend trip), she started getting very clingy and always want to be around my bf and me. She won't get out of our laps, and she even sleeps on our bed, when she usually doesn't. She used to always sleep on her bed. She won't be away from us, always has to be really near, and she cries quite a lot lately.

She had problems with her previous food, she puked when she woke up in the morning. Now we've changed her food, and she seems to be doing better and not puking anymore. Not that it's any relevant information, but thought I'd add it in case there is any relation.


So what do you think is wrong with her, emotional depression, or anything else? Any advice will be appreciated, thank you very much.

This is my sister's dog. He lives at her boyfriend's house (she lives there, too) and yesterday they went into the backyard and saw his eyes like this. Do you know what could've happened? Something he ate, a bug bite? His eyes are pretty much closed shut, but he can still see a little bit. He has red bumps on his body, and there were flies all over him like he was...dying. They have another dog and nothing happened to her. She was fine. Any opinion helps us get closer to what happened to him. And yes, they did take him to the vet, but I forgot what they told me.

I have a pet chicken who was with 3 other chickens and one duck. They were all hanging out with eachother all the time. One night a coyota came and killed all of them except for one. These were all pets and not for eating. I was really upset when the coyote came and ate them. What is wierd is that they did not even touch the one chicken that survived. But now she is living in a coop that is totally preditor proof that is sharing a yard with a dog. She seems emotionally deressed. She does not come out of the coop and does nothing but sit on top of her water bottle. She is a lot more skittish and does not seem to be eating. i really do not want to lose her. I am going to build her a better coop (coyote Proof of course) and i am still trying to find her some new chicken freinds. But my question is, is that can chickens get emotionally depressed? By the way i do not know if this can help but she is a silky bantom. That is her breed.

She is sneezing and coughing and her eyes get all boogery and her nose runs a lot. We dont have the money to take her to the vet today but we will get her in asap . She is only 9 weeks old. She is a tabby/maine coon mix. She also has trouble breathing like I can hear the snot in her nose. I try to wipe her eyes and nose when I see that they get all cloged up. Please help.

Yeah, my guinea pig has some kind of lice or mite or something.. I know because when she started having seizures, I checked her and found her crawling with white things.. But I can't take her to the vet, because my parents are both basically insensitive and unempathetic, and won't take her.. I can't imagine my guinea pig dying from a parasite such as lice!

Is there some kind of non-expensive thing that I could do to get rid of the lice, that's effective, without going to the vet?

Also - she doesn't seem to be not eating like this website said would happen.. And she doesn't have open sores or hair loss, in fact, a LOT of hair.. But I know there's some kind of whitish stuff on her face. By the way, she's been having fits or seizure-like things for like 2 years..

They're grey and white kittens, they're brothers and really hate to be apart from each other. One's got more white than the other and is more passive, and the others got more grey than the other and he's more agressive. They're both pretty rowdy. Help us name them, my parents keep thinking up lame names like... bubble & squeak... and kitt & kaboodle... >__<;;

So I just adopted an all black male cat. He's still in the kitten phase so very energetic. He needs a good name though. I want something original, nothing like blackie, blackjack, coal, etc. I also have a second cat named Chicken Wing (long story lol) so either something to go along the lines of chicken's name or something to do with the black, but original :) Thanks guys!
