I put Hartz UltraGuard plus on both my dogs and cats a couple weeks ago, and it's done NOTHING to help with their fleas. What products do you use that will do a better job?

He is a 14 year old Beagle/Collie cross. We are trying to treat him with oral tablets for a stomach bug. No matter what I mix his tablets with, my dog can always detect the flavour and will not eat it! I have tried every strong flavoured food I can think of with no result. I have also tried hand feeding him with only limited success. Unfortunately he has never "wolfed" his food so it seems impossible to hide it away without him noticing. Only idea I have left is trying to find a way to hold his nose as I know this works for humans. Has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution?

my 4 dogs normally get a run every day at my local riding stables after all the horses have gone back on the polo field for approx an hour. if i don't go down to see the horses i take them for a 30-45 minute walk but today it's been raining all day so they haven't had the chance to go outside unless for a toilet break. they have been playing with toys, each other and got some special treats. i played ball with them as good as i could in the flat but i don't know if that's enough. what do you think? what do you do with your dogs on a rainy day?

love cats. All kinds of cats. I know cats. I want to help you live in harmony with the cats around you. If you love cats, love their colors, eyes, whiskers and fur; if you love their purrs, chirps and meows; then you love cats, too!

My lhasa (vets says 6 yrs old; rescued him 4 yrs ago) had bloodwork & showed slightly elevated WBC. All else ok per vet. Hes usually active & playful, but sometimes suspect he doesn't feel well. Have blamed that on allergies; sneezes a lot & nose runs of clear water. Old allergy test showed some + to grasses. Never cough or fever. On 5mg zyrtec qd for allergy relief. Has VERY bulgey eyes that run constantly; perhaps contributing to nose drip.
Has occassional limp up front. Vet says prob arthritis given poor conformation. He's on cosequin & Carprofen 12.5 mg qd. Vet does anal glands every 6 wks. He's well groomed & clean. Skin and coat healthy but skin often pink in color.

Ears healthy. Potty normal (some mucousy stools). Food & water intake normal. Teeth & gums healthy. Neg for hot spots & dry eye. Excercise daily. Canidae food.

1. Should I be concerned about the WBC & what should I do? Vet says to watch him closely!
2. Should I have front legs imaged?

$ no issue

She said if he is still limping after a few more days she is going to bring him in to the vets to get checked, he is a big dog, a malamute/wolf mix and is indoor/outdoor.

I just got a chihuahua puppy three days ago. I noticed her panting early and asked the vet today, he said as long as she's eating good and her temperatures okay, then she's fine. I have checked her for worms also.

My puppy is 16 weeks old and she sleeps A LOT. She'll sleep perfectly fine, then sometimes start to breath faster and louder, then she'll start to pant. She doesn't seem in pain at all, but I wake her anyway, she looks normal, but still pants for a while. I get scared so I give her water everytime after I wake her up and she usually drinks.

She's eating perfectly fine but she has diarreah right now, but that's because I didn't have enough of her old food to wean her properly. I'm feeding her chicken soup for puppys kibbles, but today I tried giving her some rice and chicken mixed with the kibbles. Let me know if there's any other way I can settle her stomach.

She lives alone and has been with us for about 2 yrs. or so. She has been fed a new type of food, but we don't actually get around to feeding her everyday. It took a good amount of time for her to get fat if it is the food. She is lethargic and can barely walk now. We feed her a stick treat sometimes, but she doesn't always finish it. What's the deal!?

He originally used to go outside but i moved into a flat 2 years ago so he uses the tray. Thing is he tries to cover up his "crap" but completely misses the litter - instead catching the edge of the tray. I got a bigger tray but it makes no difference. Its like once hes done his thing he wont stand in the litter. In the end my other cat covers it up when she needs the tray. I dont know what else to do - this has been going on for nearly 2 years. It was funny at first but its beyond a joke as everytime he catches the edge of the tray its really noisy so if in bed it wakes me up.

Eggs where relocated by female. Male keeps getting chased and picked on by female. Im afraid he might not make it if this keeps going on. He looks and acts scared. Male will not defend himself. Stays in one corner of tank. She still comes out of cave to chase him around. Added 2 small guppies to try to distract female, not much help. He will not chase guppies either, just stays in corner. Help.

Some information on my lovely doggie...

breed-German shepherd/austrailian healer
age-3 years old
gender-male
fur type-short hair
tail lengs-stubb
other-When he was 1 he was hit by a car and had to have surgerie on his back leg. He has fully recovered now but for the most part, he still doesn't walk on that leg. He is able to run at a incredible 40mph though. I hope his leg won't effect his training...?

I really want to train him, but I don't know what sport he would do best in. Please tell me or let me know how I can find out.

Today at the tropical fish store,I saw an Oscar (8 inches) confined to a tank about 10 gallons.I have a much smaller one at home (4 inches) and he's in a 35 gallon tank by himself.Are these fish just as happy and content in a small environment?
