I am pretty sure you call a bunch of them fish but some say "fishes". (1 fish, 2 fishes') or (1 fish, 2 fish)?Not a big deal but I want to know how you say it properly.Thanx.

I hope everyone has been avoiding Hartz products, some of what they sell for pets can be very dangerous.

Anyway if you use this vitamin product please be aware there is a recall on this. More details below

Hartz announced a recall on November 2 for a specific lot of Hartz
Vitamin Care for cats because of salmonella concerns. Here is the release
from their website:

The Hartz Mountain Corporation is voluntarily recalling one specific
lot of Hartz Vitamin Care for Cats due to concerns that one or more
bottles within the lot may have been potentially contaminated with
Salmonella. Hartz is fully cooperating with the US Food and Drug Administration
in this voluntary recall.

The product involved is 3600 bottles of Hartz Vitamin Care for Cats,
lot code SZ-16371, UPC number 32700-97701, which was manufactured by a
third party manufacturer, UFAC (USA), Inc., in Baconton, Georgia.

They spawned, its been 4-5 days no fry. Eggs just relocated by female today and hidden under driftwood cave she made. Male stays in one location and is constantly being chased by female. Should I remove him? They are in a 30 gallon tank.

I had a five gallon tank that had 3 guppies, 2 neon tetras 1 serpae tetra & a swordtail male along with a cat fish. I felt it was crowded but i kept my tank up well and never had stressful water.
Now that i have the 12 gallon, i have read that i can have 8 -16 fish depending on what a choose. I would like to add one more guppy so 4 guppies total. I would also like to have two groups of 4 tetras so i will have 4 neons and 4 of another tetra of simlar size to go along with the current fish that I have ( the swordtail & serpae & catfish.) So15 fish total would be in the 12 gallon. What do you think too many fish or okay?

My dog was attacked by a pit bull. IT would not let go of him for nothing(keep in mind this is a little dog). For ten minutes this pit had a hold of my dogs neck, and swinging him around like a rag doll..we knew he was dead. My husband hit the pit over the head five times with a sledge hammer, and it did not budge, then finally threw water on them, and it let go, they left to haul the pit off. I looked outside to see if I could find my dog, he was laying there, and surprisingly he was breathing, but not moving. My husband got home about 15 mins later, and said if he's alive it wont be long til he dies. By this time my dog was up moving around, but the blood was pouring from his neck. We got him immediate help once we realized he was up and getting around quite well. We got him on antibiotics, and pain medicine, put peroxide on his wounds several times daily. This was over a month ago, and my dog is now alive and kick'n it well!!!! We now call him our miracle dog!!!

I have a 17yr old TB mare that is really bossy and demanding when it comes to food. She is absolutely fine in the paddock, walking her, fine to catch etc. but she just gets so worked up when she thinks you have food. For example, the other day I went to see her (she doesnt live at our place-but i see her approx. 4 days a week) and i stood out in the paddock and waited for her to come to me (usually she comes as soon as she sees you, but she was just being all stubborn) and i waited for a while, then i walked back towards the gate to wait for her there, but she must of thought I was leaving her without feeding her. She reared up and galloped into the paddock I was in (there's 2 paddocks, but she can access both) and when I got on the other side of the gate, coz I didnt want to get kicked or anything (u never know, she could do something like that, though she hasnt done it before), and she stopped at the gat and then started pawing the ground and making these weird hyped up whinny sounds

Last year, i brought 3 pups -- newfoundland, saint bernard and english mastiff. All 3 of them have now grown into giant dogs and i am badly overwhelmed taking care and controling them. I have too much work and school stress already.

My girlfriend also doesn't seem to care for them properly, because she fears their size and feels they may attack her

When i take all 3 for walk, i have very hard time controlling their leashes. All 3 of them pull me together, and i'm myself dragged instead of controlling them. I feel several hundreds of pounds of pressure pulling me at once. I have back pain, because of all the strength i use to barely control their leashes.
I can't take them 1 by 1 for walk, because i don't have much time so i take all 3 together.

They are becoming destructive and noisy too. In the night they bark a lot, and disrupt my sleep. Their costs are goin higher to

I was not aware that they will grow so incredibly large, when i brought them as pups.

How to handle them?

I currently use BlueBluff dog food. The website www.dogfoodanalysis.com is great. Please only respond about these brands. Or, if you know of another brand of greater or equal value, please say so.

Does anyone simply cook their dog's food from scratch? Pros and cons with this approach?

He is a 2 yr old boxer. he broke the front door and darted out into traffic. We took him to the vet a block away and they took x rays. he has bruised lungs and ribs. He has pulminary contusions??? Hes alert and eating, even barked when a neighbor came to check on him, my only concern is his breathing. His breathes are shallow and very short. he really seems to be struggling with every breathe. The vet said just keep an eye on him the next 24 hrs are critical but he may be just sore. Has anyone experience the same situation?

My 14 yrs old daughter has a 10 gallon fish tank. We had 2 black moor and one fancy tail gold fish. We help her keep it clean and she had these three fish for a year and 3 months. I recently brought a Hypostomus plecostomus to help keep the tank clean because she love to keep the light on to watch the fish and it get tons of algae. Well a week after I introduce the sucker fish all three fish died. Their fin started to shred and they grew white fungus all over their bodies. They also had red spots on their bellies. I think they got fin rot. I want to what went wrong. I am sad to think I killed her fish!! I tried Melafix but it didn't work. The sucker fish was fine. Can you please tell me how to keep this from happening again? I have picture if you need to see what they looked like. Thanks Mother of a heart broken daughter.

I have a 5 yr old German Shepherd with a very sensitive stomach. She's had diarrhea on and off since I got her 3 months ago. I read a natural foods magazine about raw diets and it sounded great, so I started by giving her one pound of a high quality raw ground beef, and she had horrible diarrhea for days. That scared me from going raw and now I don't know what to do (keep her on dry food or ?) If you feed your dog raw, has it actually lengthened their life span?

Hello. My black cat Zooey is 6 years old. two months ago I took him to the vet because he kept running to the litterbox to urinate way more than normal. Vet told me he had a bladder infection and crystals in the bladder. Zooey was on antibiotics and he's on special food(Royal Canin,prescription food). Well about 3 weeks ago he started puking. He'll be fine for 2 or 3 days and then early in the morning or late at night he'll vomit everywhere. Zooey's not constantly puking, just every couple days. Sometimes he throws up hair, sometimes he throws up food. If this keeps up I'll call the vet soon, but I thought I could use some feedback from other cat owners. I'm worried It could be something serious. Cats are so hard to understand.
