We had 2 dogs and 2 cats who have the most loving home and got on very well but suddenly one of my cats had to be put down and then a week after one of my dogs had to be put down. As you can imagine we were all upset but my other dog has taken it very badly, he was always a bouncy, happy fun dog but now all he does is sleep and when i take him for a walk he just stays behind me when before he was exploring everything! He has also started to poo in the room he sleeps in and this is not like him at all, he was always shy about this if we were in the garden he would hide in the bush to do this!! I understand he is grieving but how can i help him? how long will he be like this? And how can i get his toilet habits back to normal?! Thank you in advance

my husband, who was very close to our puppy, recently died in a car accident. myself i'm a mess but so is my puppy. he's losing weight, the vet said there is no miracle cure and said it will take time. i just don't know what to do, i have no joy left in me and just can't cheer up our puppy. he doesn't want to eat or play, has become very protective of me and cries when i leave him so i've been taking him with me everywhere i go.
the vet was of no help and made me feel stupid for taking him to the vet for this. i just don't know what to do. i say puppy but he's almost 4 yrs old and weighs about 150lb, he's a great pyr.
this is a very hard time for me so if you don't have a constructive response please do not respond at all...please!
however if you have anything that could help please, PLEASE tell us what we can try.

I noticed the other day that my 11 year-old neutered male cat's belly (lower abdomen) was almost completely bald. I know over-grooming is one the most common causes but he is a bit overweight so grooming that area is difficult for him. This skin is healthy and pink with no sores and he doesn't get upset or flinch when I touch him there. He has no other areas of hair loss and the rest of his coat looks healthy. Also, I treat all my cats with Advantage for fleas. Any ideas?

I'm not sure if it depends on the type of goldfishes, but the ones I'm trying to find out are the common goldfishes. I'm pretty sure it is the common goldfish.

My dog is over a year old now, and she still will not stop chewing... but she ONLY chews on WOOD! My baseboards, the latticing on my stairs, my deck - if it's wood, she's trying to eat it.

1) Why wood? And how do I get her to stop? (I tried that Bitter End stuff from Petsmart - doesn't work with her)

2) Isn't she a little old to still be in the puppy chewing phase? If not, when will she stop?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I want to get a dog preferably a 1-2 year old dog one thats young but not a complete puppy. The problem is most shelters reject me because I'm 20 years old and live in an apartment. I go to school and live in an average sized apartment 1100sq feet, I also live a few blocks from a park and go for daily runs in the morning (in which the new dog would come with) I thought this would be a good time to get a dog b/c my parents still cover most of my expenses so there won't be a problem there and with college classes I would be gone a max of 3 hours instead of leaving for a 9-5 job everyday, not to mention my roommate will be in and out as well. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions, most breeders just have puppies which im not really looking for and most shelters don't think i'm fit for a dog. I would like to help out the shelters but it's getting to the point where I might end up getting a puppy any suggestions?

I work at a pet shop and my boss gives the puppies etiher tetracycline or clavamox when they get sick. I recently noticed one of the puppies looks like it has a leg deformation. The legs arent broken but they are almost bent inwards. Can this be from the antibiotics that were given to them?

I like to name my birds odd names, not like "Paulie" or anything. I was thinking either Phineaus (Fin-ee-us) or Sebastian (Suh-bass-chun). Which one do you like? Any suggestions?
