About three days ago, i found a black and white kitten under my neighbor’s car. I have been feeding her for the past three nights. She is extremely friendly, loves my lap, does not hiss, scratch, or bite me.
Well... the problem is that she is covered with flea dirt on her entire body and is constantly itching. I am sure the fleas are eating her up. She smells really bad and her breath is killing. She does not like to be picked up and scared to follow me to my house in the cold nights. However, she loves my company and comes running every time she sees me around that cars.
I just cannot see her in this condition, I want to take her to the hospital but i am not sure how can i do that. I can trap her but I cannot bring her home at night because of my parents. I cannot find her during the day time so I can trap and go straight to the vet.
What should i do? I can't trap her at night till morng.
Should I drop her at the animal shelter or go to the vet and then drop her to the shelter?

I just introduced 2 oto catfish into an established 5.5g tank with only 3 small kuhli loaches in it. I thought that both of these fish are peaceful and would live will together, however the kuhlis seem to be ramming the otos.

he is an altered male, and his parents were ferel, but I raised him sence he was about 4 wks old. He has bonded with me, but is very aloof and even disdainful of others. He dislikes using the litterbox... but will use it if he can't find a way outside. He is aprx 3 yr old and just had a vet check up - eveything is fine.

My dog at times will make a noise like shes hacking up a lung and when she made the noise at the vet she said it was a backwards sneeze. I have never heard of such a thing so im just curious if this a real condition???

I thought it was just me till I heard someone else did it too, and when I asked another cat owner she said 'all the best cat moms do!' LOL

Just wondering HOW common this is? I've got a special blue jar that they go in, though some of the 6" whiskers are almost too long to fit in it.

Do you do anything with them? Is it just something you save?

one a tetra and the other is white with small black dots all over him. I do have a divider at the end of the tank for his betta. The betta has been living in the aquarium for almost a year and has done really well. However I have noticed that the molly (orange) is staying at the very top of the water, she does not swim around like the others. I let them adjust to the water temp when we got them, it has chlorinator and a pump. Am I doing something wrong? We are new to this so I really don't know alot about them (I have been researching though). Can anyone help? Also I have read on here that people have there bettas in the same tank as their other fish - will mine work with these fish?

I want to know how exactly the behaviour of a bunny changes after he is neutered. I have an 8month lop and i got him neutered 2 weeks ago. One thing to keep in mind though is that my vet found that my lop had only one ball!! Anyways, i have a 2 mnth old female rex bunny and he's still showing her the same (i'm presuming is) sexual behaviour. Is this normal or is it too early to introduce them to eachother? How does neutering a bunny affect their behaviour generally?? What changes behaviourally?
Thanks alot you guys!

its only going to be a two to four hour flight so it would not be much stress on my Guinea pig..and she is perfectly clean, vet checked..and the hotel we will stay in allows pets. If they are allowed how much would it cost (if anything) and should she get any shoots..and dont tell me its not worth it cause im crazy about my guinea pig!

She started limping so I took her to the vet. I found out she'd been spayed so I couldn't breed her. Then I called the breeder.

She wasn't very helpful but I finally found that the person had gotten my dog at an animal shelter. She gave me a pedigree and everything. Do you think the animal shelter gave her the pedigree? Do you think she just made it up that it was a Cavachon?

I paid 800 dollars for this dog. Do you think I should return it to the shelter?

My 9yr kitty normally eats with a passion. I haven't seen him eat lately (working), he hardly drinks, rests quite a bit and threw up a small amount of clear foam recently. His eyes look bright and normal, he doesn't seem to have a full bladder (my other boy had FUS), his breathing is normal. I noticed that he has a lot of crumbs (dark colored cat food) around his mouth and that the tip of one of his canines is brown. I'm unsure if it's decay or food stain (had his teeth cleaned last year). There are no bumps and this gums aren't red like they were the last time I brought him in. Could he have an infection? I do plan on taking him to the vet on Tuesday as this is a holiday weekend.

6 months ago, we kept 3 horses at home. My TB hunter gelding, my moms old mare Molly and 1 boarder Sally, a retiree.
4 months ago, I moved my gelding to my trainers barn.
Molly and Sally were constant companions. Out together during the day and in adjoining stalls at night. Each morning they had a routine that my mom used to watch from the kitchen window. Molly would rise, stick her head out the stall door and whinny for breakfast. Then Sally would wake up, stick her head out the stall door and whinny too. This continued until breakfast was served, each day, every day for the past several years.
In Sept. Sallys' owners took her home to the new barn they just built. Molly was inconsolable over the loss of Sally, so we got her a goat for company. (Poor company in Mollys opinion).
3 Days ago Molly died in her sleep of natural causes.
There is the familiar whinny coming from the barn each morning, and I know its not the goat.
I'm freaked out.
How can I help Molly rest in peace?

I have a mini-bow 5 aquarium and it has a double sided light fixture at the top and it doesn't light up the whole aquarium when you put a light in. It goes up to 25 watts. I was wondering if it would be safe to put in a light on each side. It only has one switch though...that is why I'm asking.

My dog had her first litter 4 days ago. There were only 2 pups. Only one survived and seems to be doing well. Should I be worried that she had such a small litter? Mommy seems to be doing fine, I'm just worried since I thought she would have had more. She's a German Shepherd/Chow Mix. The daddy is a Scotty.
