I have a pet monkey Alex. He's about 4-5 months old and he hates when we give him a bath. We started using dry shampoo that all we have to do is wipe it off instead of rinsing him with water and he hates that too. Help?

well i have a FAT cat heres a picture lol

I had her since i was in 2nd grade and im now in 10th grade so she is around 8 years old. She is in perfect health besides being fat. My friend had a dream that she died and last night i had a dream that she died. Now i am worried why would we both have the same dreams. Is it a sign or nothing to worry about. We have tried putting her on a diet but we have 2 other healthy cats and they eat her food. so i always put just 3 bowls out. But i try to make hers the smaller proportion. Also she doesnt like going outside for exersize cause she was declawd a few years ago.

My rabbit is two and a half. It started on Halloween, he wasn't himself. Lying around, not active. So we brought him to the vet. They gave him an antibiotic shot but couldn't do anything else.
Ever since then he's been getting worse. He has Diarrhea, is barely eating and just lies around all day. We have to clean him daily. We left him in the vet for a day and they were injecting him in the mouth with some fluid. We do that a few times a day now. But he's barely changed at all. Maybe improved slightly.
The vet say that he has a stomach bug and there's nothing more they can do for him.
He lives out the back in two large dog crates altered into one rabbit hutch with his wife.
Does anyone have any advice on what we can do? Even to get him to eat?

I have a 5 month old rat terrier/papillion puppy. Last night he was playing with another puppy and lept off the couch chasing her. next thing I know, he's squeeling at the top his little lungs and won't touch his hind left leg to the ground. every time he tries to put weight on it, it hurts him. I called the vet, and she said it could either be a sprain or a fracture and that it would take about 4-6 weeks to heal. I don't know if I should take him in or not? And what I could do to help him with the pain? It just breaks my heart to see him hurt! It hasn't even been 24 hours yet, I'm just freaking out a little bit.... any helpful ideas would be much appreciated! Thank you!

We have a puppy, about 8 mos and 80 lbs. He is very smart and very out going and we spend a lot of time with him. He has been to obeidence classes and is pretty good with most things, except chewing. Inside he is fine, and outside a lot of times he is fine too, but...this month he has chewed up the following: 1 ethernet cable outside, 1 "Cable" cable outside right up to the box, the BURIED sprinkler wires he has dug up and chewed thru in 1 spot, ATE a bycycle helmet from the garage, the back door mat, the insulation around the air conditioner cold air return, and he has begun to dig...DEEP not just for usual fun. He is on a wireless fence so we have basically taken him OFF of a long line and moved him to that. He is confined to the back and side yards as we found he dug a lot in the front planters. This behavior has been happening a lot more in just the past month. He has LOTS to chew on outside that are NOT cables and OTHER things. And inside he is NOT bad. HELP?

I have a 6 month old kitten who, in the course of her life, has chewed up a turquoise necklace (the stones chewed off of the thread), chewed books, chewed papers, etc. Lately she has been jumping up the walls to try to tear a map off of the wall; I taped tinfoil to the corners of the map to discourage her, so this morning instead she sat by my bookcase and chewed on the corner of a book.
I can't spray bitter apple on most of the things that she chews, and I'd rather not coat my entire bedroom in tinfoil. Any suggestions? This has been occuring, off and on, since I got her 3 months ago.

We have a 1 and a half year old German Shepherd that LOVES to put his head out the window while we are driving. But once in a while he gets ear aches and will put his ear down and shake his head a lot. Is there anything that we can do to help his ear feel better, and what can we put on his head so that this doesn't happen again but he can still enjoy putting his head out the window?

I just got him and he really connected to my mom's dogs, but now when I go to bed I can't even take him with me because he howls and whines for me to let him out of my room. I can't let him sleep with my mom's dogs b/c even though they get a long, they won't let him sleep with them. Is there anything I can do to get him to stop fighting me and just go to bed in peace?

I am trying to train my dog to go right on cue. We are out walking on a trail with 90 degree right turns. I have one leash on his harness to teach him to pull and one leash on his collar that's slack unless he does it wrong. I am using a clicker. Whenever we near a turn, I give him the command "Gee" and instead of turning, he turns his head and looks back at me, expecting a treat. What am I doing wrong?

Had her 8 days now. First she wouldn't eat at all then I got her to eat dried food. Now she won't anything else, what do I do dried food is not a complete diet. Getting her to eat at all was like spoonfeeding a baby she seems too dependant on me. She is one year old got her from someone in a flat who can no longer keep her. Also she keeps trying to come into my bedroom at with me. Is when she rolls on her back a good sign as well
