Hi,
I have a Stafffy cross dog and when i took her to vets to be chipped the vet told me she could be spayed from 6 months, which i was keen to do, so we are not even taking ANY chances, but when i called the vets to book her in, the receptionist told me i had to wait til she had her first season and then 3 months after. I explained what the vet told me and she was adamant it was wrong. I was gobsmacked as i thought the vet would know better that her as he would be more qualified.
I do not want to take her to another vet as we have been with this vet for ages and i would prefer her to be with a vet i know and trust.
Does anyone know what the best time or earliest time to have dog spayed?
Thanks

Okay, I have a ball python, and she's just not eating. I got her at the end of August and it's November now & she's only eaten once!!!!! And I had to hold her on my lap. Now, she just doesn't seem interested. I'm so confused & have no idea what to do. I don't want to go to the vet's quite yet, but she's so skinny that her skin is hanging. I'm scared she's gonna die. Please help me here!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

I am mom to an elderly DSH tabby cat. She is very affectionate. I give her both canned food and prescription dry. I have had to change the type of canned food I give her several times in what seems to be a whacky cycle. She'll love a food I give her and then a few months later, decide, nah, I don't like it anymore. So I'll give her something else, and she'll go bonkers eating it, but a few months later lose her taste for it. So I'll switch to another brand.

Is it unheard of for cats to do this--decide they don't like the brand you've been giving them for several months and want something else?

My dog knows her name and she knows "come" because if we're in the house she always listens and sometimes when she's outside she listens. But sometimes she'll just completely blow me off and when I try and grab her she runs the other direction! It's incredibly frustrating but I don't know how to fix it. Helpful answers only...I don't want to hear any responses about how it's my fault. Thank you.

I've changed it now, but for a few monthes my rats were kept on pine! (I didn't know untill yesterday that it was pine.) Yes I know it's not allowed, but why?
If it has had an effect on my rats then what will happen? How do i know if they are okay?

I have decided to breed my mice.
Could I be able to GENTLY touch or hold the baby mice?
Would the mom get mad?
I want to socialize the mice as much as possible to insure they become the nicest less-skittish way possible.

I'm pet-sitting a young sulcata tortoise, and I feel bad for him because he is in too small of a space. He doesn't seem happy, and while I think he would probably be best living on a ranch somewhere, I am only pet-sitting so it is not my choice.

So, I simply have this sad tortoise in my room and nowhere else I can take him.

I notice he gets startled by noises throughout the day (cars passing, phones ringing, etc.), and it seems to me that must be very disconcerting for him. Are there any sounds I could play for him throughout the day that might make him feel more at home? Would he enjoy some sort of nature sounds CD or something? or maybe even music..? Does anyone know?

My cat has this problem where he wants to be petted but he won't let me pet him more then 2 seconds before he starts licking my hands and arms! I will push his face away and stuff but then he will grab my arm with his paw and pull my arm to his mouth to lick my hand! I just don't understand why he does it. Also if I push him away from me completely {which I feel so cruel doing!} he will come and lay on my chest and sit close to my arms and hands and lick them. He just won't stop! If I see him coming up to me I have to put my arms in the air and he still even follows them and stares at them and tries to get to them. It's crazy lol. Has anyone dealt with this before?? Can anyone tell me how I could possibly break him of this? Because it's so annoying, I can't stand it but I don't want him to think I don't love him. Just everytime I try to show him affection he won't stop licking my hands and arms!!! Can anyone help plz! Thanks!!

This is my mom's 8 month old cat. He jumps up on the table while they are eating and helps himself. He almost rolled over into mom's spaghetti the other night. They put him down, he jumps back up. They say no, he is happy to be acknowledged. Water gun, rolled up paper, swat his nose--it is all fun and games. He is not afraid of anything. Any other ideas?

There is a 3 legged dog in the pound. Shes 8 years old medium sized dog. Seems pretty nice. I have been keeping a eye on her and now I believe shes been there too long and needs out. I suppose people are unsure of her having 3 legs. Do you think this dog will be able to climb steep steps? Its her back leg that is missing. I know she can play and run like usual but what about the steps. I'm thinking I'm going to get her out tomorrow but rather her sleep in our room upstairs then downstairs in a crate. By the way, we are talking about a 100 year old farmhouse where the steps also curve up.

I bought 2 winter white female hamsters a year ago and they got on fine for 2 weeks then started fighting, so I seperated them. The thing is they had a lovely big cage when they were together but now they have to live in separate small mouse cages. Is it possible to reintroduce them? PS one is quite aggressive and a bit manic and the other one is quiet and placid.
