Is there a reason, or is she just having fun and/or trying to escape?

The issues have been going on now for over a year. They thought that it was puppy vaginitis, but it didn't go away after she was fixed. She is already on special food, and the infections still are occuring every 3 months or so. We go in get some drug (tried many kind) and it works for a while. She drinks a lot of water, but she is a large breed, so I am not sure. She is a Saint Bernard only a year and a half, I just want to know if something else is going on, or why it's happening. Any advice may help. Thanks

The first one got too hot, where I think it could have possibly scalded him. The one I have now seems to only keep the water in the low 70's. It a green one with a constant temperature setting of 78 degrees (yeah, right!). It has a protective cover that I like...but just keeps it too cold for Wisconsin. He seems sluggish. Can anyone give me a model of a heater they love? He also seems to like to push the tube kind out of the water, which is not good, so I would prefer a safe model. Thanks for your help.

I was petting my cat, who is possibly FIV positive (he had a false-positive test as a kitten and hasn't been retested yet), and I found a tick embedded in his neck. I know the tick has been there for a few days, as I felt it 2 days ago. I removed the tick and have cleansed the area on my cat's neck with rubbing alcohol and then antibiotic cream to prevent infection. I dropped the tick into an alcohol solution. I believe I got the head. The tick is cream and it has black legs. I looked up Google images, but that wasn't much help as it said deer ticks both were cream with black legs.

Also, should I take my cat to the vet for a check-up or wait for signs and symptoms first? So far, my cat is acting perfectly normal and has a great appetite and is very active. I live in Central Florida and didn't think we had deer ticks around here.

I just moved one cichlid from a tank where he was solitary into a bigger tank with five other cichlids. He's been in this tank before with all of them, but now for some reason none of them will eat anything.

OK, it's not really the right term, I'm sure, but someone called it this in the previous question about Kimbertal Dobes.

My question is not about Kimbertal. But rather about the method of breeding whereby the breeder gives a family a ***** to raise and love and then they breed it and some sort of agreement is worked out whereby the original breeder keeps some or all of the puppies.

From my (limited) reading and hearing about this, it seems like, if done correctly, it has the potential to be a great system. (Of course it can be very bad, too.) People who want to breed get a great dog and a mentor. The breeder, if he wants to expand his bloodlines while still giving all his dogs quality of life, can do so.

I heard that it's pretty common in the Scandinavian area among the top breeders. Most breeders don't have more than one or two dogs living in their residence.

I didn't contact Schutzshep&Schutzdobe kennels yet.

I have a german shepherd almost 2 years old. She knows sit, come, no. The only thing is when she is distracted or doing something she thinks is better she ignores me. How do I get my dog to stop ignoring me and do what I tell her to no matter what distraction is around?

If a dog never had parvo shots as apuppy can it contact parvo later on? As in older puppy years or as a adult- If not when is it safe to let a puppy outside in a yard that may have had a previous parvo outbreak. Not sure if this puppy has had any shots? Thanks

I have 6 cats. I am 22 wks pregnant. My cats were recently soaked with Lime Sulfur Dip because one of them has a very rare mite that the Lime Sulfur Dip only will kill and it has to be applied for 6 weeks, once a week. Its active ingredient is 97.8% Lime Sulfur Concentrate. I asked the nurse and she said I shouldn't touch it & let someone else bathe them which I did. But you're not suppose to dry them so they get this stuff everywhere and I even got some on me and wasn't suppose to but I washed right away. My house smells like rotten eggs and so do my hands because my cats are dry but the stink is still on them. I had a fan & opened window yesterday. Window is open right now.

Anybody else use this stuff or know anything about it? It can cause skin irritation. It's something that we have to do because of this mite and if we don't it causes severe itching on the cats and I don't need any more open sores on them.
Is it bad I can still smell this stuff and should I not have used it?

Hey guys,
Another quick question: My family adopted a 3 1/2 year old Border Collie from a rescue, and it's obvious that she has been through a lot. She's been hit by at least one car (possibly two), shot in the leg, neglected in a kennel and (from what we can see) abused in general.

My question is regarding her back right leg. She favors it and usually fails to catch herself with it when she jumps in the air. She has seen a vet about this and they basically had absolutely no idea what the problem is. This may or may not be the leg she was shot in.

I'm wondering if there is anything we can do to help her strengthen this leg. I've heard aqua therapy helps out a lot, and one of the vets who examined her front leg (broken from the impact of the first car, then put into a splint by her cheap and idiot previous owners) recorded that she could really benefit from swimming.

Here's the catch: She is absolutely terrified of water. I don't think she's every actually been IN a pond.

i have a Cittertrail 3 by Super Pet, for my hammie, Daisy. during the day, she like to sleep in the top open-up nest box thingy. I talk softly to her to wake her up and she wakes up, then goes in the tube for ten minutes, or until i am away for a little. How do i get my hammie out of the tube without killing it?





I know Daisy isn't dying because i showed her to my vet cousin and she said Daisy looked fine

My friend buys this special food for her dog and says that purina and all the other brand name foods are not good for the dog, and thats why they are so cheap but I think they are inexpensive because they have more of the market and she is getting gypped buying special food called Nature's Recipe and Natural Choice which has lamb and rice.

What is really the scoop on dog food? I see some food at the Dollar Store for 5 bucks for 30 lbs also, so maybe that is junk but what about Purina and other top brands? Thanks
