I have cats and am considering getting a Greyhound, One drawback...
If i bring the greyhound up from a pup, Will he-she get along with my cats and learn NOT to chase them?.... If he-she 'does' chase them, would this be in a playful way, or would his intentions be to maim or even kill!!????

I'm considering a second dog, and if I get one it will either be a Cane Corso or an Akita. My current dog is an 8 month old neutered male Kai Ken (related to the Akita, but will max out around 50 lbs). I wouldn't get the second dog for about 6 months, as I'm about to purchase a home and would wait until I was settled in to get the new dog. There will be a fenced yard for the dogs while I'm at work, but my dogs are inside dogs when I'm home. I know about raising large dogs and dealing with dominance. Just looking for stories or suggestions from those who know the breeds. How are they with other dogs they are raised with? Are they social enough for trips to the dog park? How about with kids? Any special difficulties with them? How are they as guard/protection dogs? Thanks!

I bought one a long time ago and the yellow stripes haven't appeared. Did I buy the right loach. I wanted there to be yellow stripes!

Obviously the first thing to do is to go the vet.

But, I'm looking for alternative methods to helping my kitty as well. I believe she has a urinary tract infection. She is a young, healthy, indoor cat (about two years old).

Lately, she has been (around every half an hour) getting into her litter box and squatting as if she was peeing, but nothing comes out. And she's continuing this routine often. Every few hours she does succeed in peeing (because she actually needs to)

Now, does this sound like a urinary tract infection? And do any of you know any home remedies for the problem? Someone suggested giving her some plain yogourt b/c of the yeast content.

Thank you!

This morning I awoke to find the ankle on my male rat's left back leg horribly swollen. He won't walk on it, though he only seems bothered by it when it is straight. I'm very worried, and not sure what to do. There are no bones protruding anywhere; the swelling is very consistent the whole was around his ankle.

If there is anything a vet could do(other than just tell me that he sprained it) I have no problems taking him. But he is still young(around 11 weeks, I believe) so I don't know what all could be done for him.


Does any one have advice on ways to help him myself, or should I just go ahead and take him? About what would the cost be of having him checked out?

Any help at all would be really appreciated, I'm very worried about my little boy...

At what age/size will my red-bellies get their red bellies?

I have 2 electric yellows and I just finally realized the smaller electric yellow is a male because his bottom and rear fin has black color.....before this week it didn't show the color.

my other yellow is also a male.....but is so much BIGGER than him, yet i got these BOTH at the SAME time and SAME size!

i kept thinking that the smaller one must have been a female, since females are generally smaller then males, until i found out today hes a male as well....and hes barely growing. when i feed them they both eat every time too and theres absolutely no bullying, fighting, their black top fin is as black as black can be.

so my question is, how come? how could this yellow be growing so slow.

picture quality not great but these are the two

Long story short, there has been this male gray cat that has been hanging around my yard. He trusts me a lot. He takes food from my hand, comes to me when called and rubs against my leg. Now he is a stray. The other day me and my mom caught him in a crate so that we can get him vaccianated and neuteured. Now since we have released him he has not come back. Im afraid that he might not trust me again since we tricked him into getting in the crate...what do you think?...do you think he will come back...we do feed him

It looks like he wants to attack her. He starts shaking and makes low deep throat grunting noises. How do I get him to not be aggressive to my new puppy?

I have kept them separated very well.

i just brought my new appy home yesterday, and I am thinking of renaming him. his name is legacy, but it sounds to girly to me. i don't really have a picture of him on the computer yet, so here is the ad for him.

http://www.dreamhorse.com/show_horse.php?form_horse_id=1030299

he is one of the best horses i have ever been around (so far...), and he is a real gentleman. anyway, he is an arab/appy cross. i was thinking a Native American name mabye, but i can't pronounce some of them, and i want one that sounds pretty, but is unique.

so if you guys have any suggestions native american or not, lemme know. thanks!!

p.s. his real name is TAIRS BRIGHT LEGACY.

I thought I would be able to get him to the vet to get frontline, so by the time his hair grew back, the fleas would be gone. I did this about 2 months ago. His hair is growing back slowly, he used to have a full tail, now he looks scraggly. Do you know how long it will take for his hair to grow back?

My mother recently took in a stray cat and her kitten. She took them to the vet to get checked out and found out that the mother is a FIV carrier. The baby is still too young to be tested (he's around 8 weeks old). What exactly does this mean? All the vet did was hand us a pamphlet and told us that something "might" happen. Since she's a carrier does that mean she will be sick? What are the chances that the baby may be infected?

my chihuahua keeps scratching BEHIND his right ear with his leg so much that has a bald spot there.

I regularly bathe him with flea & tick shampoo and also use the flea drops but he keeps scraching.

What could be wrong?

Hey, this morning someone covered my cat in diesel or petrol... earlier his meow was very gurgled (as though he had been dunked in water)...
I washed him with very mild soap and he's dried off now (still a wee bit greasy with a strong smile), but he's eating and drinking, and is still cheeky enough to try and jump on the kitchen worktops in hunt of food (lol)
His meow has returned, but one eye is very sore looking, and although it can open fully, he seems to prefer squinting....
I don't necessarily think this is an emergency, and I dont want to have to bother my vet this late (11pm), and he's walking around very well, but any advice for the eye??
Thanks
