My dog passed a few days ago. We had to put her to sleep. I'm still in shock of what happened. 12 years with her.
That day i cried so much.
She usually slept at the end of my bed but the last night i had with her she slept next to me. Maybe she knew that she was going to Heaven. I do believe that animals go to Heaven, why not?
I'm glad shes out of her misery, i cant imagine how much pain she was in. She had an infection in her uterus, and the vet said she might not make it through surgery, because of her age.
To go through surgery and for her not making it would be more devestating. Putting her to sleep was the best way i think.
She wasnt alone when she passed, the whole family was there.
I dont feel guilty at all, Im happy shes free, doesnt have to go through anymore pain. I just miss her. I pray to God, if only i can see her. If she can tell me that shes happy.

He hasn't eaten in a week. I got "reptiaid" to supplement, but I have to use a syringe to feed it to him. He can't close his mouth and his tongue is so swollen, it is sticking out all the time. What happened, and can I fix him?

im thinking of buying a 5 year old aquarium, with 5 year old pump, heater etc.

is it obsolete now? i mean, a 5 year old TV would be hardly worth what you paid for it 5 years ago.

She is a old chicken with no toes and is pretty small. My b/f's uncle found her one day when his dogs brought her up on the porch and now she is ours with a nice pen inside *and yes it gets stinky so we clean her pen out daily*. Well, I would like to give her a bath to help keep her clean and happy. Any suggestions for during and after bath care for small indoors chicken with no toes?

I have heard pink paw pads mean a cat is a pedigree,not sure if that is true.

Is it either black or pink paw pads,on a cat?

So today I opened my mailbox and found a letter from animal services labeled *Violation Notice*(I'm on Florida). It states that Im in Failure to Vaccinate dogs against rabies($50) and Failure to obtain required license tag for Intact dog($150!) + 2 subcharges of 20 dollars.

My question is do i really have to pay the money? Anything I can do to drop the fine? Im willing to pay for the rabies and even the License tag, but not for the fines. I never was told about the License tag, and I DID vaccinate the dog but they told me that it apparently was not for rabies. I would had gladly taken the dig to get vaccinated and a License tag if they had actually at least give me a call on my phone and tell me I needed further actions.


PS: Sorry if I make mistakes, English is not my native langauge.

I moved in with my dad a few weeks ago. My dad's girlfriend has two cats and my cat didn't really pay any attention to them at first. About a week later, however, we can't get her to leave them alone. She's growl at them all night under my dad's bed and keep him awake and during the morning she sleeps. If he tosses her out of his room at night and into my room she cries all night and I don't get any sleep. The cats are scared to death of her and want nothing to do with her. They spend all their time in my dad's room :-( I feel so bad. My dad thinks we're going to have to send my cat back to live at my old house in chicago (which has two cats too and she got along with them fine). Any suggestions?

i have a little yorkie. he is 3 years old and i am having some problems with his behavior. everytime someone yells at me he threatens to attack by growling and jumping on them. he hasnt gotten to the point of biting yet. he follows me around everywhere even to the bathroom and if i dont let him into the bathroom while i shower he will just wait at the door and take a nap until i come out. certain things he does are cute but some are just rude. like for example when i get home from work i knock at the door ( i dont have a key yet) he goes crazy. not when others knock only when i do. he wants to attack everyone and runs around from one side of the house to the door telling everyone im home. he gets really angry at everyone in te house when i come in. i dont understand why he does that. why does me being gone all day make him so mad at my mom and my sister? its so strange.

I feel SO bad for the helpless animals that are screaming in pain, being held and screaming from POKING THEIR EYE OUT! How do we help? I mean us kids, I love animals and want to STOP animal testing as it is SO cruel. I am so MAD at people who think it is right!

How much should I pay an acquaintance to feed my two cats once a day for 4 days, plus give one of them medicine? Her drive will be 5 minutes. Scooping out the food will take almost no time. The most difficult thing will be playing hide-and-seek with the cat who needs medicine. She has already practiced administering the medicine and didn't have a problem. I am not asking her to clean the litter boxes or do anything else. We are in southeast Michigan.

I took my 2 year & 6 month old cats to a quack vet after they started showing pnemonia-like symptoms & they prescribed them steriods. Is this really safe to give to my babies? They are still very sick & I don't know what to do.

In my aquarium are two gouramis (as well as a senegalus and a pleco but these fish both live in blissful ignorance of other fish). As often happens with a gourami pair, one has established itself as the dominant fish and the other is submissive (though he is often bold and uppity). They are both males.

I was wondering if adding a third gourami will help ease the aggression of the dominant fish, or if it would make things worse for the submissive fish.

(Overcrowding is not an issue here, it's a 20 gallon tank but I am soon upgrading to a 55 in a month or two. Just wondering about the behavior of the fish.)
