My little buddy who is a peekapoo has been rubbing his butt alot for the last month. He has been to the vet twice once to check his anal glands but right after he came home he started pivoting again. The second time the vet put him on medication but that didn't work and know they are talking about that he might be allergic to the food he has been eating for the last 8 years. The pivoting comes and goes and at times he cries and his anus is red. They checked for fleas and he was ok. We have another peekapoo and she is a female around 9 years old and no problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated since it hurts to see him suffer.
Thanks

On friday my brother and sis wanted to take out my guinea pigs. I have 3 females and 2 males. 1 of my males started humping or mating on the female that can get pregnant. He tryed to do this over and over again. When we noticed this occuring we made sure it stoped. Now the same female is being more aggressive toward the others. The they have been fighting each other. This is not the first time my guinea pig may have got pregnant by the males. I know some of the sigms. she eats more,drinks mre, sleeps more, and lays around. Why is she being so agressive to the others?? Is she pregnant?

Recently my rabbit went through a phantom pregnancy and seems to have come out of it very loving!! She absolutely loves our attention now which she has always done but she has also always enjoyed her own time! Now she sits at the door and waits for us to come out and play! She is so cute! Last night I was stroking her back and she just collasped and rolled on her back and let me rub her belly! She seemed to love it!!! Then she got up ran away and came back and did the same thing! She is our 1st rabbit and until you have one you dont appreciate how much fun they really are! She's like a mini dog!! :-)

Anyway do you think I should get her a companion or do you think our time with her is enough??

Now this... what do we do?

He is almost always biting, licking, scratching at some part of himself. He gets the Hartz 4-in-1 flea/tick drops for prevention. He's been on antibiotics multiple times for bacteria in his ear - now he's deaf. They also thought he was depressed (we were in a rural area at the time and he's a city dog.) We got him from a shelter 6 years ago, and he was licking himself (like ocd) while he was there. He's part shepherd so he's more prone to ear infections. His ears stink tremendously. Do we need to take him to a homeopathic vet, or: Isn't there some natural remedy to help him and us?!! Thanks in advance.

I own a three year old short-haired female rabbit named Nibbles. (not really what her breed is) She hasn't eaten very much today and has pooped very little. She's drinking and urinating normal, and her stool looks normal. She isn't showing any signs of pain or bloating in the stomach. She seems slightly lethargic, but is still wide-eyed and active.
I should also mention that Nibbles is an outdoor bunny and her hutch is located in the gazebo of backyard. (we make sure it's inulated and cover it at night and on windy days) But we moved her indoors when we noticed she stopped eating.
We're going to feed her some Timothy hay to see if it loosens her up. Due to cuircumstances beyond our control we won't be able to take her to a vet until Wednesday. What should my family do until then?

Why is it that Vets recommend Science Diet?
Here's a quote from Dogfoodanalysis.com:
"The primary ingredient in the food is a low quality grain. Corn is a problematic grain that is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems. We prefer not to see this used in dog food, yet it is the primary grain in this food.
The next ingredient in this food is by-products...."

After all of the recalls, and all of the information that's readily available about the problems that dogs have with these kinds of ingredients, why is it still being regarded as "good food"?

I always wondered how a cat can give birth to multiple kittens and they all look different. There is a stray in the neighborhood that is a grey calico, her kittens are two gray and white, orange and white and a dark calico.

My cat lives outside, and it's generally in an area that has tall grass, bushes and trees. We've found two ticks on him in the last two days, and a few more before that. What is the best thing to use for ticks? I was thinking a collar/Spot-On combination but I'm not sure if that's over-doing it.

We have a seven month old Boxer puppy. We got her at four months and she seemed to be mostly potty trained. We followed all the suggestions of crate training, took her out frequently to the same place in our yard. We praised her and gave her treats for going potty, etc. She has had a couple accidents in her crate where she'll pee overnight, but those were few and far between. She seemed to be doing great.

Now, all of a sudden, she has started peeing on the kitchen floor! (where we keep her when she's not outside). It's like she's reverting. We haven't caught her doing it, so we can't tell her no. She spends most of her time outside, and when inside we take her out frequently, so it's not like it's because she's locked inside for hours on end.

What can we do? Are we doing something wrong? Is this normal in the training, growing up process in dogs? We clean the spots with anti-pet smell solution, but obviously it's not working.

Suggestions from pet experts or owners?

Thanks

When i take my dog out of it's cage, my dog goes somewhere and finds bones. I do not know where they come from or why they are there. There is no soil there, so I'm sure that my dog isn't the one who kept it somewhere. It might be the neighbors, because they know that i have a dog. Maybe they are thieves, because it will bark if there is an unknown person in sight. How do i know if there is no poison?

Is it because they can't talk, or just because they listen and let us vent. I have often wondered, if they understand what I tell them. But I never have to worry about them telling what I say, lol.

Well I have 2 fish, they're like Big Exotic goldfish. Well, anyways, I have other fish too but this question is about them 2. Before, they were inseperable but in a romantic way. They even used to kiss haha. Well anyway, now I notice that the male is acting aggressive. He's chasing her around and won't let her go where she wants, and he won't let her eat. Is this mating? Or what should I do?
