She had a litter of 9 puppies last Dec and has gone down hill since then. I have taken her to the vets and had blood work done but Its all normal. Her coat is real dull and her gums are pale. She will just be running and playing then all of the sudden she throws up her food. She get Lamp and Rice dog food and is up on her shots and de-worming. What could be wrong with her?? She is my baby girl I want her better

My 4 mth old puppy is great about going outside when I take her. If I am not watching her she is in the crate. I take her out at least every hour and after meals. Twice she has gone and whimpered at the door and when I took her out she went. But the other night she was just hanging out with my son and I and she peed on the carpet.

How do I train her to let me know she has to go out and not soil the carpet?

I am about to get a Golden/Lab mix puppy. I would like to find a good puppy food that does not contain a lot of grains. Do you have any suggestions?
I really want to provide the puppy with the best food I can get. If you could tell me what you feed yours and why, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

For starters I've already phoned the vet and they said to just keep an eye on her and if her situation changes to bring her in. And my apologies for being a little 'graphic' in my details . . .
My dog ate a pack of my sister's cigarettes. Yes, my dog pulled the purse off a table after we had gone to bed and scrounged thru to find them, so please do not think this was in any way intentional. And I'm still angered at sis for not keeping such things zipped inside her purse!
However, anyone ever have this happen? What was the outcome? As near as we can figure she could have eaten about 10 cigarettes.
So far she has been eating & drinking normally. No vomitting but she has developed diarhea. Vet said that is to be expected but if she vomits or stops eating/drinking I should bring her in.

Recently, my indoor-only cats got fleas. I don't have the means (or enough cat carriers) to get them to the vet, so I've bought the over-the-counter sprays and shampoos, which helped a lot. However, my one cat who was affected the most by these fleas now has worms, which I understand can come from ingesting fleas (gross). The worms my cat has look kind of like squiggly white rice. She also feels "rattly" when I hold her. I don't know if it's because her last bath made her sick, or if it's from the worms. This is new to me. The other 2 cats do not appear to be affected by worms. Is there a treatment I can buy for my cat without bringing her into the vet?

I am a recently certified dog trainer. My close friend ask me to train her dog. This sarted last week. Her dog (Lucky) has never before been trained, so this came as a surprise to him. He started to withdraw himself from her. He acts depressed-will not come when called, overly calm (not in a good way), his head is always low, ect.. Even though I have been trained in dog behaivior, I don't know what's wrong. Please help. One more thing: When walking yesterday (on the leash), he started spinning compulsively.

He has had these pink raised bumps on his ears on and off for about the last year or so. They are warm to the touch and they are almost more inside/underneath the skin rather than being on the surface like a pimple or something. They are sensitive and he will hardly let me touch his ears when the bumps are there. They eventually dry out and flake, sometimes taking some his fur with it.

He is an 18 month old Chihuahua mix. Has anyone had any experience with something like this? What could it be?

I recently adopted a new dog from the shelter where I volunteer. She is a 4 yr old mixed breed, brindle in coloring. I have no idea what her exact pedigree is, but she looks like a brindle colored lab. My family, on the other hand, thinks she is a pitbull. My sister has one so far as to say she will not come over to my house as long as I have "that dog!" My brother says she is going to bite my children, and my ex-husband has threatened me with trying for full custody of the children because they are in danger from the "vicious pitbull". This dog passed the temperment test with flying colors. She is so gentle and laid back. Any suggestions as to how to get my family to be more acceptive of my new dog. She is not a vicious dog, and she may have some pitbull in her, but that doesn't make her a "bad dog".

I want one snail in my tank, I heard there's a kind that aren't hermaphrodites and can only breed with two?

Was it mystery snails? I just want to double check before I buy one and find my tank overrun!

what is the reason for it, I am assuming since a lot of people on here think they are lovely dogs that our government has made a huge mistake and just banned them for no reason. Also what are the statistics for being attacked by a pit bull, all I here about are the fatal attack statistics what about the people who survive attacks to tell the tale, surely they are worth noting too when you start reeling off your statistics and how theres only been 3 fatal deaths per year or what ever it is.

I want some ideas for some fish that would get along good in a 50 gal tall tank. I would like some medium sized fish as the smaller fish, like guppies and mollies, just seem too small.

"pulling the hair out" or "plucking the hair out", but to me, when the vet did this, he held my dog's head down, flipped the ear, grabbed onto the hair inside of his ears with his thumb and index finger, and was ripping/pulling it out in a fast jerking motion. Now is this how it is supposed to be done, because yes, my dog had an ear infection at the time, but I think it would still hurt!

Okay so some byb set up their "puppy stand" outside of our local pet store every weekend (the same times our rescue does an adoption)
They are APRI registered hahaha!!!
anyway,
we live in texas and we were told it may be illegal for them to set up in a public parking lot and sell animals.
Also the puppies are only 6 weeks old...is this illegal.?
our aco does not care, and does not want to do the work.
The petstore parkign lot is community parking lot..so the sotre manager said that even if they are right in front of the store on the sidewalk he cannot say anything.
any advice on how to get these people to stop selling their 1500 2 pound yorkies? (mini greyhounds, teacup chis, chug, pugs...and the list goes on...)
