Two were killed, heads left on, 1 was partially eaten. I checked them at noon, they were all fine, went to close hatch in coop at 9pm and found them. Feathers all over inside of 6 x 9 coop! Other 10 hens are ok. We got snow since 4pm so no tracks visible. Pen is 10 x 16 x 5 ft chain link. No cover in winter. Weasel? Aren't opposums/coons hibernating now?

My dog is a biter sometimes, with males.I don't know why but I adopted him when he was 3.

My boyfriend and dog were laying side by side and when my boyfriend turned around in the direction of my dog to give him a belly rub.My male dog Suddenly bit him on the nose causing it to bleed a little.My boyfriend reacted by immediately slapping him(HARD).and chasing him in to his Room.and made him(my dog) stay there for 30min.
My dog does not seem mad or is trying to avoiding him, and they are hanging out in the same room together right now.
But Dogs can not speak.
Question......Should I report my boyfriend for abuse ?

She claims our dog was picked up by animal control, but he was not. I checked. She claims she rightfully adopted him when he was picked up. I have proof of ownership of the dog. Does he belong to her or us?

I changed the water this morning. Could he be dying? It's about 8 inches long. Will it hurt my other fish? He's about as long as my finger and fat. Help!

OK, I ran over my cat pulling into the drive way this morning. I put it in the garbage can under some newpapers. I'm not sure what i shoulld do about my kids, though. They kinda liked the cat, and it was a black one, so i think might just get another one. Does this work?

I have a male cat who is about 4 or 5 years old he showed up on my door step a few years back. He does have leukemia but that has not been a problem yet. Yesterday he got lethargic and refused to eat I took him to the vet and she discovered he had a fever of 104 and a abscessed gland under his jaw on his neck so she drained it and gave him a shot of penicillin.

She also believes he has a blood parasite and she is treating him with antibiotics. This morning he is feeling better he is eating again and going outside for a short time.

His gland is still very swollen and now his jaw is swollen also the swelling seems to have stopped his eye is not swollen shut I am just wondering if this swelling is normal after it was drained and he was put on antibiotics?

Okay, my school project is over animal testing. I have reasons for why it is good, we have gotten several vaccines because of animal testing and several surgery procedures, and why its bad, such as most animal reactions aren't the same as human reactions and animals might be in pain. So here it the age old question, are you for animal testing or against it?

Please give me serious answers this is a survey that I'm taking for my project. So please give me you answer and then why you think that.
Please take into consideration that this is for my school and I need nice answers! Please think hard about your answer!
Thanks so much! :)


btw: please don't put that your half and half. That would be very much appreaciated! :)

I'm trying to help find a home for him. I know if he is full bred, my mom would want him (she's that type of person). She already has 1 BC and a Rat Terrier, although she wants a basset hound. The woman that has him said the vet thought he was full bred.

Well yesterday I got a 3 month old albino rat named Kaiser (pronounced Kye-Zer)

I know you are supposed to get a rat from a good breeder or trusted pet store where they are handled daily, but I didn't know the conditions until I arrived.

The entire store is very cool and clean, and the rat cage was also very clean, but there were far too many rats in that one cage for it's size. I doubt they were handled often or possibly, got exercise, or possibly were underfed. Once I got there, I didn't want to be rude, and immediately connected with this rat, therefore deciding to buy it.

It has no problem however with being handled, it in fact clings to me, cuddles in my lap, and rides around on my shoulder. However, the poor thing has almost no muscle mass or any sense of fun whatsoever.

He almost seems to resist fun of any sort.

Will he warm up to this new concept of "fun", and what types of things can i do to help him?

My cat does some really weird things but these two I can't explaine...

First, she dips her paws in her water bowl and licks the water off and drinks that way. Sometimes she drinks normally but lots of times I find her like this.

Also, she has a few little toys (a tiny stuffed butterfly and a tiny stuffed dog) that she picks up in her mouth and purpously drops into her water bowl! I saw her do this only once but almost every day I come home and find her toys like this!!

WHY Does she do these things??????

Hubby, doggy, my baby and I just went for a walk outside. There were 2 small dogs following us no matter where we went. One stopped though.
They sniffed our legs and kept walking next to us.
I felt uncomfy cause you never know.. He could've been sick or whatever.
At some point he left us alone. I'm glad this was a small breed because last time a German Shepard did the same thing.

Grrr I hate when I can't see an owner and they're not on a leash.

I recently adopted an adult cat. I absolutely love everything about her, except for when I'm sleeping, she always jumps on my bed and attacks my feet, it doesn't matter if my feet are underneath the covers, or exposed. And it actually hurts alot! I love her sleeping on the bed with me, but I really don't like it when she attacks my feet though. She hates the spray bottle that I have for when she attacks my feet, but I dont want to use it too much and her not want to get on the bed with me, or be afraid I will squirt her every time she jumps up there. Is there any way that I can communicate with her to let her know that it is ok to get on the bed to SLEEP, but not ok to attack my feet?
