I have a yorkie that is 6 years old. She was just diagnosed with renal failure yesterday. Her temperature is very low. She just lays around. She will eat only wet food and water and I have to feed it to her. She has puppies that are 5 weeks old. I am very confused as to what to do. Should I put her to sleep now or how long should I give her before putting her down? This is the hardest decision I have ever had to make.

I have a female miniature schnauzer named Missy that we've had for around 3-4 years. She's my baby, spending every night in my room and pretty much following me wherever I go.

And then there's my stepsister's cat, Tiger, that is a 9 year-old orange tabby. She's not a bad cat, but she needlessly attacks Missy and injures her commonly.

I was typing in my room when, all of a sudden, I hear a screeching yelp, and my dog comes dashing in my room with a sliced nose. My sister was watching, and evidently Tiger wandered up to where my dog was sleeping and striked, following her taking of the spot to sleep on herself.

I about killed the damn cat.

Of course, my stepsister's dad refuses to get rid of, or even discipline the cat, though my stepsister is never around hardly to care for it.

Pretty much the case; i take care of the cat, and she attacks my dog.

What do I do?

We did a pet survey for my Girl Scout troop and to my surprise, several of the girls in my troop said that they don't give their dogs rawhide chews because they were dangerous or bad for them. None of them knew why though. So now I'm very curious, esp. because I do give them to my dog occasionally.

I am so upset. After trying to wait until she was out of heat we decided to go ahead and do the spay. We paid the extra money for pre-op bloodwork and everything came out perfect. She went through the surgery fine, woke up afterwards and was walking around, and then when the vet went in to check on her a little later, she wasn't breathing and they weren't able to bring her back.
I don't know what to do. I feel so terrible. I had such a bad feeling about the spay, I didn't want to do it while she was in heat but it was either do it now or wait until after the 18th of January, due to the holidays and travel.
Our vet was very sympathetic. She wrote off all costs and even offered to out of pocket to have her cremated if we wanted. I know she feels horrible that this happened, and she's a wonderful vet, so I know this didn't happen because of negligence.
I'm just trying to make sense of it. I wish I knew what happened, but I'll never know. Why could it have happened? What can I do?

My cocker is 2 years old. He is AKC registered, but neutered. I have no interest in showing him or breeding him. He was purchased strictly as a pet because I love the breed. He comes from a very reputable breeder, who actually would not sell him to me as anything other than pet quality, but she did give me his paperwork to fill out and send in. I haven't done it. The paperwork is still in my nightstand drawer. Is there any real need to, considering I'm not breeding or showing? I know he's purebred, so does it matter if his registration papers get updated?

How do i know if my floating glass thermometer is accurate? I used to have one in my tank but now i have a second one and there is a 3 or 4 degree difference between the two.. one thing i noticed is that when I tried moving them around different environments and one changes temp quicker than the other..

Also, do these things stay accurate over the years or not?

He's about 4 1/2 - 5 months old, and I rescued him from a burning car in a junk yard when he was pretty much first born. He's never seemed to really be playing with a "full deck of cards" but he's an awesome kitten. He is very smart and seems to do everything the dogs do, but he will NOT stay out of Christmas tree! It's a fake one and really expensive and hes breaking the branches and chewing the wires. We squirt him and firmly yell NO when he's in it and then we crate him. Unfortunately he is just not learning. So any cat experts advice would be wonderful!
and I don't want to hear anything from any of you A holes telling me to just beat the creature or any of that crap because i'll hunt you down and BEAT YOU

Thanks : )

At first I thought my cat ate my thread because I am a quilter. A few seconds later that "thread" ended up moving like its a worm! Help! What can I do? Buy a dewormer or take her to the vet? I have two 4 month old kittens (cats).

This question is directed more towards breeders...
As a breeder.. I breed for quality! I research..do health testing..and try my best to do things the right way...
When I breed.. I do not just turn them loose together and let them go at it like rabbits.. I want to know when they bred and how many times

When they are pregnant.. I hope for a small healthy litter (4-6)... enough for me to make my choices and place the remaining in homes...
it makes it easier on the mom...they normally have enough milk with smaller litters... and it is easier to spend time working with your puppies and making sure they are developing properly... and..the most important thing..you do not have tiny sickly babies
I know even with one breeding you can have 14 pups...but with more breedings you are more likely to have more pups.

So do you prefer a small litter or a large litter?


so far I have had 3 litters
litter 1 had 1 puppy
litter 2 had 4 puppies
and my current litter..5 puppies

I have just returned from the fish store about an hour ago. when i was there i got an oscar, a green terror, salt and a plant (i forget the the name now). when i got home, i put the plant in and 2 spoonfuls of salt. i have a filter running so i put the salt in where the water falls in, assuming that would cycle it better.

20 minutes later, after the fish had been in there bags adjusting temperature, i put them into the tank. the oscar immediately went down to about the bottom of the tank but the green terror swam around for about 5-10 minutes and then hid behind the plant. i tried feeding them and they just ignored the food until some got hit by the current from the filter, at which point the oscar swam for it.

right now, they are both on the bottom, vertical at least. the water's temp is 78-79F. i've had the tank running for about 2 days to cycle all the water through the filter. i added de-chlorinater when i added the water in the beginning.
thanks
phill.

I have 2 dogs, they are weimaraners I love me dogs dearly but my husband has issues with them being dirty and licking their privates and we have had many fights about the dogs, I would really like for them to be in the house I would train them and such. But he will not budge, on the issue. They do have good insulated dog houses and plenty of food water and attention I would rather spend time out there with them. they are taken for walks daily and I am out there playing with them all the time. I feel bad for them If I had my way (which I don't ) They would be inside. I am not sure how to get him to budge on the issue I live in CA right now. Southern. I am gonna try to get his mom to talk with him when we go home to visit them for christmas. there should be some type of compromise right? any way thanks .

ers, my husband could sleep with them crawling all over him and he did'nt seem to be bothered, but I could'nt sleep, they were big, you could hear them walking across the floor, the had a big butt, brown and some were black we found in the bathtub, big with long legs, they did'nt have the markings of a wolf spider, people say they were water spiders, I say they were brown recluses, what do you think

Hes not damaging anything. Its just weird. Hell go up to the Glass sliding door, stare at it, then get up on his hind legs and start scratching it up and down really fast, then my other neutered male cat will run towards him and attack him and theyll wrestle. Does anyone know why hes doing that? Its funny to watch, since hes not destroying anything, but ive never heard of or seen a cat do that! Thanks everyone! =)
