What can you tell me about giving my puppy her vaccinations by myself as opposed to a veterinarian? How would I go about doing this? Where do I get supplies, etc. thanks!

I just brought home my new puppy and he is so scared, he wont really play and now he is not eating either. He was with several other dogs at the store and he looks really depressed. Did I pick a bad one? I know I have to take him to the vet if he doesn't start eating really soon, but in the meantime... HELP!

people always think it would be cute to let there kids grow up with a puppy. What do you feel the biggest mistakes are that people make when deciding to add a puppy to the family? or even a child to the home that already has pets...

a little story from when I was a kid... my neighbors loved little Yorkies. I remember they had 2 totally cute ones... one day they ony had 1..and a week or 2 later they did not have either instead they had a puppy...soon the puppy was gone and replaced with a larger breed pup.. come to find out...their little boy found it fun to take their dogs and put them in the pool...he wanted to see them swim under water...needless to say they would drown... so why get more..why have any? what to do to prevent this and other things from happening...

We adopted a cat about a months ago that was rescued from a drain pipe on a very busy road. The cat recently got a round patch of hair missing from him and my first thought was ringworm. We took him to the vet and the vet wasn't sure so he did a culture on him to see if it is ringworm and we are waiting the results. The reason iam asking if they have to have a lesion is because my 2 other cats show no signs of ringworm and this vet is insisting he must have gotten this from one of my other cats along with ear mites! Neither of my other cats or dogs have earmites either. Iam just not understanding how supposedly this cat got all these problems from my other animals meanwhile my other animals do not have these problems.

Is this product disturbing to anyone else?

It's an automatic feeder that will feed your dog for 8 days. Do you think there are people who are leaving their dog alone with this gizmo for 8 days and hoping everything works out okay?

SCARY!!!

My chiwawa died last night right after she had 2 puppies. I'm unsure what to give the puppies to eat and my vet told me he had some expensive milk he would sell me for them but its like 20 dollars a bag and i dont have any money right now because my husband doesnt get paid until later tonight but the puppies havent eaten anything since they were born so what can i give them until then?

My cat is about a year old now, and she is savage. Sometimes she can be so cuddly and affectionate, and other times shell attack your face, feet, hands, heck, any part of the body. and i mean BADLY. she clings on, doesnt let go. she has an attitude, and its scary sometimes.... her ears go backwards, walks sideways, and pounces on you. she is not fixed yet, do you think that has something to do with it?????? any other ideas!!!

My hamster became sick on monday with wet tail
she also had prolapsed intestines.
last night she went out of her little house and was very active even went on her wheel and it seemed like her prolapsed intestines disapeared.
We thought that she was getting all better. we even gave her pedialyte.
this morning I found her not moving in her little house. she is curled up and seems stiff.
Is she dead or just hibernating?
how long should we wait to make sure that i dont bury her alive and what are the sure signs that she is dead.
please help!!!

Have you ever spotted any unusual birds that aren't common to your area? What sort of food mixtures do you use if you do feed them? Thanks.. I love to watch and feed the birds and I wonder what sort of birds are out there in other parts of the country and world.

Not from a vet. Need something from Walmart or typical supermarket. Affordable. Thanks. Oh yes, will an occasional can of sardines harm her. She seems to gas up a lot.

Hi I have a 11 week old siberian husky and he has had diarrha off in on for the past 2 days (I think he got into the cat food and ate some rocks)My vet has prescribe some Forti Flora for him and it's only working a little bit to harden his stools. I'm afraid that he will get dehydrated and playing with ice from the fridge has lost some interst to him, he is drinking, but I'm not sure if it's nearly enough (doesn;t seem as much as usual) He is still energetic and is vaccinated up to date. I have read online to intise a dog to drink water is to add chicken broth in the water, but I haven't found anything if it is ok for puppies. Thank you for your imput!

I used to feed my dog with Pedigree and some human-food. But the ////// president of my country (Vzla) had the idea of fabricating our own pet food (wich sucks), so we don't import anymore and the onyl food available here is Purina and some weird "dog food" tha smells like plastic. I'm defintely not feeding her with the "plastic food", but i heard that Purina had an accident that made a lot of dogs die,,,,,is that still happening? Should i feed my dog with Purina or make her a diet with human-food (meat,vegetables,,etc.)??
