if a dog barks alot and you yell no at them every time, they quit for that time but then something else exciting happens and they start all over again. this goes on for years. What else can you do?

My dog has had a couple of urinary tract infections this past year, and she is only 10 months old. She's been on clavamox, she takes cranberry relief in her food, and she use to take a medicine that made her urine more acidic.
Our veternarian said she will most likely go on a prescription diet. I have looked online and found Hill's Science Diet for urinary tract.
My question is do I have to go through the vet to get it, or can I buy it at Petco or Petsmart?

OK my guppy just died.. she was heavily pregnant. I tried to save her babies but they were to young. I think she had worms because she had like 5 red threads coming out of her well down there. (Its definately not poo, there 5 hanging out of her at once an they go back in and never go away, NOTPOO) well as has these han Now my other guppy has those threads too, she also looks like shes moulting her scales. These two females were in with two other males and 30 fry. The females are gone but the males airnt. One doesnt look to good i think hes just too old. the thing im worried about is how do i cure the worms and will my cichlid tank 180L be infected as i had the females in there earlier today and decided to put them in my smaller tank with the fry. And my major problem is i have catfish loaches and fry whitch are all hard to treat (lower doses). See my problem?

HELP how do i cure the worms? i live in Australia QLD and will my beloved cichlid tank fishes be ok?? Im scared any help!

I know a great majority of the people on here understand the facts: There are no bad dogs, only bad dog owners.

BUT is anyone willing to admit that, despite knowing the facts, they are still a bit more cautious around "bully breeds" like Staffordshire Terriers and American Pit Bull Terriers, than other dogs?

Be honest! Hold back on the thumbs if they are not necessary (positive thumbs are okay)! And NO bashing!

I rescued my American Bulldog from an abusive owner 4 months ago, he's doubled in size in that time and all he wants to do is play. He's 20 months old and I'd like to put him in a conformation class since he's gorgeous, (I get compliments on him all the time), he's exactly as describe in the breed standards I've read. His previous owner got him from a breeder who used DRA, the Dog Registry of America, (unrecognized by any well known regisrty) so do I just resign myself to putting him in a working dog competition? I.E. Pulling I have had many people ask if I intend to breed him, It's a thought, but I'd like to get him some points beforehand. He's just an awesome animal who has been through a lot of hard times and has come back to being the sweet loving guy he always was.

so at my school in one of the bio rooms
they have a 40 gal talk filled with plants and guppies maybe 30 or 40 of them
they have a SMALL filter compared top the size of the tank
and a medium size bubble disk on the bottom

what i want to know is how does it stay so clean?
even the water IN the tank SMELLS clean
oh also there is some kind of plants living on top of the water too
its covering most of the surface
i asked my teacher how often he feeds them and he says maybe once a week because they feed off the plants
and i guess its true because at least once a month
there are always babies

so question is
what plants will be good with what fish?
which ones will NOT ROT or have a good chance they wont
what plants will help clean the tank
and even possibly feed the fish

i have a 30 gallon tank so what and how many can i put in this?
thanks

So i am 13 and soon i will be 14. i will get a dog soon. i am in love with dobermans. i have one and he is the best dog ever. but since i already have one i would like a different breed. i live on a 5 acers and have a large fenced in feild that has a gate around it and 2 other dogs in it so the dog would need to be ok with other dogs. i love big dogs. i would prefer one with hair no longer then a german shepard. i would like it to be a little pertective. i would be able to get it out for about 2-3 hours a day and i know how to take care of dogs. i would like it to be a obeident dog because i would like to keep it off the leash at my house i dont have any little siblings and well if anyone has any suggestions on a breed please tell me.

Or something that handles fish in major public aquariums. I would like to either gather them from the ocean, study them personally, or care for them, or all three! I would also like to work at sea world, maybe be a trainer and feeder there. What kind of job is this? What kind of schooling am I looking at? What are some jobs for this? Please help. I am currently 15, and want to know everything I can about my future career. Where would I work? What do I need to do to prepare in high school? Thank you. I guess what I am looking for is a job where I can be working with and in and around marine life. I would love a job where I could be in an ocean.

I have heard alot of rumors about pet shops not being a safe place to purchase a pet. (namely, a dog). I have heard that they abuse the animals, and the constant contact with people makes the animals irritable, snippy and hyperactive or just the opposite.... fearful and timid.
Can anyone shed some light on the subject? Are these only myths, or do cases like these happen frequently?? If I decide to buy a puppy from the pet store in the mall, what would you suggest I do?

Mare was having thermometer into rectum for temperature check and when vet went back she could not find thermometer and said it probably fell out. It could not be found anywhere on the ground. Is it possible for thermometer to go further in and become stuck?

I have a 3 month old boxer, and I've decided to use a prong collar because he is pulling so hard on the leash that he is hurting himself. I just want to know is if you think he is to young. I will say that he is getting better at walking on a regular collar and leash, it's just when we get in an area that he is used to he justs starts pulling. I think its more of him being scared than anything. Suggestions please.

I have a very young chihuahua. She is full grown but her teeth aren't all the way in yet. I only know that not her exact age.

This is what is happening--She starts to make a really wheezy stressed breathing sound, her heart slows WAY own and her entire body goes limp just after shaking really bad. I live 72 miles from nearest vet and need some good advice. Could this be a seizure or a dream or what???
