So my cat decided to take a chomp out of some pine needles and it didn't yield good results so I'm a bit worried about my kittens.

I have a 10 year old cat and I am realizing I probably should have got insurance for her years ago but want to look into it now and am not sure where to begin. Does anyone know the best place to get pet insurance and if they will insure an older pet? I want to be sure to give her the best care possible as she gets older but being on a bit of a budget I am not sure how to approach this. Advice is greatly appreciated!

I am giving her pedyalite since she won't eat and has a bad running nose. Also she seems to have fever and her eyes are so watery. Any suggestions?

I have a Bichon frise and she had a litter of puppies 3 weeks ago. This morning, she starts crying and staying in weird places for longer periods, like under my desk. Right now, she's with her pups but she shivers and her eyes are squinting. What could be the problem here?
Another thing is that all of her breasts have swelled down except for one, it's like she has a ball in there. Is that normal?
I was thinking that she was cold because of her shivering, but her eyes are squinting... I've never seen her do that except while she's panting after a long walk. But she didn't do any vigorous activities.

I'm doing a animal testing research paper and I need some statistics. Tell me what you think of it. Say good or bad with a reasonable why, not like "mean", but like "animals react differently". Thanks!

I have young children, a smallish yard only a 5' fence, I like to jog (or rather am trying to get back in the habit) We live near a large dog friendly park. We need a medium size dog that is great with all kids, other dogs, preferably one that can be trusted off leash. I can't chase kids as well if I'm always holding the leash. Needs to be able to withstand colder temperatures, will be an outside dog, with indoor visits, full access to garage. I'd prefer a low maintainance hair style dog, I already have more than enough hair between myself and my kids! We are in a subdivision so a breed that isn't a constant howler/barker is a must, I don't want to tick off any neighbors. Any suggestions? We've considered Britany Spaniels, Border Collies, Beagles & other medium hounds are attractive, except for that whole catch a scent and howl issue. Okay, so now everyone either astound me with the perfect dog suggestions or if my dream dog doesn't exist, feel free to break my heart :) thanks

I work in a retail shop. Everytime I walk pass this toy parrot it always says "Hello". So I wonder do real parrots say "hello" in different languages in othe countries.

I adopted my new whippet from the shelter about 8 months ago. He is my first dog ever! He is on heart worm medication. He is 23 pounds. I feed him 5 (five) cups of Innova a day but I can still see his ribs, hip bones and spine. Is this just how whippets are supposed to be? I'm tired of people on the street telling me how bony and ugly he is!

She will just be laying down and she will lick herself....in her "private" area.

Why would she do this?

Ok so I've taken out 4 goldfish, 1 regular catfish and 2 snails and unfortunately walmart won't take them back unless they're dead :( so I have them in a separate tank until I find a new owner. I'll look around for a good home and hopefully they'll be ok. So now all I have are 3 lyrefish and 2 upside down catfish in a 10 gallon tank and everyone has survived for three days. I added a friend's old mature filter to the tank so speed up the nitrogen cycle. Now i have another problem...dun-dun dunnn!

TAILROT

I've read that lyrefish will do ok in brakish or somewhat salty water. What about catfish? Should I put 2 tblsp. of salt?

My dog is dying from liver failure. He is 10 years old but that is young for a rat terrier to go. He was poisoned by drinking out of a rain puddle in a drainage ditch that some one poured some kind of freon or anti freeze or something out in the same area. We were going to have him put to sleep today, but I could not do it because he seems to be having a good day today. I know I need to before he starts getting worse. Do I do it before or after Christmas ? If I wait tell after he may be in pain. Right now the vet said he is not in a lot of pain. I do not know what to do. It will be hard. I would love to wait tell after, but I do not want him to suffer.

I lost my Dalmatian to cancer 3 years ago and I've been thinking about a new dog. I like a medium to large dog but a friendly dog, since I have a 20 month old granddaughter. It can be an indoor outdoor dog. I like the golden retrievers and the chocolate labs, which dog is the friendliest (but good gaurd dog) and easiest to train?
