I know this is an opinon question but i'm thinking of a dog that's NOT a small little one but one that'll enjoy sporting and running with me, playing, and won't make crazy noise. Also one that dosen't have many health issues.

I have 2 aquatic turtles, one of them is doing fine. The other is having shell problems. The lower half of his shell seems a little warped, and there are two spots that rotting away. I have a UV light and I feed him a good diet. One thing i've noticed is that he never basks. The other turtle will all the time, but i have never seen the one with the rott get out of the water. I even put an extra rock which really makes it easy but he still wont bask. Yesterday I dropped the water level in the tank down to next to nothing so that he would be forced to bask under the light, and let his shell dry out the spots seem a little better. Is there anything else I can do.

Ok, so I want to start a 100% live planted tank, but I am a little confused as to where to start. Here is my plan and let me know what you think (those of you that have planted aquariums). I also have a few questions.

Ok, I am setting up my 30 gallon aquarium. I have a powerfilter, an undergravel filter with a power head that will run on one side only, Two 15W flourescent bulbs, small-pebbled sized gravel, some driftwood, and the other usual items. I want to possibly buy some Laterite to put below my gravel. I want to make a homemade CO2 injector with a 2 liter pop bottle, connected to an airstone that goes directly into my power filter intake. And that is that... Let me know what will work, what won't and what suggestions you have or any personal experiences you have.

I would also like to know:

1) Does Laterite need to be replaced periodically?

2) How essential are trace nutrients for plants? If so, what nutrients do I need? (the amount available is staggering)

3) How essential is a method of measuring my CO2? Can I just sort of wing it with my home made system without worrying about having too much CO2?

4) I have heard that the undergravel is not the greatest choice for plants... should I just remove the power head and keep the grates, remove the whole undergravel system, or does it even matter?

Thanks so much in advance, I look forward to hearing some great info!!

My dog is chewing herself raw. She is not old, and has no health conditions, and we've had her for a long while so I don't think it's because she is nervous. We haven't changed her diet, or her schedule. Nothing has been changed, but she has just suddenly started chewing on her front right paw just below the knee to the point that she is biting off the skin and bleeding.

Help is much appreciated!

How good are the remote dog collars, training collars???? I have a boxer that I would love to turn loose to run but he has a listening problem sometimes, and he jumps on people (typical boxer , you meet the front feet first flying like a wild man)... I want to get him a control collar (like an invisible fence collar but with a remote control) do they really work???? And if so what brand is the best?

I used to volunteer at a local humane society when I was in high school, and I have adopted animals from them. I was looking into a possible job at a Humane Society in my area. I want to help homeless animals. I love caring for them and finding them a good home. But I have heard some people say they don't like the HSUS. I'm not going to argue with anyone, I just want some facts about them before I actually apply for a job. I don't want to work for an organization that is untrustworthy.

He acts like he's afraid of it, it's just bananas, blueberries, chex, and some chicken. He won't go near it even though I showed him it was harmless. He only eats it when i stick his beak in it, i'm so confused??

My 2/3 yo Pedigree Rottweiler ( uncastrated) about has just started bleeding few drops from his penis. Otherwise he seems bit lathargic, has had running nose last day, his nose warmer than usual.. took him out earlier for walk and wasnt as bouncy as he normally is but think it is as he is tired. He weighs between 60-70kg and is fed around 700 g of dry food per day. He is kept indoors with me. Only had him just over a week. The previous owner promised me he had no health problems and had all vaccinations/wormed up to date but has yet to send the papers to me. Really concerned for his welfare. Any advise would be greatly valued. Kind regards. Alicia

I took my dog to the vet and spent the last of my savings and the vet can't tell me what is wrong unless I do more tests. She had been drinking and peeing more than usual and wanting to eat constantly. My vet said her blood sugar was normal but I'm wondering if he just made a mistake. Does anyone know other diseases that make a dog do the same things? I am going to take her to another vet as soon as I get some more money saved up in a month but I am worried. She acts normal other than this. I feed her a really good dry food (California Natural) mixed with cooked chicken or beef.

My dog is 3 years old (old enough to know not to go potty in the house, I'd say!), and still goes potty in the house! He goes to the bathroom outside, but also inside sometimes. We can't get a doggie door, because our cats will get out. And we can't get a crate because he's a really big dog and needs room to move around. I don't know what to do! I can't tell when he has to go out, because often he just wants to go play. He never used to do this. Why did he start now?
