my cat was outside. when we found him he was stuck in a tree. we got him out, but his front paws were bloody, because several of his claws fell off. we put cat bacitracin and peroxide on them, but he just licked it off. should we take him to the vet and if so, how soon? please help!

Its been 2 months now and theres no babies. bu when the fish goes up to eat she swims fine. and eats normally. I thought she was preg because theres a male and a female platys in the same tank. so whats wrong with her.

Has anyone read that the Rabies Vaccine is given too often by being given every year. Federal regulations only require it given once every three years. Anyone had any experiences with this?

I have cared for a stray cat who was pregnant. I allowed mother with newborns to stay inside. After 2 months, I put all cats outside. Shortly after I kept one of the kittens as a pet. The others were adopted and the mom became pregnant again. She is no longer fed and cared for by me. Still pregnant, whenever the mother comes near her kitten she hisses at her. Why is this?

I have a 29 gal aquarium. I would like to purchase a co2 injector and add some plants. My main purpose is to lower my pH (currently it is 8.4 with a Kh of 300+!) and to add interest to my aquarium. Currently I have 2 neon blue Gourami's, 6 bloodfin tetra, 1 spotted catfish and one striped rafael catfish. I want to lower the ph so I can have angelfish as well. Yes, I know the tetra may get eaten, but I want to give them plenty of hiding places before adding the angel fish. Currently I have epoxy coated rock at the bottom of my tank. I have read this is not a suitable substrate for aquarium plants. So how do I change the substrate on the aquarium without stressing the fish I own? Can I layer over the rock?

I own 7 month old pit and i love her to death she is the sweatest dog ive ever owned, i have owned several Labs in my life mostly and used them all for hunting purposes, but i have found that my pit may be more intelligent than any of my labs. She watches the labs and acts like them its the craziest thing ive ever seen, she wants to be a bird dog too. With all that said the question is

I understand the fighting purposes but why are people blaming the breed (not recognized by the AKC) not the owner and do you agree or disagree to the setiment that they are a inherit danger to societ

Our hexagonal tank is 60 litre and I got 2 discus for my birthday. At first they were lovely together and then the male is now chomping his way through the ladies fin. Just as I was looking at ways to resolve the situation this afternoon one of the 3 guppies had approx 30 babies!(typical) They also share with ottinculas - pygmy suckermouth x2.
Anyway what should I do? I am thining about getting a new tank say 60litres for the guppy family and selling the babies when they get big but the discus? Some websites say you need 6 discus some say 1 are ok. Others say a HUGE tank others say water quality is better than size,. I have taken out the overgrowing plants this afternoon and just wanna know what to do next. My water quality is perfect I just love these fish so much.
Thanks
James

Hi, i had three fish, two pinkish translucent ones, with whiskers, and 1 that looked something like this, http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilja/56015406/

then yesterday i bought two more fish, that looked like this
http://www.flickr.com/photos/paszczak000/529359848/
when i put them in, the orange one always chases them, are they fighting? having problems? or just playing...
and all of these fish dont require heater or filter...

ive posted a similar question, but didnt get answers that im looking for.

i have a doberman pinscher that is 1 year old. he is hyper, jumps around on furniture, and wants to play all the time with my other dogs, even at 1am. he also scrathes the doors all the time when he wants to go outside, or when he wants to be in a room by me, or if he wants to come in the house. he barks alot, at everything! he doesnt seem to listen, i tell him to lay down, he will for only a minute, but gets back up right away, hes always got to, or wants to go outside, (to potty, or just to pay outside) etc.

i am thinking about nuetering him, to try to calm him down, but is it worth registering him with the AKC if im going to nueter him???????

ive wanted to have a few litters of pups, before i nueter him, should i nueter him???????

if i excersized him alot.. will he be well behaved, or he just still in his puppy stage???

again, I KNOW most of u will give me an asnwer that i am NOT looking for,

If cats are free to roam like rats/mice, etc can I treat them as vermin and if they enter my garden, could i let my jack russell have a go?

I know if you hit one in a car you don't have to stop or report it, but you do if you hit a dog.

I am not Anti all cats, just the ones that people let roam and burry their poo under my plants and kill them. i just want to know if i will be in trouble with the fuzz if i let my dog attack a cat in my garden?

Im a delivery person. I deliver packages to peoples homes in rural areas. Most of these people have dogs for security. I was bitten by a dog today as I was walking away from a man whom I had just handed his package. Its not a terrible dog bite but the skin was broken. I dont need stitches or anything but I want to know for sure the dog doesnt have rabies. I thought asking the person whether or not the dog had already had its rabies shots was a good thing to do but thats naive. They all say "uh-huh" with that glazed look in their eyes. When I asked the male owner of the dog whether or not the dog had been given its shots he didnt even bother to ask me why I was asking or apologize for the dogs behavior. Im sure he seen the dog bite me. Anyway, I can live with the dog bite. I just dont want to die of rabies in a week. Should I report this to police? Is there a way to demand the owner provide proof of these shots through legal methods?
