I am about to start my fishless cycle and I got some ammonium. It is clear ammonia with ammonia hydroxide and surfactant. What is surfactant? Is it okay to use this ammonia for the cycle, or will surfactant be harmful?

I have always heard that it is dangerous to do so, because the mother will be too over protective and she might bite you. True? Not true?

I surprisingly worked with dogs for a long time and knew a lot about feeding etc.
I have a basset/daschund/lab mix. Hes about 33 lbs.
Hes 12 years old and we feed him once a day, 2 cups of dry food and 1 package of the Moist & Meaty stuff.
Is that okay?
Everyone says hes old and we should feed him, but I dont want him to get too fat with his little tiny legs haha.

His appetite has increased dramatically over the last month and he does not appear to be gaining any weight (it is scary). All his other habits appear normal. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks, Dee

The last few days, he's been eating everything he can (wrappers, attacking my packets of gum...anything).

But this morning, he was curled up in a corner. He walked a few steps and it was almost like watching stop-motion photography. Particularly in his hind legs, which are very weak and bent and stiff-ish.

The crack is less than an inch long and has been there for about a month now. I didn't think it was a big deal but now it is turning red! Is it infected or something? Should I take him in to a vet? I don't know what to do and I am getting worried! Please help me and my turtle! Thanks!

I recently got a siamese kitten from a breeder that had him on mostly Friskies wet food and dry food.

I've been weaning him off it and giving him Purina kitten dry chow most of the day and mixing a little of the wetfood with it at night, so his tummy is upset and he's been havng diarrhea.
She gave him his last wormer before we took him home, but I think it's from the food change not the wormer.

What dry food is best for sensitive kitten tummies?

Later on, I want to show my Shih Tzu, she's far from ready now, I've been researching her standards, though and they said that the Shih Tzu must be no less than 9lbs and no more than 16 lbs.

My Shih Tzu is 10 months old, and 6 lbs. The vet said that this would be the biggest she would ever grow. The vet said for her size, that's what she's supposed to weigh.

Does this mean that I cannot show her?

What age do you think I should start obedience training my pup [sit, lay down, stay, come]? I've already started "manners" [no bite, no jump, etc.].

And how do you suggest to train a puppy not to nip. I have been saying no bite whenever she nips at me or whoever else. She seems to be pretty much ignoring it. I've also tried yelping, it works sometimes. And what should I do after? Ignore her?

My cat has an area on her back just in front of her tail that she has been biting and trying to scratch so much that the skin in that area is scabbing and she's losing the hair there. I'm going to take her to the vet but I won't be able to go until next week. Does anyone know what could be causing this? It is localized specifically to that area and the area on the underside of her tail just above her rear end.

Why do people get offended when you ask questions meant to get people to think? Why would people file a violation when you asking about tubing & AI & MATCHING?" Why is the subject of selective breeding and culling a litter or a part of a litter such taboo?
Why would puppymiller and BYB's take offense to being called out for what they are?
And really, what would be the issue with asking, "Which end bites???" When you are just trying to make a point about how little people seem to know about dogs?

Anyone want to fill me in?
