he used to eat them but now starts to look interested but then won't eat it. We bought a pack of frozen mice...how long do they stay good in the freezer? I really don't want to have to feed him live mice!

Thank you to those that have answered thus far. My cat is about 1 1/2 years old so i don't think it's old age setting in. I live alone and there is no abuse. In fact, she has a wonderful life (i think). She has a few beds, i buy her toys, top of the line cat food and i am very gentle with her. Every day i giver her a fresh bowl of food and water. I clean her litter box often and i have 2 fish tanks which she use to love to sit on the couch or bed and watch them swim. Fortunately she didn't try to get them/ She just liked watching them. She is always purring and isn't scared of me.

Her bizarre behavior began a few weeks ago. Since the behavior has changed so dramatically, i became worried. That is why i've taken her to the vet twice. She had always been friendly, jumping on the furniture, cabinets, counter etc. and now she just hides. I really think she fell because she is scared to go on the bed, couch etc.

Sometimes when im outside with my dog and she's tried out from chasing things [sticks, balls, etc] she lays down belly up by my feet.

I sit next to her & massage the pads on her paws. She'll lay through it, but does it feel good to them?

Or is she just laying down tired. Im thinking she really does enjoy it because she'll lay there & fall asleep.

I recieved a cat condo from an unknown source that had a cat. I want to be sure it is not harboring fleas before I bring it in.. Other than spraying it with a flea /tick spray, will leaving it in my garage where it is below freezing (Minnesota winter) help kill any chance of fleas? If so.. how LONG would I need to leave the thing in freezing temps to be sure?

We were given a kitten about 4 months ago and because he was so young we had to bottle feed him for about 4 weeks. Now he is a few months older, very healthy, eats good, etc but he is crazy! We have a bottle filled with water but regardless of how many times we spray him he will not stay off the counters. He get into everything and now he is confined to the bedroom simply because we can not keep track of what he is doing because he moves so fast, lol. We have 3 dogs and Sebastian (the kitten) gets along with the dogs really well so we're not sure what the problem is. Both my spouse and I have had cats in the past and we have never run into a wild kitten. Sebastain has every climbing toy that has been created, his own space to play in and a ton of toys so believe me he is entertained 24/7. We have to crate him at night because we can not allow him to run loose as we are afraid of what the results would be. Serious answers only please and Thank you!!

My niece bred her female Yorkshire Terrier with a male Silky Terrier. Both dogs have papers, but she understands that she cannot command top dollar with the mix. Any idea what she can expect? What price range she can ask for/expect for the puppies?
Obviously not a professional breeder, she'll be selling the puppies from her New Haven County, CT home. Thank you!

We are visiting California for Christmas and our golden retriever got into a fight with our grandmas dog.She tried to break it up and put her leg in between them and got bit by our dog. She had to go to the hospital because she takes asprin and the bite was severely bleeding. Animal control came and got our dog. She was put into quarantine because we had a friend give our dog her shots under the table at her house. She is a vetrinarians assistant and we live in a very small town and so we don't have any proof shes had the rabies vaccination. so they said she had to be quarantined for 10 days. Now we have to pay 25 dollars a day for her being there and we have a fine for not having her rabies shot. But here's what doesn't make sense. They want to ticket us for not having her spayed which is a requirement here but not in Montana and thats another $500 dollar ticket! Why should we pay that ticket when our state does not have that requirement? We are no residents. Shouldn't we be exempt?

killed like it was or tranquilized? I wish they would've killed it with grenades and shotguns instead of revolvers. And the animal rights whackos are saying, why didn't you tranquilize the cat? Because it had killed one guy, mauled 2 others, was standing by an alive victim, then mauled him again as the cops approached, and then the cat ran towards the officers. And they ask why did the cops kill the cat? Animal rights whackos are just that, WHACKOS. You agree?

I had a friend call me tonight and ask for my advice on separating a fight...well fortunately we have never had an issue with our dogs fighting..they are all very well trained and know what is accepted..so I do not have much experience in this area....
My main concern was my friend getting hurt trying to stop the fight... He was home alone when it broke out and would pull one off and the other would jump back into the fight. I guess after about 20 minutes of fighting a friend showed up..rushed in and startled the dogs enough to get them apart....
The only advice I could give is to throw an ice cold bucket of water on the dogs... I told him it is foolish of him to think he can separate two 100lb plus dogs without suffering an injury himself

what techniques have you used?

Well, my friend brought his 3 month old shih tzu (female) over. She is not spayed yet but since she is a female should she be "humping" other animals? She got on top of my cat when he was laying down and really started humping him.

Ok. My dog muffin is about a year old and she was perfectly fine when she was younger and soon she had to get fixed but she had her period and I guess we couldn't get her fixed and then she got tape worm. After that she got fleas and I washed her and did what i could hopefully got rid of it. Soon after that she began to scratch very hard near her butt and lost hair on her tail near the top and on the side of her back legs not very much hair. I changed her food a couple times and then changed it agian and she is growing back some of the hair but still bites herself, is it dry skin, mites, or still fleas ? What should I do? PLS help!

I have a young bearded dragon. When I got him, he was eating a lot. I have been feeding him small crickets, small-medium mealworms, and kale. There isn't any sand in his tank, just paper towels, but at the pet store they had repti-sand or something like that. At first, he stopped eating mealworms and now he won't eat crickets. I don't know what to do. Are there any home remedies or anything? I already spent a lot of money in vet bills on my tortoise that wouldn't eat, so I can't afford to take this one to the vet. Any suggestions would be great.
