My cats are flealess, but on occasion they'll bring in a flea. Fleas find me in the car, my clothes, in hotels, in the grass, AT WORK!!!!
When I get one flea on me it bites me like 4-5 times then hides somewhere until its hungary again.
Its not like I can used Advandage or Frontline!!!!!
What the hell am I suppose to do!!!?????????

He was sadly neglected before I got him, and I have never had one before and would be grateful for any advice you can give.

He is in a cage with a running wheel, and he has a water bottle, a feeding bowl (i give him hamster food - is that ok?) and he has a little toilet too. I also put the cardboard tube from toilet roll in there, he seems to enjoy running through it. I change his bedding and sawdust and toilet once a week. Is that enough? I add a handful of food to his bowl each day, is that too much? And how often should I change his water?

I just want to look after him, and give him a happy life. Speaking of which, I understand mice live to about 2 years old. Is there a way of telling how old he is? He's not a tiny mouse??

Thank you

I am a proud loving single owner of a 2.5 year old boy cat. He is not neutered or de-clawed (I consider both to be hurtful to the animal), exclusively indoor cat with lots of toys and attention given to him. Last friday I came home around 11: he ran towards the door to greet me, as per our normal routine, meowed to say hello and lay down for me to pet him.....and when I reached down to touch his head he lunged at my arm digging in all claws and teeth .... The whole incident lasted no more then 20 seconds, but I am hurt pretty bad (actualy chunks of flesh missing from my wrist) and utterly confused about his reasons for acting this way. Normally, he is a very loving, very very affectionate cat. I am pretty shaken up by the incident and have not been able to be in the same room as the cat since this happened.
What rational reasons would a family pet have to behave this way?
What is an appropriate punishment for this behavior? How do I correct this situation so it will not happen again?

I'd like to administer my own vaccines and medications for my pets. I have a lot of animals and they all need visits to the vet but I have too many animals really to run them back and forth. It would be much easier to just do it all myself. I know where to buy the medications and such I just would like some more information or websites that may help guide me in this process.

I am thinking about getting another guinea pig to keep my other one company..... I have had the one for about a year-and-a-half.... and I want to go buy another one..... would the older one hurt the baby..... I called the pet shop and asked about breeding but thats not what I am getting one for..... its kinda confusing..... cause at first I wanted babies...they said the male should be about a year or older...... so I guess I have TWO QUESTIONS....lol NUMBER ONE...... would it be ok to put a (younger male) guinea pig in with my (older male) guinea pig.... and NUMBER TWO... if I decide to get a female..... how old should she be!??!?!
Best answer gets voted BEST ANSWER...so yeah

I 've notice people placing their animals, cats and dogs in the passenger seat with air bags.I don't think it is safe if it should deploy, like in a accident. What do you all think on this subject?
Thank you for your input on this matter.

Two of my dogs ate Tomcat rat posion on Friday afternoon. The dogs are a min pin that weighs about 12-15lbs and a italian greyhound that weighs about 7lbs. I was cleaning out a cabinet and the posion was in the very back of it. They must have gotten in out when I turned my back- they are very quick. It was not a whole block- one of the corners was gone off of it and the two of them ate the one block. I called the vet right away and they told us to do the whole peroxide to make them vomit thing but they never did. So we jumped in the car to go to the vet and get another box of the exact posion to take with us as we had no more at the house. I called the 800 number on the back of the box for Bell Labs. They asked lots of questions about the type of dogs, weight, health of dog and the amout they ate. In the end he told me that the min pin could eat 4.5 cubes and the ig could eat 3 cubes b/4 it would be a toxic dose. He said they would be fine b/c neither one ate a whole cube.

I'm trying to get some information on these two breeds. Are they the same, or are they different? Also, I'm under the impression that these breeds are gaited. Does either breed actually canter? Or is this breed similar to the Tennessee Walker in that it can canter, but most breeders and trainers do not canter the horse because it can cause pacey-ness? I'd love any information...

I have a Stallion that has ALWAYS been fine out in the pasture with cows. All of a sudden one day I see him bullying, chasing and (if caught) grabbing them with his mouth on the back of their neck and he will bring them down to the ground. He even gets down on his knees to bring them down. He NEVER did this before and I haven't a clue what caused him to snap. When we finally caught him, he acted as if nothing happened. He was calm cool, and collected. Albeit it took us 2 hours to catch him. Any ideas?

My husband and I just bought two blue rats- which we already love. We are getting them familiar with us and we were wondering what kind of tricks can rats learn and how can we start training them to do these things???
Any ideas and thoughts would be awesome, thanks to all!
