Well, my husband and I do visit a nearby shelter whenever we can. It is clean and well run and is no-kill shelter yet most of their animals get good homes. They have a couple of 'old faithfuls' who...

I was feeling uptight until I viewed your video. Many thanks for sharing! Now I feel like singing and no one will sing with me. Used to have a cat that would sing any time I did. All we needed...

I have to agree with CassiesMom, not just on pit bulls (and, yes, I've known some good pitties) BUT one must be careful in adopting ANY dog from a shelter unless they know the truth about the dog's...

I lived on a farm and impetigo came in with a batch of new chicks we had ordered (or so it seemed). Several handlers, including me, got it. We treated the sores with ammoniated mercury 5% and they...

Thanks soooo much for sharing the link and info! I've been in paradise for the last several hours while I enjoyed the offerings (ALL of them...including the post win ones). My husband joined me in...

I admire your sensitivity to the suffering of the animals.

As you go through life, you may find that administering to the young, old, handicapped, frail, etc. of your own species who also suffer...

Mousie...er, Abigail, it takes guts to admit when you're wrong and learn from your mistakes.

I, too, had the 'pushed ahead in school syndrome' but it wasn't for an IQ thing...just my age/friends...

I can understand that sometimes it takes a bit of time before one is 'ready' for another pet but if you consider that your getting another pet (not a replacement as that places an unfair disadvantage...

I, too, think it is cruel and disgusting as it is done today but it originally started out, same as any rodeo contest, from the cowboys who followed cows into canyons and so on when rounding the cows...

So very sorry you lost your baby. As a Mom who has lost several, allow me to suggest you do your grieving now (including papa to be) instead of trying to distract yourself from the pre-occupying...

I just viewed and listened to the most eye-opening video I've seen in ages. It's about commercial dog food, even the most expensive and 'naturally good' ones...and the effect they have on your pet. ...

Sure glad I don't have your behinder problem but I sure do the other one.

Used to love the 'sleek' fit of things...until one day I saw a picture of me in one of my favorite outfits. I looked...

She rides the bus to go wherever? To my knowledge, buses usually do not allow pets on board unless they're handicapped assistants. How would she transport a sick animal to the vets, assuming she...

I would've smiled sweetly and said "Well, you'd know more about that than I do".

"Don't get mad, get even!" :D

How about an invitation to diabetes? Would be a more appropriate description.

If a person is an undiagnosed diabetic (majority of diabetics don't know they have it, especially type 2), it...

something they call Ich, sometimes spelled Ick. There are additives for their tank water that treats it if this is what it is. Various formulas are available at a good pet store. If I recall...

Have you had her checked for some less common forms of worms and other things like that? Not all worms show up in fecal cultures at all stages of their (worm) development.

Good luck!

Sounds like she may be constipated and, if she survived, here's how to prevent it happening again. Feed them some brine shrimp (fresh/frozen best) to prevent this. It's pretty rich food so don't...

I'm glad you've discovered the major problem. Often happens when plants are moved from nurseries and crowded together in the process.

Unless you take care you could have a bigger problem,...

Is it possible that she had a close call with a car or some abuser, if she was outdoors at any time unsupervised? Reason I ask is it would seem that this syndrome only occurs when she is inactive...
