I have an almost 2 yr old red nose pitbull mixed with boxer and lab (possibly?) who is the sweetest, most playful thing you ever met. My wife and I take turns playing with her twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening after we get off work. We have to play with her like that becaus...

My next door neighbor lives alone and I would guess that she is in about her mid to late 60's. She has a husky who is 13 years old. As of about 2 weeks ago, it came to my attention that her dog has suddenly become aggressive. She claims that the dog has recently acquired arthritis, yet she con...

My cat is probably around 25 years old. She still has decent vision, hearing, jumps up onto my chair, no apparent arthritis or any other health issues. The vet said she's fine. The only odd thing is here eyes are always dilated. My apartment tends to be dark, but even if I take her outside dur...

Obviously we don't want to cut her in half to count tree rings! But a core sample would be the exactly the thing to do, if she were a tree. My best estimate for this cat's age is 25. She was found as a stray by a kid who is now doing well in business over two decades later. There is no origina...

Please help. I've been caring for outside cat for about year now. Took several months for him to trust me he still doesn't completely trust my boyfriend. He comes around when I call or is outside waiting on me every morning. He loves to be pet but I have four inside cats and he also has no intere...

About a month ago I adopted a bird. Her previous owners didn't feed her anything besides pellets and the occasional bit of meat (which I personally don't want to feed her since meat these days is full of hormones). I have been able to feed her bits of fruit & sunflower seeds from my hands, but ...

could someone suggest the best substrate for my turtle tank. I'm planning to have a medium sized gravel so turtles can't swallow them. Any suggestions or recommendations are really helpful to me.
