Since I rescued this dog he has had hair problems. He was a rescue from a home where he sat in a pen with two other dogs for the last 4 years of his life. There is no door to the kennel the dogs never come out and people rarely come in. But the issue is he had matted hair all over him. He had to be completely shaved. And since then we realized he had little to no hair on his neck. Now it is spreading slowely. I took off his collar suspecting that may be doing it. But no luck. There is no rash, no itching, seems to be no problem. Except he is missing the hair. He is a small dog with suposed to be long black hair. He looks like a small chow but has many breeds within him. Also his hair on his neck has yet to grow back. So any suggestions? I dont want to take him to the vet since there is no real problem, I just dont want all his hair to fall out. Thanks, any home remedies for hair growth or possible diagnosis are welcome.

I want to know if im going to get in trouble fir driving my golf cart down my street.

My mother has recently started using this against me but my neighbor (who has been to juvie) said that she cannot legally do that. So does anyone know?

I got a goldfish for my friend and im keeping it for a few days before i give it to them. But when i got home it started acting funny. Just laying on the bottom of the tank i put it in. Last night it was alittle better most the time swimming in circles and was like this earlier today. But now hes just laying at the bottom. I figured that if i put him in the salt water tank i have with my other fish then he might get alittle perkier. But i wasent sure if the salt water would hurt him.

My sister has a turtle she got off the side off the road a few months ago and it has been doing fine. But sometimes itll stop eating for days at a time. Why would it do this and whats the best way to keep it eating.

Its a veryyyy tiny snapping turtle by the way

and she feeds it turtle pellets.

I have 2 girl and 2 boy molly fry and i recently noticed the boys trying to mate with the females (and each other) and i seperated them but is it possible that the girls can get pregnant so early. They are only about 2.5 months old.

They are marble molly fry

i was introducing my bettas the other night to see if they liked each other or anything because i was wanting to breed them...but i ahve a problem.... he started flaring up at her and even charged her once...why would he do that? is he just a grumpy old beta or does he really not like her?

i just wanna kno why he did that

I changed my frys water tank today but in doing so i forgot 1 very important thing..which is to put my drops int he water that get all the chlorine out. So i left them in it for about 20 minutes because thats when i noticed that they werent acting normal. So i finally realized what i did and put them in another bowl that had the drops in it. But now obviously there not doing so well. There kinda shaking and dont move very much. They are jsut sitting there shaking.....

i feel horrible

there only about 1 month old marble molly fry..

what are there chances for surviving

and wt can i do to help them out...

One of my fish has just had babies all were doing fine in the beginning. but as the night went on all of them slowly started dying. it only happens when this one fish has babies. I have fry from some of my other fish but it always happens. this is the third time its happened.

What could cause this?

By the way it is a dalmatian molly

One of them has been having mini seizures well idk wt it is but ever so often does this thing were he starts randomly like jumping like a seizure. I dont know what it is or what to do. I just hope he will be alright

what do u think it is

and wht could i do about it

my fish cant stay straight up.... every time he goes to swim he started flipping sideways.. i had one of my fry do this and it died i really dont want him to die he was my first fish and i really like him.... so i have done alittle research and i think it might be "swim bladder disease" or whatever... or constipation... but i dont know and i dont have anything else to feed them and the only store i have available is wal-mart and they dont have anything else i can feed him..

what should i do

and by the way it is a dalmatian molly if that helps

I cant take it to the vet my parents wont let me its to expensive. But im pretty sure my cat is infested with chiggers. Thousands of them. You mess with his shoulders and they seem to multiply. There little bugs and i think they are eating his hair (not relle but hes loosing hair everywere they spread) Right now there just on his shoulders. I think. How do i get rid of them. And if you dont think their chiggers what are they and how do i get rid of them.

Ok well to start off with yesterday was the first day we saw my cats babies and they are adorible but one of them (tye) has a problem. We live on the second floor of our apt's and he loves to sit on the raining. Then smartness brother of mine decides to try and grab it while its on it and BAM! it fell about 12 ft down on its shoulder. Poor thing couldnt even get up. but i picked it up and after about 2 or 3 minutes it was walking again. It never cried or anything. So do you think it will be ok. it wasent really acting right afterwards. It was a very hyper kitten now it dosent even bother to do anything.

Second question.

Do you think one of my other stray cats i have will hurt them? I have a problem because both hate each other and they both come to my door to eat. The other stray is much larger and older than my mom and i dont think it could ward off the other if it decided to attack. So far it dosent seem interested but will it maybe?

3rd question.

Is there any way a cat can get slits going down its ear while being a stray or should i assume that it was cut by scissors. The other stray my black cat has slits starting at the top of its ears and every little bit there is another one on both sides of the ear. So im guessing someone has cut its ears. The thing looks terrible enough but i just found the ear thing today.

So thats it for now i hope i gave enough info. Just ask if you need more and return later to see what i put.

Thanks and try to answer all of them or atleast put what number question it is.

I have recently made friends with a stray cat outside and for the first time it let me get close to it without me having to just sit and be quiet. Then i noticed something strange about her. Both of her front "thumbs" are horribly swollen and i dont know what to do about her. Im only 15 and i cant take her to the vet and my parents dont care. So if someone could look up what it might be and how to cure it that would be nice. I have tried and found nothing helpful.

To help your search heres everything useful i know..

She is very underweight

Her cheeks are alittle swollen as well

Her feet and especially thumbs are horribly swollen

she dosent seem to be in pain no limping or anything

she lays down alot though as if she cant walk long distances without being to tired or maybe she is in pain but isnt limping

She only gets fed once a day when i feed her otherwise its dumpster diving for her

I just looked in my tank and i only saw 1 fry. I have 3. Then when i started moving around the water i say that one was laying motionless. he is now swimming alittle but he looks like his back is messed up. Its kinda crooked. Then my most healthy one(the fat one) keeps trying to swim but either sways back and fourth or flips on his back. He looks like hes trying to fight it but he cant. Its like he has air in his stomach kinda and keeps turning on his stomach. Now i know that hes not like dying. So dont say that. But i dont know what could be causeing this please tell me whats wrong with them and how to fix it.

Ok well my black molly has had 2 "batches" of fry. One of which was born last night.

The first one:

13 fry

all but 3 were still borns

2 more died withen an hour

The last one didnt make it through the night

This time:

7 fry

All but 4 were still born or half eaten

1 died last night

1 i just found dead

the last 2 sit on the bottom and swim a little bit but they never go off the bottom.

Do you think my fry will live?

What is wrong with my fish?

Are some fish just not good with having fry?

Why would all the fry die both times?

By the way so you dont frame me...

I have had other "batches" of fry that have lived perfectly fine i have 5 others from a different fish that are all fine right now.

Please try and refrain from rude comments

So i have this friend suposibly my best friend. But she said something to me today that mad me really mad.

But heres the story first. :}

Ok well iv had my personal problems as well as normal people do. And i havent been the happiest person lately. And along with the personal issues i have my friends that dont help at all. So i just failed this math test today because my so called friends were supose to help me with the stuff and i was depending on them fully but no they leave me right after telling me to come on so we can get started to go worry about a boy. (no offense to guys)

But this really made me mad and i wound up getting a 0 on the test!. So like any other person hopefully i was veryyyy angry.

But they apologized and i said ok. But it didnt make me any less mad.

So i get on the bus and one of my friends has the nerve to tell me that she is TIRED of me being sad lately.

She wasent being caring or anything about it. Just rude and heartless.

This is supose to be my bestfriend. But the worst part is that she has these random mood swings ALL THE TIME. And im forced to always get over it. I never complain. But for 2 days im sad

(usually im a very happy person) and she throws a fit.

So what would you do with your friend if they told you that they were "tired of you always being so sad" after they have the most random mood swings in the world?

What should i say back to her?

I have asked this before and only got 1 response so plz respond this time :}

I have 2 that seem like they might have their babies soon but im not sure iv only had them give birth twice and one i didnt even know was prego. So my marble molly has been prego for about a month this week. She dosent look to fat and is still as hyper as normal. But she has a few of the signs that she is about to have them. My other molly is a black molly and i have no idea how long shes been prego she never gets any fatter and last time she had 13 and never got any smaller after that but it could be up to about 2 months that i think she has been prego. But im not even positively sure she is. But she has red poop like the marble molly and has been laying at the bottom of the tank alot lately. So im guessing she is. So i have these pics i took of them today i know the marble molly ones arnt the best but she wont stop moving.

So do you think the black molly looks prego and when do you think they will have their babies.

Im not looking for absolutely right answers i just want some estimates. I love fry and i want them to live.

I have fed my 2 ADF the same food for a year and a half now but i am just now starting to get a problem. One of them (moe) is not eating and is getting dangerously skinny. While (minni) my other is chubby. I dont get his problem. I even drop the food right in front of his face and he acts like nothing has happened. Maybe hes blind? I dont know how that would happen. But i need some suggestions on how to get him to start eating again.

Thanks

What are the best signs that a molly is about to have her babies. I have two that are going to have them very soon and i would like to be prepared. I like to keep all the babies and i dont like knowing that some of them have been killed. I dont have any divider things and im not going to go buy them so i have just removed my male from the tank so that there is one less head trying to eat my fry. So now its just my two female mollies.

But to get back to the main topic

what are the best signs that they are going to give birth soon.
