Horse Freak!

I'm 18 and have loved animals all my life.I'm thinking about becoming a vet assistant, I have tried looking up as much information as possible but I wanted to know for those who are a vet assistant what is the job like? What do you do? How much do you get paid? Do you think online college courses would help? Is there any online certification I can do? If you have anything else helpful or websites that you know of please feel free to add it. Thank you!

I'm 17 and I think I might have ADD/ADHD..but I don't really know a good way to tell my mom..I have not been to a doctor to be properly diagnosed but she told me once that a teacher called telling her to put me on ADD drugs cause I coulnd't focus. I just haven't told her yet because I don't know what she would say or if she would even believe me. I took some online tests and I have almost all symptoms of it..any help would be great thanks.

I have a Siamese, she is almost a year old, I adopted her in October of 2009 when she was about 6-7 weeks old. Ever since then she has been very shy and scared of everyone, I try to feed her treats to make her trust me a little bit more but it doesn't seem to be helping. She won't play with any toys, so playing with her is difficult. I have 2 other cats and she plays with them( 3 years old and a kitten)..she will however let me hold her and cuddle her and she will pur. But any other time she won't come up to anyone and runs and hides. Is there anything I can do that will let her trust me and come out of her shell?

ok, so basically im ALWAYS cold no matter what, i don't live in a cold environment and im forever wearing long pants, long sleeves, and socks, and a heavy jacket in the house(i also usually carry a blanket around sometimes because i think its cold).. the room temperature is usually around 71 F. And even at night i get so cold i wear a big jacket to bed. I don't know if it is just the way i am or if its some disease.. im just kinda confused, my parents and sisters aren't that way, (im also very skinny so im not sure if it is because of lack of fat on my body).. Thank You :)

I'm getting fire bellied toads soon, and I recently read that they need heating light. I have a 10 gallon tank kit that i got for fish but i decided to go with toads instead, it is a tank hood and it has 2 bulbs in it that say "lamp rated 25 watts max... would the toads be ok or do i need to buy a different source or light? Thank You! :)

i have all the normal stuff for fish but do betta fish need a filter and heater? the normal temerature (without heater) 78-84 F.

i have a 10 gallon aquarium with gravel, lots of plants, decor, food ,etc.

i was looking for stocking ideas and i saw an article on a website and one of the ideas was 4 female bettas.. would this work? p.s. i have a 10 gallon aquarium with proper gravel, plants and hiding places, food, etc. .. if it cant work then can anyone give me some good stocking ideas..

ok my tank has been cycling and i tested it today and it read

Nitrate-0

Nitrite-0

Hardness-0

Chlorine-0

Alkalinity- 40 (low)

Ph- 6.8 (Neutral)

if it helps my testing kit is called Quick Dip in one strip by Jungle

* Currently i have no fish in my aquarium*

any other facts/ tips/ or info would be great :) thanks

ok so i am either wanting a fire bellied toad or an american green tree frog. Which one do you personally like better and why( for owners who have had either one or both). I have done my research on both and have the money for either. I just want to know other peoples review on

them .

Thank You :)

ok so i have a 5 year male chihuahua and i noticed lately his ear has been flopped over. Today i got a closer look at it and it is swollen. I touched it by accident and he yelped. I did a little research and i saw something that sounded like my dogs case called "Hematoma" What should i do? Does my dog need surgery? Please help as i do not want to give him away. Thank you

ok so i have a 5 year old chihuahua (male and neutered) but ever since my sister got a new puppy about 2 months ago he has been marking his territory on our bed spreads . and then we have to continually wash them..so is there any way to stop this.Thank You

p.s. the puppy is a chihuahua female

ok so i am going to be getting fire bellied toads in a couple months but i have to do my research so i was wondering what kind of lighting they need i have a 10 gallon tank and it came with the hood and lighting . the bulbs say 25 watts but i am not sure what kind.

http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productI...

is that the kind of lighting i need?

i have a 10 gallon tank , lighting, gravel (going to by moss) , temperature strip but it was for fish so i am not sure if it will do the same for the frog, going to buy some hiding spots ,and food. is there any thing else i might need? Please help thank you

ok so i know that you have to have 2-4 inches of water and one third of land but what can i use as land ? i have fish pebbles but i don't think i should use that as it may harm the frogs. So then what do i use and what fake plants should i use ? i have a 10 gallon aquarium that i am setting up right now. any advice and comments would be helpful thank you.

ok so i am sort of new in owning toads(haven't gotten them yet) i have a couple of stuff for the toads but not sure what else they might need

i already have a 10 gallon aquarium kit (originally for fish but changed my mind) lighting , fish filter, gravel. is there anything else besides food and hiding spots ..please help i am wanting to breed them.. also when the tadpoles are born can i put them in a 5 1/2 gallon aquarium?

links would help. how do i declorinate the water for the toads?

i have been doing a fishless cycling since january 2nd and my water is clean but my alkalinity is high and i cant bring it down...but after i get my alkalinity down when can i start putting in fish (i will be putting in guppies)

ok so i looked at my 10 gallon aquarium today which has been cycling since january 2nd and everything is good except my alkalinity is super high and i can't get it down. i have 2 questions though

1--what is the white stuff on my gravel and my decor and i am not sure what it is or what to do

2--how do bring my alkalinity to a safe zone (where do i buy peat moss or driftwood)

i would put an algae eater or a snail but i am afraid they will be killed by the alkalinity

ok so i set up my aquarium a week ago and it is doing marvelous only thing is that my alkalinity is still high and i can't seem to make it go down. I went to Petsmart today and tried looking for Peat moss or driftwood or something to make the alkalinity lower but i couldn't find anything ( it is currently over 300ppm)...but if i ignore it and put fish in will it kill them or harm then an any way?

ok so i set up my aquarium on january 2nd and it is going really well. But i tested my water today and it showed that my alkalinity was300ppm high and that my pH was alkaline so i put some pH stuff in(proper pH 7.0) But how do i make the alkalinity go down to were it is supposed to be?

ok so i am going to have a breeding aquarium and i have everything i need. The only problem is that i do not know much on cycling( not a first time fish owner) i have clear ammonia and conditioners and ph leveler but how do i cycle my tank this way? And is there anything else i should know?
