I rescued a kitten in the begining of October. I think he is about 12 weeks old now. When I got him he had medium length fur. Now the fur on his spine is REALLY long but everywhere else its short. Could his fur stay like this or will it even out?? Oh he was all black when I got him. Now his...

The new mum, Phoebe, who has just had four pups, is pulling fur from her paws. I'm worried that because the woman I got her from has now bred her (3 times in a year, that we know of) that she's become stressed. Of course I won't breed her at all, I never planned to, and learning that she's now...

Hi guys For a while now I've noticed my 4 degus have copper/orange coloured patches. Is this normal?? ..MK-3..

Her ankle/foot is black instead of grayish/silver, and in some spots it's completely bare! does anyone know how this has happened?

First off, hello! Long time no see! I usually only come on these forums when something is wrong, and it's been a while since I've been on (yah!). But now of course, something is bothering me. I left for about two weeks and my sister took care of my dearest Ruby. She followed all instructions I...

Well, It's Noah's first spring and his first official shed of his "Winter Action Coat". It hasn't started falling off in clumps or anything but you can see fly aways as he runs and I've started daily brushing with a rake and the flat shedding tool to keep it at a minimum. Any suggestions on...

I have been thinking about this but I am in two minds about it, id burn it because fur is wrong but id want to give it away, animals have died to make it so it would be wrong to waste it but I wouldnt want it in my house. What are your opinions?

Hey! My Chinese hamster had a litter of 7 babies 22 days ago and I am concerned about the runt. I have her seperated with her sisters, who are healthy and happy. Bella (the runt) seems healthy, too, but her fur is very thin compared to her siblings. I am holding her right now and she is very...

I warn you, it's a long post. If you don't want to read all of it here's the shortened version: 1. Nino grabs onto something with her teeth (newspaper, plastic bag), shakes her head crazily and refuses to let go. 2. She pulls her own fur out with her own teeths. 3. My sister also has a...

Hello everybody, We have just noticed that our rabbit Mitsy has a small amount of fur that falls out with no effort (i.e when being petted). Upon closer inspection, this fallen fur appeared to have dandruff on it. We then parted his fur to find this: (sorry for grossness) This is going all...

I had a neighbor kid hanging around, and he was petting Parker, my cat. He had a drink in his hand and it spilled on the floor and partly on the cat, too. I wasn't that upset with him about it. He and I cleaned the mess. The cat seemed fine, but I noticed that he developed some mats. I cut...
