I was brushing my dog yesterday and I noticed as soon as I hit the spot about six inches above her tail on her back she went nuts! She started kicking her legs like crazy. I kept brushing her...

Thanks for all the great advice. Izzy's (the cat) home is in one of our buildings. Although the building is not heated it is well protected from wind. I have a wooden crate filled with cedar chips...

We don't know yet if the cat is male or female. It has long hair and is very fluffy so we can't see. We didn't want to disturb the cat too much at this point. I am guessing that since we can't see -...

I live on a farm and for the past week we have had a stray cat hanging around. It got really cold last week (-30!) so the cat has been living in one of our steel buildings. I noticed it is VERY...

We tried the saran wrap and that made no difference. I have had lots of suggestions from people on what to try and nothing has work. We recently tried taping all of our drains (sink/shower etc etc)....

The holes are about 5/16"

I think you are both right that it is pulling the gas smell into the laundry room from somewhere else. I think at this point I will call a plumber out. Thanks!

The dryer vent is only about 2 feet long... it is the exterior wall that the dryer sits against... so not far to go - nothing blocking it.

I have double metal front doors. Each door had 3 big plastic type decorative squares attached to them (very 80s!). I removed the squares and planned on sanding and painting the doors. Each square...

Any suggestions? Should I call out a plumber again?

Our dryer vent goes directly from our dryer straight outside. There is only about 3 feet of alluminun vent. It is clear of debris. Our dryer is only 1 year old and the vent trap in the dryer is...

I tried sealing off the drain pipe with Saran wrap and duct tape. It didn't help. Once again I didn't run the washing machine at all (havent for 24 hours). I put some wet clothes into the dryer...

Someone else advised that I try sealing off the drain pipe as well. We did that with Saran wrap and duct tape. It didn't help. Once again I didn't run the washing machine at all (havent for 24...

We do have a standpipe but it is connected to a trap drain. We will give the saran wrap a try and see what happens. Thanks

Yes the vent pipe on the roof as well as the basement floor drain was snaked. Right after this was done we did laundry and there was no smell. Within a couple weeks the smell was back!

We have had a sewer/gas smell in our laundry room on and off for about a year now. At first we thought it was coming from our new Kenmore front load washing machine as we would get the smell when...

Only a couple hours had past since I sent you my last message when I went to check on my fish and my sick goldfish had died. So the remaining 4 appear healthy and active with no signs of anything...

I am going to purchase a home test kit to test my water but haven't done that yet. As of Today (Thurs evening) 4/5 fish are acting normal. The 1 goldfish (that was initially the sick one) has not...

Ok tonight (Mon)... I am on my 3rd day of maracyn-two treatment. My one fish seems to be getting better as he isn't hanging out at the bottom of the aquarium much anymore. BUT... tonight when I got...

For the past few weeks I have noticed that we have a slow drip coming from our toilet. I have checked the toilet when I hear the noise but there is no evidence of any water on the floor around the...

I honestly don't know what I would do without you!! Thank you once again for all your great advice and for responding so quick to my messages! I am going to try one of the meds you recommended and...

I didn't get your reply until today (Thursday) so Tuesday evening I did a 25% water change and started with another cycle of Melafix. Fish bump does look better and the dark spot isn't as dark...

Well my goldfish has taken a turn for the worse. As of yesterday (Monday) the red bump has gotten big again (it had decreased in size) and now beside it is a black dot. The fish is also sitting on...

It is not an open wound. Almost looks like a reddish color bump under the top layer of the skin. I removed the carbon from the filter and started with Malifex today and will see how that goes. ...

I just noticed today that 1/5 of my golfish has a big bump on the side of it with red tones underneath it (the size of a big pimple!). I have 5 golfish in a 33 galon tank and the remaining fish look...

My last "yearly" checkup was in September and everything was fine. I had full bloodwork done at that time. Does this warrant another visit to my doctor?

Thank you for the information. Yesterday I did have the minor spotting (day 25). Last night I found sex to be a little painful - actually more uncomfortable than anything. Right after I noticed...

I am 32 years old and this is my 2nd month off the pill. We are not "officially trying" to get pregnant at this point, but also not avoiding it. I have always been very regular with a 28-29 day...

I recently purchases a leather conditioner from a "Homestyles Show" so I am going to give that a try. Thanks!

I went to a pet store last week to find an algae distroyer and they said they no longer sell anything like that. They said they found it was harming the fish. So... I went back home and did a 1/3...

In the past couple years I get hemorrhoids about once every 6-8months. I am a female in her early 30's, not pregnant, eat a regular diet, and exercise often. I have been to the doctor about this...

Sorry I don't know the readings of the water. I never test it myself. The last time I had it tested was when I took a sample in to a pet store. They said everything was fine except that the PH was...

My gold fish have been in a 30gal fresh water unheated aguarium for 3 years now with the algae controlled well. Over the past mont I have noticed a huge amount of algae forming. The glass of the...

I noticed today that my dog is rubbing at her eyes lots with her paws. She has a green/white discharge coming from both eyes and her corneas appear red. This is VERY similar to when I had an eye...

My husband has 2 warts beside each other on his heel. What is the best way to get rid of these. He has recently tried Compound W... anything better out there? No idea where they came from - but...

WOW! I didn't know any of that! Thank you so much for the information. I have never had any remains of the snails and never any odor... my fish must be eating them! I will definitely be more...

The snails I purchase are called "mystery snails". Whenever my snails die it does seem to happen just overnight. One day they are fine - the next day there is nothing in the shell and just the hard...

Unfortunately I have come across another problem with my aquarium. My fish were all healthy and back to normal (after one was cured of swim bladder). On December 23rd I purchased 2 snails and one...

I have a DVD player, VCR, and Star Choice Satellite (Canadian) hooked up to my newer Sony television. All components are connect and working properly. I cannot get it so I can record anything that...

I came across the sewer smell in my laundry room AGAIN last night. But this time I never used the washing machine! We had some wet clothes I threw into the dryer... and the sewer smell started! ...

What is the best way to cook a whole ham? How much water? Lid on or off? How do you know for how long and what temp? This is my first ham!

I have recently purchased a wood dining room table with full back brown leather chairs (real leather). My concern is that my dining room has large windows and direct sunlight comes into this room...

Yes we did replace the subfloor around the toilet as the tub and toilet both had leaked before and it was all rotten. So you think the newer subfloor needs to be nailed down again to the joists? ...

We had a new bathtub and all new plumbing installed (including new toilet) last March. We then had new flooring installed (glued down and sealed to the tub as normal). We didn't care for the...

Well my husband climbed on the roof and poured water down the pipe. We did 2 loads of laundry the following day and NO SMELL! So it must be that pipe that keeps getting plugged up! Thanks for your...

Ok I tried the medication and the peas yesterday. I already notice a difference today with my sick fish... not floating anymore and seems to be swimming fine! I have never tested my water at home. ...

Only one goldfish out of 6 is sick and they are still in the same aquarium together. So do I stop all regular food and feed all of them frozen peas? I usually feed them morning and at supper time...

I have 6 goldfish in a 30gallon aquarium for 3yrs now. They eat floating pellets. I noticed over the couple days that one fish is swimming with its tail towards the top (almost fighting to stay...
