Omega-3 Improves Your Pet Health

my cousin loves my shitzu but she lives in a tower block and has health problems. does anyone know what kind of dog she should get? she wants as small a dog as possible but she doesnt like yorkies or skinny dogs – think she would like a mini shitzu but this isnt possible- are maltese much smaller that shitzu and would they be suitable.
please consider carefully as this is a big undertaking for her and she really wants to make the right decison thanks

I just adopted a 1yr old female beagle mix from an animal shelter. All was fine the first day I brought her home (Monday). Tuesday night she began to show the following symptoms: did not want to eat after about 2 pm… hard breathing and then began to make a “hacking/ coughing” sound as if she was going to throw up but nothing came out.
Wednesday, symptoms got worse. She ate very little and hacking/coughing symptoms became worse and when she pooped, it was watery (brownish) but had blood only when she finished.
Thursday (today, thanksgiving) hacking coughing gets worse when she stands up. she breaths hard (stomach puffs up down) before coughing/ hacking begins… tries to throw up but nothing comes out. There are no vets where I live…but finally got a hold of one 50 miles away…will take her ASAP.
Not that I will wait for a response before I take her to the vet but anyone have any ideas what is going on with this dog?
For the record, I called the Shelter and they said it was “probably” the change in diet (food) or seperation anxiety/depression. No previous medical problems reported. Please help

Hi
We collected 3 8week old kittens nearly 3 weeks ago from a rescue cattery. One is much larger than the other two and looks older. They had a health check to confirm they were 8 weeks old before we got them and had theire first injection. One of the smaller kittens seems to be struggling breathing after 2 weeks and wasn’t playful so I took her to the vet who told me that she had cat flu and prescribed antibiotics, vitamin patse and something to stop the runs as she was dehydrated. She continued to eat but this morning refused her food so I took her back to the vet. She said she thought she was getting over the flu but that her breathing was a concern. She was put in an incubator and given an injection of antibiotics and fluid to try and rehydrate her. The vet rang after a few hours to say she was eating and looking brighter but her breathing was still not right. The vet has just phoned and said that her heart rate has slowed down and that she’s been able to detect a heart murmur which looks like her poor little heart is beginning to fail.
My family and I are absolutely devastated as if there;s no improvement by tomorrow the vet has advised putting her to sleep. Please can someone give me some advice urgently? I know she’s battling a few problems but is there any chance that she could go on to lead a normal life as she’s just a baby?

vet shaved off all hair. could this cause a health problem?

He likes to go out for walks but refuses to walk fast or jog with me. he refuses to play fetch and acts very easygoing and relaxed all the time. in the house also he would sit in one place for hours and walk only little bit. I want his heart to get more activity so that he does not get any diseases or health problems.
He is not old. Just 4 years old.
