The Armant The Egyptian Dog with a Lot of Love to Give To some of you, the Armant is better known as the “Egyptian Sheepdog” and, just as the name suggests it, it was bred to be a herding dog. However, in ancient times, it was used mostly as a guard dog. This breed is originally from Egypt and named after the town of Armant. Its loyalty and agility are the two main characteristics which make this dog special. The Atlas Terrier The Small Dog With a Massive Dose of Energy At a glimpse, the Atlas Terrier can be easily mistaken with the Jack Russell Terrier. However, there are some differences that may help you tell these two cousins apart. Before deciding to buy or adopt a dog of this breed, there are some things that you have to take into consideration. Unfortunately, this is quite a rare breed of dogs in our days. Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie It Is Impossible Not to Love Them Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie are the smallest dogs in the Anglos-Francais category.

Even if they've been around since the 16th century, today, these dogs are not easy to find. So if you have decided to adopt one, you can be sure that you will have a unique pet. |

Pet Tips
Tumors in tropical fishTropical fish are much like other species in many respects, this includes the fact that they may have or acquire diseases or disorders that may resemble those of any other animal, but are specific to the fish themselves. One good example is a cancerous tumor. Just as humans, cats or dogs may get cancer or other types of tumors, tropical fish can as well.The main difference is that treatment in tropical fish is nearly impossible; this can often depend greatly on the type and location of the mass. Not only are they difficult to handle so that a human can have clear visual access to them, but some cures such as surgery are basically out of the question. Tumors will generally show themselves as a lump under or on the skin of a fish. These are a distinct bump or lump, as opposed to the white fluff of skin diseases. For the most part, tumors are benign, although it's very possible for one to grow to a size which makes the fish's quality of life decline and you may have to euthanize it. One type of tumor that does have some success with treatment is the kind that forms under the skin of the gill, causing it to remain open. The cause of this can normally be attributed to a thyroid malfunction . An article we read suggested this as a possible treatment. Remove the fish to a small solitary tank, and add 1 milligram of potassium iodine for every gallon of water. Improvement can be slow, and the full course of treatment can take up to one month. Internal tumors can be very advanced before the fish shows any signs, such as a swelling of the abdomen. These cases are inevitably fatal, with the rapid growth causing the fish to lose its ability to swim and or eat, at which time you should consider euthanasia.
