I have two schnauzers. My oldest one is about 3 years old and the youngest is about 4 months old. The oldest has dry skin so she scratches alot and pulls her own fur out. This time I caught her pulling the youngest dog's fur out. It wasnt just a random spot. She sniffed him up and down several times before she zoomed in on the fur on his neck. Has anyone else's dog done this before and if so what should I do?

My dogs doing same ting right before female coming into heat.This is only time she do this to male dog so I think it mean she interested in him. She constantly chewing and pulling fur from his neck. You dog still young, but I believe she become interested in male. Even if both fixed , is like instinct.I can not stopping this so I have to separate. But long as male dog not aggressive toward girl dog should be ok unless dog neck get irritate or yeast from being wet all the times.

*

Also could be that younger dog smell the infection or irritation and try to help other dog. Either case is not an aggressive behavior. *

Sometime the dog lick or chew wound to helping heal it.

my dogs are spayed - of course! But my little poodle goes up to her bud and scratches her then grabs a mouth full of fur and yanks at it. both are female, both are NOT dominant. Actually, I came on tonight trying to find out why she does this. She does it when she's playing - or happy - it seems http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20090818073604AA0W67n&kid=McMtDFfiDzmEI1z_a1a6&s=comm&date=2009-08-26+17%3A32%3A38&.crumb=

every time it barks squirt water in its mouth and say quiet. Your dog will be quiet licking the water in her mouth and after some time your dog will get the idea and stop barking at the bell.

you need to get your dog used to being told and obeying to stay in one position then treat, slowly introduce door bell to this equation and gradually he will associate door bell with going to that position and not barking

My dog can really chew through anything so will she be able to destroy these?

Probably...but what you need to do is hide them from your dog in a box..then put your dog in the other room while your kitty is playing with them...so she cant chew them up

You don't mention the breed or age of your dog, but you can be sure that if the dog is a dog your plastic and feather toys will be in little tiny pieces in less than an hour.

If you must have toys like this for the cat, make sure the dog can't get them.

You might save a little money for yourself and vet bills for your dog if you just stick with a laser pointer or crumpled paper for the cat!

Well if your dog can already chew through alot of things, i dont think plastic and feathers are going to last long. I would put them in a higher spot to where your cat can get but not your pup, until he realizes what he can and can not chew on.

If she is a year old and still chewing on things like that, she needs to be taken to an obedience class.

We have been giving him regular baths, treat him for fleas, etc.. but they keep coming back. His skin is red, and irritated. Are there any over the counter remedys?

Above all, you need to keep your dog flea free, that means putting a topical liquid - a good, name brand one like Advantix or Frontline Plus - on your dog EVERY SINGLE MONTH, without fail.

Flea dips, baths, collars, etc. only get rid of a few adult fleas, the eggs and larvae hatch and your dog has fleas again - doesn't do any good.

The only thing that prevents fleas are GOOD, name brand topical liquids, not harz or adams or any junk like that --- get Advantix or Frontline Plus.

As to his sores - hot spots really - get a spray from the vet,

Genesis, it is good for this, stops the itching and helps heal.

Meanwhile, put some antibiotic cream on the spots - but get him to the vet asap.

If he is truly flea infested, the vet can give him a pill, Capstar, that gets rid of fleas very quickly -- but you must PREVENT fleas with a monthly liquid like Advantix.

Get going, your poor dog doesn't need to be infested like that, I have 6 dogs, live in the rural south and with Advantix every month, my dogs never have fleas or ticks. Advantix also repels mosquitos.

you need the frontline solution to get rid of all the fleas and the eggs...you will need to buy these (not very cheap) to help your furry friend to get rid of these agony.

Please check if your house is infested as well and if he does have a bed, check if it is infested as well.

please use the flea comb to get rid of the remaining fleas.

the fleas are coming back because you cannot only treat the dog, you have to treat the house and yard as well.

My puppy is around 3 months old, and something really weird is happening to it. It's growing an extra leg. I'm being really really serious about this, I don't know what's wrong with it. I took it to the vet, but they said they wouldn't treat him! Should I just chop the growing leg off my self? Or should I get a professional to do it?

Take it to anothr vet, and if they can't do anything, just let the leg grow, It'll look strange but that's the same loving puppy you had before inside.

i think u should go and see someone else and see wat they say

unless you want to kill your dog dont cut off its leg!

why would you even think of that! omgg. thats crazy,

get an second opinion! and a PROFESSIONAL.

if you dont love your dog you could find someone else that will aprecaite the dog more than you apperently are*

Go to a knowledgeable capable vet A.S.A.P. DON'T CHOP IT OFF YOURSELF. Check this successful puppy leg amputation story out at:

http://www.pawnation.com/2009/07/24/five-legged-dog-has-extra-leg-removed/

Good Luck and I hope the dog is okay!

They see me trollin'...they hatin'.

Dr. Dog

Okay i've never heard of anything like this before but don't ever chop off something that's growing off your dogs body. Do you want it to be scarred for life?! What your considering doing would be like cutting off your own arm or leg! What did the vet say when you took your pup to them. The vet knows best... mostly. If that vet had no idea what was going on take your pup to a different one. If you do it then you probably don't know how to do stitches or anything, and who knows it might grow back again! Keep going from vet to vet until you find out what's wrong and what to do about it. Your dog just might have to be a healthy five legged deformed dog. Just make sure you do what's best for your dog, and don't chop off his leg. That's considered animal cruelty.

What the hell's wrong with you? Take it to a different vet. You can't just go around chopping off bits of animals!

Why can't they treat ur puppy!? Tha'ts THEIR job! And PLEASE don't chop it off urself! U're going to hurt the little thing :( Go to another veterinary hospital see what they can do about it because the one u go to doesn't no anything

find an in home vet that does amputations and bring your dog to them. they will probably have a high cost, but if you really care, thats the best option. and its usually not safe to amputate an animals limb on your own. hope this helps

Don't ever chop anything off your animal yourself unless you want it to bleed to death. It may seem like he is growing an extra limb, and it is possible that he has some sort of defect. There was a lamb recently with an extra leg growing out of his neck. It looked like a little lamb leg scarf! Haha!! Not kidding!!

The problem with any extra growth is that there may be a network of veins and maybe even arteries going to the limb/growth. Cutting it off will cause your animal to bleed to death.

You need to call around to local vet clinics and ask who will see him and explain the problem. Look them up on yellowpages.com.

Your vet will determine if this is indeed a limb or if it is some sort of tumor growth and can suggest next steps. If the limb affects any major blood supply he may want to leave it as is.

what ever you do don't chop it off your self get a professional to do it. cause u don't know if there is a vital internal body part connected to it

You cannot be serious. Perhaps you should take yourself to a doctor. No vet would refuse to treat a dog with such a problem.

Get a second (vet) opinion.

WAIT WAIT!!!

PICK ME!!!!

OOOH!!!

PICK ME!!!!

You bought this puppy from a backyard breeder!!!! OOOOOH!!!! I am good!

wtf is wrong with you!!?? Chop it off yourself??? HELL no!!!!!! Go to a (different) vet and ask their opinion.

Don't even answer this moron.

If you check her other questions, she just asks outrageously stupid questions I guess just so she can sit on her fat *** at home and laugh with her fat friends.

Get out of your diaper and shut up.

lol. just let it grow.

You should be qualified to do it yourself. Just grab yourself a dull table spoon and start hacking.

umm defiantly a professional

You could chop off your dog's leg yourself if you are an experienced medical person, but if no, then, it will be best if you let a professional perform the chopping of your dog's leg. Chopping it off by yourself might lead to serious or life-threatening complications to your puppy.

What?!?! Get a professional to do it! It could get infected otherwise and she will need to be put under for the operation... and I dont think you are capable of being an anthesologist! Just look for a professional who will do it.

Don't chop it off yourself.

Get another vet to give you a second opinion.

If you are trolling, please leave.

WHAT EVER HAPPENS DON'T CHOP THE LEG OFF YOURSELF IM SERIOUS LET A PROFESSIONAL DO IT!!!!!!

i think you should demand the vets do something about it and if they don't go to an animal hoispital make sure its done by a proffessioal cause if you do it the leg could get infected and it could really hurt the poor dog!!

what do you think? you go to a proffensional!!

...get some photos and call the National Inquire first...(make some money with this anomaly)

he's a 9 year old chihuahua, and he's only started this behaviour after we recently moved to a new place. Also, he only does it in the bedroom and not anywhere else in the house.

are you sure hes not licking his nose? Dogs usually lick their nose.

Was there a fan on or snything like that?

I have a Chihuahua. Did have three in fact. All of them do the same thing; one in particular. I think it is something that is irritating or tickling their throat, tongue, or mouth. There may be particulates in the air in the bedroom, or something.

I think it helps with smelling. My dog always dose that, and she dose it allot when there's strong smelling food around even though she can't see it.

They do that to collect Pheromones to be processed by the Vomeronasal Organ.

All of which you can learn about by doing a web serch of "Jacobson's Organ"

Doing that helps them smell the place better.

there must be something in the air that smells funny to him. Dogs are very good at smelling things that humans cant so if you have a gas powered home or something to that effect, you might want to get it checked to make sure theres no leak.

Is there a fan in the bedroom? most of my dogs lick the air whenever some of it is blown in their face.

lol. dogs can see and smell stuff better than we can.

which are going to be running around me as well?

Okay..I have a large German Shepherd....but I have feeling there will be dogs like Doberman, Rottweiler, Akita or Pitbulls around me running in the park...

what should I do?

In your case, I would recommend "No park activity for your dog. Other dogs will sense YOUR fear and that could make uneasy conditions for your dog. I don't recommend dogs running loose anyway. Too much liability, Keep your dog restrained and in pleaces where he can exercise without interaction with other dogs that stimulate your anxietyTheir sensing your anxiety could lead to "Pack attack" behavior.. Your dog needs interaction with you more than he needs interaction with other dogs that could cause problems, or even make your dog aggressive.

DO NOT bring your dog to a dog park if you are scared of other dogs. Your fear is going to be picked up on by the other dogs, and they are going to start acting out. And if your dog picks up on it, it may try to defend you, and the next thing you know there will be a dog fight. Which will be ALL your fault, no matter what the other dogs do.

If you are going to own a large, potentially dangerous dog, I sincerely suggest you start going to obedience classes, so that you learn how to project a calm attitude and be in charge. Some sessions with a trainer might also be helpful.

Yet you own the number one dog when it comes to bites.

The breeds you mention all have a wrongfully bad reputation.

Labs and goldens can attack a person just as well.

The biggest problem at dog parks is when people bring a dog who is aggressive to other dogs.

Do you know anyone with one of those breeds, so you can get to know their dog?

You would be surprised how many great examples of those breeds are out there...so many people have bad opinions of those dogs due to a few bad owners and the media.

You are extremely prejudice and even hypocritical. GSDs are considered "vicious dogs" by the media along with all those other breeds you mentioned. NONE of those breeds are bad. It's all hype by the media. Stop being so prejudice and just go to the park. Keep in mind that there is occasionally an untrained dog there and there might be a little quarrel.

You need to get over that fear

because most people are afraid of those breeds most people make sure they are friendly to people and most in dog parks are friendly towards other dogs.

They have all been given a bad rap. and with out a good reason. You need to go and meet people with these breeds of dogs and explain that you are afraid of this breed and would like to get over it. They will have no problem with that. Everyone who owns breeds with bad raps are more than willing to change someones view of their breed. Or find a breeder in your area that wouldn't mind you coming in and meeting their dogs which are well behaved.

Just remember your dog doesn't see dangerous breeds like rottweilers, akitas, pit bulls, dobermans, and others like you do, he sees someone to play with. So don't make him miss out on playing because of your fears.

I agree with the people who say, "stay away." If you are afraid of other dogs, the dog park is no place for you, and especially if you are with your dog. You might have to break up a dog fight, and you might not be able to do it. Some of the advice here on getting over this fear is also good, but until then, go elsewhere.

So what? Stop being afraid. Simple as that. Dogs CAN and DO detect fear. Why did you get a dog if you are afraid of dogs?

You are generalizing as well. You need to understand that 95% of all these dogs you mentioned are the biggest babies in the world. Stop believing everything you read and hear. German Shepherds have also been included in your list of dogs to fear, even though you didn't put it there. Other people would.

My Toy Poodle can send Pitties, Rotties, etc. running scared. So much for them being dogs to fear. There's even a fence between them, as it's segregated according to size.

We go to the dog park almost every day, and have for over 2 years and never had a problem.

wow that is soo "breed-ist"

nobody would bring an untrained dog to a dog park

so what if its a rottweiler or doberman or akita or pitbull

they are no different then any other dog , just bigger

they have a bad rep. because people look up a dog breed on google , read a few lines get a dog and dont know anything about the breed.

goldens and labs are on the top of the bite list. but yet you watch the news and hear of a few dogs and therefore think all are bad?! wow....

Dog Bites, Dog Fights, Disease's, wow it's just not a very good place for you or your dog really, your better off just staying out of Dog Parks. You know if everyone trained their dogs, properly vaccinated their dogs then dog parks would be cool, but people don't...so it's a risk for you and worse a really big risk for your dog.

you have a GSD, which is probably a perfectly nice dog, and there might be other dogs there, who are also probably perfectly nice too...

there's lots of people who are also afraid of GSD, so what's the problem?

no one should go to a leash-free dog park if their dog isn't nice!!!

if you're scared, don't go. your dog will sense that from you.

and WHAT is wrong with pit bull terriers???

What's wrong with those breeds?

There is nothing wrong with them. They aren't vicious. They are actually very affectionate breeds mislabeled by the media.

Plus, mean dogs aren't allowed in the dog park. So all the dogs there will be dog friendly.

Good luck.

HOw can you be scared of those smaller dogs when you have a large german shepherd, If you are really afraid dont take the dog to the park. If you really want to tkae him, just sit on the bench and ignore the other dogs and watch you dog play!

Come on, to be a dog owner you'll have to be bolder. That's the way the park is! I think tou can't have a dog if you're that coward to other big dogs running at the park. Even It's possible if those big dogs are gentle.

I apologize if you think I'm rude.

i wouldn't go to dog parks period. they are not always nice dogs around. it is also easy to spread diseases. i would just walk my dog and if i wanted her to socialize set up doggy play dates in a more secure and controlled setting

Wow.

Um basically get over it. Id be terrified of your dog if i owned a chihuahua.

All those breeds you mentioned are living proof that the media has convinced you they are bad.

Take your dog through an obedience course first. You'll become more comfortable being near other dogs and you'll learn to trust your dog in a group setting. Then try a dog park.

If your scared of dogs then why do you own one ?

How can u be scared of other dogs- come on !

well just go when there aren't many dogs there

I have a 9 month old boxer (female) she weights about close to 50 pounds or more. I am wondering when i can stop giving her puppy food and start giving her adult dog food. I also want to know when she is considered an adult dog. Thanks =)

It depends on the dog. You should be more than safe to give her dog food now.

They will usually stop growing at around 1yr-18 months but it can take up to 2 years depending on the genetics from the parents.

If the dogs paws still look a little bit too big for her legs she still has some growing to do.

She is considered an adult at around 2years old, at this stage most dogs have passed the 'puppy adolescence' but some dogs never grow out of it.

I have a 10yr old BC who has been in adolescence since he opened his eyes.

Larger breeds take longer to mature than smaller ones. You can ask your vet for the answer to this question; that's the safest place to get the best answer.

I have a black lab and had the same question( I wanted to know when to change him to adult food) so I asked a specialist

at PET SMART she told me when my dog turned 1yr old.

i've always thought when the dogs a year old their considered an adult, but maybe check with your vet when you can start her on adult dog food.

when she is 1 she can start eating adult dog food (a dog is considered an adult at age 1)

even though she is still considered a puppy she can have adult food now unless you wnt her to keep growing

At 2 years old.

i think when shes 3 years.

that story really upset me and i dont even think he is ugly, i cant believe people are so cruel.

yes i was very upset when i read it anyone who can hurt a deflenless animal should be locked up

i help the humane Society and i take in a whole bunch of animals every day and im considering that a build a huge house for them and make rooms for each breed. I have the money and i take a lot of animals every day im single and i really know what its like.. Some that Ive had died in my house that's how long i had them. I love animals no matter what kind and people need to learn a lesson once and a while. I'm ten years old and my mom takes in those types of animals and i made a club that im in with 20 other people we have saved up to 7 cats 2 hamsters 5 dogs and 2 turtles. This case upsets me too.

i hate animal cruelty it really upsets me too. a few months ago i herd about the cat that had to be uthenized cause two teens broke into an apartment held the cat down soaked it in litter fluid burned it to death when medics got their it was crying couldn't move badly burned and damage to an eye and such that it was the only thing they could do. when i read that i was ready to cry i have not seen that story yet but i love animals and i have both a dog and a cat.

It is really sad that there are people in the world who gain some sick form of pleasure from doing this to animals-mugly may not be the prettiest dog in the world but he did not deserve the cruelty subjected to him-I think the people responsible should be severely punished to illustrate that this type of injustice cannot be condoned-get better soon mugly!

I know i got really upset, i don't think the dog is ugly. He's kinda cute really.

How could people do that to a poor little thing that couldn't defend him self. It's just Cruel and evil. it's sick!

Hi Jane!

I find it totally heartbreaking and even more - frustrating. What is our country coming to? Kids being beaten, starved and murdered by their own parents, knife crime, dogs getting beaten up, MP's getting money dished out for f*** all, etc., etc. What a truly horrible country we live in.

O i just read it about 1/2 hour ago. Poor dog. It made me so sad. They pulled out the only tuft of hair he had. I just don't want to believe it. I know it really happened. What I mean is it's so upsetting to know people do things like this.

omg how could anyone do that, makes me damn mad that out of that group not one of them tried to stop the poor dog from getting hurt. thank god that person did not just walk on by.

believe it! a lot of people look at a dog as something the can take their anger out on! if i were a dog officer there would be a lot of people in jail or on death row!

I found it very appalling, i didn't even bother reading the full story, i was so angry at the headline. I mean really was there any need to pull his hair out?

yes I heard about it and it upset me but I love animals and every time I hear anything about cruelty to animals it upsets me

THEM KIDS BETTER DIE AND ROT IN HELL- THEY ARE SH*THEADS WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO AND THEY WILL HAVE A **** LIFE NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO.

I love dogs and when i read that story it made me cry! those teens deserve to b locked up, who would do something like that!

I took my dog to the vet to get spayed , what should I expect when I bring her home? How can I make her feel more comfortable? Thanks!

She will probably be both happy to see you and yet lethargic (tired) when you pick her up to bring her home. I would recommend following the instructions that the vet gives you. Also, I would make sure she has somewhere comfortable to lay (soft blanket etc), and try not to let her jump up too much (like on furniture) until her incision has healed a bit. Keep an eye on the incision, and again follow your vet's instructions.

Here is a link to an article -- scroll down for what to expect post-surgery as well as what to watch for after surgery:

http://dogtime.com/spaying-your-female.html

Hope this is helpful. Best of luck!

Moe

The vet will give you directions for caring for her. This is a surgery, but if she's in good health it's pretty routine. She will likely be a little sleepy and "dopey" from the anesthesia, this is normal. The vet may have recommendations for helping keep her from chewing at her stitches, and what to watch for as she comes completely out the affects of the anesthesia. I wouldn't worry much. A goo vet will tell you what you need to know and should answer all your questions.

And good for you, getting your dog spayed! =)

I just had my dog spayed last week and it went very well. She moved slow at first and just laied on my lap on the way home . She slept the rest of the night and in the flowing days she started to become her old self, full of it. Just keep her calm as possable and give her a little water the first night and little or no food.After that just a little as she becomes herself everything as normal.

Well your dogs going to feel like anyone who just got surgery. Tired, uncomfortable, and maybe in a little pain. But when you go to the vets you can ask theses questions and they'll give you more information.

To make him more comfortable, just make your dog a nice bed next to you and just chill with him. pet him, be around him. Isn't that what dogs want the most? Put in a movie to entertain yourself and just have a relaxing day.

Ask your vet for some Rimadyl (pain medicine) so she won't be in pain. She will be fine, don't let her run and jump just be easy with her for a week or so and pet her and let her know you love her. When they spend time at the vet getting these things done that cause them to have to stay overnight sometimes, it makes them wonder why you took them there and left them, so just give her extra love during this time and you will both be closer than ever.

She will most likely be sluggish and loopy at first. Let her rest and do not let her run or jump. The vet will give you pain meds, and probably a list of dos and donts. I suggest put her a bed in a quiet comfortable spot and let her sleep. Depending on the dog she should be back to normal in a couple days. My girl is kind of happy go lucky and only 6 months old so she was her normal self the next day, just sore.

She will be very quiet and keep her that way.

Offer a little bit of bland food for this evening and little sips of water.

What I normally do for food is offer a tiny amount every half hour to an hour otherwise they can be sick. Just a couple of mouthfuls, and the same with water.

Then keep her quiet for the next week taking her for walks in the garden for her wee's and poos and no running around. This is quite a major op and I think I see more complications with this one than any other so just keep her as calm as possible.

I remember my female being down for about two days. It was quite comical and sad at the same time. She was really tired and all she did was sleep, go outside, come in, eat, sleep, repeat. Called it Doggy Downers.

Just keep her in a nice quite room. A cage would be better. She needs a minimum of a week to heal before she should be allowed to play. The vet will give you a care sheet and tell you want to expect and what to look out for.

Well, a bit of her "underside" will be shaved as that's where they had to.. you know.. do it. Don't worry, the fur will grow back. She might walk around looking frightened and putting her tail between her legs, so just be comforting to her and don't raise your voice too often. Make sure her bed is nice and soft, too.

That's about as much as I can give you. Hope your dog is fine!

she might be groggy but honestly my dogs didnt even notice they got fixed and i think thats WORSE because you need to keep them calm. no running, jumping, climbing. outside on a leash to potty then right back inside. they should be giving you pain meds and probably some antibiotics

She will be groggy. She will just want to sleep. Let her. You may have to push her to go outside the first day or so for potty breaks. But she will bounce back quickly.

she might calm down

She'll be grumpy and look like you just beat her wearing the cone. After the cone comes off and her stitches are out she'll be about the same.

read the first blog post. this is my blog

http://eclecticmodernlife.blogspot.com/

So she's developed this rash for a week now and I'm starting to wonder if there is anything I could do for her to help ease the pain. It's on her belly button and next to her vagina. Could I put some lotion on the rash? What would help out her situation?

are you mentally challenged in some way that I can't tell right now?

Cleansing it first. Then try the juice of an aloe plant. Split the leaf and rub the juicy part over the rash.

Then you can put 'Cortisone over that to keep it from itching

If all else fails, off to the Vet she goes.

well, that rash is more than likely a hotspot. the best thing is to take it to the vet. it is a cheap treatment, so no worries about cost. hope this helps! :)

you might turn her on.

take it to the VET!

I don't like the bloody fluid that she passes out

You cannot do anything about her being in "Heat" other than getting her fixed. You can reduce the chance of her getting pregnant by fitting her with a doggy diaper. It looks stupid, but it'll make it more difficult for a male to get the job done, and it'll absorb the fluids.

No,there is nothing to do but get her spayed.Why don't you want to spay her? It will prevent the mess,accidental litters,false pregnancies,masitis,the deadly infection, pyometra,cancers of the reproductive tract and mammary glands, and it will increase her lifespan.There is no reason not to spay her.

What do you want, a dog contraceptive?

No, spaying is the ONLY way.

There are free/cheap spay clinics available so not being able to afford it is not an excuse.

Nor is "I want to breed her". Breeding should only be done my professionals.

Or "She would be upset". She is not human.

Please arrange a spay today.

Why don't you just get her spayed? I have heard of a shot that delays the cycle, but I have heard that the risks far outweigh the benefits.

There is absolutely nothing you can do about this other than get her fixed.

No, get her spayed and you don't have to deal with anything like that.

No! Just have her spayed so you don't have to deal with something worse in the future!

She scratches a lot, but no flees or parasites detected by the vet.

May need her anal glands cleaned out

My dogs scoot their butts around after they poop alot... It probably just itches I mean it's a butt "stuff" comes out of their... Could you imagine how bad your butt would itch if you didn't wipe????

She's fine it's normal...Not to mention I think it's soooo funny and cute when they do it

maybe because her but is itching!!

I have a border collie and i'm always being hassled off my computer to walk him. Is there any way i can have him walk himself around the block? Do NOT make fun of me please, i'm serious.

lol... he could walk himself but theres no sure thing he'll come back.

thats horible 1. u cant even get ur fat but off the computer and 2. i love walking my dog i go for 4 hr walks around the streets then thru the bush with my dog every day i love seeing my dog smiling and running around looking so happy and i just take my phone and listen to music while i walk if u let your dog walk around it will get hit by a car or in a fight or someone will think what a pretty dog theres no1 around it must be stray and take it home and its just plain wrong walking is also a bonding time for u and ur dog god i hate people like u u get a dog and think ok it can take care of itself

OK like I think something is wrong with you if you can't even take care of your own pet. Why did you get a dog in the first place? I mean if you do not even want to bother with him find him a "good" home to where he will get the love and attention that he really truly needs. And for you get a life, go do some push ups or something drink an energy drink and get up off your butt and do something.

seriously, give up your dog if you can't take a break from world of warcraft or myspace to walk you dog.

but anyways, if you have a fence, buy your dog a toy that he can play with, and let him stay outside for a little while.

it will probably run around and play unless it's as lazy as you are.

Border Collies are high energy dogs and need a lot of training and play time.

If you don't have time for your dog please find a reputable Border Collie rescue to help you rehome him.

And NO you can't teach the dog to take itself for a walk

No, you can't have him walk himself, and he needs a lot more than just a walk around the block anyway.

you can't be serious?

if you aren't going to take proper care of him, give him to someone that will

i know. hire me i wil walk him for you if you ship hm to me and den ill ship hm back

Nothing can replace a good walk outdoors or time spent with their owner. But for when you are really busy, you should train him to walk on a treadmill.

Border collies are high energy dogs..why would you have one if you're too lazy to give it even a fraction of the exercise it needs?

Well, this is the second troll I've seen today, a recent decrease in the amount in dogs sections. I wonder where they all went?

Dr. Dog

First of all no, second of all wow you're lazy why do you have a pet?

Attach a walkie talkie to him. let him out the door. use the walkie talkie to call him home.

Oh silly troll.

kikck him in the balls

i just got a new prairie dog..a few months old. everything was fine until yesterday. now she cant move her back legs at all?! its like shes paralyzed. any answers are appreiciated.

What on earth are you doing with a prairie dog? They are wild animals and should NOT be in your home!

BTW: They aren't "dogs" either. They're rodents!

you have to take her the emergency vet. how would anyone (even you) know what happened? Unless you saw an attack by a wild animal or something specific, you can't say what happened. get her medical help right away.

Take her to the Vet ASAP. My neighbors cat had the same problem. It was either a blood clot or some kind of nerve damage, I don't remember. But they did have to put it down because there was nothing they could do for him. I hope this isn't the case with you but be prepared.

Take her to the animal hospital or your vet. They will run some tests to find out what is causing it.

to the vet now!!!!

I noticed the other day that one of her toes looked much longer than the others. All of her other toes are arched, but this toe was completely flat and seemed floppy. Could this be a broken toe or a ligament injury? She doesn't seem to be in any pain, but she's a tough girl.

You'll need to take her to the vet.

Broken probably. Have it checked by your vet as soon as you can.

I know what you mean by 'tough'. My APBT never knew she was spayed. She also never knew she had a big gash on the side of her head.

And she hits her head against the patio walls when running for the ball.

Doesn't faze her. That is why the 'tough ones'? We have to pay close attention to.

dropped toe is what this is called -usually this is a ligment injury. It can be repaired (at high cost) but the problem seldom cause thedog any problems so why put them through it

I have a 15 year old lhaso apso male who is blind & deaf however he eats like a horse, loves to cuddle, is potty trained & loves to run around outside. Lately he has seemed really restless. He wanders about kinda frantically even if he doesn't have to go potty & at night he moves a lot more than he used to. He's still eating & acting like he always has it's just now he can't seem to sit still. Should I be concerned?

Its very possible your dog is getting senile or has dementia. It does happen with the older babies. You may want to call your vet though just to be safe.

My cocker spaniel did this.I agree he may be getting senile or has dementia. It does happen with the older dogs. I gave mine benydrll to help him sleep the vet told me how much.He may be in pain the vet tell you how to make him more comfrotable.

She's a seven-year-old chocolate lab, and the vet thinks she's been bitten by a black widow spider. She has some painkillers, but she can only take them after eating half a can of food. They last for 24 hours, and they should be wearing off around now, so I really need to get more in her. She ate okay (albeit sporadically) yesterday, but she won't touch it today.

Try to feed your dog a different type of can food.

She could be tired of the taste or it just doesn't fit her mouth.

Also, if you give her some different type of can food you have to force yourself to feed her.

If she still won't eat then I suggest you call the vet.

Without confirming the bite, I can only speculate this is a widow

bite.

For most dogs like labs, no doubt she will be quite ill for a day or two.

any bite symptoms (except for the resulting sore) will usually

disappear in about 5-6 days.

99.999 % of widow bites to dogs, occur on the snout.

If she seems to have trouble breathing, get her to a vet imediately.

My lab was bitten on the snout, and was fine a few days later.

The sore took about two weeks to finally heal.

you are going to have to force her to eat you may have to put the food in her mouth and make her eat it (with the pill it will be hard for you but it has to happen!)

put milk in a bottel try and put your dog in your arms and feed your dog.

check for any bumps that look like a spider bite

call the vet and tell them whats going on. They know her history, we dont.

I thought they were fatal? I dunno maybe im wrong. hand feed her some chicken or beef

Call the vet and ask him what to do.

He seems to have bitten off a patch of hair on the top of his tail. Is this some thing to worry about?

Put this stuff on its for puppies and dogsand it makes things taste better so he wont chew on them

Ok it could be a couple of things it could be fleas which u gotta get a prevention for because the over the counter stuff doesn't work it could be dry skin which means when u wash him to use hypo or oatmeal shampoo it could be allergies which ud have to take to the vet to make sure its not food related or u might accidently kill ur dog if its to the base of the tail he could have an anal problem which is the vet again if its a longer haired dog it could be a matt because dogs rip them out when they get too bad and pull at there skin the best bet would be take him to the vet to make sure its not health related if he is just doing it just cause they have this stuff to make it taste gross called bitter apple and it should work but 8 times out of 10 there is a reason so id get it checked

There are virtually limitless possibilities as to what it could be.

What is known for a fact is that there is something on his tail that is bothering him. And regardless of what it is, you should bring it into a vet for an exam.

It could be anything from fleas or ticks to some sort of skin issue.

Its most likely because of fleas. My dog did the same thing and I took him to the vet and the vet said it was fleas so i gave my dog flea medicine. Now to prevent it i spray my dog with Frontline Spary.

May be fleas or allergies. You should take him to the vet for an exam.

im trying to teach my shi-tzu some tricks but she won't come close to the ring.

what is wrong?

because the ring is like a stranger to him in his eyes. for example your outside and you see a leaf fall its nothing to you but your dog starts barking cause again in his eyes its a stranger. what you do is help him by introducing it to him over and over again

let the dog come to the ring use treats. if at first u come toward him w/ the ring it will find that negative. let him come to the ring.

I fell in to a burning ring of fire.

I went down down down and the flames rose higher.

And it burns burns burns.

Im 15 and trying to make some extra cash.

Start with minimum wage. You may be able to go higher once you have good references. I would suggest $10 per hour per pet.

Like if I have a spray to tell him not to pee there, and if I have one to tell him where to pee.

Take your dog out on a regular basis. Forget the "sprays". That is a lazy way of non-training a dog.

He is a 2 year old Alaskan Malamute mix. He needs a home with no children or other animals. I live in Nebraska. He does have some behavioral problems that stem from the place he was bred at including cage fright, and some nipping. Any info. would greatly be appreciated.

search http://www.petfinder.com and find rescue groups in your area.

You should know that if he's a biter, he's probably going to have to be put down. Most rescues will not take on the liability.

Try a rescue here is one in your area http://www.doggies.com/Alaskan_Malamute/Nebraska and another one http://www.malamuterescue.org/rescue/listorg.html

sell him on kijiji.

okay my parents got rid of my dog and didnt even tell me and all i have left is a bone PLEASE HELP ME :'(

if they took it away you obviously shouldn't have gotten it. sit them down and calmly and sanely ask them why they got rid of it. their answer is most likely a very good one, and you will just have to accept it and move on. there are plenty move and you will have many more chances for a fur-kid in the future

Are you 18 years old? If not, it is going to be hard to have any legal right to get the dog back.

Who paid for the dog's vet bills? If you did, get the proof and go to the proper authorities (whoever has the dog).

Where did they bring the dog? How long as it been gone?

We need more information to properly answer your question.

did it tear up the house?

did you not take care of it?

ask your parents why and fix the problems. maybe you can earn the right back for a dog.

If they got rid of the dog, they probably had good reason. The dog is probably better off where he or she is now.

Talk to them and tell them how you feel

well the truth is that it might have past away and didnt want 2 tell you

Why not find out why they got rid of it? How can anyone suggest anything if you don't say why they go rid of it?

They probably had a very good reason. It's not easy, but accept it and move on. Life is not fair sometimes.

Well, why did they do it? Otherwise, we can't help you think of a way to convince them to give you your dog back.

He's an 11 month old Norwegian Elkhound, 55 lbs., and is currently on Purina Puppy Chow. The instructions on the back of the bag are not specific and I cannot find any useful information on their web site regarding the transition to an adult formula.

Actually you can start now. You need to make the change slowly anyway, ideally taking 10 - 14 days to prevent your dog getting diarrhea from the change. You start with about 10% of the new food, gradually increasing the amount every day.

This is off the Eukanuba website:

"Switching Formulas

When your dog's growth in height slows, begin switching to a premium adult formula. This usually occurs around 9-12 months for small breeds, around 12 months for medium breeds and 12-24 months for large breeds.

A gradual switch over a period of four days helps minimize intestinal upsets. This same gradual switching of formulas should be done any time you change your dog's type of food.

Day 1: Fill your dog's bowl with 75% puppy food and 25% adult food.

Day 2: 50% puppy food, 50% adult food.

Day 3: 25% puppy food, 75% adult food.

Day 4: 100% adult food. "

http://www.eukanuba.com/EukGlobal/GLOBAL/en/jsp/puppyGuide/PuppyArticleDetail.jsp?articleType=puppy&articleId=SwitchingFormulas&categoryId=2

Good luck with your puppy.

i would say after a year you can switch to adult food. i would suggest that instead of going directly into the adult food you should try every other day adult food and the other days puppy food. then just start to add more days of adult food and less days of puppy food until your dog is just eating adult food. hope this helps.

at about a full year. so in a month. simply mix the puppy food with the adult food until the puppy food is gone then only give adult. you can do it now, but usually a year is sufficent.

To be honest my dog is almost two and i have a dog who is 12 and they both are still on puppy food.

right now is ok. once they reach 11 months you can start switching them over. don't just switch the food though. once you have about half a bag left buy adult food and slowly start to mix it in and slowly work out the puppy food so your puppy wont get sick. =)

you should have already changed the formula, but that's okay. a puppy is considered 5 or 6 months and under, and also the dog is about the weight of a full grown dog (well in some breeds).

A) purina is crap!

and 1 year is the perfect time to switch

although most of the best quality brands are all life stages anyways

try

canidae, taste of the wild, oreijn, wellness

A year is an appropriet age to change.Gradualy mix the food until he eats basic adult feed.Beneiful is pretty good and has alot nutrition.

Purina is the crappiest food you can feed. Look up high quality foods. Feed wellness all life stages. This kind of food has actual meat no road kill that Purina uses,.

He should be fine for Adult Dog Food.

Go Redskins!

when hes an adult

when he is 12 months old.

I haven't had any problems with my chow chow.

I buy rotisserie chickens and she loves it! So I want to stick to that.

I assume the chicken itself is pretty fine (just a protein source), but the salt and other things they put on it are probably not good for her. Also be careful about feeding cooked bones.

You could look into a raw diet if you are serious about wanting to give her copious amounts of chicken everyday.

Take the skin off of the chicken - it's really too fatty and has too many spices, it'll just upset her stomach.

But the shredded meat of the chicken (no bones!) should be fine.

You should just subtract the amount of chicken you give her from the amount of dog food she gets.

For example, our 35 pound 15 month-old dog eats 2 cups of food a day (one in the morning & one at night). So if I wanted to give him 1/4 of a cup of chicken with no skin as a treat, I'd give him 1 3/4 cups of dry food.

You can research homemade dog food on the web, chicken and rice and all kinds of vegetables are good for them. Dogs need quite a few carbs.

My dog loves leftover plain pasta and carrots and sweet potatoes.

You shouldn't be feeding her any of your chicken. They love it because of the flavour and it's something different. It's not her food it's yours. You should only feed her a small piece or a couple per day at best. I don't know about rice, but I know they can't always have our food either, not all the time and in large quantities, which doesn't sound like you're giving her large amounts anyway so that's good. Our food can make them very sick and fat, and at worst case scenario, kill them from giving them too much of it. For them it's like feeding ourselves mcdonalds every single day. Not healthy, can causes problems and will only make us fat. Same for them. They can't digest our food they way we can, but some every now and then is ok for them, it won't hurt them, but like I said it can make them gain the pounds fairly quickly.

Also, constantly feeding a dog table scraps will lead them to be constant beggers, which will ultimately make it difficult for you to eat alone without having her hover over you consistently, and you won't be able to trust her with food alone because she'll gulp it up at every opportunity. We had a dog that was a begger and you couldn't leave ANYTHING you didn't want eaten out..he was highly intelligent but yeah...opened tuppereware containers because we would feed him scraps sometimes so it's not the best habit to get your dog into. A little here and there will not hurt her though, just control the portions when you do.

Honestly no matter how much she likes it she shouldn't have it. Yes chicken is good for them but not as prepared for human consumption. Please do not continue, you will have an obese dog with a horrible bowel problem.

My goodness - she needs a well balanced meal - this means a high quality dog food with some chicken bits in it if she loves it so much. She needs more dog food than chicken.

Watch out for the spices too - that can upset her tummy.

Yucky answer...but I'd watch her bowel movements...not too hard, not too soft.

Try one half cup for a week and see what happens.you can also give your dog some home made rice...

Not too much, I think not more than 1 pound a day. Anyway, food with too much spices or too salty isn't good for dogs.

I have a 4 month old Cocker Spaniel. She wants me to play with her lots of the time when she's awake. I obviously can't play all the time with her but feel terribly guilty when she wants to play but I don't feel like it. What's a good amount of time to play each day?

Thanks you!

all puppies want to play, they have left all their brothers and sisters where it was playing all day long - well in between naps. You dog will have to learn that you are not able to do this all the time. keep the play times short and sweet, around 10 minutes every couple of hours. try taking her for longer walks to help tire her out or when you are playing try incorporating more tiring games like fetch, where she would be glad for a little lie down afterwards, but be careful not to over do it as her bones and joints are still developing.

There is no set rule about how often you should play with your dog, the best advice I would give you is, play with her as much as you can, as a pup, this is her most important time, whatever happens now, makes her what she will be in the future.

If you can't be bothered playing with her, get a ball, go to a park and take one of those fold up chairs, and you'll just need to sit there and throw the ball, she'll bring it back for you, and she'll love you for that, and you are not having to spend time running around with her, but the main thing is, she's getting her exercise at the same time as having her fun.

There is no set amount of time, but you got a puppy and you are going to have to make some sacrifices to play with her. This is an important bonding time between you and your dog, so don't waste it. They grow up so fast.

She needs exercise. Get her to do something active, like fetch in a big open field. Let her run far and fast until she's obviously tired. Make sure she gets plenty to drink and then let her rest for a few hours. Then, when she's ready again, give her a toy to keep her busy if you are unable to attend to her. Buy a Kong or another toy that you put treats into. I usually fill mine with peanut butter and bits of food and then freeze it. This will keep her busy for a long period of time. (I usually do this when I leave the house)

Anyway, be sure she has plenty of bones and chew toys to play with on her own if you can't play with her, but you really can't just say "I don't feel like it." Suck it up! She's a playful puppy!

I played with my puppy for about a half an hour each day. But make sure it has water around because they will get very hot. Or you could play with her in the morning or in the evening, whenever it's the coolest. But anyway, playing with her everyday for about an half an hour should do it. She'll get strong and love to run!

you have to play with and love a growing puppy all the time ! play with her everyday for awhile and if you play with her for a good amount of time she will be tired so then she wont want to play as much ! because she wants to play because she has so much energy and she wants to let it out so play with her and she'll be tired

She's a puppy! CUTE! You need to play with her ALL the time. Or whenever you can, as much as possible. Show her how much you love her!

5 mins every time you see your dog.

you shouldent have got it if you werent commited

and if ur really smart you would take him for 3 walks a day!

it will tire the poor thing out

30 minutes is a healthy activity level for a dog. It doesn't have to be all at once, but 30 minutes is enough.

take her for long walks and she'll be tired so u wont have to play with her 4 a long time cuz she'll b tired and just want to be letft alone

Cocker Spaniel hah. Playing with a cocker spaniel. Hah. that's what she said. Hah.

I would say everyday for 15+ minutes.

Daily!!!

at least 2 hours a day!

Play constructive games which make her think, mental stimulation is more tiring that physical exercise, consequently she will be less demanding.As with any puppy she should have several play sessions a day.

Try this for a start, it how to teach your puppy to catch treats in its mouth.

It’s very simple to teach a dog to do this. The method I use is to take the dog into a small room (not the bathroom) I then throw a treat in the direction of the dogs mouth from s short distance. If the treat falls to the floor which it does at first; I either stand on it or grab it. It then becomes a race between my dog and myself to get the treat and eventually the dogs wins and catches the treat in her mouth.

HOW TO TEACH YOUR DOG TO FETCH/RETRIEVE.

The ideal location for this is a hall, narrow passage or the kitchen.

Prepare some treats, hopefully not just dried dog food. You will also need a toy or a ball; if it’s a big dog don’t use a small ball as he could swallow it.

Stand at the end of the hall or room and wind your dog up by throwing whatever object that you have decided to use, into the air several times and catching it yourself. Make excitable noises, then throw the object.

If your dog does not know how to fetch/retrieve don’t try to tempt him to do so. Your dog will probably pick up the object and take it to the corner of the room, or under a chair or a table. Go to your dog with a treat in your hand and your dog will drop the object in favour of the treat.

***Wind your dog up again with the object, get him excited and return to the place where you first threw the object from and throw it again. Your dog will pick up the object and then take it to the same place which he took it to the first time. Again offer a treat and he will give the object up.***

Repeat from ***to *** about eight times, however if he looses interest stop and start again the next day. If he is still keen throw the object from the place where he has habitually taken it and he will return there with the object. Show him a treat, exchange this for the object and throw a handful of treats onto the floor. End this exercise and do it again tomorrow. Eventually you can progress to the garden/yard

Don't bore the puppy with sessions that are too long and always end on success.

I've tried a shock collar, and it just makes him hate me and the collar!

Yeah, please throw that shock collar away.

My neighbor used one of those on his dogs and it just made them more aggressive and they would yelp in pain when they crossed the invisible fence line.

There are plenty of safe and natural ways to train your dog to stop barking. I taught my Yorkie how to stop barking with some simple techniques that my friend with 2 retrievers turned me onto:

http://budurl.com/SimpleDogTraining

Lost My Dog - I Lost My Dog, does anyone have any ideas on how I can quickly recover him?

Here is what I did DAILY:

Check all the shelters in your town (in person or online)

Put Lost ads in groomers, vets, pet stores, and all shelters, in parks, and neighborhoods, and a lost and in the newspaper and also on craiglist.

Check the deceased dog list that animal control provides daily (just in case the dog got hit by a car---i hope it didn't!)

The best thing to do is physically search...in neighborhoods and scan through every kennel at the dog pound.

Hope this helps, and I hope you find your dog...

ADD: i also called vets offices to see if anyone had brought in a dog matching my dogs description.

The three places people turn dogs in is to the police station, the animal control office and the animal shelter. Contact all three of them, and check. Then phone the closest three vet clinics to where you lost the dog--in case someone called saying they found a dog. Then start putting up flyers and take pictures of the dog down to animal control AND the shelter to make sure they know what he looks like.

My friends dog now has diabetes after it ate the recalled catfood that made the news about 6 mo - 1 yr ago now.

Her dog almost died of kidney and pancreas failure. he has to give

him 10cc of insulin twice a day now.

Someone told me about a website called

BARF Diet - Healthy & Natural Raw Food For Dogs & Cats, Pet Health Care Food & Nutrition Products Supply Online ( BARF = Biologically Appropriate Raw Food )

he only feeds him dogs a raw diet and the ones that were diabetic were totally cured and didn't have to take insulin anymore once he switched

the diet .

If you think about it, dogs don't eat corn or rice in the wild . They eat raw meat .

I am trying to convince my friend to switch his dog to a raw diet, I think his dog, as well as all dogs , would thrive on it . I am just about to make the switch with my dog as well .

Hope this helps !

Put up fliers with his picture and a phone number. Visit (not call) the shelters in your area. Ask people if they have seen him.

Once you find him, get him microchipped and have a current id on his collar.

I think you should put up signs of the pet.Or asked anyone around if they seen him! :) good luck!

We just adopted a small (15 pounds) terrier mix. He's really submissive and wants to cuddle more than play, but how can I make him more playful and confident?

Give it time. He will come around on his terms not yours.

First of all, let me say "congratulations" on choosing to adopt a dog! You have done a wonderful thing by saving a life and will surely receive more loyalty and love than you could ever have imagined.

I don't know the background of your dog from your question, but just knowing that he was adopted (assuming that by "adopted" you mean you got him from a shelter) he will require extra love, support and time before he feels confident with you. Please understand that his background was in some way traumatic (just being at a shelter is traumatic), and he now must adjust to a completely strange environment and new people.

You can't "make" him more confident and playful. You can just give him love and let him know that he is safe and secure with you. Then, with time, he will "become" more confident and playful on his own. It is not about "obedience" -- it is about feeling secure.

I am a shelter volunteer for nearly a decade and a nationally published writer on dog-related subjects. I also have a Web site called The Happy Dog Spot (http://www.the-happy-dog-spot.com) that deals with adoption issues. Please feel free to read the article about about how to ease the transition with an adopted dog (tip #1 is don't expect him to adjust overnight!). The article address is http://www.the-happy-dog-spot.com/dog-adoption.html.

With lots of love, you will be amazed at how soon your submissive boy radiates with confidence!

Do give it time.

It normally takes about a month before you really see the dog he even naturally is.

Don't try and force too much on him yet and don't even bother trying to introduce him to the world.

As I am involved with rescue then this is the advice I give out when rehoming any dog. I also foster and see this when they come in, so don't worry (yet) and don't make too big a deal about anything.

Good luck, and well done for adopting.

It takes time, let him get settled in a month or 2 and just keep trying to lightly play. He will get the idea sooner or later that its ok to play, he has to trust you and who knows where he has been or what he has been through before you! Good luck!

With lots of praise and attention, your dog will learn.

When you dog is lying on the floor, lay down near it and just softly pet it.

Obedience is a real confidence booster, for both of you! Once he's more confident, I'm sure he'll play.

I went to the circus and I saw lots of little dogs do back flips? I have a 10 month old silky terrier. He is a runt and so he is pretty small. I just would like some tips or pointers.

Thanks o3o

i really don't have a clue umm but first you have to teach him to jump then backflips are advanced tricks

ask the people at the circus

I like the look of a pointer. They are so cute.

my cats been tormented by my dog for years now how can i help my kitty get its revenge with out haveing to do it myself....MOOAHHAHA

run around like crazy and your cat will chase you and his/her claws will attack you. do it around ur dog, andd the cat wil attack the dog. or simply drop the cat on the dogs back and the battle begins.

Lol HaHa!

But maybe when your cat cant stand it he will attack it.

u on crack?

get your cat like 20 friends and create a feline mob...

lol

I have a one year old mini dachshund, she has the best personality and we love her to death. We recently got a new 10 mnth old mini dachshund boy and they play with eachother but I've noticed that my one year old has less of a personality. I want to know if she will get over this (its only been 3 days) or if they need to spend more time together. Any answers would be great!

You didn't do a meet and greet!?! Hopefully they will settle in and become friends. However, keep a close watch on the two and how they interact. Any aggression by the "Alpha" dog may be a clue of what the future could hold. Females Dachshunds become very attached to "Their" owners, and a new dog disrupts the security of the "Alpha" dog. You may have to give the Alpha dog some extra attention time and a few treats more than the new dog. If she sees this, she may become settled and accepting of the new dog.

If it was me, I would probably give them a few weeks. If she doesn't get over it, then I would probably keep them separate when they are BOTH around you, I think you meant that she is jealous when they are around you?? I think...You kind of didn't make sense. But if that is the case, then you should probably keep them separate, only if she is growling and being mean to him though, but if she isn't being mean then she if fine!

I hope this helps

Is there a home remedy for scratched eyeball? Our dog accidentally caught my husband in eye with his paw and it's painful. Trying not to go to doctor.

if its painful enough to go to the doctor Go.... however... humans rely on their eyes soo much that the body will heal them with priority over anything else.... let it water up... have him close it with a warm washcloth over it...

Go to a doctor. . . .

Or are you an illegal immigrant?

Really needs to see the doc, too much risk of permanent injury and infection, just not worth it.

Sorry but his sight isn't something to take a chance on, HE NEEDS TO BE SEEN!

PLEASE HELP!

Why is my 7 year old male maltese dog sneezing and sleeping. he isn't eating his regular food but will eat some human food like cereals

Check his nose. If it isnt moist as usual it is probably a stuffy nose and can go away with alot of fluid and rest. if the dog isnt acting normal take it to the vet. the shot is probably no more than 50 if the dog just has a viral infection.

Because he's sick and needs to see the vet.

I live with my boyfriend and his family right now. But the problem is my mother told me I need to figure out what to do with my dog, because it is my dog and they don't want to take care of it anymore. I don't know what to do because my boyfriend's family already has two dogs (puppy-black lab and old- small mixed breed) under their roof and another (full grown husky) about to come back. Anyone have any advice?

The best thing to do is think about the dog. Will it be happier staying with a bunch of other dogs and with a family that might nor be able to care for all five. Or let it live with people who might have other dogs, can care for it, and want it. I don't know how your boyfriend's family is, if they'll take him/her in and care for it like their own or otherwise, but you should ask your boyfriend and his family first before you make an rash decisions.

Have you asked your boyfriend's family if you could bring your dog to their home? If they're willing to bring the dog in, go that route, so long as you're willing to help financially with things like dog food, etc... You can't expect other people to care for your responsibility forever though. I agree with an above poster that said when you took on the dog, you also took on a lifelong commitment to care for the dog yourself, not just to pawn the dog onto someone else at your convenience. Count your blessings that your mother has taken care of the dog this long, not a lot of people are willing to do so right now.

Otherwise, I'd look into finding a friend or other family member that would be willing to take the dog. If you can, offer financial help to care for the dog while its in their care, don't just pawn the whole responsibility off onto them, know what I mean? If all else fails, you can't find someone to take the dog, or you can't financially afford to support someone caring for the dog, you may need to look into a local shelter or a local rescue to see if they would take the dog, or if they would be willing to help you find a foster home for him.

Get your own place or move back in with your mom. When you decided you were old enough to get a dog, you agreed to care for it for life - not dump it on your mom when you got too busy for it.

Why did you move in with your Boyfriend's family if you knew you couldn't bring your dog?

if your not going to live there permanently then move take the dog home with you

if you not going to get a place of your own the give the dog a chance a get him a new home with some one who can

give it to meeeeee.

no.

i would just keep it. bc its like your forcing them to take care of it bc they dont want it to die.

do they?

no. im sure they dont.

Well, You Need To Either Take It Back to The Shelter, Or Give It Too A Friend. Because There is No Other Way. Im Sorry. I Fell Bad. Its Hard to Let Go.

give it to a nice family that will love it and t5ake care of it.

give it to a family who can take proper care of it

I have a 14 year old male mutt (I think part lab) who snaps and growls when my 12 week old puppy gets anywhere near him. The puppy is a pit bull/american bulldog female. The puppy wants to be around him but he wants nothing of it. I just got the puppy 3 weeks ago. How can I get them to co-exist peacefully? And how long might this take? All suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks

AS long as old dog doesn't hurt the puppy think of grumpy Grandparents. Your old dog is actually teaching your puppy boundaries. Do not scold old dog as this would cause more anxiety for old dog. Let the 2 of them work it out on their own. They should be fine in time. Vet Tech

I have an 11 year old Lab who gets so annoyed at the younger dogs in my house he goes into one of their kennels to get away from them.

A 14 year old dog is usually past the 'playing with the puppy' stage.

You need to take over and give that pup lots of toys, exercise and obedience training.

Don't expect your older dog to 'accept' this little hyper biting and playing machine until he is out of puppyhood.

You have to be careful in these situations dont take your eye off them for a minute. But you can try this put your 14 year old dog into a fenced area where he cant reach the puppy but hold the puppy close to the fence. Repeat this exercise over and over until your dog starts to feel comfortable near your puppy. If he never gets used to your puppy then you should try to find a diffrent approach.

they will stay in my backyard and will come insidewhen its cold or it raining or storming. my back yard is HUGE and it is fenced in. how much should i make the adoption fee?

How many kennels do you have built to house the dogs individually?

How many fenced in play yards do you have?

Are you a dog behaviorist? If you are not are you willing to hire one?

Do you have a good vet that you can pay full fees for each and every dog that comes to you if that vet can't or won't give you discounted rates?

Are you zoned for the type of work you want to do?

Do you have accounting experience to deal with the IRS? If not are you willing to hire one?

How many dogs are you able to interact with on an idividual basis per day? If you obtain too many dogs how do you plan on maintaining that level of interaction with all the dogs?

What are you going to do with dogs that can't be adopted out?

Are the current fences around your yard at least 8' high chain link?

Have you checked with your homeowner's insurance policy?

Do you have experience writing legally binding contracts for the adoptions? If not are you willing to hire someone?

Do you realize that most rescues very rarely have any kind of profit and are more often than not in the hole, the funds coming directly out of the pockets of the directors?

If you make any kind of profit - ie, money that is not immediately put back into your rescue - then you are not a rescue, you are a dog dealer. In order to be a real rescue you won't ever make any money off of this kind of venture. This is a noble cause but it is time consuming and will take more money out of you than you will ever get in return. You've gotten some great answers.

First of all, you'll need a kennel license from your city/county. If approved, which I doubt, since you don't live in an area that is zoned for something like that, you'll have to have a kennel built which will have to approved by your local zoning inspector. After that, you will have to be licensed and bonded and you'll need to get a business license from your local city/county offices. You'll have to establish a line of credit with your vet and company to buy your dog food from, amongst other supplies needed.

I sure hope that you have a LOT of money to back this venture up.

There is a lot more to it than that. It IS expensive to start out and to keep it running, to feed these dogs good food and exercise them etc.

Perhaps help out at your local shelter first.

That is sweet but children shouldn't be running dog rescues - I doubt your parents will let you.

* You need to abide by zoning laws

* There are all sorts of permits

* Not to mention you'll need a lot of food

* Vet care for all of the animals

* Space for them to eat, sleep, play, poo

* Deal with all sorts of behavior issues (from scared dogs, to abused ones, to fear biters, etc)

* Potential for court visits and fines if your barking dogs break any noise ordinances.

Gosh, so much more - this is why you cannot and shouldn't start a dog rescue at your house.

I strongly suggest you volunteer with an existing rescue, either a breed rescue or a small local shelter and foster dogs for them. I don't know of a breed rescue who doesn't need another foster home and many smaller shelter/rescue groups foster their dogs rather than keep them in a shelter as well. I have done it, and it is extremely rewarding. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Many smaller shelters and rescues post with Pet Harbor. See who is already active in your area.

http://www.petharbor.org

If your first question is how much to charge, this isn't a dog rescue. You're just reselling dogs, which would probably violate several laws in most cities, including maximums for # of pets.

The term "rescue" has both legal and cultural meanings attached to it, and the biggest of all is that it is a non-profit group and gets a 501(3)(c) exemption, which is a tax status issue. Otherwise, you'll also have the IRS after you.

LOL?

are you telling me you have enough money to properly train and feed HIGH QUALITY EXPENSIVE dog food?

Dont be so money greedy.

Get a job for that.

Im sure your neighbors will love your idea and when you have a dung mountain with non stop barking.

First thing you have to do is to establish yourself as a non-profit organization. That takes paperwork for the IRS, accounting etc. I looked into it and the firm that would handle everything would charge about $800.00.

If you decide to bypass the 'rescue organization' and want to save animals and adopt them out you will need to report the adoption fees as personal income and pay taxes accordingly.

Give this some serious thought and research.

Not a good idea to have rescue dogs outside, unsupervised. Most of them are escape artists, and you will be legally liable and probably shut down should they escape and cause damage. Then you won't be doing ANY dogs any favors. My advise is to foster dogs from shelters in your area and learn a lot first.

As for the type of dog food, doesn't matter. As long as these dogs are well fed, that's what should matter. Most shelter dogs eat regular grocery store dog food and are just fine.

Apart from the obvious how can i stop our inside' dog chewing our wooden blinds.When i know im going to be out for a while i make sure she has her bones and a couple of her toys as she is a 11mth old shitzu x silky.

spinkle some pepper dogs hate pepper.

ike many undesirable canine behaviors, destructive habits usually develop because a dog is bored, lonely, or both. It's not fair or realistic to expect your dog--especially a working breed --to spend long hours quietly sitting and waiting for your return. By nature dogs are curious and sentient beings; see that she has enough mental and physical stimulation to minimize the impulse to dig and chew.

A friend of mine had that same problem years ago and she used a dog muzzle. It was wire and allowed the dogs tongue to still lap water but kept the teeth from being able to grasp objects to chew. It worked for her and when she got back the first thing she did when she removed it was stick a yummy tasting chew toy in the pups mouth. You could also rub a raw onion on the blinds before you leave. Takes a little effort to train any pup but then again all my expertise is with cats...so good luck....Kat

I would say keep your blinds up but i'm sure you dont' want ppl lookking inside your house. You could block off the area where the windows are with a baby gate?

Can try spraying your blinds with Bitter Apple, or find a toy they like more. I used RMB (raw meaty bones) when my dog was a wee lad.

Kennel the dog or leave it in a bathroom with a baby gate up.

My female is in heat and her discharge is light pink......so i have a friend that has the same breed of dog but a male so I told him to bring him over to my house so the dogs could breed.When the male came my female seemed very flirtacious but the male seemed very disintrested and was more intrested in marking his territory.Please help, i have never bred dogs before

Before breeding, obtain a breed mentor, which you can do when you show your dog in a sanctioned dog show. Your dog should be well on it's way to it's breed championship/working titles before breeding. You should also have all health and genetic testing done, prior to breeding. She needs to be registered with a legit kennel club, such as AKC. You'll also need to have upwards of $1500.00 should she need an emergency c-section due to pregnancy/whelping complications. You'll also need to have lots of vacation time on the books, if you work, because you'll need to be home at least 2 weeks prior to whelping and at least that long after whelping. You'll need a legal contract stating that you'll take a pup back at any time, and for any reason, should someone need to surrender one. You'll also have to honor a health agreement. She will also need regular vet checkups during her pregnancy as well as an ultrasound. You will also need regular checkups after she whelps as well as
the pups. They will also need vaccinations and worming done by your vet.

Why would you even think of bringing more unwanted pups into this world when millions are euthanized in shelters each year? Get her spayed and your friend's male needs to be neutered. They are not breed worthy.

Unless you or your friend are licensed dog breeders, both animals should be neutered ASAP. There are entirely too many dogs euthanized because of people like you who are uneducated about breeding but do it anyway. If you were responsible, you wouldn't consider breeding your dog unless you're prepared to do the work to get yourself licensed as a breeder. It's a big responsibility and you need to understand the implications for the pups, not to mention the dangers to the dog herself, if you decide to breed her, .

I won't be helping you as you clearly have very little understanding of dog breeding. Do a LOT more research before you even consider trying to breed your *****.

Questions you should ask yourself:

Have you done the required health testing for your breed?

Do you have homes lined up for the puppies?

Can you take a puppy back if the new owners can no longer keep it?

Do you have the funds to cover a possible emergency C-section?

Why do you even want to breed? Is it a good enough reason to warrent bringing even more puppies into an already over populated world with so many dogs already in rescue and being PTS for no reason other than they can't find a home?

Please learn a *lot* more about dog breeding, particularly the *ethics* of dog breeding, before you try to breed your dogs. You must be very young not to know about the pet overpopulation problem, and you must not have been on Answers very long to bring up such a firecracker topic.

well it all takes time.let nature take it's course.he'll soon mount her.don't worry.he'll soon go on and mate with her.he's just getting to know ur house and until he is comfortable with ur home,he'll then go on and do his thing.you know these other people don't know crap.you CAN find friends to sell the pups to and you only have one dog right?so you can keep a puppy or two.c-section doesn't even cost higher than 300 dollars.it costs 150-250 and well yeah you should probably have a vet just incase she has a some complications because maybe the pups might be too big.But....C-SECTIONS ARE RARE YOU LOSERS!get ur facts stairght!anyways don't worry but i do suggest to get a vet by ur side as long as you have that ...there's nothing wrong and im sure ur friends aren't ingorant punks that will give the pups back right?so theres nothign to worry about.hope i helped!!!

Before you make a decision like BREEDING you really should know all there is to know about it. If you are not knowelegable that make you a puppy mill breeder rather than a dog breeder. ......My advice read books know the breed and use the internet to its abilities

Since you don't know what you are doing, you shouldn't be breeding at all.

Please go do some serious research on responsible breeding.

For the love of god tell me you're joking?

Leave the breeding to the ones who know what they're doing you silly child.

I won't help greedy ignorant BYB-WANNABES make more unwanted crap!

Can the dog I was dog sitting get it if they were playing together? If I have it can my cats get it?

Dogs that are infected with Giardia shed cysts that can infect other dogs .. Public Health considerations; Out breaks of giardiasis in family groups have been traced to a newly acquired puppy that was shedding infective cysts. All dogs infected should be treated to prevent transmission of the disease to their owners and other animals.

Giardia is usually caused by drinking stagnant water. You see it often in neglected pets. It's a parasite and and is passed through their feces. Don't drink from their water source or handle their droppings and you won't get it. And tell your friend to improve their conditions or be more careful when letting them off leash away from home

Giardia is very contagious and if one dog has it ,it is very likly others in the run does to.Yes you and your cats can catch it if you have been around another pet that has been contaminated.

Giardia is transmitted through direct contact with contaminated water, food, or fecal material from an infected animal.

It is possible.

My mom was recently diagnosed with cancer. She is undergoing treatment. I was considering getting her a Collie as she has been wanting one but with work she didn't have the time. Now she is not working and I thought a dog would lift her spirits. I told her I researched some Collies and she was excited but then said the nurse she couldn't be around animals. Is this true? Why?

I don't think a dog would be a good idea right now. Your Mom is probably going to be very weak from her treatments, so unless there is someone there to look after the dog. Also her immune system will probably be very weak, so the risk of infection would be pretty high. To help your Mom's immune system look into what mangosteen juice can do. It has powerful antimicrobial and anticancer properties

I have a little dog about 6 months old, a chorkie (chihuahua/yorkie), and he gets short of breath sometimes and starts breathing really fast to catch his breath. Do you think he has a lung or breathing problem and is it common in most small dogs?

I have a chihuahua that is 6 years old now, and sometimes when she gets overly excited she will make grunting or breathing noises for 5 to 10 seconds . We pick her up and gently rub her throat and calm her down and it goes away.

I took her to the vet, and she said it is common in some small dogs. Mine has had no other effects, and is otherwise very healthy and playful. But is good to get him tested to see if is common, or anything serious.

My dog can chew through almost everything and we need to get her stuff she wont chew through! Please help!

My PB is a chewer. She can destroy most toys in minutes. I get her the Kong Extreme. They are the black ones. I put in a little bit of the Kong peanut butter stuffing, then a treat, more stuffing and so on. when its filled i put it in the freezer for about an hour then give it to her, It keeps her busy for a couple of hour. I got smaller ones for the puppies.

Yesterday i bought her a Material Dog Kong. Its a snake and it doesn't have stuffing to litter your house. It came with four replaceable squeakers.

They don't last forever but they have the longest life of any toys i have used. I buy Kongs at Pet Smart. They have a whole section of Kongs to choose from.

Rawhides aren't really the best for dogs to chew on. Kongs are great, and you can put a treat or peanut butter inside of it and they'll go at it for hours. They also make a Kong that's for large breeds which also works great for dogs that chew through everything. Those ones are made out of tougher rubber.

Have you tried a Kong toy? You can even get extra strong ones. My dogs love them and have never even put a dent in them! This is what they look like:

http://www.prodoggroomingsupplies.com/images/dog_kong_toy.jpg

Is that your dog in your avatar picture? If it is, cute!

they have these really tough toys at costco for three dollars and you get three and they are the same thing is squeaks and they ahve a tail that might come off although my two dogs couldnt get it off yet and a rope body that is really tough

Kongs are great, need the black ones for power chewers.

Milk Tugs have been lasting well too. http://dogtrainingbyjess.web.officelive.com/milktugs.aspx

Goughnuts are really strong. Great for my parent's GSDs who can rip a Kong apart in a few days.

http://www.goughnuts.com/

Kong toys, and nice big rawhide bones..she will eventuall eat thru it, but its OK for her.

A kong, anything hard rubber.

Kongs are good...

a kong..... or a tennis ball
