I have a purebred male Rott and and purebred female Chow. My chow just came into heat and we didn't realize it. I don't think they succeeded in mating but I was wondering if they did would it kill her to have the pups? And would it ruin her from producing purebred Chows in the future? I heard that once a purebred is mixed w/ another breed, they are ruined and will forever produce mixed dogs. Is this true?

I have two children, daughter is 9, an animal lover and very responsible, my son is 7, handicap and in a wheelchair so he will not bother the dog. Can anyone tell me if a Great Dane is a good family pet? Also, How about allergies? Do they shed? My family can not have a long haired dog that sheds alot! Any information will be very helpful! Thanks a bunch!

I had to take the cat and kittens to the vet because the cat and kittens are full of fleas. I needed to find out what they weigh so I will know what to do for them, and to get advice.

When the cat, kittens, and I got back, I gave them time to calm down from the trip. Now the mother won't have anything to do with her babies!! A vet told me to put mommy alone in a room with the babies so they can bond again. We got home 4 hours ago, plenty of time for the mom to settle down from the trip, etc, but she still refuses to be with the babies unless I lock her in the travel carrier with them.

What can I do to get her to bond with the babies again? They are begging for her attention, for her to feed them and snuggle with them, but she just lays outside of the carrier and won't pay attention to them! What can I do? I need to use the flea comb on the babies again but don't want them away from their mother again right now.

About 2 hours ago, I woke up to my dog (laborador retreaver) favoring his right side, seeming unsteady, sometimes walking in circles. However, he's very responsive. Eating, using the bathroom, following commands, wagging his tail. Any idea as to what this is? Is it an emergency?

My 1 1/2 year old Cairn is constantly scratching herself, licking & biting at her legs. At one point she had some spots that were almost bald.

She's been on antibiotics & prednisone twice & that seems like the only time she has any relief. The vet says she can have benedryl, but I don't want to overdo it - I want to figure out what's wrong. I don't think it's seasonal, because this has been ongoing through the winter until now. The vet recommended trying different foods & so far she's scratched her way through sensitive skin & venison varieties.

We also have to get her anal glands emptied almost once a month.

Any ideas?

I have a pitbull terrier. I have found that I am very selfish with my dog. So much to the point that I do not want to mate her. I could make a lot of money, but I do not want to see her all blown up. I definately do not want the after effects of having puppies. So do you think that is crazy? What would you do? Inquiring minds want to know.

I have a baby to and whenever we are on the floor with Logan (baby) Hunter (puppy) will not stop bringing the ball or rope. Even outside he always bringing ball or rope. Are all cockers this pesky? I got an email once saying that cockers want to plat to the point of annoynce but I thought he was kidding. Are all cockers just out too play??? They are the cutest dogs but he won't ever leave me alone

My german spitz/pomeranian dog is crazy and hates everything. Especially dogs more than anything. He's already seven years old and I adopted him when he was two from a rescue and we think he was abused. I tried training him, but it didn't work. Does anyone know of a way to help him?

Parvo is a fatal virus that makes dogs dehydrated. You would not tell a human that is being dehydrated no water for 24 hours. His advise would have killed my dog. Thank god for the internet. We found out what parvo was and called a family friend that has many dogs. She set us on the right track. Now knowing that the vets advise could have killed my dog is there anything I can do to help others know not to bring their dog there because he might not be giving the best care?

My new puppy is very aggressive and he has like an anger issue. It's especially hard for us, because our older dog is very shy, nice, tamed, and very tolerant. Our new puppy likes to growl and "attack" people, which we're trying to break. We tried to make him sit down for a long period of time and say "no" repeatedly, as it worked for my older dog. My puppy tries to run away, and it whimpers very loudly and continuously, as if we're abusing him, and we hate the noise. So, we tried to sternly say "no", but that doesn't work either. Please give us some firm and workable advice. We really need it. Thank you.

He has been o.k. until now. He wants to run, but I can't go as fast or as far as he would like! He has been with my other 2 dogs and they get along fine! He jumps our 4 foot fence and goes swimming most everyday! He has good food and water, but he has found a way out and he just keeps chewing the fence into peices! Then he makes a hole and he is gone! We keep replacing the pickets, but he chews them up. Our vet said not to fix him due to it shorting his life span. I have never heard of this, but this vet is the best in our city!! So I have to trust him, right!? Anyway, please help me before my husband and I get a divorce over this!!!! And yes I have tried to find him a home in the country. One of our foster children brought him when she came to live w/us 3 1/2 years ago. She ended up in jail and I couldn't put the dog to sleep. Any help would be great!

I have a cat that never goes outside, but some how got a few fleas. Looking for the best product to get rid of them. I don't want to try a bunch of products to find out the best one. too much money and the cat will probably not like it. If you have found a good product I would like to know.....
