My neighbor has a daughter who has a big lab. I have 2 small yorkies. We have a chainlinked fence separating the yards. When the lab comes to visit he charges the chainlink fence and gets under it and in my yard. He has bitten one of my dogs before, dont know if it was playing or not. Needless to say my dogs are terrified of the dog. I am a bit scared of him myself. This has happen multiple times with not even an apology from my neighbor or daugther. Any advice??

My roommate and I just bought a new puppy. We're not for sure if he's house trained (no accidents so far but we've only had him for a couple of hours) and the woman at the pet store couldn't tell us for sure. He's also been nawing on us and pillows. We believe he's teething right now. For the house training, in case he isn't trained, what are ways we can trained him that have worked for others. And how we can we teach him not to naw on certain items. Any info would be great. Thanks.

In case anyone needs or wants to know, he's 4 months old and a terrier/brindle mix.

He's pee-ing on everything. What can I do to stop this? He's too young for a kittly litter box yet.
Thanx.
And, what's a good cleaner to remove the smell/stain?

I am so irrate right now at my barn owner I think I'm going to blow a gasket. I went out to see my horses and noticed the barn owner drenched their stalls down w/motor oil to keep the horses from chewing on the wood but by the looks of my horses, they were wearing as much motor oil as the boards. I was so disgusted I immediately started to scrub the spots off of their faces, muzzles, ears, shoulders, necks, manes, tails, and etc. My one mare is a palomino and to have that mess on her white mane and tail was hard to get out. Its cold here and so I had to be careful not to cause a chill. My biggest concern is the dangers of this being on their coats. They have gotten winter hair coats but some of the areas were pretty thick w/oil and on sensitive areas. I know many moons ago it was normal practice for people to apply motor oil to the hooves but we all know now that this is not a safe practice. I'm trying to find resources on the dangers or causes of motor oil on my horses hair coats.

My dog has had at least one seizure a year since 1999. She hasn't had a seizure for 2 years. This morning she had a seizure that she was in and out of for a total of one and a half hours. During the seizure she started breathing real heavy. Then threw-up. Then she wanted outside and did not want to come in. Then her seizure got real bad. She just lay on the deck going in and out of the seizure. Then after the seizure was over, she just keeps lying around. Breathing heavy. She did eat, and kept it down. But I am still concerned. Her behavior is not like it has been when she has a seizure. She always looks for me before a seizure and I sit on the floor with her throughout, Today she wanted me and my daughter. She has always been a mama's girl. But she has never just layed about for the whole day. She has never gotten sick. Also, 2 months ago we put her buddy to sleep. He was older than she. I know she is missing him. Any advice? What do I look for?

I was watching a show and it showed lots of white mice running around. Not just one or two in a big group of brown ones, but they were all white.

Lately, I've been having a lot of bad dreams about my dog. I've had 5 or so nightmares of my dog dying of various causes - cancer, drowning, running away, my mom putting him down, old age.

I've had my dog for over 7 years and he's running strong. I recently left for college, but come home every weekend just to be with him. I think more about him than anything else!

Has anyone had similar experiences? (This always happens to me on vacations, going to summer camp, sleeping over at friends house, etc...)

I have a shih-tzu and when we bathe her at home, she only smells good for about 1-2 days. We take her to the groomers and she smells great for about 2 weeks. How do they do it??

My boyfriend's barn cat had kittens, on Friday we wanted to take one of them home (she'll be six weeks and two days). We just want to make sure that she is old enough to be taken away or should we wait until we see her eating real food? Thank you!!

My 3-year-old miniature pinscher has this little moving lumpy thing inside her lower stomach where her last nipple is on the right side, right above her genital. If you touch it, it kinda moves around in there.

We were palpating it around and after a while, it disappeared (and we keep trying to find it again but to no avail). I'm still going to take her to the vet tomorrow to ask them what it could be. She also has this tiny little lump on her leg so I should kill two birds with one stone and ask about that as well.

She hasn't been neutered yet (although I've been seriously considering it for a while now). What are the chances that this is uterine/breast cancer? Are there free-roaming tumors that like to just float around as they please?

my female dog keeps getting into my lap when i'm at the computer. Is she trying to find a nice boy dog or just trying to figure out how to use it so dogs can take over?

I adopted her today, at first i noticed she had a real big belly! So did all the other pups. Looked as if they'd been eating to much! It looked as if they were leaving food down all the time, cause the bowl was big and full and they were eating as they pleased. I've heard a puppy can over eat if you leave to much food down , and get sick. SO later on this evening she started having diarreha real bad, like just running out of her!! After that she sarted throwing up. She threw up what looked like chunks of food, and then it got softer next time she thrrew up! Threw up twice!! I just wonder if she could of ate to much! She hasn't ate here yet, i tryed feedin her earlier but she wouldn't eat not even a treat! Now she is sleeping again. I am worried about her, and tomorrow i have to work all day til 5;30 !! I have to work and have money to care for her you know, but i hate going in with a new sick puppy !! I have no choose ! I will have to leave her in her porter, other dogs may hurt her

When I was carving a pumpkin, I dropped a couple little tiny pieces and he ate them. Is that okay?
