Pets - 12 November 2006

We just got a 10 month old Saint Bernard puppy. She was already named when we got her. My husband wants to change her name but I think that it would be mean to change it. She is already almost a year old and has learned her name is is used to it.
If we changed it would it affect her in a negitive way or would she just eventually forget her old name and get used to the new one?
So do you think it is or isn't wrong to change it?

(Her name is Hannah)

My dog is two years old, about 8months ago she started licking and even biting her front paw. Vet says it may be anxiety, and he ran a test that showed no parasites. Sometimes she bites it so much it bleeds. Other thing Ive noticed (and still vet says its nothing) is she is loosing hair on her back legs (inner thighs?). Lately I even think she is biting her back paws too. She has no fleas, and aside from taht is very healthy. Sheds like crazy, but I believe its from bitting herself so much, she kind of pulls her own her out.
I dont think it has to do with what she stands on 'cause we used to live in an apartment were she spent all day on carpet. Now she has a patio to go out to once in a while (mostly dirt), but she spends most of ehr day indoors (tile) the only thing remains teh same is taking her to the park, lots of grass.Could it be something on the grass???
please help me.. I think she is very uncomfortable, and maybe even in pain, by bitting her own paws....

We recently found a young cat with frostbitten ears who was amaciated, had a bloody nose, a broken tail, and runny stools. She also seemed to have a bad rectal infection. She was very sweet and social. She was very weak and starving. We had given her a bath and some moist food. I kindof got worried when a friend said she may have distemper and that it was fatal in cats and humans. The day after we found her we took her to an adoption center so she could be treated and placed in a new home.
What are some symptoms o distemper? she didn't seem terrebly ill- just an infection and runny stool and very hungery. They eye-gooer I see in most wild cats and most other wild cats I see have very poor fur quality. I really don't wan't the disease passed onto my pets or myself. What should I do if I suspect she had it?

We had our seven month old Boston Terrier spayed on Thursday. She came out of it really well, and since Friday has been her normal self. The vet said to try to keep her quiet and calm, but she has been scampering around the house and getting up and down on furniture (sort of hard to stop her, since she's a little imp about that!)
She's acting fine, obviously not in any pain and not licking her wound. I'm not even sure she knows it's there right now.. However, the incision site is alittle red and weepy, and it is pink and swollen looking. She doesn't mind us touching it and doesn't seem bothered. Is this normal? We'd planned to call the vet tomorrow (it's Sunday and they're closed.)

I gave him this after a bout of GI problems, per the Vet, but after symptoms went away he continued to like it better than dog food.

Vet x-rayed her insides because she was bleeding in stool but thinks she is ok. Now she isnt pooping at all and doesnt want to drink. I didnt think sheetrock could kill a dog and she only chewed a bit. Please share! I will take her back to vet on Monday.
