Pets - 29 December 2006

I have a dog who constantly licks a little spot on her "wrist" and she is now devoid of hair there. There are times she gets it quite red. She's a lab/aussie mix, and I know they're prone to nerves, but this is nuts! (Or is it?)

I would love to get one, but I don't know anyhting on the breed. Do you know if they bark, are good alone, or are good with other pets.

I know it all depends on the certain dog you get but i wanted to know if anyone had some breed charateristics.

please dont send me to a dog website...I'm not an idiot.

I have a Retriever/standard poodle puppy who is growing very fast. He is now 3 mos. old and was happy eating 1 cup of dog food three times a day but he seems to be hungier. Today he was crying and we gave him more food and he just wolfed it down. How much do you suggest we feed him? Makes sense he is twice as big now we should give him two cups twice per day or so. What do you think? We feed him Iams puppy chow. He is about 20 lbs now and we expect he will grow to be 75-100 lbs.

my family just got a kitten, and i know that when you want to switch brands of cat food, you need to gradually switch them. but i was wondering if you have to do that for the flavors of the same brand also? or does it not matter?

thanks:]

We have a 8month old male boxer (not neutered), He is pretty house trained but he wants outside at least 1x an hour, sometimes it constant, in and out like 3-4x an hour. I am well aware he loves to be outside, my concern is that everytime he goes outside, i believe he is actually peeing. Is this normal??? He will stand at the bad door and whine until u let him out. He doesint seem to have a prob with bladder control, since he no longer pee's in his crate or in the house, but he always wants to go outside!! ANy advice??

Vets report more disease and much greater level of dental decay in dogs over the last 20 years. I hear in US they even have dog dentists for god's sake!

This coincides with the introduction of the widespread use of commercial dry and canned food.

I often work in the country and I notice dogs fed on meat, bones and scraps seem to be in superior health to those feed the convenience diet of a can or some dry.

Some country vets have told me the natural, unprocessed diet is the best.

Can man produce food in some factory as good as nature or is he just having him self on?

Some owners who feed the commercial stuff tell me their dog likes it and he seems ok but I wonder about the long term effects on a dog of a diet that may be internally foreign to him.

I encounter a lot of old dogs who develop degenerate diseases which some vets suggest is due to a processed diet with is unbalanced and deviod of a lot of enzymes.

CDF is convenient, cheap and less work for the owner.

Is it possible for a parakeet to not be able to lay an egg, and then have the egg become stuck inside it? If so what would cause this?

Will it be ok to board my 11 week old english bulldog. My husband and I are going out of town and it is hard to find a hotel that will take a dog. We want to bring him but if we cant I was wanting to know if it would hurt him (emotionally) to leave him with the vet boardered for about a week. I don't want him to forget me.

I have a nine-month old bassett hound who seems to be panting more today than usual. It's a few degrees warmer in the house than normal, but it's only around 62 degrees. His activity level is the same, and the only thing that seems different about him is that he might be warmer than usual. He was at the vet a couple of months ago, and he didn't have any heart or lung problems at that time. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I would like to feed my dog a well balanced diet that is the optimum available. I have an 80 pound Chocolate Lab female and I want something to keep her joints in good health as well. I'm not sure which is the best organic dog food as I have never fed her any organic or natural foods..she is on Science Diet right now and I have heard recently some not good things about that. Tell me how your pets have responded to organic foods.
