My puppy is getting spayed next week and i have ordered her a soft e-collar (a cone- but soft made with fabric) and i ordered it too small and have to send it back and exchange it for a larger one that cost more... is it really worth all this work. My puppy is a 5 month old germain shepard husky

My 16 week old puppy has suffered motion sickness on the last to trips out in the car. He sits in the boot of my estate car.
I have been told that there may be several reasons for the sickness...and that he may grow out of it as he matures..?
Any advice from some experts would be great...please.

We just adopted two lab mix puppies, who are sisters, both 9 weeks old. They are very attached to each other, so we are trying to care for them seperately (seperate walks, seperate feedings,ects) I am looking for any advice on how we should handle these two very attached girls!

Thanks!

I recently adopted a 9 month old Chihuahua and I'm having a hard time training him to not use the bathroom in the house and not to growl or bark at our german shepards, among other tings. I want to teach him to be a good little friend and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions Thank you!

I have an older (i think 13 yrs old) poodle/shitzu mix, that i got 2 yrs ago to save from being put in the pound. I am going Monday to pick up a new puppy. My poodle/shitzu gets along great with bigger dogs and cats, but i'm worried she will hate the new one. How can i help her adjust without yelling or having to punish her when the new one gets here?

I have two cats in my home that are a very big part of my life. I am interested in getting a ferret, but i don't want to keep him/her in a cage all the time. Is it possible for the three to coexist in my home without hating one another? Will they share the litter boxes??

The idea of buying a foal hadn't presented itself untill now. I am a first time buyer and was wondering if this is a good or bad idea. My current trainer would be able to help me train the foal. I was going to buy my own horse so that I could start showing him or her in 2007 but I do have other horses that I can ride for a few years untill the foal is older and ready to start training under saddle. Your advise will be greatly appreciated!!:)

They are 4 weeks old and they smell. I'd like to give them a bath before owners come and get them at 6 weeks, but I would give them one now too if I knew it wouldn't hurt them because they are smelly!

I have 1 hamster.I thought that she would be much easier to take care of but since then shes grown an gotten faster.Everynight that she hasnt already found a way out of her cage she gets out of it somehow.(((( its why i call her hammy houdini... ))))).Its become routine to get out of bed at 4:00am to catch her.I always inspect her cage an i already put strong tape on all the holes on her cage.I also have a theory that the only reason why she lets me catch her is because she knows the cage means free food but she also wants play time.I have multiple experiences with her tricking me.

i tell you all of the stories of her but i dont hav room to. well actually, i might have enough room but i dont like typeing cuz it brings me back to elementry school.
PS. shes an evil genious i think

My neutered dog will sometimes try to hump guests. There are two people that my dog will always try to hump. The other people, he only tries to hump if they are playing with him a lot or if they are being really noisy.

I'm very good at knowing when my dog is about to hump, so I call him over to me and have him sit before he even starts. Is this the best I can hope for?

In addition 10 or 12 others that were in the same pasture were sick to varying degrees. Symptoms were bloating, colic, the ones that didn't die had diarrea, one got really dehydrated. All had normal temps. The most adversly affected were young mares pregnant with their first foal, including the two that died. Necropsy showed no worms or sand in intestines. Four different vets said it had to be something toxic to affect that many horses. Blood samples showed nothing and samples of their feed have been sent off, but most poisons affect the nervous system and the only thing I saw was yawning (can't remember what that's called). Has anyone else ever heard of anything close to this? I have looked extensively on the internet, but can't find anything with the same symptoms. One more thing, we have had dought conditions for several months. If you have any ideas, please answer so I can do some more research. Thanks for any help!

Sorry kinda long.......
i am reserching alot of dog breeds to find one that will make the best companion for me and my family=) . My family just got my cousins cottage and since there are animals on her large "Forest" property we actually need a bigger dog to protect us in an emergancy. My mother (i am still in high school) wants a dog that is not too big which means no bermease mountain dogs ect=( We have 2 cats so it can't be a malamute or siberian husky cuz they might kill them and not a lab or golden retriever because they would lick the "killer" to death(no not literally). I found out a finnish spitz might work and i want to know if any one knows things anout them, first hand or research.

Sorry the question is long thanks for the help

I was just curious about what types of food everyone feeds there dogs. Alot of the cheaper foods, have awful ingredients that can damage your dog's health. Anyway, I feed ProPlan Selects to my Chihuahua.

We brought a new puppy home (a Lhasa Poo). We thought we had found a puppy that my wife wouldn't be allergic to. It has been in the home for a week now, and my wife is having allergic asthma attacks and getting worse. It has become apparent that my wife and the dog can't live together. What do we do to find the puppy a new home?

I have a 8-year old yellow lab who normally gets his dinner around 7pm - with the days being shorter in the winter it now gets dark around 5 and he starts acting out - running to his food dish repeatedly and then starts barking at us if we don't pay attention.

I don't want to give into this behavior but at some point my upstairs neighbors are going to complain.

Any ideas?
