I have a minature poodle. He's around 11 years old, but since he was 4 or 5 he occasionally gets what my family and I call seizures. They usually happen in the winter although they have happened in the late fall and well into the spring. What happens: He is fine, then all of a sudden he wants to be right next to you and won't be more than an inch or two from you (he was weaned too early and has always been a "momma's boy" but not like this), then within 15 or 20 minutes he forceably stands, stiffens his legs, shakes uncontrolably (similar to when they're cold or scared but with more power, NOT like when they shake the water from their fur), and has a hard time breathing. He also makes himself walk away from us and alternates walking stiffly away from us and standing still, the whole time gasping for breath. He will allow you to pick him up, but only if you hold him gently and take him outside. If you try to cottle him he wiggles away and starts over. This will last anywhere from 2 - 6

He is usually a very good boy and goes to the patio but sometimes when he is alone, he pees in the livingroom or similar rooms, I have tried some sprays like "get off" that I bought in a pet's store.

My boxer (male, 9 months old) just started acting funny a couple of hours ago. I don't think it is anything medical/physical. My mother (who the dog usually adores, he is her baby) just moved in with us about 3 weeks ago. This morning he was acting fine, then started to look at the ceiling and get the shakes. My mother says it's because the spirit of her mother tagged along with her to this house, and now the dog is picking up on it. At first I thought "ok, whatever old woman" but now since she has said this.....the dog is trying to avoid her at all costs. This is the woman he is always around and sits with all day on the couch. I dismissed it at first, but it has been about 2 hours and it's not getting any better.

I can't believe I am saying this.....but could he be picking up on something. I also wondered about if she hurt him in some way, but my mother would never hurt any animal.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Well not a real seizure but he gyrates his whole body, bites, claws, etc. whenever he even sees the nail clipper.

But the weird thing is, whenever my dad takes him to the office a secretary there clips his nails without a problem.

So how can I get him to stay calm and not be so afraid of nail clipping???????

Why is it that when you beat a dog, you've committed animal cruelty but when you catch a fish on a hook (for fun), and let it go, its legal? And considered a sport.........

Bobby is very actitve with a good appitite and drinks enough water but she(i'm not sure he or she)
wants to taste anything I put in my mouth. When the sun goes down, she wants to go to sleep in her
cage like it would be normal, but in the day, with the sun shining , she still will take a nap on her perch, not where she sleeps at night. I would be grateful
for any information anyone can give me to make sure this wonderful pet gets the best care I can give her. Thank you !

I just got a brand new 1 gallon fish tank. When I set that tank up I also set up another 1 gallon that I have had. They both now have bubbles to the point that they are overflowing. I haven't added the fish yet because I was waiting on them to stabalize. Now I'm afraid to add them in case the tank is unsafe. I never had this problem before with the older 1 gallon and I've never had this problem with my 10 gallon. There is nothing that I can think of... I don't use soap when washing them, I use fresh distiled water. If there is anything that you can think of please help! I really need to get my new fish into their tanks.

Hi, I have a wonderful, adorable 6month old little boy, Chihuahua. It is very cold here so I haven't been able to train him to go potty outside so we are using those ridiculous puppy pads. He doesn't tend to always use them, he randomly pees and poos other places. I praise him when he does go on the pad and try to catch him and pick him when he doesn't. Any helpful hints?

He gave her a shot of vitamin K, and gave me a prescription for 60mg vitamin per day for one week. He did a blood test at the office, and is sending out more blood for a CBC (I think). My question is, is it necessary to give her the high dose for so long, the blood test in the office came out fine. We should know the results of the 2nd test by late tomorrow, or monday. Is it necessary to get the full prescription, or could we just give her another shot tomorrow. As of right now, she's running around as normal. No unusual behavior at all. She weighs 50 lbs.
