Pets - 1 November 2007

my dog continually itches herself. she had fleas, but we've taken care of them and i brush her and examine her skin regularly. i havent seen any fleas for awhile. however she has been itching and biting her hips and tail lately, to the point where her tail is covered in scabs! i have tried to put medication on them, and try to keep her from itching, but she still does it. i havent found fleas in forever, so i dont think its them. any ideas on a dog skin condition?

(I know they cost more to upkeep, but as far as offering price goes...)

Thanks =)

I rode english for a short while about 6 yrs ago and I want to try it again. I don't know alot about english saddles so I need some help. I am looking on line at a few used ones. All of them are in good condition . One is a Coubette,2 Crosby,2 Stubben, 1 Borelli, 1 Kincade. Can anyone tell me from personal experience which brands are the best and which ones to stay away from? The Courbette is only $89.00. It is older but looks great. Is that a good deal? It has rather large flaps though and my horse is only 13.1 hands. Ok all you english riders...please help! What do I need to look for in an english saddle?(Brand, fitting,style,comfort) I will only be using it for trail riding and maybe lessons but I want something with a good resale value in case I decide not to stick with it.
My mare uses a 6" gullet westen saddle. What size should I look for in english? She 13.1 hands and is not real wide and her withers are average(maybe a little on the low side).

She is a 2 week old boxer. I give her formula a few times a day and try to make sure she has time on a nipple but the difference in size is getting bigger. And I'm very worried. Any suggestion would be helpful.

My dog has extreme acute agoraphobia, and we have tried everything for him. We've tried anti-co evasive drugs, anti-anxiety medications and nothing seems to help other than letting him run around outside with a box over him.

Any suggestions for how we can help him to get over this?

This morning, when giving my mice a treat I noticed one of them looked bad. I took her out and noticed that her anus is blocked by hard feces, about 0.5 cm wide and going inside her for about a cm! I couldn't find a vet who is working today and I don't have any laxatives. I thought I'd bring her to a vet tomorrow.
She grew weaker through the day. At some point her anus must have split at one side, although I don't see any blood. Now she doesn't respond to anything. As a desperate measure, I put her in a tupper with 1.5 cm warm water in the hope this will loosent the feces and I will be able to help them out. Normylly, she'd jump right out of it, but now she doesn't have the strength to do it. I am afraid she'll die soon. What can I do for her, it's 12 hours until the vet opens? Please please help!!!

I have an almost 2 year old female pit bull. she is the most wonderful dog. she sleeps with me and always finds a way to get on the recliner with me. She gets along with my 3 other dogs and 3 cats and even though I've tried to keep her socialized she is animal aggressive, always has been. I have a fenced yard and walk her in the evenings. Recently, she lunged and snapped at a friend and wouldn't stop. It was like a totally different dog, really aggressive. I'm afraid she's become people aggressive. She is BIG, about 85 lbs. What would happen if she ever got loose? I thought about humane euthanization and being there with her at the end, but that thought makes me sick. However, if I take her to a shelter, I don't want her to spend a few weeks in a cage only to have them euthanize her all alone without me there. I thought about adoption but I can't be sure she'll be taken care of and not abused or fought. I don't know what to do. please help.

I have 4 dogs, 1 cat.. and I also pay for my moms dogs vet visits. In the last month I have spent $600 in vet bills. 3 of the dogs are due for their annual. My vet is very pricey, but I feel odd asking if I can get a discount. Should I? Is this common?

*I would have never ended up with this many animals.. but in the past year I have homed 2 emaciated dogs that were roaming my neighborhood.

Earlier, I posted a question about Spousal Abuse. But isn't the abuse and neglect of precious animals. Just as tragic? And should anyone, who is convicted of mistreatment, neglect, or abuse of these creatures. Be sentenced any less severely. Than if they had done the same to a person?
