My dog,Spitz breed,female ,6 yrs. has not been taking any food for the last 10 days and has gone very weak.After two days of stopping food intake,she was shown to a vet who said that perhaps she has worms in the intestine.Gluco-saline was given by drips.Fifth day she passed yellow stools of bad odour.Drips given again but still no food intake. She refused to even smell her choicest items.On seventh day, we consulted another vet, of great repute. He says she is scared badly and is in a state of shock.We had Diwali festivals in India recently when large amount of fire crackers are burnt. Some produce blasting and exploding sounds of more than 100 decibles. She might have been close to some high sounding cracker.For last 30 hours ,we are holding her in our lap and trying to talk sweetly with her so that she may get assurance that the humans are there to support and she should come out of her fears.All the dog lovers are requested to advice me, what else we can do .

I adopted Lyle (a lab terrier mix) from a shelter on October 1st. He was neutered before I brought him home, and is the sweetest lovable dog ever. He is also a great playmate for my beagle, Daisy. The only problem I have with Lyle is house breaking. He always goes potty when I take him outside. He never goes potty or poo in the house when I'm watching. In fact, I believed he was house brokent after a week because he NEVER (even the day I brought him home) went potty in the house. After about a week, I found that he would wait til I wasn't looking, and go to another room to poo or pee. So I started the crate training like a puppy. He's been doing that for about a month now I think. I let him out for Thanksgiving (hoping that this would be his time) and when I was hanging christmas lights in the kitchen, he went around the corner and left me a poo present. I have NEVER had such a problem housebreaking a dog!!! What do I do?? Will he ever be able to say out of his kennel w/ us?

I am thinking of breeding dogs. My friend from ireland said he breeds them and he'll ship them to me and I can sell them. I was looking at other breeders prices and some were $1900. This is a purebred Jack from Ireland, how much should the pups go for.

PS: I'll have only 2 or 3 at a time.

I only got the shrimp 4 days ago so I haven't done a water change. It spends most of it's time on this piece of bogwood, should I poke it off (as I need to remove it to gravel vac)?

Will it hide while I'm vaccing? Obviously if the tank is dark as the lid is flipped up I won't be able to see very well.

Anyone's experience would be great, thanks!

Hi,
he occasionally gets a bit scabby under his chin!
he scratches and makes it bleed a bit!
last time he had it,he had been wearing a flea collar and the vet said it is a reaction!
well he has not been wearing a collar now for months and it has come back!!
I bought some aloe vera from the vet last time and it did help a bit
any ideas??

thanks

I need him to stop pulling when i walk, he is so so strong and i find it hard to control him without getting tired pretty quick. How can i train him to stop pulling away from me when i walk him. Also how do i train him to heel? He learnt sit pretty quick and i am getting him to do down now a bit too. He has a harness that goes around his legs and back which i walk him with. Any tips would be well appreciated.

Thanks

Anna

What would happen if the world of governments decided to ban breeding for one year to aid shelter dogs in finding a home?

Do you think most people would adopt rather than buy, or do you think people would simply wait until breeding was legal again?

What would the consequence for breeding your dog be?

Who would enforce this law?

Would it really help the situation or would people breed anyway, despite a law that says they cannot?

What would YOU do to make this law work? Or do you even agree with the idea?

There is NO wrong answer here. Please, no thumb downs, accusations or name-calling.

I have heard of and am familiar with AKC - American Kennel Club - but I am starting to see more and more puppies being advertised as APRI registered. What is the difference and in your opinion which is better?

My crested geckos seem to already know how to breed, and quite well. I have two breeding pairs that came to me from my husbands jobs, people just not able to keep them anymore. So now I am having two gravid females pretty much every one and a half to two months. I hate to see the eggs after they lay them dried up and dead. I know that they need a nesting bowl, but where do you go from there? I tried to use some damp substrate and they ended up molding which I took as unviable. So are there any suggestions where to get vermicullite. I have looked all over the place and the only place I can find it is in potting soil that has chemicals which I know is a no no. Any suggestions would help. Thanks alot everyone that answers.

My dog has destroyed my house....He goes to the bathroom all over the place all day everyday. We have spent $500 dollars on dog training and it didnt do anything and people have recommended these trainers! his morning I walk downstairs ad he chewed my livingroom pillow on my very expensive furniture. He eats all of my daughters toys and this morning he chewed her boppy pillow. This dog cannot cost us anymore money. We have tried crating him and he yelps and screams(not good with a baby in the house). We tried locking him in the kitchen and he jumps over the gate. oh and he also goes to the bathroom in the crate and rubs himself in it. Here is the catch, my husband loves him!!!! he knows that we are probubly going to have to get rid of him but he is soooo heartbroken. i dont want to hurt my husband. i don know what to do.

My cat just appeared in my garage a year ago and I've taken her in from then. Shes had 2x litters, this hasn't been a problem as I've always managed to give the kittens off to my friends who are eager to have one, however lately shes been wanting to go outside forever and sometimes don't come back at night and sometimes I can hear her yelling (mating) during the night and this has been really annoying. I was wondering if she will continue to mate and thus yell, if I send her a visit to the vet. TIA

I have an 8 month old Doberman male with Yuguslavian bloodlines in him. He's not fully European though, I would say he's mostly from Irish dogs. (Im in Ireland).

He jumps up on the counters and table in the kitchen to destroy anything he can. We cant keep anything in there, we have the bin in the hall. He put his paw up on the TV, where theres a kind of handle, pulled it and knocked the TV over, thank god it didn't smash, it landed face down on the counter.
He uses his paws like hands.
He steals and destroys anything he can get hold of. He has eaten whole loafs of bread. He scatters the contents of bags if they are accidently left in the kitchen. No matter how far you push the stuff in on the counter, he will get it.

He destroyed his bed, he's gone through 3.

If he sees another dog, or maybe a person on a walk, he is gone like a shot and no amount of calling brings him back.
He pulls on the lead, he pulls less with the prong collar on, but he still pulls.
