Pets - 26 November 2007

My female is a GSD. I know some small breeds will go back to back. I have heard to wait 2 years and some say just miss a heat. Does anyone have info. I even have opposing info from different vets.

Thanks so much,
karen

My 13 month old liver and white ESS hasn't had a season yet, she has begun beating work this season and amongst most of the other beaters apparently late seasons seem to be quite common amongst ESS with some experiencing 16months upto 2years. Anyway the thing with Molly is she is very slim, although she is a beautiful dog and in proportion she ways around 14kg when she should way around 18kg for her size. She is on a high protien working dogs complete meal and enjoys her food however, when she has had enough she simply stops eating often leaving most of her food (she is presented the same amount of food as my 10mth old ESS who eats all her meal and is a perfect weight with plenty of muscle mass). Sorry about the long question, I'm just completely stumped!! I'm not really concerned about her weight as the vet and ourselves have concluded she's just naturally very slim with a high metabolism. I just wondered if the lack of season and skinniness could be related? Thanks everyone X

I will be using it tonight, for the first time. I was just wondering! It says that it is non-irritating. Has anyone ever had a problem, with the product stinging their dogs ears, when put in? What kind of results, did you get with your dogs ears, when you used it, and do you recommend it?

He's still a very young pup, so age is not a factor.

This is so cool! I just saw a commercial for Progressive Insurance, and they now offer Pet Injury Insurance for accidents. It covers vet bills, etc. if you dog is injured in an accident. hat do you guys think? Has anyone else heard about this, and if so do you know more details? (I'm really interested but I don't want to call and be harrassed about buying a policy.)

I have a 6 yr old yellow lab and i noticed her randomly shaking twice. Yesterday she was laying on the couch and all of a sudden started to shake for about a minute or 2. She just did the same thing about 5 minutes ago. Does anyone know why she would be doing this?

My sisters best friends 1 year old son was mauled on Thanksgiving by a pitbull. I am not a huge dog lover, but I have always thought that pitbulls were misunderstood, beautiful creatures. Now I am so torn. My dad has a pit that I gave him, and she is wonderful... Do you think all pitbulls are potentially dangerous?

My Cat had a small tent that he would walk in and out of
he loved it he would hide in it and I'd put a string in front of it and he'd attack it he destroyed his tent he poked all kinds of holes in it I had to throw it out last night because the metal parts that hold the tent up were sticking out and the way he jumped and tackled it he might have injured himself.

I feel bad because he really loved his tent and he's looking for it today someone gave it to me for $2 does anyone where they sell them online?

How does a twelve year old girl start a petsitting business? My little sister was wondering how to start a pet business to earn some money to pay for new cages for her pets. She was planning on walking pets and watching them when their owners are on vacation. If she can how much should she charge? Thanks!!!

i mean she eats anything she finds on the floor, candy wraps, buble gum, q-tips, insects I'm afraid she might get sick. We have to follow her around to avoid her from eating what she's not suppose to. Plus she is a little stealer she steals toys even my niece's bottles and pacifiers.... any suggestions???

We just got a Maltese/Shitzu mix and he has tear stains. Someone told me you can put them on a special diet that helps them not have tear stains. Is this true? Is there a product we can use when bathing him too?

I have a puppy that is about 4 months old and he is always peeing. i know that when they get excited they have a tendacy to do this but i want it to stop. i've been told i should get him fixed because it will make him pee less, but i will not do that to him. i love him to death but he gets on my nerves. how long does this hyper personality and frequent urination usually last?

Please help!, My kitten is like 7 weeks old. I just got him about a week ago and put him on moist kitten food. However his stomach seems to make this really profound noise similar to the sound of a helicopter, not as loud of course. When I hold him I can feel his stomach vibrating when this noise occurs. He doesn't seem too bothered about it, he's just aware its happening and tries to get comfortable hoping it would stop.

Is this something I should be worried about?

I haven't taken him to the vet yet as I just got him last week, he also seems to itch quite often but not excessively.

Please help, do you think something might be wrong with him?

Thanks in advance
