Too much grain maybe? Not enough pasture? The next stable he went to was just great for him and he's never been sick again. It seems so strange to me because the first stable was the more expensive and it was beautiful and the owner was snotty lol. The next one was your typical down home old rickety barn and he was super happy there. Any ideas?

She's a Aussie/bordercollie mix - great puppy, no complaints. She is extremely active but I love it - keeps me in check. However, she goes crazy with people and other dogs. When I take her for walks, she wants to say hi to EVERYONE she sees which is a pain b/c i have to pull her from trying to run to them - after which she whimpers as she stares back :(. When people come over to visit she gets extremely excited and wants to run to them. If I keep her behind the doggie door she just barks and wants to get out. When we do let her greet people she goes CRAZY! She crawls to them, jumps on them, licks their hand, rolls on her side/back to get her belly rubbed, the whole 9. Its great that she's is good w/people but I dont want her to just be friendly to just anyone plus it can get annoying to the people. Is she just being a puppy? will she grow out of it?
PS - she is going to puppy class and is very smart...its just this issue...thanks

I want to get my puppy to the point that I can give him free reign of the house when I am not at home.

He is 6 months old and not very trust worthy. He is however, completely house broken.

He just likes to eat everything.

He sleeps on his dog bed at night in my room and does very well with that but, I do crate him when I am at work during the day. I let him out twice during my work hours b.c I am so close to home.

How can I start weening him from his crate into the house? Any ideas?

She has accidently gotten out twice and she has went and bitten two different dogs..the latest last night. She is really good with my children. We have had her since she was five months old. When we got her the people before us abused her and didn't feed her properly. I knew of the pit bull's backround but hoped if I raise her like one of my own children she would not turn out like her breed. Does she realize what she is doing is wrong? My kids have gotten attached to her as my husband. I am ready to give her up as I do not think there is anything we can do for her as I feel if given the chance she would bite again. I am just writing to see what other opioins are and are greatly apperciated.

I got a kitten on Friday. I got her from my local vet. They found her in some ones yard and took her in. THey think she is about 3 months old.
i brought her home and she has been hiding ever since.
she only comes out at night when everyone is sleeping and she cries all night long. like a kitten who was seperated from its mother.
i leave food out for her and i try and find her but i have a big house.
Do i let her be and let her come out on her own? She came out of hiding for a little while last night. but as soon as she sees some one she runs.
Is there anything i can do???

I understand that animal testing is SOMETIMES alright.. but high schoolers dissecting? Just enlighten me, please.

This type of thing should be reserved for graduate study/med school. These kids have learned nothing. I dissected 3-4 things in middle school-and can't remember what the "lesson" was.

Please help. My neighbor thinks it OK to leave her miniture Chihuahuas outside all day (10-12 hrs). I live outside DC and the avg temp is in the high 30s to mid-low 40s. These poor dogs are suffering and she does not think there is anything wrong with leaving them out all day.

What is the coldest temp that you think 5lbs and 7lbs Chihuahuas should stay out in for extended periods of time?

I am waiting to hear back from animal control to see if they will talk to her.

I have a little Black molly and it is around 4 or so months old, but still really small (less than half inch size) I want to know what it is so I can name it. I already know HOW to tell the difference between the sexes, but my mom says you can't tell yet since it is so young/small. My question is are they born with the right parts, or do they develope after a certain age? As of right now it looks female, but I don't know, since it is so young.

Hello again! Thank you to the many people who answered a similar question for me a while ago. But I'm back and I'm still looking for a puppy. I'm going to be a first time dog owner and I'm looking for a small-med dog. I've been looking at French Bulldogs, Pugs, cocker spaniel, schnauzers ect? From all the reading I've done smaller dogs are more difficult to train. Being that this is going to be my first I'd prefer something that has easier training capabilities. I love pugs but I hear they're hard to train and that they shed ALOT...is there anyone out there who can help?
I want: a cuddly friend, small-med size (something to take to work with me everyday) doesn't shed ALOT, isn't incredibly hyper, and is somewhat easily trained.

I know getting a puppy is alot of work. But since I'm a novice I feel like having as many cards in my hand as possible is the best idea!

Thanks for you time!!

I have a pomeranian, he's about 7 years old, I got him from a pet shelter 2 years ago. At that time his hair was full and fluffy, now he seems to be losing hair on his behind, the bald spot seems to be getting bigger and bigger. I don't have the money to take him to a vet, does anyone know what could be causing his hair to stop growing and turn bald?? It appears to be very dry and scabby where he has lost his hair. What can I do to get his hair to grow back?????????

Originally we had bought 2 puppies, and had to give one of them away cause training both of them at once was just impossible. The puppy that we have now was doing very good at going on some puppy pads that we were told to try, cause everything else just wasn't working. And on top of that the weather outside is absolutely freezing, so we don't want to take her outside when it is often not even 10 degrees and make her sit until she pees. But we seem to be having a problem now that we recently gave the other puppy away...she will only go on the puppy pad sometimes, whereas before she was doing very good. Since it is so cold outside we have decided to train her to go on her puppy pad until she is a little bit older and can endure the cold weather a little bit more. Is this a bad way of training her? And why is it that all of a sudden she has to be almost re-trained after we gave the other puppy away? Any help would be very much appreciated.

So, why do puppies bite so much? More and more my puppy wants to bite my feet, face, ect. Whenever, he does this I give him a chew stick. He's been chewing it near an hour. Why does he need to chew so much? Also, is it okay for me to give it to him to occupy his time while he sits by him and I am on the net or reading?

ive heard about a dog whistle that is so high frequency, that only dogs can hear it. can cats hear it too? ir is it just dogs? and who else can hear it? i did the hearing test for the mosquito ringtone, and i heard all of them. does that mean that i might be able to hear the dog whistle also? and what about horses and birds. can they hear it also?

I found the cutest pit bull puppy at the shelter by my house and we are considering getting it.

It's a very lovely dog. The only issue is how much they shed.

Are they light shedders?

Thanks!!

I have a florescent light on my fish tank and I believe it to be too bright due to the fact that when I turn it on the fish hide in the plants and under rocks.
Need Possible Solutions.
Do florescent lights come in different intensities or watts?
Any other ideas?
