Dogs - June 2006

I have a Boston Terrier who sleeps in bed with me. Several months ago I began to get hives at night on my body or legs, usually on my back or chest. I figured that I might be having a reaction to his hair. I wash my sheets and blanket every week in hot water but that doesnt seem to help. I have tried to get him to sleep in his crate again at night but that usually results in him starting to cry at 4am and I loose more sleep than I would have from the hives.

All I've been doing to prevent the hives is sleeping in a shirt and taking an antihistimine. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what I can do to prevent these hives from happening. Its a weekly occurance.

Thanks for your help

we just bought a harness for our min pin, he has many collars but we wanted to try this, so do we leave it on him all the time? or Do we take it off him when he is in the house and only put it on him when we go outside to take him for a walk? Thanks.

facts please!!!!! my dog eats her own feces she is 7 months. I want to know if it is unhealthy and how to stop it. she is a house dog, i feed her natural dog food, she is healthy, and she is trained to go on the pee pads if i'm not able to let her out side ( this is when the problem happens). now my male puppy is joining her in this act.

My dog gets so excited when I put on his gym shoes & take him for a walk. Some people stop me and say how cute his shoes are. He is a small dog and the shoes prevent him from stepping on anything sharp and hurting his little paws.

I have always had poodles and they are surely little yappers and rather hyper.
I want a small house dog that does not shed too much as my three year old shows allergies to dogs that have long hair.
I want a sweet mild tempered lap dog.
Any suggestions? Thanks!!!!!!!!

My dog was playing with his brother and a friends dog and I noticed he had started to bleed on his tongue. He bit the side of his tongue and a large bubble formed and blood started to spray out. How can I monitor his condition and make sure no infection developes. I am checking his temperature and keeping him calm for now. He has not eaten anything since he hurt himself. Not sure now what to look for and care for his tongue. Can anyone help me. I called the vet and they said just monitor him keep him calm but no way to apply pressure on the tongue. All my life I've had dogs and never encountered this situation.

I just got a Husky and we can't find a good name. He is so cute, he looks just like the dog on Snow Dogs ( Demon ). He is so sweet, but he looks like he would be a tough pup. I really need help with finding a perfect name for my awesome Husky pup. We just got him today.

We have found a food that helps with these problems for our cat. But we can't find what we need for our dogs. We have a Boxer and an American Staffordshire Terier, each over 50lbs and lean and active. They prefer dry food. "doggy breath" we reduced by cutting out all table scraps. But "dog sweat" and shedding are still problems. I've heard there are foods that can help with both of these. I don't know what they are or where to get them. Of course, with the amount big dogs eat affordability is a must.

What is the best home remedy for a dog with an ear infection? I've heard Hydrogen Peroxide works but I'm not sure, and its Sunday so my vet's office is closed. Anything that will at least relieve his symptoms until I can get him to the vet tomorrow?
