Dogs - June 2006

I'm not looking for an Affen yet, but would like to do some research for when I do start looking for one and none of the breeders or rescue services listed or referenced on the AKC site will respond to my emails.

It was a very sad moment. His name was spud and he was 13 years old. His back legs quit working the day before and he couldn't get to his food or even go to the bathroom. I know it was the best thing for him but does anyone have some advice on how I can get over the loss of one pets?

I've always seen people walking their dog on TV and those well trained dogs keep their eyes on the person at ALL times... How do you train a dog to do that? Do they teach them by keeping treats in their hand until they learn to look at the person on their own?
Here's a video, if your /really/ dunno what I'm talking about. (It's about 2 mins into the vid.

I would love to work with animals. I live in Ireland. Does anyone know anything about this? Is there voluntary work or an advantage of getting paid? Can anyone help? Looking for the Dublin or Kildare area.

My Westies are scratching like crazy! I bathed them in sensitive skin shampoo, and even hydrocortisone shampoo and they can seem to get no relief. Any ideas?

I have a 13 year old maltese. About a year ago she developed sores underneath her tongue, it smells really bad and she drools all the time now, you can tell it hurts her because she doesn't want to eat like she use too, all she wants to do is sleep. I have taken her to 2 different vets, the first one said her teeth were scraping her tongue and so she pulled some of her teeth, and then she put her on Clindamycin. That didn't work so I took her to another and he thought it was tumors but that came back negative. He put her on Baytril but that hasn't worked either. She seems to be getting worse. Does anyone have any ideas? I hate to see her in this kind of pain. Any help would be appreciated.

She doesn't have health problems she has had all her shots.
She will eat cardboard, notebook paper, paper towels, toliet paper, newspaper, magazines, even books. Why does she do that and how can I get her to stop she does it mostly when we are in bed she knows that she gets in trouble for doing it and wont do it where we can catch her. She either goes into a room no one is in or waits till she goes outside to potty.

Is it contagious? Do they get it from birth or does it develop?

My year and a half old dobie is a giant sweetheart. He's friendly, well-behaved and an all around sweetie pie... the only thing is he is VERY VERY VERY over protective of me. If we're walking down the street and someone approaches, he shoves me behind him and bares his teeth. If a friend or aquaintance moves too quickly towards me, they're shoved away with a growl... he has even very occaisonally done this with regards to my husband. He's not agressive, he has never bitten anyone or threatened them. He doesn't act like this with my husband and I'm wondering if there is some way I can get him to chill. He's great with other dogs and kids and people he knows... but I with strangers or people he doesn't know this behavior comes up. Is there anything I can do?

My 2 year old doberman/sharpei mix just pooed on the carpet last night and she NEVER poos on the carpet! Another weird thing was that is was white and hard like concrete. I gave her a ham bone which she ate in like 10 minutes two days ago but I wanted to see if anyone knew the cause of this.

Why is the poo hard like cement?

Why did she poo on the carpet....she is potty trained and NEVER poo's inside?

Thanks for your help.

I've been asking questions about my hybrid dog. Now I have another question!
When a dog eats grass, it throws up. I just went outside a cupple of minutes ago and the dog threw up but it looks like foam! What's that mean? Why does it appear he's throwing up foam? Does this have anything to do with his Revolution medication?
