Dogs - June 2006

I am thinking about getting a small dog, but am worried because I work 9-5pm. Would it be ok to leave it in a kennel in the garden? Or what do you usually do?

My Chihuahua has recently been diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. This is a heart condition the mostly occurs in large dogs, but nevertheless my doggy has been diagnosed with it. My research has shown that diets low in sodium and high in amino acids taurine and carnitine are very good for the heart, and can actually reverse the enlarged heart. I have changed his food to prescription diet H/D (has the taurine and carnitine, low sodium and added potassium since the Lasix depletes potassium quickly) , but would love to find a dog treat that I can get at a Petsmart, Petland, or even the Seventh Vortex of Hell (Walmart). My dog loves his dogs biscuit (demanding them before he goes outside hahaha). Does anyone here know of a dog treat that is good for the heart?

I recently got a Lab puppy just under 3mths of age. But she acts like my great dane. All of my friends comment that she is the most mellow Lab puppy they have ever seen. In case you didnt know Great Danes are known for being mellow. I am curious to know if I just got a mellow Lab or if she is picking up mannerisms from my dane. Does anyone know anything about this, or could offer an explanation for this annomally?

My friend Jennifer loves to wrestle and play with her dog... but sometimes... I don't know. How do you know when "play" crosses the line into "sexual abuse?"

Should I call the ASPCA? Hide the dog under a blanket or some other opaque object?

Yes, that's right...power cords. My cell phone charger, my lamp cord, computer printer cord...grandma's oxygen hose.

This puppy was abandoned in my yard 3 weeks ago, and we went ahead and kept her after no one called to claim her after a week. We know this is temporary...but...

I've done everything I can remember (hot sauce on visible cords, making noises when I see her doing it, etc), but I can't remember how I broke my Miniature Schnauzer from chewing to help this new puppy quit chewing.

I tend to think I just bought a boat load of chewies and chew toys...but that sounds too easy...haha
Help, PLEASE!!! haha

I have a 2 year old Labrador Retriever. It's pregnant now and I think it might be time that it's going to give birth.

Anyone here who has a Lab which gave birth before? How many pups did you get for the first time it gave birth? Was it difficult for it? How did you handle it?

Please let me know your experience... Thanks!!

I woke up this morning to find my dog crying, something seems to be wrong with her rear or upper back leg. This has happened before, but when we took her to the vet, nothing was wrong with her...the dr. just gave her something and sent her home. Can I just give her Ibuprofen for the pain? I've been reading, and everything I find says not to give dogs asprin. She's a german shepherd/beagle mix...so if I can give her anything, how much? She's about 45 pounds. Any suggestions?
