I came home and found her bleeding, her eye popped out a little, and a puncture wound to the top of her head from a bite. I am still in shock. Has this happened to anyone else? Will she be blind? The vet sewed her eye shut until the swelling goes down and did not give a clear diagnosis of what to expect.

Aside from making sure she has shots (she does) and takes her heartworm (she does) and the mice haven't been poisoned (they aren't - we live in the country, so no fear of neighbors and we don't use poison)..... all that aside, my cat is catching the mice and the dog is eating them. What a power team! BUT, my dog ate one whole in like 5 seconds. She only weighs about 8 pounds, so I'm wondering if she'll be able to digest it or if I'll be making an expensive trip to the vet tomorrow. There really wasn't much chewing, just a lot of gulping and it was gone. Anyone know if she'll be able to "pass it out"???

Every time I bring a cat home, my dog kills it. My last dog was a lab and didn't have a problem with cats, but I can't have a cat here for more than two days before Rosco chases it down and mauls it. Please help with some advice, I have gone through 12 cats in the past month.

He's about 19 months old, and he's 95 pounds. He's about 25 inches high on his four paws, and he's almost as tall as I am (5'1) when he stands up! He has gorgious markings, and he's stunning. Everytime I walk him, people say he's beautiful and say the best boxer they've seen. What should I do?

Hi. Recently, I've been worried about my dog. He's trembling, shaking, he's letting out gas and when he does he starts running around like if it hurts him, one of my relative says he saw my dog vomit. Anyone can obviously tell there's something up with him. What's happening to him and what is the least expensive way that I can take care of it?

I tried disinfecting it and was going to cut it but i realized that its totally turned on its side and it looks really painful for him. Is it safe to just totally pull the nail out? What to do?

I am a professional dog trainer and frequently encounter people who have a particular breed of dog, but then hate it when that dog acts like the dog it was bred to be. For example: Why does my Sheltie bark? (it was bred to herd by barking) Why does my terrier dig? (Duh! Terra? They were bred to go to ground and dig up rodents) Why does my Golden Retriever Steal things? (the "retrieve" in the name might be a tip off here) Why does my Beagle ignore me when he is sniffing a bunny trail? (Scent hound, he pretty much can't help himself)
So, why do people get dogs, then abuse and abandon them for doing what they were created by humans to do?

I have a German Sheperd puppy who is 10 weeks old. Her ears were standing up perfectly straight but now the one is bent down. Is it broke or will it fix itself? I think my adult sheperd may have played too rough with her.

My dog has dry skin and scratches frequently. He does not have fleas. A vitamin E capsule a day helped for awhile, but is there some other solution?

My dog shakes badly. My vet says she has slight anemia. Would that cause the shaking?

You can easily tell my dog she is a female simply by looking at her face and watching how she acts, but I have seen other female dogs who look like male dogs. Obviously you can tell my checking if the dog has a penis, but I am talking about the appearance in general?

Is it the excess of the sex hormone estradiol?

"A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast..."
The word translated into English Bibles as "life" in this verse is in the original Hebrew "nephesh", which literally means soul.
"A righteous man regardeth the nephesh (soul) of his beast..."
I've seen a lot of answers saying animals don't have souls and i'm wondering if anyone has ever noticed the Bible's answer to this question, beyond the descriptions of animals in Heaven - lion laying down with the lamb, etc., and the fact that in the Garden, God told Adam and Eve to "take care of the earth and the animals."
Didn't there have to be a reason for this? Do you see a bigger picture going on, or do you think animals are just learning props for humanity's journey?
PETA - have you never noticed this?

I adopted a dog a couple of days ago, and I have this feeling that her previous owners abused her. It is making me very sad, and I was curious if anyone knew how to tell, and what can I do to get her back to being a happy dog. Thanks for everyone's help!
