Dogs - September 2006

Our 2 german shepherd dogs will have full bowls of food all day, but don't eat it until I get home. I'm not sure if they prefer to eat at night or if it's something else, but it seems that even if I come home reallllly late, they still don't eat until I get there... Anybody have any clues as to why they do this??

I heard a yellow lab was more mellow than either a black or chocolate lab. I also heard that a chocolate lab was more high strung? Is any of this true? I do know (from experience) that golden retrievers have a very loving and gentle nature. I also owned a black lab for 8 years who was very playful and loyal up until his death at age 12. Thanks for your input.

When my dog drinks from his water bowl, he sometimes will stick his paw in the bowl and sort of scrape the bottom of the bowl then will continue to drink....he can't want more water can he. I was also thinking that he sees his reflection in the water and maybe it trips him out......I hope he doesn't hear voices.....your thoughts.

I don't want a dog - I wouldn't hurt them but people are always telling me I NEED one!!! I am disabled, have a wonderful cat & am happy.....My Mom used to breed Rotts & I trained them....I think that is why people always try to get me to take them, I even had someone drop a sick lab behind my fence when I was about to go on a trip!!! By the time I got back he was unsavable & I felt guilty!!!
How can I tell people I do not want their dogs that they are sick of???

Well, not really. You know how people exhale? Well, shes exhaleing from her nose or something like that. Like, breathing out. My neighbor says her collars too tight, but her collars the right size. Whats wrong?

I have a female chihuahua that is a year old and the vet did blood work on her the other day after getting her spayed. They asked me to bring them a sample of her stool and found tapeworm. The vet has given me a pill for her as a treatment. I did some research online and it says that humans and juvenile animals can get it and be affected by it. Is this true?


What else can I do to prevent other dogs/people in the house from getting it?
Can humans get it or be affected by it?
What type of precautions should I take if I'm pregnate myself?
About two nites ago, my female chihuahua (who has the worms now) spent a couple of hours in the room playing with her 7 week old pups and cleaning them, will this affect them, too?
How long does it take for the tapeworms to clear up?

A friends 1 1/2 yr old Shitzu (not correct spelling) named Lola hasn't pooped in two days. She has been eating food and is know to eat her own poop as well. She isn't fully house trained and in spite quite often does her poop around the house. She is acting normal and shows no signs of distress over this. She has squatted for a short moment today but nothing came out. Anyone have this happen with thier dog ? She has just moved into a new home 3 days ago could this be some kind of stress thing ? She does seem happy and okay otherwise.

Why is it, that a dog doesn't like you blowing in his face, yet when in a car, he sticks his head out the window? No comments about my bad breath please.

We were told that our new American bulldog has a sensitive stomach, and that she can only have food that has fish in it. Has anyone had this happen to their dog? and if so did you try Lamb and rice? Should I try it? The food that she is eating now is VERY COSTLY...please help!

I was told to rinse my dog with a solution of baking soda after giving him a bath. Was wondering if anyone has tried this and what was the response. Did it alleviate his itching?

I have an almost 2 yr old black lab, border collie, golden retriever mix who thinks she's a goat. She eats whatever she can get her hands on: towels, socks & underwear (clean or dirty & swallows them whole), coasters, glasses. . . you name it, she's tried to eat it. We've been to obience class and she knows "leave it" but still tries to eat everything in sight and ends up coming out one end or the other.
