Dogs - September 2006

I'm not sure what the best thing is to feed my puppy and how much.

The pet store had him on NutroMax puppy formula, so that is what has been on. But, I wasn't sure if there is something better.

Also, they only told me to feed him 1/3 cup twice a day. I read the bag and it says 3/4 to 1 1/4 cups per day. So, I have been giving him 1/3 cup four times a day because it is like I cannot fill him up. All he wants to do is eat. Everytime he walks by the cupboard his food is in, he sits and wait for me to feed him. I don't want to over feed him, but I also don't want to starve him.

He is just under 4 months and he is right around 7 pounds, probably still a little under.

Thanks again!

We left my dog alone with another dog. They like to play rough. We came back our dog had a hard time jumping on the couch and didn't want to walk. We found a knot slightly above his hip. It hurt him for us to touch it. We thought he got injured and pullled a muscle or soemthing. This was Sunday. By Tuesday it wasn't hurting him anymore, but the knot is still there and is the same size. I am taking him to the vet today, but wanted to see if anyone on here as ever seen such.

It is a dog watering bottle (21/2 gallons) and I was just wondering if there was a way to remove the algae without buying a new bottle.

Given recent events, is it about time that the UK re-introduced the Dog Licence and had some sort of "Free" test to prove that the "Would be" owner is responsible enough to own one.

My neighbors dog is a Pit Bull and the sweetest dog I've ever seen. I just can't believe all the hype about all these mean pits in the world. I trust this dog around my children. Maybe its like they say its according to how a dog is raised, and taken care of. If the parents of a baby pit are mean to it, it would probably be mean, right????????????

I walk her twice a day, and my husband plays with her in the yard every night after dinner. She is very happy but I want to do something special for her (not food or treat-related).

A puppy got into my back yard, i put signs all over no one has called. It has short brown coat, we call her ginger thats the right color, she has big giant paws, she has greenish eyes or hazel eyes, floppy heavy ears, strong jaws and square nose (her nose is brown), she is really strong built, her tail is not very long but it thick at the butt growing pointy at the tip. when she came her, about 3 weeks ago she looked like she was about 8 weeks old, she didn't look starved, and had a collar on. Since then she is about 2 times the size when she first came here. She a pain in the ***! She wont leave my cats alone, she chases them pins them, then gets mad when they swipe her, and starts barking a them. Anyone have any ideas what kind of dog this is?

I have a beautiful 2yr, old golden retriver. He's very obedient (in the house). Once we go outside for a walk, it's like taking a fat kid to the candy store! He's wants to go everywhere. He's about 75-80lbs. and he drags me when we walk. I've read things like walk the dog on the leash in a circle so that he knows he has to follow you and give the dog commands so you can get his attention. Unfortunately, none of these things have been working for me. I simply can't get his attention. Someone even suggested I hit him like you would a child. This defintely didn't work b/c he's so sensitive that he became scared I was gonna hit him all the time. I mean, I even let him out for two hours in my backyard so he can get the extra energy out his system. Right now, I can't afford obedience school. Please someone give me advice about walking my dog. All answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

My Dog (dobi) is about to turn 4 yrs old, she started having terrible habits such as taking food off the kitchen counter/table to eat, tears apart the kitchen trash and spreads the trash all thru the house. We have tried to correct this but doesn't seem to sink into her brain that she's being bad. Why has she suddenly started to act out this way.

This morning i took my 11 wk old Italian Greyhound outside to go "duty." Well, it was dark, but I always take her to one spot since she is not fully vaccinated. Anhow, it rained last night and she seemed very attracted to this one spot. Well, I couldn't see what it was at 4am but I kept moving her away from that area. I don't know if it was her own feces that moved b/c of the rain, or another dogs, but that WAS NOT the spot she usually goes in. Well, as I left the house this morning, it appeared that the "spot" she was attracted to was poop. Okay, so now I am disgusted with thsi little pooch and am wondering why dogs do this? How much harm is there in her having done that, and is there anyway to help prevent that? I pick up after her, but since she is not 100% comfortable with going outside yet, I like to leave atleast a little something behind for her sniff and realize it's her area. Please give me some advice. This is my 1st puupy besides the one I grew up with as a kid. THanks!

I bought Royal Canin food for my puppy and she will eat some of it but not all! Is it a good brand for shih-poo's (I have a shih-tzu mixed with a poodle). Should I switch to see if she will like something better. I only want the best food for my puppy!

I bought 2 puppies at age 7 weeks they had there 1st shots before i brought them home. One came down with parvo just 2 days before he was due his second shot. I took him to vet and we couldn't save him he died this past sunday. I got his brother 2nd shot the day he died and now 5 days later this puppy got sick. He has been sick since tuesday and is in pet hospital. He has been given no fluids (not needed them yet and is eatting some). Still throwing up alittle and some loose stool. I went to visit him this morning and he wangged his tail and licked me. He doesn't look as sick as his brother did. The vet said its still early to tell...but all i have on my mind is this puppy. I thought (silly me) that my puppies would be ok since i brought them home with there 1st shot and now i am hoping and praying that maybe he will have only a mind case since he has 2 shots. Does anyone think he has a better chance of living than his brother did. Please pray for my little Turbo.he is a min chawa.
