My newly adopted greyhound is wonderful with people, but if he sees another dog or cat he wants to chase it. Has anyone tried a quick spray with water, or will it cause additional anxiety?

I have a golden Retreiver, he is one year old. He is fixed, He listens when he sees me, as soon as I leave he does what he wont do in front of me, like eat the plants and scare my birds. I walk him for an hour a day, but that only tires him out for an hour.

I just went into my kitchen (2:00 am my time) and a huge Chocolate Lab is laying on the floor. The dog next door is in heat and I have seen this dog hanging around. He has a front paw that is swollen about 3 times the size of his other ones. His nose is very dry and crusty. The cracks of the swelling on his paw ooze a pinkish foamy goo when the paw is slightly squeezed. I can't find a cut or any sandspurs (common in my area). I do see one deep puncture-like (canine tooth sized) wound. He is unresponsive to commands. He has tried twice to get up, but layed back down without moving more than a foot or two. I think he either has an un-attended infection or a snakebite. Either way I'm not sure what I should do until morning when I can call a vet. I put hot towels on his paw. Now I don't know what to do.

Hi.

I'm in the UK and looking to buy my mother a dog as some company for her. We have had retrievers before but as she is getting older and less mobile I'm really looking for something on the small/small medium side and with a good temperament that wont need too much exercise apart from access whenever needed to her large garden and the occasional walk.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

I bought a kitty for my 6 year old son. We had it for 3 weeks now and tonight our dog killed it. My son doesn't know the the kitty is dead, and I dont know how and if I should tell him. Also how do I punish the dog? (the dog has never been agressive to my son or poeple in general)

I have a 2 and a half year old female pitbull. Latley she has been real destructive. I mean I've always had a problem with her digging which I still haven't managed to stop that yet so any help with that would be great. But back to my original question, my dog stays outside and she has ruin my whole screen door. She would bump the screen door off the track with her nose and eventually put a tear at the bottom of the screen. Well today she ran through the screen ripping the screen net completely. So I had put her in the garage (Which I do every once in a while when its too cold or raining) and the she started clawing at the garage door really bad so I let her back outside. I took the screen door off and put that in the garage, but now she is starting to claw my glass door and trying to bump it off like the screen. I can afford to fix the screen door but not my sliding glass door. I tried to be stern and get her to stop but nothing worked. Can someone please help?

We have a Shih Tzu (super friendly) in need of a good home because we recently found out that my husband is allergic to it. We had him for over two years, and have tried to keep him. It's a very hard decision, but it's him or my husband. He comes with crate, suitcase, doggies sweaters, brushes etc. He is nuttered and trained. In return my little girls will need little updates.

I have a 10-month old mixed lab breed female dog. For nearly 3, maybe 4 months, she has been badly limping and not using one of her back legs at all. She can still get around just fine and can even run (but not too fast). It does not seem like it hurts her.

Our other two dogs seemed to go through a "limping stage" when they were puppies as well. Maybe to make us feel sorry for them, and to give them more attention? But they both soon grew out of this. But it did not take 3/4 months for them to grow out of it!

Does my little puppy have hip dysplasia? My parents won't take her to the vet because they know, if they do, they will not be able to afford surgery for her (if needed), and are not willing to pay a lot of money on a dog (which is logical).

Also, when she sits down, she sits real funny. Like a normal dog will sit on her hind legs. This puppy almost sits on her side, to avoid sitting on this one leg. But whenever we touch it, she never yelps, and never acts like it hurts.
