Dogs - October 2006

I have 2 dogs and each weighs about 40-50 pounds. They've lived outdoors their whole lives, but when winter comes around, it's hard for them. We purposely bought one large doghouse so that they could cuddle together (like in 1997). Of course, when it was cold we brought them inside...but we cannot keep dogs indoors. What would be the warmest dog house that's within the range of $50-$100?? Based on you and your dogs' experiences can you tell me what is the warmest doghouse? Thanks.

She doesn't destroy anything but she relocates it. She does this with shoes, clothes, other items. Any ideas how to get her to stop?

They sort of scoot along the floor now. When will there little legs be strong enough to carry them and is there anything I can do to help this process along? Should I be trying to feed them regualr dog food. Since they have no teeth that may be a little hard to do. How soon can they start learning about their name, what it is, what to do when they hear it, etc....Anything that you think might be of help to me about these precious little guys would be very valuable to me.

Also, does anyone know how to get to the website for PETA. My neighbors are doing some things that I'm not to sure what to do about, I thought I might get some helpful hints from them

Thanks you guys

We received a visual inspection diagnosis 2 weeks ago. They scoped the stomach, said it appears to be adenocarcinoma of the pylorus. They took biopsies, but te results were inconclusive. Would the endoscopist really be able to have a good feel for the diagnosis?

The area had been bleeding....tarry stools, vomiting undigested blood, weakness, SEVERE anemia. Dog received two transfusions.

He is now on Carafate and Pepcid several times a day. He seems to be making a miraculous recovery. Gums are now pink, he is eating and feeling well.....

What is the deal? Maybe he doesn't have cancer after all. OR are the medications stopping the bleeding, giving him more time?

He is 14.....what if the Dr. made a mistake, and it is not cancer?

I now need to know how long do I keep him on these medications....I am afraid to stop them, for maybe the bleeding and anemia will return...

My fiance & I just moved into a new house and decided to get a dog. We ended up going to the Humane society to rescue one. We fell in love with a 6 yr old golden retriever. She was most likely a day or 2 away from being put down since she was there for about a month already. She is the sweetest dog but she suffers from separation anixiety. She has ripped off the weather stripping on our front door. Then she had pottied on the living room floor several times. Then she moved it to the upstairs hallyway and added #2 to it (gross). Our carpet is being ruined and we really love the dog otherwise and don't want to get rid of her but she is ruining our house. The smell is aweful. I have tried so many different sprays and what not. She also broke into our pantry 2 times now and ate all her treats and everything in the garbage. We are on our 3rd week of training at Petsmart so hopefully that will help a little bit. Any ideas on what I should do?

Ok, so my dog (6 month old pug) got spayed on wed. By thursday night, she had super bad diarrhea. It went on for about a day, we tried feeding her boiled beef with rice and giving her kaopectate. The diarrhea carried over to friday. I called the vet, and told her what was going on. She gave me a perscription for her. Since she took the perscription (metronidazole) at 12 on friday. It is now 3:30 on saturday and she hasn't pooped AT ALL since then. Should i be worried. I made an appoitment to go to the vet tommorow. But until then, is there anything i can do?

I have a dog that I keep in a crate overnight. When she is in there she whines constantly and it will go for hours and hours on end. I need to teach her that it is not good to whine when she is in her crate and have read to make the environment uncomfortable when she is whining...and the article recommended that I make a loud, undesirable noise somewhere where she cannot see me. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas of things that make very loud noises...? Thanks for your help.
