Dogs - October 2006

I have a 6month old lab/ chow mix. He was playing with my 8 year old and bit her under the face and drew blood. Should he be put to sleep? He has never bitten anyone before.

Dogs wag their tail to show their happiness and love. But is there any specific reason why dogs wag its tail while no other animal like elephant, cat or cow etc wag their tail to express thier happiness?

We have had our dog for about 3 months and everytime someone comes over he piddles ! It is so aggravating. Does anyone know when he will get out of his puppy stage and stop this?

My dog has seizures and chicken or beef is not recommend.
Anything with fruits or vegetables, lamb or turkey are fine. Natural dog treats are just too expensive to buy all the time.

We took our pup to the vet and as it turns out the vet thinks that he might have distemper. He is a 9wk old english mastiff. The vet is giving him some medication that seems to be helping, but if he doesn't show any sign of progression he says we should let him go. We've only had him for two weeks and we love him very much. We need any kind of advice or information we can get to save Maximus. I'm sure the vet who is currently attending him is knowledgable, but getting a second opinion wouldn't hurt. Personal experience would help too.

I have a maltese/poodle who I love, but I feel bad because both me and my fiance work most of the day so she is alone for a good 8 hours a day. She is really good when we are gone (rarely any accidents), but I want to get another dog to keep her company. And also I just want another dog in general. I don't want another puppy, but if I get another dog I doubt it will be as good as she is about staying home that long. Is there any type of dog that is good for long periods of time as long as there is another dog with them? I know this is a weird question, because most people would say it is bad to leave a dog that long alone, but my fiance stops home sometimes to take her out. Just want some opinions..thanks!!

Since yesterday, my Rat Terrier - Perdita (belongs to my little sister in legal claiming rights) - threw up twice and once this morning! I tried to get her away from eating leaves and junk, but she still winds up vomiting! I don't think it's car sickness either! What does she need? She is fed regularly, but there's got to be more than this!!!

Keep those sugarless treats out of Fido's reach. Veterinarians warned on Friday that a commonly used sweetener might cause liver failure in dogs, and perhaps even kill them.

Their report in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association appears to strengthen the suspected link between the sugar substitute xylitol, thought to make dogs sick, and possible liver failure.

Xylitol, a naturally occurring product, is found in many sugar-free chewing gums, candies, baked goods and toothpastes.

Each dog became ill, and five died or had to be put down because of liver failure, possibly from ingesting xylitol.

Even More reason to give your pet just pet food...

Do you give your pet human food?

Our old Lab passed away in July, I brought the other Lab in the house for a brief period of time (she is up in age also). I put her back outside (she has lived outside her whole life. Her and the Lab that died were inseperatable) All she does is lay around, she won't eat, I have changed her food, I have added other stuff in her food just to get her to eat.I don't want her to starve to death. She just sits and stares at the back door. I let her in about every other day to spend some time in the house with us, I have to drag her back outside. I spend time with her outside on the days I dont let her in, brushing her, pampering her, walking her.What can I do about a grieving dog? Has anyone gone through this? what was the outcome? I don't want to get another dog, It wouldn't work out. If anyone has any ideas, PLEASE HELP

I posted on here a couple of weeks ago about my Rottie, Keilah who had lymphnoma cancer. We started the chemo treatment and predizone. She was doing better, eating again and by last Thursday was acting like her old self. Tail wagging, active and just in good spirits. She had a chemo shot on Thursday night. Came home and seemed fine. Friday and Saturday would not eat anything. Became weak, layed around alot and died Saturday night. Could this have been from the chemo treatment? Can you OD on chemo? We miss her so much. She was the sweetest dog you could ever meet. But I know she is better off now. I should be working right now but I can't help thinking and crying about her.

I just got a puppy ( 9 weeks old) and it keeps peeing 2-3 drops on the floor. I don't have time cleaning it that he's already peeing again. What could be wrong with it ?

A dog adopted me last week and she is wonderful with people of all ages. I live in a small community with lots of dogs and kids. Maisy loves all people, but there are a couple of dogs she will eventually growl at (my friends') and there are two she goes wild with growling and lunging. But there are about a dozen dogs who she could care less about. She is my first dog and I want a dog I can be proud of. I really want to nip this problem in the bud.

We got a new 12 week old puppy Saturday. She has eaten 3 tiny treats and half a piece of bread. She drinks some. She has yellow watery diarrhea. She has not thrown up. She was taken to the vet and had a 102.6 temperature. The vet gave her antibiotics but had no clue. The puppy just lays there. Any guesses?

I have 2 german shepard,bull dog puppies that are very actice.Gaining weight and growing in height with no problems.They have been throwing up several times a day for 2 weeks.They have been on puppy chow since I first got them at age 5 weeks and they are now 10 weeks old.Since the throwing up has no affect on their growth could it just be worms or am I looking at something more serious and should take them to the vet?

I have a 12 wk old daucshund / mini pincsher mix. She's been with us since the second week of august. We also have a 6 month old maine coon kitty. They get along quite well. Meisha (my dog) has a habit of sneaking into the kitty's room (they both have their each rooms) and getting into her litter box, only to eat her poop! I don't understand why she does this, and why she won't stop! We have dewormed her, she's had her first shots and everything, and she's totally healthy. I'm afraid her habit will get her sick one day.

Another thing that we've had a problem with is Meisha not going potty outside. We will take her outside, stand there with her for an hour...she won't do anything, then we will come back inside and she'll automatically go poop and pee on the floor. Why is she doing this? We can't keep her outside because our neighbor has 3 pit bulls that I know wouldn't hurt her purposely, but they wiegh a good 130 lbs/ea, and Meisha is only 3.7 lbs. What do I do? What can I do? HELP!
