Dogs - November 2006

It shocks me to read some of the replies. I also have to say the nasty guy (i wont name any names but you know who you are) everyone wants to pick on may be rude and at times down right mean but, his answers are frequently on the ball.

I have a small cairn terrier. I know the groomers 'pop' his anal glands when I take him in. This is a gross question, but, how do I do this at home when I bathe him? What is the purpose of this?

I'm at my wits end with my 2 neutered female pit bulls. Suddenly, the younger (age 1 and a half) one attacks the older (age 3) one for no reason and a vicious fight ensues. I've tried everything - muzzling, more exercise, recognizing the dominance of the younger dog, asking for advice. The bottom line seems to be "crate and rotate", which is what I have been doing, but I really dislike it even besides the inconvenience. I have an electric fence on my property and that works like magic. My dogs will NOT cross their boundaries even IF they aren't wearing their collars because they've been conditioned to know that if they do, they will get a shock. I'm wondering if I'd have such sucess with remote training collars for the fighting problem. Two collars would cost about $300 to $400, so I'd sure like to hear from others who may have had real-life experience with this issue, especially with this breed, before I put out that much money for nothing.

When I got her she had bad diarrea 4-5 times a day. I started feeding her plain chicken breast and rice 2 times a day. I also leave out a high quality kibble for her to eat in between meals. I give her a multi vitamin. She is so much better she goes poop now 2 times a day no more diahrrea. I don't like the smell or idea of canned dog food. Do you think w/ the chicken,rice & vitamin she is getting enough nourishment??

Does anyone know what the differences is between the American Kennel Club, the American Canine Club and the Candian Kennel Club? Is there different regulations? Is one better than the other?

She's a 7 month old springer spaniel, currently in heat. Her eye was fine before last night, when we suddenly noticed it. We don't know if she hurt her eye, or has an infection. Are there any ideas on what this could be, and what we can do for her? We'll be taking her to the vet later today if it doesn't improve soon. Thanks!

I asked my vet who said she has heard different results from her clients. I need to know, has anyone had good or bad expeirences with it. It is expensive. I dont want to hurt my dogs or pay so much for a useless product. I comb them daily and take them to the groomers once a month. However, with seven dogs anything that would help would be appreciated? Thanks
