Dogs - November 2006

Do you think deliberate breeding by the pros is necessary to continue the purity of breeds, or should breeding be even more tightly regulated? How do you feel about fines for non-registered (Backyard) breeders who breed just for cash? Any informed opinions out there? My granddaughter is writing a paper for school about pet overpopulation. Thanks for your input.

Well a short story of what happen.My dog is about 3month's old.He has gotten pro-vo from being out in the yard.Well I can't seem to afford a vet at the moment.Well early this morning he was not eatting nor drinking anything.So I thought I should at least try and get some fluid's in his body.I bought a body of gaterade and spoon fed him.I just waited around and prayed for him.Well tonight he has gotten up and started eatting and drinking.He still seem's a bit weak.But he is eatting and drinking.My question is can a dog live with pro-vo?

She will be a year old next month and had been missing since friday, a neighbor returned her and her eyeball was out of socket. We have no idea what or who did it or what she went through, this worries me. We took her to the vet today and they kept her to do surgery to amputate the eye and sew her eyelid shut. Are her chances of pulling through the surgery good? and will she be different emotionally or anything? I dont know what to expect and I am scared. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a chow chow and wanted his hair cut, the groomer decided to shave it bold. While there is snow on the ground the dog needs its fur to keep warm. Is it considered animal cruelty knowing that the dog needs its fur?

We are considering taking him with us when we go for our Christmas vacation (7 days). But he has always been in sunny San Diego. He is 8 months old. Will it be a shock for him? Or will he adapt to the weather change without any problems? What can I do to prepare him for this? Thanks!

I grew up in California and the weather always permitted to leave the family dog outside because my parents didnt like the idea of having a dog inside the house. Is it really that awful to have your dog live in the backyard all the time, even if she has her own dog house that remains dry when it rains?

Please help me! We bought a Brittany Spaniel about a week ago and he is six weeks old. At first everything was going great, we'd feed him only three times a day at the same times and bring him outside to eliminate at the same time in the day. Then we started using the housetraining pads because we want him to be use to that since we'll be gone for lone periods of the day. He'll pee on the pad once in a while and other times we'd just have to bring him out. But since last night, he refuses to pee on the housetraining pad and only eliminates outside. Then, when I got home today to let him out around the same time I usually do, I found out that he had eliminated in his own bed in his crate not once but twice! We cleaned his bed and things and played with him, took him outside, but for some reason, he has once again eliminated in his own bed! I don't know what to do anymore! Please someone help me!

Let dog out 6am, came home <1 hr later, completely covered in mud.Then noticed he was bleeding from multiple small, deep wounds on back, rear, & hind legs. Although serious, I felt the injuries were not life-threatening as he was breathing normally, etc.Laid down & refused to get up. Weighed 85 lbs & couldn't carry by myself. Cleaned some of the mud off but did not clean the possibly 20 or so separate punctures. Wounds went thru the flesh & not bleeding alot. He drank a little water & got up to urinate that evening. I got him to vet at 8:45 am next day. He was sick that morning & had a rapidly-worsening odor. Stank. Vet said infection indicated he must have been injured 5-7 days before but not possible! Widespread & irreparable tissue damage, recommended putting him to sleep. Vet felt likely animal attack but did not look like bite marks to me.Maybe lead poisoning from shotgun blast?Other dog found dead last month in woods after missing 2 days,muddy, same marks over same part of body

He's always licking her ears, wrinkles, feet, and other places that I can't mention. I've heard of dogs licking themselves but man, my dog is obsessed! how do I make him stop, he's always gagging afterward, and the sound of him licking her grosses me out!
