Dogs - November 2006

My Jack Russell cross dog shrieks with excitement the moment he sees the leash and continues throughout his walk. If I let him off he is quiet but he bites big dogs so I am not able to let him off.I have tried not taking him out until he has quieted a bit and that helps but as soon as he sees another dog or jogger he goes crazy. He is a rescue dog of 1 year and is not afraid of anything, especially not me so I can't shout or smack him to stop it. I have tried training class and antibark collars no use. Help help

My new puppy (Who we brought home yesterday) has been having some problems, since last night. Her stomache got pretty big, way too big for her body, but she seems normal in activty. In the middle of the night, she started barking and crying and was trying to claw her wat out of her crate.

I took her outside, and she pee'd, but nothing else. Since then she has been restless. About 30 minutes ago, I took her out again, and did poop. This was the first time I actually saw little white worms in her poop. Since then she has pooped several other times, all solid, all with worms in them.

What type of worms does this sound like? Any idea where she got them?

A friend of mine has a 7 and 1/2 year old male Staffie who has a growth on the back of one of his hind legs. It's been there all year. When I myself first noticed it it was about the size of a small pea and my friend said it had been there a while, but now it's as wide as a £1 coin and twice as high. It looks nasty, but it's not bleeding or weeping and the dog isn't bothered about it. I keep nagging my friend to take him to the vets and she says it's at the top of her list of things to do, but she's been saying that for months. I've decided to give her until the end of the month then I'll report her to the RSPCA. I'll keep reminding her to take the dog to the vet, but if she doesn't I can't see what else I can do for the dog. Would it be wrong for me to report my friend? Or should I have done it sooner?

I knew the dog was dying from tumours. We did everything conceivable to make our pet comfortable. We had planned to take Penny to the vet to have her euthenized but we too were just coming to grips with the finality of it all. She'd been with us for 17 years.

Unfortunately, we were too slow. Our daughter found her in the hall, curled up and panting. She lifted the dog's head onto her lap and our Penny expired. My daughter looked up at me with an expression I will never forget. I know what I said...what would you have said to her?

We are currently trying to breed our Black & White Border Collie with our neighbours Black Labrador, the confusion arose when we noticed the male labrador humping the female collies head, we tried to fix this problem but the collie started humping the labradors head, why is this and what can we do to fix it...
Meanwhile look out for our book, Puppy Karma Sutra, the REAL Doggy Style...

I'm thirteen years old, do you think people will trust me with their dogs since I'm not professional or anything?
I will TRULY appreciate ANY kinds of advice about dog-walking for profit.
(advertising, insurance???, making a good impression, how much time i should walk the dog, how far, etc.)
I've had a labrador-retriever before, but she passed away last summer. So...i've had experience.
thank you so much.

i live in a border community and know the importance of being bilingual. but i always wondered if the same could be said of dogs. i live maybe two miles from the international border to Mexico, so i learned spanish to better communicate and understand when spoken to in spanish. now, would my dogs also need to learn "spanish - dog" in order to speak and understand a dog from the other side of the border?

She is not being vicious, just playful, but she nips at their arms and legs and, occassionally their faces. She has also put holes in their shirts from tugging on them. The kids are only 5 and 2 so it is impossible to get them not to run around and play around the puppy.

i've got two basset hounds, one lemon and white and one tricolour.
the tricolour is brilliant- very smart, easy to train and very calm.
the other is near impossible to train, boisterous and seems to be very stupid in that she knows when she has done something wrong but then she goes and does it straight away again.
i love them both but find it very frustrating sometimes.
i was wondering if dogs have the same varying levels of intelligence or could it just be the dogs' character?

I am having trouble with my Min pin puppy, she is 8 weeks old.
She is behaving agressivly when you pick her up, pet her and just touch her sometimes. Just a while ago I picked her up and talked sweet to her, then gave her a hug and kiss, and she growled and bit me!!! She has no fear, so I know she aint doing it out of being scared, she's not scared of people at all, she is just behaving mean. But then again when she's sleepy she wants to sleep on my lap and cuddle????? I realy dont know what to do, and i need some help ASAP. I didnt expect my new puppy to have behaver problems at such a young age! Please help!!!

I have a dog who just turned a year old on sept. 30 and has contracted parvo have no idea how but there are many different ways for him to of gotten it. His brother also came over to play a week ago and still here as he's been exposed. When is it safe for him to go home and is there a good chance he will survive?
He is still 65 pounds and didn't have a fever and was almost not quite dehydrated but was throwing up water and wouldn't eat and he's went two days w/out eating before i got concerned and was pretty weak. He is now at the vets and are doing ivs. I thought originally he ate my christmas lights and had to pass whatever he swallowed till he started getting weak and weaker by the hour. So, took him to the vet and that is where he is now.
Anybody have any advice?

The dog would preferably be small with little grooming and shedding. It will get plenty of exercise including lots of walks and hopefully be an off-leash dog so it can run and play.

I have two girls, 7 and 13; and two boys, 5 and 15.

I have a red nose pitt bull. He just made ten months old. My boyfriend's friend said that we should give our pup calf milk, so that he can get stronger and thicker. I was concerned and needed to know if giving my pup calf milk will be healthy.

I have a 2.4lb Yorkie that's 7 months old. I know the benefits of Spaying, however being that she's so small anesthesia is a big worry of mine. She is in heat for the first time, I sore I would not get her fixed, nor would I breed her b/c of her size and the risks. However I am really not liking the idea of bleeding. I'm a neat freak and I feel my home is dirty. I thought of diapers and sanitary pads but how humane is that? I am really worried her personality will change i don't want to regret it I like her the way she is. Anyone who has experienced this? What should I do?

My dog's "Kong" was filled with canned dog food and given to him. he ate it and afterward the "Kong" was put in a plastic bag and the bag was knotted on the top. I left the "Kong" in the bag too long because when I opened the bag the "Kong" has some mold in the inside of it. It's a new "Kong" so I'd prefer to be able to clean it and continue to use it. I've thought about bleach, but keep in mind that my dog will be chewing and licking the toy--can I use bleach to clean it? Or, do you think something else would be better? Someone suggested I put it in the dishwasher, what do you think of that? If I do the dishwasher route would you put it in with dirty dishes or would that be gross? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
