My 2 year old dog has a black spot on the top of one of his back teeth and I am wondering if it is a cavity.

I am pretty sure he thinks this is what he is supposed to do because sometimes he lays in it just to go to the bathroom. How can I stop this?

I have a 6 month old Yorkie/Chihuahua mix. She has known the command "sit" since she was 10 weeks old. However, whenever people come around she won't listen to my commands and goes hyper. I usually end up having to leash her or put her in her kennel. How do I get her to settle down?

is it because I'm black? are they racist and think they need to charge black people more because we black?

My dog is a dog and he should be charged the same as any other dog!

check it. my pittbull had plenty of fluid in his stomach and the damn vet said the charge was $400 to treat him. I said I had no other option mofo! so I left the poor motha their. the same day I strolled by and was about to pick up my dog see. so that motha said he needed to keep my pitt overnight. hell naw! I ain't paying no overnight fees, motha! so I told that damn vet he better realize who he is dealing with because I don't go away easy. anyway I told that motha you can't fix my dog well I going to take him today.

guess what? that motha charged me $400!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said fo what?????????? you only pumped his stomach and didn't even find the cure. you told me $400 to TREAT him. now you wanted to charge me more for overnight stay, additional fees and on top of that charge me $400?

trippin!

Micky is a white collie mix dog. He is also 17 or 18 years old. he is deaf, partially blind W/ cataracs, mild arthritis, seperation anxiety, extreme shedding, tumors on him (they are not cancerous). He is a little stiff upon rising and lowering himself down. He is not my dog. He belongs to my boyfriends aunt. Sometime before 3pm he will be in doggy heaven. Our opinion is that he is not suffering but is only old. He has issues a old doggy would normally have.
She and her 2 kids insist Micky is suffering so much. And other family members don't agree. It has been causing fights. We want Micky but she refused to give him to us last night. She said it is her dog and it is not our business. I see her side but I along with others think it is to early. She is sad about putting him to sleep.It took nearly a year to come to this decision.
I don't know if I even have a question. I am upset and don't ever want to go to her house again. Am I being petty?
Is it time to say good bye?

I came out of the computer room to see why my 3 month old pug puppy was being so quiet, and i see a chewed up tube of neosporin lying next to him. There's no telling how much he injested, there were A LOT of holes in it from him, and a bunch of the liquid was on the carpet, but I don't know how much he ate, if any. Is this serious enough to need to go to the vet? Or can I just give him a lot of food and water to help it pass through his system?

He is very small - approx 8 pounds

Can you tell by body structure, Build or maybe teeth ? At least a rough idea.

I got a mixed-breed but predominantly pitbull dog 3 years ago. About 18 months ago, I got a pure-bred pitbull puppy. The other dog is now 3+ years old. For a year and a half, both dogs got along just fine. They would play fight sometimes, but, it was clearly just that. All of a sudden, the younger dog, who is EXTREMELY people-friendly, began attacking the older one and these fights are REAL. I found an online article that said when dogs in the same "pack" fight, it's to establish dominance, and the owner should let them fight it out. But because both my dogs are pit bulls I'm afriad they'll kill each other. Having to keep them 100% separated at all times is a ROYAL pain and inconvenience. Anyone out there have experience with this? I just bought muzzles for both of them, figuring at least this way they probably won't kill each other. I need some real, first-hand advice from someone with PIT BULL experience.

My husband and I are the proud parents of a 13 week Boston Terrier; named Carl. Carl has a problem with congestion. When he was 11 weeks old he developed breathing difficulties. The vet gave me a steroid shot and Amoxicillin. He was much better at the end of the antibiotics, but when we took him in for his 12 shots, the vet gave him another round of Amoxicillin because the congestion was still present. He suggested an operation to help open his airway. He is growing, happy, playful and othewise healthy. He does seem to have allergies ie, red eyes, itching, and the congestion which comes and goes. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

Every time we go for a walk in a park nearby my dog eats grass like there is no tomorrow. He never gets sick or throws up. I know the grass is clean but I'm always wondering if it's normal. I asked a friend who also owns a dog and she told me her dog never ate grass ever.

The two items i'm looking at are about the same price. The 3 in 1 pet stroller basically is a kennel with wheels and can act as a car seat. So, stroller, kennel, and car seat all in one. The other is just a regular kennel. I was just wondering if the pet stroller is going to do me any good? Do other people buy it for their pets?

The only reason I would consider getting the stroller is because I'm pregnate at the moment and can not lift heavy items. Therefore, the stroller can actually help me out by holding the kennel for me and me just pushing it to where ever.

Which one would you choose? Would the stroller be of any value to me after my baby is born? Would my pets actually get sick in the stroller? Please share, thanks!

I have a pug, and currently I just use water and Q-tips to clean his wrinkles out as best I can, but I can't seem to get them completely clean. I know there has to be some well kept secrets out there some where, so if anybody has a trick that works, I would greatly appreciate it!

I have two male 9 month old dogs and they seemed to be potty trained just fine. Then all of a sudden they began peeing on everything. Some people told me it was because they were males and they had to mark their territory. Is this true and if so how do i make them stop? I had to evict them to the backyard because it got so bad. someone help me and my dogs please!
