Dogs - November 2006

I have a 4 1/2 month old female Husky. When we got her, we were completely prepared to take on this breed that has such a reputation for being a complete handful. We were starting to think we had an exception to the breed, she is very sweet and cuddly, she is full of energy but not surprisingly so, and most importantly, she is obedient! Then I read a posting by a LokiWolf, who said it wasn’t until they are about 6 months of age that they begin to exhibit the full spectrum typical husky behaviors. If any other Husky owner has experienced this, which, I’m sure they have, how drastic is the behavior change? Am I just dreaming that we may have the best behaved Husky that ever lived?? :)

I went to the vet, and he has been coughing worse then usual. An they have to give him chest x-rays, and blood work done. Is this bad, or good? Thanks for the input.

My female dog is not fixed and is harassing my new male does that has been fixed. Just wondering if her harassing is going to get her into something she may not really want.

We have a four-year old lhaso apso mix, which we got two years ago. For those first two years, we lived in a large apartment. There were never barking problems.

We just bought our first home, and it has a fenced in backyard. Now, from the time our pup goes outside to do his business until he comes back in, he is barking. It doesn't matter what time it is, and it doesn't matter if we are with him or not.

He barks at EVERYTHING. If he glimpses any type of movement (even shifting light, it seems) or hears any sound from the other side of the fence, he runs in that general direction barking his head off, and doesn't stop for quite a while.

I understand that he's probably just protecting his territory, and having a backyard will be an adjustment for him. But my husband and I leave pretty early for work, and we don't want to be the annoying neigbors with the noisy dog. What can we do?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. They are stupid, ugly dogs! I think people get them because they are insecure! If you want a guard dog, get a beautiful doberman or sheperd, atleast most of those won't attack little kids for no reason. As a very experienced dog trainer, I have worked with many. And they simply don't have the "brains" like some breeds like Aussies or Retrievers. And let's face it, they are ugly! Don't chew me out. I'm entitled to my own opinion. I just think we need to start making people who want to own them pay alot of money to license them and take them to obedience from a puppy and if there dog attacks someone for no reason, they should go to jail! I'm sure there are some nice ones out there but there are no smart ones and certainly no pretty ones!

Is there anyone that can give me any information on rectal prolapse. Using the symptons she has I spent the entire nite online looking for anything that could help me and my little baby out and it looks like rectal prolapse is the culprit. Can anyone please tell me how a pup so young could get this? Is it common or is it something I may have caused. I don't mean intentionally, my baby means the world to me and I would never, ever do her any harm. What are the treatment procedures, could it kill her? I live in a very small town and I'm waiting for my vet to open up but it won't be until around noon.

I first noticed it late in the day yesterday when it appeared she was trying to poop for long periods of time yet nothing but a yellow/brownish liquid would come out. When I checked her there was a tiny,reddish mass protruding from her rectom. It is very sensitive the the touch. She wasn't very active then, but this morning she's been playing with her toys. Can someone please help me...

I bred my St. Bernard boy dog with my friends female. My friend knows what she is doing because she has done a lot of research, but me on the other hand, I just know I had to get my male checked for health problems like Hip Displasia and stuff like that. (Please don't tell me that I need to do this and that because we have been to the vet and had both dogs checked and okayed for breeding! Both have pedagrees also!) My question is, While the female was in heat, she acceptede the male from the 26th of October to the 1st of November. She was still in heat for 3 days after the 3rd, but the male would not hump any more. Does this mean the female is Pregnant, or what does this mean?

I know it is probably down to her age, but for the past two months she has become quite incontinent!! It has got to the stage where she can't be left on her own because of wanting to go into the garden all the time. It is worse at night and I have even got to the point of sleeping downstairs just to let her out! Apart from this, for her age, she is in good health but I am at my wits end! Has anyone got any sensible suggestions?

I've had a fear of dogs for a long time. I don't think it's something I can get over. I just want to know how to deal with people, who don't understand my fear of dogs. My MIL has 6 dogs in total, and I honestly don't want to go there at Christmas time because of the dogs. She doesn't want to put them outside while I'm there, and that's fine by me, but if she doesn't want to do that, then I don't think I can go there. Also, what am I going to do when my daughter gets older so she isn't afraid of dogs like I am? What about when I bring her to a Birthday Party or to her friends, and I can't get out of the car because theres a dog? This has affected my life in many ways. Thanks for any advice.

I feed my terrier dry food and before each meal he tentatively chooses a piece of food and carries it off to a private corner to eat. Then he will return to the bowl and eat from it until he's done. What is he doing?
