Dogs - November 2006

Her dog is 14,vomiting blood, has bloody diaherra--but, she can't afford cost of Vet putting dog down. It's a pomeranian. What other options are there? The dog is already blind, and has been failing pretty quick. Not humane to prolong this. Any free options I could tell her about?

I know she is part German Shepherd but don't know what else she is mixed with. Some people tell me Lab, while some say Chow. Thanks.

I live with a very clean gf and although we've got a cat, we're thinking of adopting a dog as well. The problem with a dog is that we're not sure that it cleans it's behind after using #2 like a cat does. Also is it possible to potty train a dog and are there doggy litter like for cats. Thanks, we thinking of getting a Labrador.

My dog died in June 2006, and ever since then he has been kept in our storage freezer. We do not believe in cremating him or burying him. Is this illegal?

My puppy is about 7 months old and very sweet. She is extremely well behaved and completely potty trained. We tend to spoil her and take her with us everywhere and she is constantly around people. Since we got her, she has rarely been left home alone. We used to lock her in the kitchen (only for short periods of time)using a baby gate, but also leaving her access to the back yard. Once she got big enough she learned to jump over the gate and started to destroy anything and everything she could get her mouth on in the house. She was looking for things to destroy, things she wouldnt even bother with or notice if we were home with her. She knew what she was doing was wrong. The second we would come home to find her mess, she would be cowering under the table or running away scared. My questions is this...other than the obvious punishments (bad dog, shown the mess, locked outside), how can I cure her of this habit? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

My sister has a boxer named Emma. Emma has recently (within the last 2 weeks) began using the bathroom inside instead of outside. She hasn't urinated but keeps defacting in the same rooms. Prior to this happening, she was completely trained and rarely had an accident. Any ideas as to what might be causing this behavior? Also, do you know of any ways to change this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

My dog is getting his leg amputated (he was born with a shriveled leg and he is 1, so he is used to not having it) and being neutered today. Does anyone have any hints on what to expect while Duke recovers, and what I can do to make him comfortable? He has a very good temperment, but is it still possible that he will growl and snap at me when I attempt to assist him with anything?

She loves milk, so from time to time, I give her a small saucer full. Is this ok?

I am thinking about getting a dog. I live alone, in a 2-bedroom house. The yard is not fenced in, and I don’t plan on fencing it. So it would have to be a house dog that goes for a couple of walks a day. I’d prefer an adult, somewhere between 2 and 5 years old. I don’t care if it's a pure-bred or mutt. I’d prefer a small to medium dog, no more than 50 pounds, but not a teacup or toy either.

I saw a cocker spaniel at the local humane society. He’s about 3 or 4 years old, seems friendly but not jumpy, he’s been there for a while (I’ve forgotten why), already housebroken, already neutered. The people there think he would be a good match for me, and I agree - except this whole Cocker Rage thing. How prevalent is the problem? Is there a certain age that it manifests? Should I get a mutt instead? What other breeds should I consider?

Thanks!

Me and my husband have had our bull terrier for 2 years now. she gets yeast ear infection all the time. Our vet gave us anti-biotics and we switched her diet to eating only fresh food we made with no perseratives. our vet also switch her heart wom because that too had artificial flavor. It was good for a couple of months but now her ear infections back. I can't keep going to the vet every three months like this and paying hundreds of dollars. Has anyone else had this happen? If so what did you do?

My friend smokes pot all the time and gets her dog high a lot. I was wondering about the long term effects of getting your dog stoned all the time. This seems stupid but if she is putting her dog in serious danger I would like her to know about it. I realize any smoke is bad but is it toxic to animals over time?

I just wanted to know because I get so sad when I think of my dog dying. She's such a sweet, loveable little thing, and I just cannot imagine life without her. She is a 5 year old Beagle/Terrier mix. I've had her since she was 6 weeks old. She's in pretty good health. She went through a flea crisis this summer, but with the help of Frontline she's all better now! She's fairly active, most of the time she just likes to lay around the house and play with her toys.

All of my dogs, and my kitten had tapeworm. The vet said that I had to go around and clean up the animal "droppings". I did that but what is a way to make sure that there is no tapeworm in my yard? I have a very large yard, is there any way?

We had to clean up the poop so that they won't get it again. Please if your going to tell me i'm wrong or anything please don't post on this. The animals already have been taken care of.

Thanks!

Has anyone here ever judged dogs to the "Standard" ?
I know the standard but, I have a question on judging. Yesterday I asked if anyone knew if my dogs two faults were going to inhibit his ability to win in the ring. I am new to showing and not 100% sure about the scoring process. He is a Saint Bernard with light eyes and a 1/2 inch area on the lip that is white. I havent been able to find info on line that answers this question. Can someone offer the answer or a good web site ? I was on hold with the AKC for 35 mins. I gave up...How do judges score a fault and is it only traits that will pass with breeding (like light eyes) that are considered major flaws?
