Dogs - December 2006

It just started today, but her right hind leg will limp sometimes and she's running sort of funny (like her right hind leg is somehow bothering her). She does NOT seem to be in pain when I press it or massage the area, but she seems reluctant to walk on the aforementioned leg. She picks it up in the air and just keeps it there so she walks on 3 legs instead of 4. Could it be hip dysplasia? She's a 3-year-old Miniature Pinscher and I hear that they are very prone to stuff like hip problems.

I've already checked for something that might be stuck in her paw and that doesn't seem to be the case.

his 3.5 months old and has all his current shots (corona, parvo..etc)..so, I don't understand the reasons why he would have diahrrea for 2 days now. He does not vomit though, nor looses his appetite. The vet gave him some tablets yesterday so that the diahrrea would stop, and my pup received a second deworming yesterday as well. He went through the "ear crop" surgery yesterday though, so i'm not sure if it has something to do with it. Today I fed him cooked rice, eggs, and chicken; plus, royal canin dry food and Hills Science diet canned food as well. I would really appreciate it if you guys have any advice or recommendations on what to feed him, or do before I can take him to the vet again (in case the diahrrea doesn't stop with the medication).

My dog (a border collie mix) insists that you will scratch this area. It has become an obsession with him. When you are standing/walking, he'll slip between your legs and stand there for you to scratch him. If you walk forward, he walks backwards to stay in this spot. If you turn around and away from him, he'll just turn around and slip right between your legs. If you ignore him he talks (not barking, not growling, just a talky noise sounds like "roo") and will paw at your leg until you give up and scratch his butt. It's also like his spot that makes his leg quiver and shake when you scratch it.

I've tried looking online for an answer, and while it seems to be a common thing for dogs to like, I can't seem to find a reason WHY.

We recently got a puppy. She's a 7 week old cocker spaniel black lab X. She is chewing and biting a lot but i assume this is just a stage and she'll get over it soon.
If anyone knows any good puppy websites or has any helpful ideas they would be much appreciated

So, a family friend of ours has 4 boxer puppies for sale for $450 each. However, she said I could get whatever puppy I wanted, for only $350. I want the runt of the little, she is a light brown and a fighter. I'm in college right now, in the dorms, but my boyfriend and I will be getting a place come January. By the way, the puppies will b ready for new homes on x-mas. I've had a puppy before, and I know I can take care of it, but for some reason she just isn't going for it. What do I do?!

I bought a 6 week old Great Dane puppy, however she was the runt of the litter. Her mom and dad were HUGE, and I would love for her to grow to that size. Does anyone know if she stands a chance to be that big, or do runts typically have a lower growth rate? Also I have owned young Dane's before and I don't remember them being this small at 6 weeks. Thoughts?

I have grown so attached to my dog and vise versa. He is the most important thing in my family's life. One thing that worries me is his constant separation anxiety with me only. Whenever I go for a short 3 day vacation or just to the mall with some friends he freaks out. He barks, cries and occasionally will soil our carpet. I'm very worried about when I go to college next year. I have a friend whose dog did the same and once she got a second dog he completely stopped because he was not alone. Please help me think of reasons to why this would work for us.
