Dogs - December 2006

My dog got sprayed by a skunk, because he got mad, and went to bite the skunk's butt! And, the f**king smell, is so da** dumb. What should I do?
Thanks, and pardon my language. My house is big, it's too strong.

I was hoping that someone with a dog may have had a similar situation and could offer some advice. The vet that I go to isn't open until Monday and I'm worried that it could be something serious that needs to be dealt with now.

We just got a new Shih tzu puppy.... she was 8 weeks old yesterday. She is solid white with a little black around her eyes and ears. Her beard already has a red color to it and I was wondering how you keep the Shih tzu face white? Any Shih tzu owners who have any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have a one and a half year old chihuahua that I put in an open-style crate while I go to work. I get home during lunch and let her out, etc. How long is too long for her to be in there? I leave food and water, toys, etc. and she never has accidents but don't want to be inhumane.

We have a 10 month old son and the puppy is 11 weeks old, almost house trained. I'm worried that all of them are hyper but my husband assures me they are not.

I'm gathering info for a rescue coalition meeting tomorrow.

Have you have ever given away a dog (I'm working with dogs specifically, so do not include other pets) that was your personal pet? If so, why? Was the dog spayed or neutered when you gave it away? Have you followed up to see what happened to the dog? If you could have resolved the issue that made you decide to give away the dog, would you have kept him or her?

Does your area have g'vt-funded animal control? Did you contact them to take your dog? Does your area have a humane society or rescue? Did you contact them? With what results?

If you don't mind, please answer the following semi-personal questions... as few or as many as you're comfortable with: Are you in the U.S.? If no, what country? If yes, are you in the northeast, southeast, midwest, west, southwest (or you can be a bit more specific)? This is most relevant as far as location: Do you live in a city, small or large town, urban or rural area?

Here's the deal. My dog somehow got into a box and ate a decent size cube of rat poison. This chunk was about the size of a little boy's hand balled into a fist. Once I realized what he had done I jerked him up and ran him to the bathtub, sat him in and poured peroxide down his throat to make him vommit. He vommited twice. We got in touch with three different vets and I am taking him to one early tomorrow morning for a vitamin K shot to counteract the poison. He is a pretty good size pup. Not quite a year old but a 55 pound pitbull puppy. Is there anything else I can do to ensure that he will be fine. Will he die? I sure hope, I care to much for him. The thought of him dying just makes me horribly sick to my stomach. Any other home remmedies untill tomorrow morning when he goes to the vet? Maybe even pour the peroxide down his throat once more to make him vommit again. The poison was colored blue and thats all he threw up was two huge sized ammount of blue stuff. Please help me! Thanks

My 12 y/o daughter, Jessika, wants a Labrador puppy for Xmas this year. I told her that it's not a good time around Xmas and I might get her a Lab puppy early/mid next Jan/Feb. The problem is, she wants one from a "reputable, registered" breeder. I told her why spend $800 for one when I can get one for $300 in the newspaper. Is there really a difference? I know about hip and elbow dysplasia but really, what are the chances of the pup getting dysplasia later in life?
She is very responsible and seems very comitted in getting a Lab. She has spent over 5 months researching the two breeds she wants: Lab or Golden Retriever. She decided that all the fur on the Golden would be a bit difficult for her to manage so has now been researching Labs even further! She spends hours on the net looking up breeders, info on dysplasia and other hereditary diseases etc.
I know not many 12 y/o's are as responsible when reasearching for a pup.
I have an 11 y/o son who now wants a JRT!

What do I do?

Would like some feedback. My 60 pound dog is scheduled for a tooth extraction(molar)this next week. The vet is charging me about $722.00. Does anyone know if this is about the going rate? Have never had to have this done before, so I do not know. Anyone out there know? Thank you.

Can a small saucer (perhaps .5 to 1oz) of wine hurt a dog? He is a 94lb German Shepard/Collie/Rottweiler mix. We were wondering if he liked the taste, and the answer is yes (he can not stand beer).

I just found out my mom's been feeding my dog Meow Mix for the past while. i heard once you shouldn't do things like this, but forgot why. She claims that the dog won't eat anything else. Should we find something she likes?
