He is going to be a very big boy...father weighed 110. He's 8 months old but looks like no one is feeding him. He gets 8 cups a day of 28% protein food. I have had him checked for parasites also. What can I do to make him look healthy?

On Christmas, my father fed my dad leftover turkey and my dog gobbled it all up before I could do anything about it. Today, my dog's poop is green. Is this from the turkey, or is something wrong with him?

destroying your stuff when you're away? I need the dog to be in the apartment when I'm off running errands, because I work from home and I can't afford to be robbed and lose my livelihood. But if the dog destroys my equipment I am ruined also. So, how do you have a guard dog, but safeguard the property from dog damage?

I have a 13 year old dog. She is my baby. She has lumps all over her (poor girl) her lips are starting to fall, her used to be beautiful white teeth are turning yellow, and she moans and groans all night. After a long day of walking or swiming she gets super stiff. And she has arthritus. What can i do to keep her happy and healthy in her older age?
ps
she is a medium mutt we think part blue healer, collie, springer spanial, mix. she eats twice a day, 2 cups of kibbles and bits.

I have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi (herding dog, small breed) that will chew and nip anything. This includes my hand, the Christmas tree, shoes, socks, and anything else. She has a habit of going into biting fits that could eventually cause serious damage, but she is just a pup. I have said no firmly and held her mouth shut until she calms down, but she still keeps biting. She is clicker trained and is encouraged not to bite, but she still bites.

For the past couple days.. my dog has been walking around dripping this milky discharge from her area. She'll lick herself profusly and the carpet if she finds a spot where she leaks. i'm not exactly sure but i think she might have recently had a cycle but now the milky discharge is starting to look more like blood (that smells really bad) The milky discharge started as little drips but now whatever it is that's dripping drips in NOT LARGE but big amounts... I've tried to stop the dripping by putting on my own homemade version of a diaper with a pad and underwear (sad i know) at around 11:00 pm and by 1:00 am the underwear was completely soaked. I'm not sure if it's due to her age or if it's an infection but it's almost financially impossible to take her to see a vet... Can anyone give some sort of advice to what i should do to make me dog more comfortable... Pills, a Vet's number, anything is appreciated...

He has 3 meals a day of hills science plan dry food ( we have just weaned him off royal canin due to a bout of ulcerated colitis). But he just swallows it without chewing causing it to clog in his throat! He's very greedy and always seems to want feeding. He's wormed up2 date and everything. But he's starting to scare me when it comes to meal times. what can I do? also how long after the second injection do I need to wait to take him out?

I have a rottweiler named Ham that loves to eat McDonalds and subway. His birthday is coming up and I am going to buy him a Triple Whopper from burger king and some fries. The only problem I have in doing this is he has very bad bowel problems for several days afterwards and vomits. I switched him to Diet Coke and it didn't seem to help. Are carbonated beverages not good for a dog's digestive system? I may switch to a Subway sandwich like Jared on the commercial talks about to cut down on carbs. Any ideas?

My puppy is 11 weeks old and her nails are insanely long! Whenever she jumps up on me to play, she leaves long, painful scratches all over me from her nails. Can I clip them myself? If so, how?

We cought him eating something in a friend's garden, and we stopped him, but he had already eaten some, and there were fish bones among them. Have you had any such experience? If he has no symptom for a couple of days does this mean there is no problem?

PS. I have already called the vet, she said to watch for symptoms for 2 days, but I am wondering if anyone has had some similar experience and if so, what symptoms to expect.

My 2 1/2 year old lab mix was nuetered at 6 months. Over the weekend while at my in laws he started spraying in the house. Not a full urination, just a quick spray. He did it once at my in laws that do not have a dog and once at my brothers home that has two dogs. Why would he suddenly start this and and how do I stop it from happening again?!

I'm assuming the "Dog Whisperer" is expensive. Does anyone know how much it costs for him to come to your home and see your dog?

My dog won't stop barking, as soon as she is placed outside she barks at the wind and anything else she decides to bark at. She loses out at being outdoors because I can't take the barking.
