Dogs - December 2006

My grandaughter asked me this question on my 50th birthday, and I just told her dogs are like boys, they are just too happy & dumb.they don't have wonderful things to do like girls, polishing fingernails, changing our clothes, & grooming. Is this a good answer for a 6 year old girl?

I took her outside to poop and she did, and then walked some... after a bit i brought her inside she right away went poop again and it was kind of alot.

We used to keep our pomeranian in the house until he started peeing everywhere(don't worry, we don't keep him outside). We put like 6 peeing pads all over the house and he pees on curtains, couches, any furniture. We walk him in the morning, and he pees, but he never does the other thing. So, when we get home he always poops somewhere else(sometimes on the peeing pad). But, he ruins all the really expensive furniture and then it smells. What should I do?

At first my golden retriever was very nice to other dogs and always wanted to play with them. But after a while he started to attack them. Every time he sees another dog all of his hair on his back stands up and he starts to bark. He runs and tries to bite the other dogs. And he has before.The thing is that the other dogs give him no reason to do this? Why is he doing this and is there a way to stop him?

I have an 8 week old pug and i noticed after a while she would shake for 5 to 10 seconds or until i gently shook her to wake her up. They are not like little dreams, she would be in a deep sleep and then her whole body would shake alot and i noticed her eyes shook with it until i woke her which is hard when she is shaking uncontrolably like this.

We got our german shepard from the local vet. They said they found him in Indianapolis so we took him. About a year or so he started to attack our dachshund but didnt hurt him intil two nights ago (bad fight) we called our vet and they said that its normal but 4 holes on another dog isnt normal. What should we do?

We have a 8 month old Brittany Spaniel who never seems to run out of energy. Especially at night. None of us have gotten a decent night of sleep in a while. I can usually fall asleep anywhere, any time, but something about his incessant whining keeps me up.

Is there anything I can do, give him, or otherwise to put him to sleep?

I'm getting a beagle on Tuesday, she's is 14months old, she is 12lbs. Is that a normal weight for a beagle? Are there smaller breeds like miniature? I saw her picture she looked really healthy but I'm just asking because I've never heard of a 12lb beagle.

Now, when we try to take our pants off she grabs hold of the garment and humps away. I tell her that isn't very lady like but she won't listen. Seriously, I didn't know female dogs did this. Is this unusual?

We are bringing her to the vet in the morning, but we would like an idea of what her symptoms could mean. It happened very suddenly late yesterday. She looks as if her hips or back legs are very stiff and painful. She is unable to stand up on her own and can only limp a short distance outside to go to the bathroom. There were no signs of discomfort or anything before yesterday. There is no history of hip displasia in her bloodline, although she is 8 years old and in the past had 2 litters of pups. She spent all day yesterday in the fenced in back yard with our 6 month old yellow lab and we maybe think they played too rough and she's just a little sore. Any ideas or suggestions on what could be going on or how to make her a little more comfortable until the morning would be appreciated. Thanks

My lab Brandy is only about 9 months old..she has been found with epliepsy. It's apparently common in labs, but I've never seen any other dogs really go through with it. My vet says to pet her and comfort her, since she's scared which makes sense. I'd like to be able to hold her. But im afraid to move her when she passes out. Should I just put a blanket over her?
Im in Vet. Asst. at high school, and I know how to handle animals. But she acts diffrently when she passes out, so she's harder to control then any other dog I know. She gets jumpy and snaps....any suggestions?
thanks =]

oh for those who don't know what eplipsey is here you go:
**A transient seizure or fit usually associated with a short-lived disturbance of consciousness. It stems from a synchronous high-voltage electrical discharge from groups of neurones in the brain. The disorder takes several forms, which include loss of consciousness with generalized convulsions (grand mal), short periods of loss of consciousness
