My female is at 57 days and she started the panting and moaning about 3 hours ago. She couldnt keep still and is wimpering every so often. I am not sure but think she is getting close. Her puppies have been very active up until now. Will their activity decrease close to labor?

She hasn't even been limping. She's just completely hopping around with her hind right leg up in the air. Her ankle/hock joint seems swollen, but she'll let me touch it and she doesn't seem to have any external injuries on her leg or foot. She had to have acl surgery a year ago for her back left leg. She's a lab mix, about 80 lbs, a bit overweight. With her acl, she'd at least limp on the bad leg. I've got a vet appt. for her asap, but it's still two days away b/c of the holiday & Colorado weather. What could she have done and how can I make her more comfortable in the meantime?

My dog is a small 10 pound manchester toy terrier. Loves ppl, but tends to pee a little on strangers when they say hello to him. He is at their feet wanting them to say hello, but it's embarressing when he pees!

I would really like a breeder that breeds yorkies with a long silky coat and prices less then $2000 per pup b/c i'm interested in 2 pups............. Also are there any converters out there that know any thing about converting USD (us dollars) into Czech Republic money (Czech Republic Koruny CZK, i believe)? ............... I have found a website ( http://www.evittoriamaltese.cz/strana_page.php?j=ang ) that breeds maltese and I am interested in one of them. The thing is the money is CZK and i need to know how much 800 CZK is in USD. I have found a website where the money equals to a little over $38 but i'm not sure if that is right. Can someone help convert 800 CZK into us dollars?

I have a maltese he's about 1 1/2 yrs old. Got him from a breeder when he was 6 months. Today he was on my bed with his bone/treat (the bone was not in his mouth) I picked him up and nicely put him on the ground, he started growling and bit me on my hand twice and jumped up and bit me on my thigh (so bit me three times). Luckily they are not deep, but still have to get a tetanus shot. And one time he bit me on my arm (not deep) for taking him off the couch when he was playing with his bone (yeah I know I should have learned!). He has also bitten my sister once but that was b/c his nail got stuck on the bedsheet and as she was trying to get him unstuck it was probably hurting him and he bit her on the finger, that wound was somewhat deep. So in this situation I dont blame the dog b/c he was probably in pain. But what happened today I'm confused b/c Ive never really heard of dogs biting their owners. Not too sure what to do? is he just a aggressive dog? need training? get rid of him?

Eight year old dachshund needs to lose three pounds in three months, or less.
We cant walk her because of the weather, we dont have any local dog parks and she doesnt like to play with her toys for longer than five minutes everyday.
I know, I've got a problem, any suggestions? activities? We've already cut back on her food

So: Earlier this evening while I was at work, my mother decided to make her first attempt at trimming my lab's nails. She went about it with no experience or knowledge, and used the guillotine clippers.
I come home tonight, only to find blood streaks on the floor of her room, and my mother's story that the dog pulled away, causing them to have pulled out one of her nails entirely.
I've suggested taking her to a vet, and this has been taken into consideration. Has this happened to anyone else?

My dog of 18 years passed away.About three days ago, she experienced her first epilepsy. She had two more, we had her on medication. She was in so much pain, crying a lot, had temporary blindnes. She woke up yesterday with a lot of pain, her crying was very loud, and she could barely move. She was suffering too much. She has been through so much that it really broke my heart watching her suffer (6 tumor operations + chemo). My family and I decided to put her to sleep. It would have been very selfish of my part to keep her alive, knowing that she was suffering in pain. I said a little prayer, gave her kisses, and she looked at me in pain, staring at me...that image will remain for the rest of my life. I left the room because I did not want to see her when the doctor put her to sleep. She was a trooper, a family member who was with us for 18 years. 18 years where the majority of the dogs do not live to that age. We really took care of her. But I know that she is in a better place...

I have a 13 week old male lhasa that insists on pottying in the house. We take him for walks, let him out to play, run him outside if we catch him going inside, but he holds it until he gets back in and then p's. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could it be he just dont know when he has to go, or would the cold air make him not be able to go? He poops outside too......any help would be appreciated!
