I have a 3 year old female miniature pinscher, and she does not like other dogs. Shes never really been around another dog, but the few times she has (around our apartment complex) she has become very aggresive towards them. My mom is getting a female puppy and I told her I would dog sit if she ever went on vacation (maybe once a year). I was planning on bringing her dog into my apartment to watch it. Is there any way that these two dogs can get along? How can I make this happen?

I have a 16 month old ex-cruelty case rescue dog (maltese x poodle) who still had stiches in her belly from her de-sexing opperation when i got her. She now had a terribly lumpy scar which is much higher on her abdomen that other dogs who have gone through the same procedure. Is it at all possible that the vet who administered the opperation miscalculated and somehow botched the surgery so my dog is still able to have puppies? I'm not necessarily interested in breeding her, I am just worried about her.

Does anyone know anything can can cause such a terrible scar on a dog? It feels like she was butchered (my poor little baby!) I took very good care of her stiched while she had them in - i didnt let them get wet, nor did i let her scratch or bite at them. i constantly monitored them. also, i got the stiches out at exactly the right time (from what the vet told me).

I bathe her and clean her ears but she still smell awful. Is there something I can use to help rid her of the smell. She's so sweet but I can hardly stand to touch her.

He's been to the vet, he's 3 months (i have posted a lot in the last 2 days, lol), vet is now closed. They are aware of his appetite suppression for the last 18 hours or so.
They suggested chicken broth over his food, not working.
Havent changed his food at all, he's just not feeling good and is on med's (metoclopermide for vomiting, and Amoxil).
He also got a shot for fluid's (like an IV, but not as much involved).
So, he's sore all around his back and shoulder's.

What can I do to help him want to eat? I dont want to do anything that is table scrap if I can help eat (ie:chicken, cheese, ect), as he may grow accustomed to recieving this and make more problems with his eating.

Suggestions on things that have worked for you?

is there any other reason a dog would have swallen nipples apart from if she was pregnant?
there was another dog in my yard the other day and it appears that he slept over as he was in her bed, this was about 2 weeks ago.
bathed her yesterday and noticed her nipples was 2-3 times her normal size.
is there any thing at all that it could be other than pregnancy?
thanks :)

I have a 4 year old Maltese who knows the basic commands... sit, stay, speak, down etc. He listens very well at home (key word "at home"). If I take him outside or somewhere that's unfamiliar to him, he doesn't pay any attention to me and in some cases will run off. Any advise on how to get him to listen in situations that distract his attention from me?

My 3 year old male German shepherd has had recurring urinary tract infections. He has been on 3 rounds on antibiotics. They even gave him a shot of antibiotic this last time to give it a jump. Has any one had this same problem and what finally cured it. I treated him this summer for heartworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and roundworms. He was a rescue that was badly neglected but has come around to be a wonderful dog. I am looking for anything to helf him. I have his sister who I have had since she was 6 weeks. She is extremely healthy. No problems ever. Help!

My chihuahua is overly protective of his food, his toys, bones, etc, a lot of times I dont think much and walk or sit close to him and he growls and sometimes even bites. Ive tried everything, from telling him calmly "No", by shouting "No", by hitting him not really hard with a newspaper, it doesnt work, today I got so angry cause he bit me when I was walking by while he was eating (I live in an apartment and my space is reduced I had to grab something right across from him) so I hit him really hard on his butt, like a little kid, I feel so guilty, but I just think is ridiculous to be afraid of my own dog.
He also wants to sleep with my husband and me at night, I always go "Down" and sometimes he obeys and goes to his own bed, but sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom or something and he is sleeping in my bed and growls and barks cause he doesnt like to be disturbed wiht my movements, he has tried to bite sometimes too. I am loosing my patience.
