I want to have a dog shipped to Indiana but I was warned about all the dog scams. The breeder said I could pay the shipping directly, but should I trust this???

Hello, I recently bought a new Yorkie from a breeder....she asked me if I wanted her to tape to puppy's ears for the next month (while he is in her care). She said it was up to me, and that the dog's ears will stand up on their own eventually. I don't know much about taping, does it really matter?

We have a Dachshund who gave birth to 4 beautiful puppies 5 weeks ago. She has been the most wonderful mother. Now the puppies are 5 weeks old and this morning I heard one puppy holler and carrying on, so I figured our chihuahua might have snapped at him.

I went and checked and the mother had done it. The chihuahua was in his crate.

Anyway, The only thing I could tell that had happened is that the mother was eating some dry dog food and it seemed that the puppy had tried to get some as well. I've been keeping it from the puppies because the vet said not to give them anything til 8 weeks. I feel terrible for this because it seems to me that the puppies are ready to eat and mom is not feeding them as much as she used to. Is it time for food for the pups? They all have teeth.

My concern is why did such a good mother snap and hurt her puppy for trying to eat? Do mother dogs not like to share their food with the pups?

I hope I can get some helpful answers here. I have a 6 week puppy that the previous owner has placed a rubber band on her tail. I don't know what to do or what to expect. There is a part of me that wants to take it off but I am not sure how long it has been on there. It looks painful.

Any suggestions?

Anyone know of a good over the counter treatment for the mange? My dog is a shepard/collie mix, and has a large bald spot covering one hip, and the fur at the base of his tail is starting to thin out as well. I'm not even sure which type of mange it is. Unfortunately, I can't afford to take him to the vet, and even if I could afford it, Bandit is large, strong, and impossible to control. It would take nothing short of a tranquilizer dart to knock him out for a few hours in order to get him to the vet and get professional treatment. Any suggestions?
