Dogs - January 2007

Does anyone have any "home remedies"? I can't really afford to take her to the vet and get expensive medicine. I would appreciate any ideas.

We just got a Siberian Husky for Christmas. He's now 12 weeks old. He's currently undergoing obedience training. I've read a lot about huskies and they say that two is better than one due to they get bored easily. We try to spend a lot of time with him but that's not always possible. Anyway, I have my eye on the Alaskan Malamute. Is it better to get a puppy now while my other one is still young and so that they can grow together or should I wait till my husky gets bigger and better trained, or does it really matter? I also realize that having two puppies would be a handful and possibly a challenge. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

The real bad thing is that my chihuahua weighs 5lbs and the puppy we adopted weighs 20lbs. I'm scared that the puppy may inadvertently hurt or squash my chihuahua, just trying to defend himself. They are both males but we also have two other female dogs, one chihuahua, the other a beagle, and they get along great.

I have seen questions about "What type of personality would their malti-poo have?" or "Does a Pom-Chi shed?" Or "What will their Bull-Shih look like when it grows up?"

Do people not understand that these are mutts? There is really no way of knowing which breed it will get the dominant genes from! I have read repeatedly that they are healthier than pure-bred dogs. How can that be true when there are no reputable breeders who would breed these mixed breed mutts? And the dogs they use for breeders aren't the best quality! Therefore, the puppies can't be expected to be the healthiest either!

Research also proves that mixed breeds and not pure bred dogs are the type of dog most often involved in inflicting bites to people.

So, my question is, Why INTENTIONALLY breed these mutts?

When ever my mom yells at me, or me and my brother fight, or something he gets in their face and growls, and threatens to bite them, he raises all the hair on his back and gets between whoever it is, and me and wont let them move untill i okay it, or reassure him. i have had dobes all my life and i know thats what they are bred for but, i have never had one who was this protective of me. i mean its a good thing sometimes, like when i was at the petstore and a man kept following me, and finally just grabbed me when i was trying to hide, thank god i had hammer, or i dont know what would have happend. but in the end the man had 62 stiches, and was arrested. but i dont know, any ideas whta i could do to reduce the over protetion of me?

We just recently got a 11 month old puppy basset. We also have a cat. The two it seems have no problems, when the dog sleeps the cat comes and lays near the dog, when the dog is awake he wants to find the kitty and bark. It seems like he wants to play, but the cat wont have it. Is there anything I can do to make these two remain in the same room? Currently, I have my cat in my bedroom with the door closed or else the dog will bark non stop for hours....

I have a 4 mo. old puppy who is very good at going outside to use the bathroom. The problem is, is that she still goes in the house, and won't wine at the door to go "potty". She ends up going on the floor, and most of the time its not on her paper. The carpets are getting disgusting, though I clean them all of the time. Is there a way to train her to whine at the door to go potty? Also does anyone know of a good spray to use or a home remedy I can put on the floors to deter her from using the floors to void herself? Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

My dog needs an operation, she's torn her cruciate ligament (her knee) and is limping and in pain. She means the world to me and I need to get it done ASAP - it tears my heart out to see her in pain. The operation will cost around $500 plus boarding fees for a few days. How can I save money within a short amount of time (i.e. a month at worst), while still paying bills and debts off?!

Please don't reply if you hate dogs or are going to be negative about spending a large sum on a dog.

I am genuine and I hope those who answer this are too.

I have two dogs that smell bad. They are two big dogs. It is too cold to give them a bath outside and the two big dogs won't get in the tub inside, so how do I make them smell better then they do?

we live in the country, so we have plenty of room for running and playing, although the dog will be sleeping in the house-2 girls, age 11 and 5, both have lived around dogs their entire lives-we need some ideas on a good breed-nothing really long-haired, or requiring all kinds of special grooming (poodles are DEFINITELY out) and we don't want some little thing the size of a housecat...our last dog was a rotti/lab mix of about 130-140 lbs. we have had dogs as small as a scottie, but we like having a larger dog, and i feel more secure when i'm away knowing that there is a big dog at home watching out for my girls-any suggestions?

he was looking at a wire haird fox terrier, which is a larger breed, does anyone know about that breed and if it will take to my puppy, if not what breed would be right, I want a male so they can be play pals and bff! Also we are in apartments, so it has to be about the same energy level as a shih tzu.

My pup (peke-a-tzu) is being really agressive, he is seven months. We had problems with him trying to eat everything in site when outside. At first he would let us take it out of his mouth, but then he started getting to the point where he would bite, growl, etc. if we tried to remove it. He had one thing that made him sick, luckily he was able to pass it. But no matter how much we watched, he always seemed to find something.

So we started letting him carry a toy outside that he only got when we were out there. He was very proud and wouldn't put it down. Problem solved. Well, then we got a new problem, he got to the point where he didn't want to give the toy back. My vet said to try to trade him for treats. So we started that, he did really good, for a while.

Now, if we give him the treat, he tried to, literally, attack us if we go to pick him up. So, then they recommended having him walk in on his own. We started that and he is doing really well with it.

Help Me! My dog just started pucking last night. He is about 14 weeks old. I can't get him into a vet till next friday. What could it be? He has been eating the same dog food since we got him @ 10 weeks old and never had anytrouble with him. He eats table scraps all the time as well but the other night i gave him some scraps he seemed fine. Woke up and there was puke on the floor at the foot of my bed! And just a few hours ago he was given the crust of a pizza like always but a few hours later he was puking it up. a few hours prior to that the puck looked like phleam. like a sinus infection. I don't know what to do for him he lays around and looks misserable what can i do? Oh yea his name is rocky and he is a doberman , and pitbull mix. Thanks
