Dogs - January 2007

i found this little (maybe 8 week old) kitten last friday night. i took him to the vet first thing saturday morning. the vet gave me ointment for his eyes because they were sealed shut with infection and oral antibiotics for his congestion. when i found him he could barely even breath or move for that matter. he looks better and sounds a lot less congested. i've been forcing kitten milk down his throat every couple of hours and he reluctantly takes it but i'd really like to see him showing some interest in eating or drinking on his own. he might be blind but i'm not sure yet. i pry his eyes open and put the ointment in his eyes twice a day but he doesn't try to open them on his own yet. he seems so pitiful but i'm still holding out hope. i know i should go ahead and get him tested for feline aids and leukemia but i guess i'm stalling because i don't want to find out that he really is that sick.

He relieves himself in morning before I go to work, once again at lunch I come home and of course in the evening and he still is having this issue. He is a 8 month old cane corso... My rotty never gave me this much of a problem. And when I'm home he barks only after he's done is business in his crate. WHAT TO DO???

I am looking to purchase and new dog soon and I have been looking at Labs, Beagles, Weimareners, and American Dingos. I just want a medium-big sized dog that will be a good companion and a moderate shedder. But I also want a dog that will go catch a frisbee if I throw it. Any good ideas?

My boyfriend got a puppy about a month ago. She is healthy and vibraqnt in all ways but at times her head will tremor a bit and she'll loose her balance and fall over. Last night was the first time she was on the ground and her head shook. It was as if she was having a problem lifting it. After her "Spell" she seems to not have any problems going along and playing. Her vet did take blood and everyting came back fine, and the vet did change her diet to a lower protein food. For a day or so it seemed she was getting better, now it seems the head tremors are worsening. Does anytone have any idea what causes this?

We have had our Bloodhound since he was 6 weeks old. He is now 11 weeks old. He is a great dog, until its time to get in his crate at night (or when we leave). We did pretty bad with him with the whole potty training deal. We didn't know this was wrong at but when our bh would pee we would rub his nose in it and said bad then put him in his crate. That is what we were taught. OK yall we know it is bad now. And now when he does it, we don't say anything, pick him up and put him outside til he does his buisness. But my problem is, he HATES going in his crate. He will pee in it. Give us no warning. I KNOW that he is scared to be in there. What can I do, for him to trust us, and for him to be comfortable in his crate? I honestly think he is peeing in his cage because he is scared. I want to build the trust with him again and I don't want him to be scared when he goes in there (and not pee!).

She is the runt, and when her siblings rough house and such, she stays clear... is that a sign for her future temperment? She is part pitbull.

She is 3 years old, and loves digging through the garbage. I've only had her for 4 months, so I don't know if this is a new habit or not. Short of putting the garbage cans on counters, tables, etc., which is unsanitary, does anybody know of a solution to keep her from getting into the trash?

I have seen a behaviourist, but I want some wider advice- I won't use harsh methods, but the softly positive reward based stuff does not seem to be working at the moment. Can anyone help please?

It is my neighbors hound mix dog that has injured one of his ears. This was about a week or so ago and with the dog flopping his ears due to the injury the wound continues to remain open and bleeding. As it is not my dog I don't feel I should take him to a vet but would certinally try any other method to help the wound heal.

i just got a pitbull puppy in december. the puppy is now 4 months old. when i first got her she ate 3 times a day no problem at all. as soon as i put the food down it was gone is seconds. now last week out of the blue she didnt want to eat lunch. which is weird because she would eat as soon as u gave her food. well for the past week i have tried everything to make her eat and she wont. she will be her bone treats or any other dog treats but when i put the bowl of food down she sniffs it but wont eat. i have tried mixing dry food with wet, or just giving her straight wet food, or i even put human gravy on her food and she just licked the gray off, never ate the food. i even tired crushing bones in her food and she will pick out the bone pieces and eat it. What is wrong with my dog? she in the past week has prolly eatin maybe a cup all put together. she is still very energetic. loves to play all the time, isn't that sleepy doesnt seem sick. her nose is cold and wet all the time.

10. They will steal your spot on the couch while you are up getting a soda.

9. They will take the treat you give them and bury in the back yard like a paranoid crack head hiding their stash.

8. They will jump on your bed with muddy feet. Making you do laundry…again.

7. They will lick visitors with an uncontrolled passion only they understand.

6. They will cause children to smile.

5. They will make you feel horrible for not walking them by looking at you with deep sad eyes.

4. They will look at you like you committed a crime against them if you don’t let them lick your ice cream bowl.

3. They will cause wide spread happiness in large group settings.

2. They will crack you up by shaking their butts so hard you think they are going to snap in half.

And the number one reason why you can’t trust vicious Pit Bulls…

1. They will steal your heart like a thief in the night, showing you complete and pure love that only a Pit Bull can show.

I have a 2.5 year old male chihuahua and he's crazy. One second he's calm and relaxed and sleeping on your lap. As soon as you move, he growls and snaps at you. One minute he's licking your face, if you turn your head he bites your nose (as he did to my mother). My wife babied him from a puppy, so he is a big suck, but we've been trying really hard to be strict with him for the last year and a half. What can we do mellow out his bi-polarness?
