We put my almost 17 year old dog to sleep yesterday because she was so old and could hardly walk anymore and then buried her. I'm only 13, and this was my first experience losing something that I loved. I can't stop crying; she was here my whole life and I can't get over her.

My dog just broke her water, we think. We found a wetspot on the carpet. Is it like a women, I mean is it a good amount of water? If she did indeed break her water, how long now till she starts panting and stuff? She is pretty normal right now.

If my female pomeranian weighed 2 pounds at 18 weeks and just at 4 pounds at 6 months, how much can I expect her to weigh full grown? I know breedres often use a formula for guessing weights by age. Also, how much bigger can I expect her to get? She is very tiny! I've seen 10 week old Pomeranians bigger than my 6 month old!

Here is a picture of my princess.

I have a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, named Patch. I want to buy him the best dog food and I need help. Switched him from Royal Canine to Canidae but he started gaining weight. I tried the Canidae for Seniors but that only maintained his heavy weight. The Veterinarian prescribed him the Science Diet Prescription diet, but now Patch is pooping four times a day and has some kind of skin reaction from it. So, I need a new dog food but something that won't make him gain weight again. I only want the best for him. Please help.
Thanks so much!

My puppy is about 5 months old and his canine teeth are coming in. However, his puppy canine teeth are still in also. Do I need to take him to the vet to have them removed, or will they just fall out in time?

Help! She's a Cavalier. I feed her a 1/4 cup dry food in AM, and 3/4 cup with about 1-2 Tablespoon of can food (for flavor. She's not crazy about the dry stuff) in the evening. She acts like she's starving to death, and will eat anything. She's gained, instead of losing!! I walk her every day for about 1/2 -1 mile. I feed her weight control Kibble & Bits. HELP1

If a dog has an allergic reaction to a product and it causes neurological problems i.e. loss of ability to use back legs and incontenance is it possible for this to be permanent, or if you remove the cause will the symptoms always go away?

I have a 1 year 8 month old shepard mix lab. For some reason she puts her butt against the floor/carpet and rubs and starts to drag it against the floor. She does constantly across the room as long as its carpeted. Does anyone know why a dog would do that. She's fixed since she was 5 or 6 month old and she doesn't go into menstration. Does anyone know what the reason could be?

Ok..FINALLY!! I managed to get my parents to take our pet Jack Russell (Aged 11) to the vets this week. After a blood test, they think he may have cushings disease. They want us to make a decision.. we can have him put on a course of tablets for the rest of his life, costing £50 a month.. or have him put to sleep.

he will never be cured.

does anyone have experience with cushings in a pet dog? and did they use tablets? how long did your pet live after treatment? and did the pet improve slightly in health/happiness.. or did it seem miserable?

i am keen to use the tablets, i dont care too much about the money.. even tho its a huge chunk of my wages gone, the dog is family.

however.. my parents are not sure what to do. i think they believe its more fair on the dog if he is put to sleep as he will not get any better anyway..

what is really best? i need advice.. xx

I have grown up with poodles. About two years ago, we adopted a new male poodle after ours passed away from cancer. He is a sweet baby, but we are still having a problem with him peeing on everything. At first we thought, he was marking his territory, but he's the only animal in the house & has been since we got him. He has enough allergies & asthma (breathing problems) that the vet is afraid he will die if he is given anesthesia to be neutered, so I am looking for other ideas.

I am thinking of getting a shetland Sheepdog but am wondering what pros and cons they have. I live on 4 acres and have 2 horses so there is no shortage of space. Do they need to be exscercised every day and things like that.
