Dogs - January 2007

My wife left her dog in the car with the windows part way down and some lady asked her why she brought a mean dog to town. She tried to stick her hand in the window (with a toddler) and he growled at them. She said he whined when he saw the kid. He loves kids, but is very protective of the truck. How would you have reacted?

We have an 11th month old lab puppy and have been looking at getting a smaller dog recently. He surprised me with a Boston Terrier and I am such an animal lover, but I am not in love with this one.

I was bathing her and discovered that she is covered in fleas. She is 8 weeks old and I don't think this is very healthy. I am not sure what the breeder will do "refund" wise, but I am not wanting to keep this puppy.

Please do not lecture on responsibility as this is totally not the case. Any suggestions and/or ways people have dealth with similar issues would be greatly appreciated.

My 9 month old weimerianer puppy just got fixed last week and he now has this extra skin where his "manhood" used to be. I've always had female dogs so I am just wondering if this is normal.

hi i just pawned my car to get a pit out of the vets office it had belonged to a friend of mine this friend was going thru a really bad time his wife has major health problems , he had just lost his job then his pitbull caught parvo so he went to the vet with him the vet didnt ask him anything concerning treatment just went ahead and gave the dog a antiobiotic shot then told the guy he couldnt get his dog back till he paid for this visit and also told the guy that he wasnt going to do anything else for the dog until a 200.00 deposit was put down so the dog was in the vets office for a week with no other medical treatment not even an IV for fluids then the vet told my friend that he better come up with the money by the next day or he would sell the dog and sue him and if he couldnt sell it he would put it down and still sue him do you think this vet was fair or just a money hungry *ss-h*le

I would like a small breed dog to keep my 80lb dog company while I'm away. I don't want a breed with many genetic health problems or one that is fragile.

This morning my cockapoo was just fine and I just got home and I noticed that she was shaking a bit so I let her outside and she was normal again. Then when she got back inside I wanted to check if she was okay so I went into my room and encouraged her to go on my bed but she didn't. Usually when I get home my dog hears me come home and today she didn't run up to the door. I tried petting her belly but when I touched her hind leg she barked at me. When I rub her back though, she stops shaking. She's not shaking now and she looks tired because she is laying down. I don't want to take her to the doctor just yet, I want to observe her for about two days and if something else happens, then I'll do. But I want to know what you think is wrong with her. She's eight years old if that helps...

We just rescued a border collie/bl lab, 5 months old. He had kennel cough when we got him, he was treated for that before we took him. We had him 4 days, and the cough worsened. Took to vet, he gave another shot of antibiotics, and sent me home with more antibiotics and cough meds. 3 days later, still wasn't better, even worse. Took him to an animal hospital, They said he had pnemonia real bad. They gave Me a diff antibiotic and cough med. 24 hrs later, worse. Admitted Bailey to the hosp for 3 days. He had IV antibiotics and fluids. I brough him home yesterday, vet said it could take 2 weeks. Sent Me home with more meds, this time also Albuterol for his breathing. They said to keep him calm, and lots of fluids. Its not a problem keeping him calm, he has no energy. He ate his breakfast today, and drank about a cup of water. This was at 8am. He now wont eat or drink, and appears to be worse. Can anyone give Me any suggestions, Please, I can't lose this puppy. He is so sweet - please help

I have a six month old MinPin. I have been feeding him Science Diet Lamb Meal and Rice puppy food because that's what his breeder was feeding him when I bought him. However, I've read some comments that this food is not particularly good for dogs because it doesn't contain enough crude protein and pure meat. Any opinions on Science Diet? What food would you recommend?

It looks very painful but I don't know how to treat it. Is it just conjuctivitis, or is it something else? I can't get her to a vet until Monday. Thanks

She rarely does this. She was in all night and had not eaten recently but she was cleaning her fur a lot. Does cleaning her fur cause this? Otherwise she seems fine. I should have paid attention when she pushed her nose againt my neck to notify me to let her out.

My dobe just turned 1 year (female). When strangers come over or we are outside and someone walks by, she kinda wants nothing to do with it like she is scared or something. Does the protectiveness come with age or what? She is a sweet dog, but isn't there a time when she needs to be protective? Is there something that I need to do? We take her for walks and she meets a few people from time to time, but she never got testy with anyone yet. We have a min pin who is the opposite, when the doorbell rings, she goes bannanas!

She knows "sit", "paw" and some other simple commands, but when we say "come" she refuses. Usually it's when we are asking her to come back inside that she refuses. Instead she usually turns and looks at me, then runs back out into the yard.
