Dogs - January 2007

This morning, i saw strings of curled white worm in my puppy's poo. What should I know and do ?

I got the stray puppies from the shelter. Additional information is that the puppies were infested with ticks which were treated earlier. Another puppy had maggots grown on the wound made by the ticks. But it has been treated by the vet a day ago.

I seem to own a so-called "deer chihuahua", and her face looks more like a minipin's. Would it be possible that, long time ago, "deer chihuahuas" could have originated from a mix between a minipin and a chihuahua, and people simply categorize them only within the chihuahua beed as a pure breed instead of a hybrid?

Today, I found a puppy abandoned in a cardboard box and I need advice on what would be the best way to care for her. She is 2 weeks old and very sweet. She is healthy and she is eating some of the formula that I offer her.

I need any advice from people who have delt with this problem before and that any one can give me to help. Before anyone says anything, I will not give her to any shelter around here as she will be put to sleep and I want to give her a good quality of life and I plan on keeping her.

Any advice would be greatly apreciated and thank you ahead of time.

My daughters king charles spaniel dog is 2 years old and everytime she brings him into my house he pee's. He even jumped on my bed and pee'd. He has plenty of walks. It only seems to be in my house not anyone else's. I dont have a dog but i watched my mums (*****) dog about a year ago in my house. Surely her scent must be out my house by now? Is this dog just being bad?

my friend's 3 month old puppy has a lump behind his left leg. It's rather large (since he's such a small dog) and is squishy as if it is filled with a liquid. I asked her if she ever took the dog to the vet for it, and she said no. Now, that puppy came from a liter of puppies we bred, and i know he got that lump when he was around 6-7 weeks old. When we gave her the dog, we told her to get that checked out IMEDIATELY, and she didn't. I'm worried about the puppy. He seems very healthy. He eats, and plays as much as one of his brothers (my friend took two pups) but i'm still worried. I told her to take him to the vet and she said she would this week. Anyone have anything similar happen to their puppies? any idea of what that lump could be?

I've only had dogs for 6 months. I heard a lot of negative things about Greenies so I've never purchased them until tonight.

My dog has had a very nasty habit of using the cat box as her dessert tray and I wanted something - anything to help with her breath.

I purchased the Teeny form of Greenies for my girls (15lbs and 5lbs) and they devoured them - it was like they died and went to heaven they enjoyed those little green toothbrushes so much!

So, experienced dog owners - what's the deal with Greenies/ What's with the bad press? Are they ok? If not, why are they still on the market? Pros/Cons please?

I have a 8-9 week old yorkshire terrier puppy who hates being alone. It has plenty of room to move around. All he does is yelp and whimper for ever and we have very pricky neighbors who complain about my pup. There is a period of 4 to 6 hours where it will be alone 3 days of the week. ]Is this bad? Just to get it to go to sleep in the area i have to be with it for 45 minutes to an Hour then as slick as i can be put him in his area. [a caged area where he has plenty of room to play around with food and water and an area for him to relieve himself.] PLEASE HELP ME! I am very desperate and nervous because tomorrow is going to be his first day alone.


YIKES!

I just took my maltipoo to have her groomed and am not at all happy with the results/service. When I dropped her off the woman was slightly rude and seemed to have an "if you had taken better care of your dog this wouldn't have happened" attitude. I admit she had tangles and mats but it seems like no matter how much I brush her if she goes that long w/o a grooming she gets them. But the woman just patted her on the head didn't even check to see and said she needed to be shaved. She didn't even try to get the tangles out. I by no means want to put my dog in any pain or hurt her in any way so if this was the only option fine but at least really look at her and then make up your mind. So I come back to get her 4 hours later and my dog is shaved down to the skin! Then the woman didn't even speak to me she spoke directly to my sister . So is this just a bad groomer or is this how all groomers would have treated the situation?

My dog is a 9 1/2 year old yorkie-poo who has been acting very odd since about 2 weeks ago. she will approach her food, walk away from it, and seems as though she is afraid of it. Same with her bones and toys. We took her to the vet and while she was in the cage at the she was acting like she used to be, perfectly normal. anytime she is in my house she acts very strange. We brought her for numerous tests at the vet, her blood work is perfectly fine and everything else is fine. the vet said she has behavioral problems. what could this be?

One afternoon at my folk's house we found two dogs in our backyard and was able to catch one but the second was scared off by our dog. The one that ran off had id tags on it and we haven't seen it since but the one we caught is a very cute dog which appears to be a terrier breed. My question is how can we find the rightful owners of this beautiful animal? We do not want to send her off to a animal shelter where she might not be claimed.
