Dogs - January 2007

she is getting more nervous, shaking, hiding under the bed, in the closet, sluken. I am wondering if I could feed her a more balanced diet (she is a picky eater) and if that would help. Is it hormones. She has gone into heat 3 times and isn't due again until May

I have a Weimaraner and she is so sweet, i was just wondering if they ever calm down LOL. I take her to Obedience classes where they have many weimaraners and all of theirs seem calm. Hope (my Weimaraner) is always doing something (good or bad). I was just wondering what i should expect in the years too come. She is a blast to be around, and she is always putting a smile on my face. I am having one problem with her though, she has just realized that she can put her feet on the counter/table, so she is now starting to pull stuff off. any ideas to stop her from doing this? I can never seem to catch her in the act.

I have a 14-year-old maltese and for the past few months he has had trouble holding his bladder. I have been keeping him gated in the laundry room/and or kitchen to keep him from urinating on the carpet. I have a toddler so it's really important to keep a clean floor. We just moved to a new house and the area available for him is much smaller, we also no longer have a big fenced in yard for him. I also have a 5-year-old bichon frise and if she's not locked up with him he whines and howls. What would be worse, to keep him locked in a small room most of the time, or to have him put down when he's otherwise a healthy dog. I've had him for half my life so it's a really hard decision---what would you do?

My mom's (and my dog from childhood) was 15 years old, and couldn't walk, was in constant pain, and couldn't control herself (bodily functions) so we finally decided to go ahead and euthanize her. it broke both of our hearts, even though we knew it was the best thing for her, but it's still very hard. Her name is Daisy, and she was a purebred shih tzu, the silver color (very rare), and the sweetest baby you would ever meet. She was my mom's best friend and long time companion, and now, my mom is lost without her. Does anyone have any ideas of anything i can do for her (no more pets, by the way, she's already decided no more, not even a fish) to help her get by for these next few months? Also, Does anyone know where to get a good print of the Rainbow Bridge poem? I'd like to get one that's framed....

please say a prayer for my mom, and for Daisy. She's not suffering anymore.

thanks so much.

I know he sleeps but what does your dog do during the day? I feel like getting a webcam but I don't know if it will capture the entire room.

Okay, we have a one year old jack russell terrier, and she's a handful but we love her to pieces. I opt to get another Jack ....we like dogs, and I hope to give Ginger a little something more to do. I mean we walk her and play with her, but it never seems to wear her out. I know it's part of the breed, but I was hoping with a playmate that she would be happier and have more to do when we are out of the house , etc....my husband counters that it's one more thing to pick up after and that we will have 2 crazy hyper dogs instead of just one and it's a horrible idea......what do the Jack owners out there think? Please keep in mind that I'm not wanting another dog just so I don't have to pay attention to the one we have, I just think it would help her high energy levels.

My puppy has been treated with 250 mg metronidazole and 250 mg of albon for coxidia. He has just added the metro. The coxidia was not present in his stool sample today. He is 6 mo old and weighs 33 lbs. Is there any other treatment that u can suggest? We are at our wits end. He still has a lot of blood in his stool.

My Fiance' & I are considering getting a puppy in the summer. I am a teacher, so I will be able to be home with him/her to train them. We cannot decide what kind of dog would be best for us. We want a medium sized dog that does not shed alot. We have a nice sized town-house with a large fenced in yard. ???

he's disruptive and using very inappropriate content. i mean, there could be kids on here! I'm not exactly upset that he's making fun of me, I'm not that childish, but he shouldn't be allowed to write such things on here.

How often should I put my 10 month old lab out to go to the bathroom. Whenever I go outside to have a smoke he is always right behind me to go outside. Most of the time he doesn't go to the bathroom he just sits here. I don't not let him out cuz i never know when he has to go. But than again I dont want him to think whenever someone goes outside HE can go out. Even going out to get the mail or to put the trash out he is right there waiting to go out.

This is not right, I have on several occasions caught my male dog (he's big) thrusing above my very little male cat (both are fixed) and my small female dog trying to hump one of my other male cats. Why would they cross species like that??? Gay I can understand but this, this is weird.

Our dog is terrified by the smell of cooking lamb. She is fine with other cooking odors like beef, chicken, fish, etc. but if she smells lamb cooking, she tucks in her tail, slinks under the furniture and sits there shaking. The last time she got so scared at first whiff that she immediately peed and pooped on the floor. I know that this sounds crazy and if I had not seen it I would not believe it. Has anyone else ever heard of this type of behaviour triggered by a particular odor?

Everybody want's a pet, but few are willing to care for them with the proper treatment needed for a healthy pet. I know dozens of people who have pets and have never been to the vet for the appropiate vaccinations and preventative treatments. If you truly love your pet, SPEND the TIME and MONEY to take care of them properly. Respect their needs or do without.

She was, as expected, very groggy and mopey for about 5 hours after she got home. After that she began acting strange (I guess as the drugs wore off). She won't eat or drink and she runs to hide under my bed. She isn't growling at anyone or showing aggression, it's almost like she feels like she's being punished. We've been telling her 'NO' when she licks her stitches, which she doesn't do often. And she has gone out to go to the bathroom twice even though she hasn't had any food or water. I'm guessing she's just in a bit of pain and it will eventually wear off, but what can I do for her for now to help her out. Also, is it ok to let her stay under the bed? Thanks!
