I just recently got a 5 month old yellow lab mix and I moved to Florida with him and my other dog. For the first few days he was normal and playful. But the night before last I had taken them on a 2 mile walk. When we arrived back home they were fine just very tierd. The next day the puppy threw up a yellow mucus. I called the vet to get him an appointment, because I was worried he had parvo. They were of no help and can't see him till next week. So I've been keeping him hydrated, and I feed him canned food every few hours. He has the desire to eat and drink but he can't seem to hold down the food. Today he seems to be doing better, but is still having trouble holding down food. He slept all day yesterday, but today he has more energy and wants to play with our older dog. My question is, how can I help him get better? I have antibiotics for dogs, that I've been giving him, and I've given him plenty of fluids. It doesn't seem like parvo, but I'm still worried! Could it be a flu?

He will run off with other dogs for a bit, but comes back. I own over 50 acres and just don't see the reason to tie him up.

Okay so we recently moved into a new neighborhood and at the old house my dogs always dug out and roamed the streets. No one seemed to care but this is a much nicer neighborhood and I am getting several complaints!! I tried to tie them but they keep getting loose. Anyone have any ideas on how I can keep my dogs in the yard and stop them from digging? I am about to call the dog pound even though it really hurts me.

Lately at the dog park owners of mature dogs playing with my puppy state "Oh, he can smell that he's a puppy, so he's playing nice with him". Is this true? Do puppies emit a smell unique to young dogs?

My beagle who is only 5 years old, slipped his disk last week and the outlook doesn't look good. Does anybody know how long if ever it will take to heal, or had any personal experience with this? He is at the vet's now being taken care of but I am just seeing if anyone has any personal experience, as I am really worried about my dog. ♥ Thanks for all the info.

They are 9 & 10 months old & we originally had only 2. My brother needed me to take care of his dog b/c he is working out of town. His dog is the brother to my Boston terrier. All they dogs get along very well, but I cannot take this marking their territory stuff. The whole back yard smells of urine & I want to be able to go out on the deck without worrying about sitting in pee. My German shep & Boston terrier didn't do this before the other one came along. I am afraid that my brother's dog is teaching mine bad habbits. Also, my brother's dog is a dramatic little thing. He is a baby & will limp when he know's you are looking. If he doesn't know your watching, he will run & play, but if he see's you, he limps & cries like he's hurt, & everyone knows he just wants attention. It's actually amusing to watch him do that-he is quite the little actor.

My golden retriever puppy is in the process of being kennel trained. When we let her out at night she plays and plays and plays but then when its time for bed she only sleeps for a short while. Is there anything that we can do to help make her sleep through the night! Waking up at 3 every morning sucks!

In the past two days, my dog has changed drastically. He is usually a fun loving dog. He has become quite nervous. When we approach him, he gets very nervous, its almost as if he thinks we will hurt him. At times, he has also become aggressive. He is eating and drinking as usual, but does not ask to go out as often. He is more alert than usual, won't sleep, almost as if he is standing guard for something. What do you think could be bothering him. Should I take him to the vet of just wait it out for a while?

Cats chase mice and dogs chase cats. Cats eat mice but why do dogs chase cats? Is it because they see them as food or do cats simply irritate dogs?

My momma dog was low on calcium due to poor food quality from her breeder while she was preganant. When I got her three weeks ago, she was already far into her pregnancy. Yesterday she gave birth and that's how we found out she was low on calcium and I need help finding foods to help her build up calcium for her growing brood. Thank you.

I'm scared to give anything anymore to my dogs after the whole "greenies" thing and watching the emergency vet show on Animal Planet and seeing how easily things like bone fragments either get lodged in their throats or impacted in their insides! These bones came sealed and the dogs are crazy about them! I hate to deprive them of such a treat! The packaging says to supervize them which I do. They just rip off tiny bits of ham still stuck to the bone but when they start trying to actually gnaw off segments of the bone, should I throw it away? We used to give our dogs butcher bones growing up and we never had any problems so am I just being paranoid? Oh, they are Shetland Sheepdogs so they don't tend to gulp things down like breeds like Labs do (I had a Lab and a Golden and they ate cell phones, remote controls, Christmas Ornaments, basically anything!).

My husband and I are senior citizens and are not able to keep picking up trash every day. We keep taking toys over and the neighbor laughs. The trash amounts to paper, limbs, etc. ; anything the dog can put in her mouth. I don't know what to do.

Hi,
I had always said that when she reached 6 months, my puppy would be spayed but her first season came at that time so I knew we needed to wait the few months after that.. she is nearly nine months old but I just find her so small and think the operation could have so many complications compared to that of a larger dog..

I know if I put her through it and there were complications I would never forgive myself... but, at the same time... I really worry about the risks of pyometra..

so I was wondering what everyone's experiences are with pyometra and also spaying of small dogs and whether or not you think it is necessary?

Also,since her season, her milk glands have been a bit more swollen... is this normal?

Please only post positive or helpful advice... No insults or abuse :)

Thank you in advance :)
