Dogs - March 2007

so i brought my 3 months old american bull dog puppy to the vet the other day to check out his eye
on the side of his cornea there is a white dot with a hair growing out of it. the vet told me that it might be a birth defect where the eye lid did not seperate from the eye when in the womb.
i just got him 3 weeks ago i called my breeder and he said its impossible because all the puppies where fully checked out.
the breeder is ligit i did my research carefully before buying.
my breeder also stated that one of his females had the same problem and it went away. PLEASE if someone has heard of anything like this let me know.
if he does have this birth defect.. its gonna cost 8000-9000 dollars and it must be done by a human eye specialist!!!

My pomeranian is 1 year old. She always seems like an energentic and happy puppy but today I was sick and stayed home from school. This morning I knew something was wrong because she would not get out of bed. Then I ate breakfast and she didn't want any of my food (Unusual for her) This aftertoon she threw up 3 or 4 times but it was not vomit with food in it because she has not ate today. It was like foamy spit. Then she starting throwing up spit that was browish red. All together she has threw up about 6 times and I'm really scared. I called the vet all he said was as long as it was spit and not actual food it was fine but it still worries me. What should I do and has anyone else had this happen to their pet?

We have a 9 month old staff cross english bull terrier dog who regularly wees on his bedding. His bedding is a large puffy cushion that needs to be washed every day. The dog has access to his bed all day. We also have 2 working bitches that sleep outdoors but occasionally come inside with the dog. Could this be the reason he's weeing and how can this be stopped. We would appreciate any advice on this matter.
Thank you

I have a 14 year old dog that only has back leg problems but recently their has been big bathroom problems and her urine smells so bad and she cannot hold her stool. I'm always cleaning up after her mess, I had to put her companion down a year ago due to metal problems of aging. She has high spriits and still is alert.

We have three dogs, Yorkie, Yorki-Poo and Chihuahua. Ranging in age from 6 years to 1 year. We keep them in a large penned in area in our family room, where they have access to a doggy door, food, water, toys and can see the family and what is going on in the house. They are out of this area most of the day but are in there for bedtime, family mealtimes, etc... They pee all over the house! Two have been "fixed". Any ideas??

I do know that a HUMAN pregnancy test is testing for levels of HUMAN chorionic growth hormone but it's only called that because we gave the hormone its name. The dog pregnancy hormone maybe exactly the same as the human one?

The reason I'm asking Yahoo-help-ers is that Maisie (the dog) has had a phantom pregnancy before, and she is exhibiting the same symptoms as before - secretions from some of her nipples, ferocious appetite, ferocious, generally what I can only describe as PMT ish, digging holes and burying food.

She was in season at Christmastime and went missing one evening for a couple of hours............
But if the dirty deed was done then she would be having pups by now as I thought gestation was about 2 months. The problem I have this time is that I am now unemployed just starting my own business - I love her to bits but any sort of lab test at the moment would cripple me. So my idea was to try Boots et al pregnancy test. Please no Smart Arses. Thank you .

I just got a new puppy and am looking for a training collar like the ones I used years ago. It is choker style but buckles on like a regular collar. If anyone knows where I can get one I would appreciate the information.

I want a medium size dog, that doesnt require much grooming and loves kids. (I love the looks of German Shepherd so anything similar to that, I've seen German Shepherd-beagle mixes and those are adorable!)

I have two dogs, a 17 month old Husky x Eurasier who, is as near perfect and smart of a dog as I would want. The other, is a 9 month old mini-shih-tzu, he was VERY sick when he was VERY young (rescued from a puppy mill, he nearly died) I've had him since about 5 weeks. Due to his trama and early illness he's "slow", we don't know in what way exactly, but multiple vets have all agreed he would be in the "special class". So he's HARD to train, he's not dominant. He has two modes, asleep and overly excited, like he has ADHD and just ate a pound of candy. He bites onto the big one's legs to stop him when they play chase. I've consulted vets, professional trainers, a behaviourist and a reg shih-tzu breeder. I correct him every time I see it (the big dog will just jump up on the couch to get away, won't correct it). My big dog has sores from this, and nothing I've done has worked. No one has had advice for me but to keep at it, its been at least 5 months now. Does anyone have ANY advice?

I have a nine month old JR and she is a tenacious fireball. Lots of persistence and energy, she's nuts. Wouldn't they be big trouble if they were a large breed?

We walk her everyday and play with her at home. We actually keep her busy. She is in her crate when we leave, but no more than 2-3 hours. She constantly whines when she knows we are getting ready to leave. What can I do to stop this, does anyone else going through this?

I've seen hours hours of his shows, yet the things he advises NEVER do anything when I try them with my dogs. I try the 'stand up straight' thing, the 'ssshhh' thing, the leash jerk, it never works like it does on tv. WHY?

Are his shows edited to make it appear that he's more talented than he really is? Does he ever actually fail with dogs, we just dont see those times because it would hurt his rep?
