Dogs - June 2007

I got a 5 1/2 months old female shih tzu, she had an umbilical hernia and 9 days ago she had it removed, yesterday when I checked her she has a bump where her hernia was, it almost looks like a hernia again and I also found another bump in her inguinal, so I want to know if the hernia could come back as a complication from the surgery and why this other bump appeared, I know wasnt there before cuz I used to play with her all the time before the surgery and never felt it, so Im really concern on what this could be some friend told me her dog had a tumor there, but I just dont know why appeared right after the surgery, Im suppose to take her to the vet next week to get the stitches removed but I want to know what I should be aware of to ask the vet, I will appreciate any advice, thanks.

Well i am planning on getting a dog and im vegatarian and very uncomfertable with handling meat even in dog food so i was wondering if it was healthy for a dog to be vegatarian.

I'm planning on starting a pet sitting business during the summer along with this other girl and I'm wondering would you trust or dog or cat with two 13 year olds for a few days (like just to feed play clean their poop and walk them) once a day. And if so how much would you pay them?

p.s. I have a 4 pet cats and my friend has 2 cats and a dog

Recently Ive was told that dog food isnt as good as preparing ur dogs food ursef. Infact it can add 10 years to youre dogs life. I have never given my pup raw meat until recently because he is a picky eater at the best of times. But he loves raw mince so I thought why not . Now he has had other raw meats ( not chickhen ofcourse) and eats them with joy ,. What are ur thoughts on feeding youre dogs...

We're getting a Min Pin soon. We just wanted to know a few more things. How do they act around children and strangers? Do they really need to be walked every day? Also how do they act around other dogs? If anyone has a Min Pin can you please tell me about them.

Bear likes to sniff alot and sometimes after sniffing he will freeze up and make a weird face and wrinkle up his nose. It's kinda like when you get water up your nose? He breathes funny too. What is it?

my little JRT besides Princess(who is fixed) will 1 year old this August.
My dad says I should wait until she is 18 months old before I breed her with another JRT(with papers of course).
Why do people wait until the female is 18 months before breeding the dog? I only want to breed every other year anyway. I'm not gonna "puppy mill" Precious because it would too much strain, stress etc on her. Besides I think she would like a year or two off between breeding.

Does anyone know anything about I'm talking about here? Would breeding her every time she's in heat wreck her health or wear her out faster? What do Vets says about breeding this way?

My sibling leaves her dog outside in hot weather (85+) and she has only two trees in her backyard. The dog has a black coat like my border collie. Ive told her more than once black coat-dogs need special attention during the summer. She thinks I am over-reacting and as long as the dog has plenty of water he is fine. Who is right?

I have a 4 year old English Bulldog and for some reason she has always had a really strong unpleasant odor. It seems to have gotten worse as she's gotten older. I bath her regularly with an oatmeal and a flea fighting shampoo, but that never helps. And for some reason, the smell gets even worse when she comes in from being outdoors or when she has sat in the sun for a while. I heard that diet might cause this odor problem but she eats a proper diet. Any tips would be very helpful. Thanks

I have a friend that had a maltese/bichon mix that was chained outside and bit a small girl when she ran through their yard. It wasn't because he was mean, it was because he was excited. The girl's family made them put the dog down. I just lost my dog and I know it's impossible. Do you think that's unfair?

I have been seeing more and more homeless people with animals. I stopped to give a lady and her dog food and she said that her and her SMALL (maybe 7pounds) dog have been homeless for about 3yrs. SAD. What do you think about it?

How much cottage cheese can I feed my 17 week old husky puppy? He has just recovered from parvo and my vet said I could feed him cottage cheese, but he seems to be very fond of the stuff and just wolfs it down, so I want to know what quantity to feed him and I can give it to him everyday? thanks for all the help.

So sometime during Thursday night, my dog threw up all over the place. Ever since then, she's been really lethargic and won't get up easily. When I call her, it's like she wants to get up, so she'll walk a couple slow steps, then she'll sit back down like she's in pain. She won't eat. Even bigger problem is that I'm a teenager, and my parents aren't home. When they get home later, I'm going to force them to take her to the vet, but until then, does anyone know what this could be?
