Dogs - June 2007

I have seen this all over, and here at yahoo it seems a lot of people believe this. Don't get me wrong I belive and abused dog is more likely to become agressive. There are so many other reasons for a dog to become agressive like lack of training or socialization.
When we bought our first dog (GSD) we didn't know anything about socialization or training for that matter and we loved the dog gave him lots of attention and spoiled him at first he was friendly but then he became over protective and started barking at everyone that apporached us, he played nicely with other dogs until one scared him. Personally I believe that my dog was born with an unstable fearful tempremant and with our lack of knowledge on how to handle that we almost createded a monster but we called in professional help and learned how to control and deal with his behavior.

I just don't think that only abused dogs are agressive and I don't think that it is always because an owner is a bad owner

We have a boxer that is about 1 year old and until now has been housetrained pretty well. We left him at a boarder for about a week while we were out of town and he has pooped in the house twice since we've been back. He seems like he has slight diarreaha but then is constapated too?? We did change his food recently...could this be the result of him not having a normal routine?

I did talk to the Vet, the first thing she ask me was I giving him any asprin. That asprin would help him.I give him Glucosamine, Chondroitin Sulfate, plus MSM with vitiman C.

i am thinking of getting my dog micrichipped, but the concern i have is that it will be really painful and that he won't trust me again for a long time. It sounds silly but my dog is funny about that sorta thing and hes a big baby and i don't want to cause him unnecessary pain.

I was on here and anwered one about a sick dog and everone inclueed me said to put him down, I went back and seen where they had added this Grandmother instead of pet or dog. So That got me to thanking.
If we are able to stop the suffering of our loveing pets, Why can't we stop the suffering of people.
My Grandmother suffered for 1 and 6 months of cancer. I Had to take care of her! I was only 13, but mon had to work and noone else could. She cryed all the time, becouse she was in so much pain. She could not eat, At the end they even put her in a coma, "due to the pain" but the tears was still there. So why can we end the suffening of our pets, and not us. She just begged to have it all end, but we could not do anything. One time she asked me to give her all her pain pills, you know at the end I had to really fight myself, becouse I could have helped her, before she got So Bad.

So to that one who asked this, I am Sorry and I am with you 100 %

He is 9 weeks old, and has no problem in letting us know when he needs to go to the toilet. He quite happily goes outside on the grass and when he is left inside he uses the kitty litter box with no problems at all. He never has any accidents anywhere else in the house, but he continually has accidents on his own rug. I wash this rug in hot water to make sure there is no scent which may be attracting him to the rug, but nothing seems to work. We take him outside if we catch him doing it, but sometimes it is too late so there is no point disciplining him after the fact as he will have no idea what we're talking about!

Has anyone else had this happen or any advice on how we can combat the problem?

Thanks!

So I have this puppy that I have found near a trash bin, and I'm not sure what breed he is, and he have fleas!!! Though I already solved this problem, I have a new one; how do I make his hair grow back its already 1 1/2 months since I rescued him but he is still bald underneath and also his legs, and his head his fur is very thin and only a handful near his back, plus he got worms, I need a quick homemade solution because I can't take him to the vet, coz he is unregistered non of my neighbors don't even know he exists, and pitbulls are banned at my state and City(Denver, Colorado), so I fear that he might be a pitbull and get euthanized, Bottomline: I need a home made remedy to make his hair grow back and to treat the worms. I really like this dog and I wanna keep him

I have a 6 month old Koby pit bull that is learning not to piss on the carpets. But, ocassionally, he still does when no one is around to let him out. Do you know of any good home remedies that can remove the stains. I've tried soap and water, but i just want to know if there is any other way that'll get the job done. Or do you know of a specific product that'll do what I need it to do.

My dog has worms, which he got from another dog which died a few days ago. We already brought him to the vet. But when we gave him his medicine, he started to act drunk (-> woobly back legs, cant walk straight) and spittle A LOT (major deposit of saliva). The doctor didn't say anything about side effects of the medicine and would be too expensive to bring him back. But when it is the only choice... I'm asking if I can do something else...

Earlier today I noticed that my dog had a hard lump that was located just under her nipple that went down to her vulva. It wasnt their last night and I was wondering if anyone knew what it could be.

She had puppies about four days ago and my neighbor said that the puppies might not be nursing correctly and that it could just be excess milk.

Is it something that will clear up on its own or is it like something thats left over from when she had the puppies. Any info at all would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys, my husband and I have a 3yr female Labrador. We got her when she just turned 8 weeks and since that day I am with her almost 24/7.
Lately she reacts a little different and we were wondering if she is ok.
She wont eat alone anymore, I have to stand with her in the kitchen and then she starts eating. As soon as I leave she stops eating. When I giver her a treat she doesnt eat it until I say " Go eat it", then she runs on her pillow and waits until I enter the room.
Once I stay with her she eats her treat. At night time she always has to lay right on top of me (which is not the easiest cause she has 80lb) or so close to me that she almost pushes out of bed. She always has to have some kind of body contact to me whether its a paw or her head on my knee, her back right beside my back etc. She never used to do that before, so we are wondering whats wrong with her. And she does it only to me, not to my hubby. Any ideas?
