Dogs - June 2007

I know i just posted this but I really need answers.
My family has a mixed breed dog, her name is Sugar. We all love her so much. She is lost and we are checking the pound in the morning. I am pretty positive that is where she is. Our neigbors dont like us. So I think they took her there. I told my daughter we could get a new dog if we couldnt find her. She has already started looking for a new dog. I know she loves this dog because she cried and cried when we couldnt find her. Know she is feeling guity because she has already started to look for a new dog. What can I do to cheer her up? Dont put ignorant answers.We just got her and we dont have pictures of her so we cant do flyers. How should I comfort her if Sugar isnt there

She's part golden retriever and part...something else...I don't know what other breed because I got her from a shelter. She's very hyper. She bites my ankles and I know she's trying to play but it hurts and I just push her off and sternly say no or I ignore her but she doesn't stop. Also when I'm sitting in a chair she jumps up and wants to shake hands and if I don't do it nonstop she claws me all over. I was taking a nap and she jumped up on my leather sofa ripping a whole in it and clawed my face. She doesn't mean to hurt me, but it does. Another thing is I have cats and she is eating the cat litter! What the hell should I do? I'm so overwhelmed. I know people who smack their dogs with their hand or newspapers but I cant do that. I cant smack an animal. But Im going crazy! Please help!

My neighbor is constantly complaining of my dog and when he barks. I live in a city that has a "no barking law" and when a dog barks the owner has 7 minutes to get the dog in doors. I am going nuts with these neighbors constantly complaining about my dog who cant even bark for a few seconds or I get a phone call or a call from the city. So the latest situation is when she came over to complain AGAIN and was greeted by my daughter and my dog .Well she is now complaining that my dog scratched her when she came by. I was not home but at work and my daughter who is 20 yrs old said the dog didnt even come near her but did bark at her. So the city calls us and says we have to keep him in doors now for 10 days for a possible scratch ...not a bite...but a scratch. Infact the city was so nice when they called about the situation they said that they have several complaints against these people for harassing other neighbors. I really do not know what to do. Just move???

we just barely planted our garden last week and my dog won't stop bothering it. i've done about everything to try to keep her out. she's a golden retriever so she loves the water and when we water it, she gets in there. i've never seen her get in there but i know she has because when i see her, she's wet. I've tried showing her the boundries when she comes around by putting my arms out and walking at the edge of the garden. i guess when i put my arms out, she thinks i want her to jump on me. she either does that or runs around me and rolls around in it. i've said no to her about a billion times but she never listens to me. i could put a fence up, but by the time we were done she would already have it ripped to shreds. i need help fast. im afraid nothing will grow while shes around. one more thing, i dont believe that smacking a dog will make them learn anything, it will just make them hate you. please i really need help.

My dog has 3 week old puppies. The vet said they don't need to come back to the vet until they are 6 weeks old for shots, but he didn't say anything about their de-worming. Do you recommend the vet doing that or just buying the medication and doing it myself? If so, when do I need to start that?

My dog was spayed on Friday. She doesn't act like it hurts her much but she is acting really weird. She won't eat or drink unless we bring it to her. When she has to walk she jumps around all over the place like she don't want to use her back legs. Then she stops as soon as she can to try and scratch. She hasn't been whinning. Just acting a little strange. Is this a normal reaction?

When I was very young I was nipped by a dog on my ankle and it has left me scared of dogs. How can I get over my fear? My family makes fun of me because I am terrified of dogs and used to lock myself in my room and they would bring their nearly 200lb. dog to my parents house. How can I make them stop mocking me?

The right side of my puppy's nose is swollen. He was playing with another dog right before it happened but nobody really seen what actually caused the swelling. The two pups were outside when it happened so it's hard for me to determine whether it was an injury or an insect sting. The area is very tender, as he will cry out when I try to take a look at his teeth. He visits the vet religiously, but it's Sunday, should I call after hours or wait until the morning? What, if anything, can I do for him tonight? Thanks in advance :)

we adopted a rescue maltese about 6 months ago. he's wonderful. he did develope some seperation anxiety wit me but we did overcome this as good as we can. by chance we got outselves a rescued silky lady. this seemed to help alot; draw some of the attention or fixation from me. they sleep, eat cuddle, do everything together.
now the only thing is he whines like crazy in the morning.
they are "fenced" up in the kitchen during the night where they have a basket to sleep in as they otherwise "soil" the whole house. i think time in the house should be supervised. in the kitchen they can't hurt themselves.
now i do everything with the dogs. i take for a walk in the morning, a walk when i get home & they come to the stables with me for a run. my husband takes them for 1 walk before he goes to uni. also he plays in a very human way with them as i threat them as dogs. my maltese will whine in the mornings for me until i come out. now how do i get my dog to stop whining in the morning?

I just took in a 4 month old puppy who hasn't had any shots yet, is not on flea/tick medication, or heartworm protection. I have two other dogs who are current on everything. Is it safe for the dogs to be together until I can get shots for the puppy ASAP? Is there a chance that the puppy can catch something the other two bring in? Is there any risk to my two dogs?

I was wondering if there was anything I could use to clean my dog's ears other than the stuff you get from the pet store?

I heard you can use 1:1 vinegar & water, but the last time I did that, he ended up getting an ear infection and just smelled like a pickle. (This was suggested by the vet.)

If anybody could give me an answer it would be greatly appreciated. :D thanks!!
