He is at the vets office in isolation and they are running tests to find out for sure if he has distemper. Please pray for him - the vet is fairly positive it is distemper, but I'm hoping that it is not distemper.

I posted a question once before about finding a dog trainer. I live in Dallas, TX and my dog is kid and dog aggressive. I called Bark Busters, but they are just too expensive for me. I am only 16, I only get paid twice a week and I have to pay for it all on my own. The trainer has to accept payment plans and has to be somewhat affordable. I can not pay $500 to train my dog. I am not going to Petco or Petsmart, they do obedience, that is not what I need. I need to resolve his aggression. If you have a trainer that is really good. Please call and ask if they are in Dallas as well, and if not, ask if they can refer someone who is etc. Thank you in advance.

My sister has golden retriever who has a enlarged ear. It appears as though it is filled with puss or fluid but there is no way of knowing for sure. Its like a pastry--seriously thats what it reminds me of. Like its filled with something. Doesn't seem to bother her but it appears to be getting larger. She swims constantly and I was wondering if anyone knew what this is and how to cure it? Thanks!

while I was parking my vehicle. The wound doesn't look that deep but I have got myself vaccinated by injection to prevent rabies.
The strange thing is that I have got bitten by the same dog, which I have been nurturing for past 5 days. The reason for taking care of this dog is that it has given birth to 5 young ones. I had been giving food , provided shelter in my shop when it was raining. Considering this, the behavior of the dog looks abnormal or maybe it may be affected by the rabies.
Now my problem is that if I report the dog for testing in the Goverment laboratory for rabies detection, the young ones will die without her mother? If i don't report, I am letting other people risk with being bitten by the dog? WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I watched Country File a few years ago, on it, a farmer called out his agricultural vet to perform a cesarean section on one of his ewes, the vet charged him £45 which included the cost of the operation, medication and the vet, visiting the farmer rather than the other way round. One of our bitches needed a cesarean, we took her to the vet, who charged us £280 for the op. The dog in question was a Jack Russell, Friends have told me the bigger the dog, the larger the fee, someone who I met at a dog show said it cost £800 for her Dane to have a c/section. what I want to know is, what is the difference between a dog and a ewe? do vets really up the price due to you being emotionally attached to your dog? and how can they justify the massive cost for a dog compared to the minimal fee for a farm animal?

My 1 yr old chihuahua/rat-terrior mix is due for his distemper booster. I was wondering how important this shot is for him. I know he has already had a rabies shot, is this the same thing?

I have a 2 year old chihuahua mix and I am not sure if she is pregnant. I really would rather not going to a Vet for blood tests/ultrasounds/x-rays because they are a bit pricy. I believe she went into heat about a month ago so if she is she'll probably be about a month along. I did notice that her stomach is starting to get a little bigger and feels tighter than usual. Also, she isn't eating her normal food like usual but is always in search of other food even though her normal food is available to her. I heard you can feel lumps in the stomach but I'm a little scared to push on her stomach. What other signs should I look for?

We have a year old springer and she is a nightmare on her lead. We've done classes and she started walking well, but now she just won't. We have invested in a choke chain, which helps a little. Once she is tired out from her walk she's fine, but I'd like to be able to let others walk her, without her pulling their arms off!

I have a 4 year old male greyhound and a 2 1/2 year old female chihuahua-boston terrier mix (i know, kind of an odd situation). They seem to like each other a lot. The problem is, they will not stop playing together! Any time they are out of their crates, they are constantly playing. They are friendly with each other as they play, but they play pretty roughly and end up running around the house a lot. I've had the greyhound for over a year, and just got the chihuahua-boston mix about 1 month ago. The playing started about 3 weeks ago and has not stopped yet. The only thing I can do about it right now is put them in their crates which is only a short term solution. Any ideas?

Also, I have a cat that my chihuahua-boston mix chases at all times, but my grehound just ignores (and vice-versa).

I just caught my dog eating her own feces and I pretty sure she can get sick from that. She's a puppy, but my other dogs didn't do that.
