Dogs - July 2007

I've already done research on Cairn Terriers, but I want to hear from any personal experiances, because the websites just state general info about the dog, they dont never give any personal comments on what real owners have to say.

Thanks in andvance!

Does anyone have any helpful hints or places that operate 24/7 in the rescuing of stray dogs? I was driving earlier, taking my exit from the interstate and noticed a dog on the side the road. I circled around to try to get him, but there was a fence that he could not get through and he ran the other way. I circled and circled and stopped a couple times to try to get him to bring it some place safe. Whenever I got near him, he ran away. He looked like he was hurt and very scared of people. I watched him for a while and tried luring him with food, but nothing. I went home and tried to call an Animal Control place to see if they had better ways, and they are open 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. I thought, what good is that, how do you expect to help animals with those hours?? I called local vets and no place was open. Does anyone know what someone can do to help save these scared, lost dogs? It made me very sad.

MY four year old dog is as energetic as a puppy. Whenever we bring him inside the house he does not relax, and does not stay still. He runs throughout the house, goes through the trash and does not behave. We have tried taking him on long walks and buying chew toys but he never gets tired. We want him to come in the house and be part of our family more often . Any suggestions? Thanks

My friend thinks the only way to train a dog is to beat it to scare it into submission. I'm thinking there is some truth to that. She just isn't listening and keeps peeing in my house and ruining things. She is in the cage at night and then I let her out for an hour, Im at work for 9 hours then I come home and she is out for 3 hours and then back in the cage for the night.

She is peeing inside all the time.

I have already hit her really hard but it doesn't seem to do anything. How hard is too hard to hit a puppy?

I am not an animal beater I work a lot and don't have a lot of time to train her, I need a way to quickly train her where she will listen well. And I think there is a lot of truth to hitting and spanking a dog? It gets their attention and tells them what they are doing is wrong!

Please help?

I was just wondering, I was told to mix some puppy chow with the puppies formula when it was time for them to be weaned. But the puppy chow isnt getting soft, is there any way to make it soft faster? We have been waiting for about 15 mins now.

My brother is thinking of getting a weener dog for the house. I already have a Yorkie that is very sweet and laid back. She is not much of a fighter. I was wondering if a Weener dog would be a good dog to have liveing in the same house as a Yorkie. Thanks for the future advice!

g up(3 hrs post surgery). She is shaking and having trouble swallowing. Should we be alarmed, or is this normal? My daughter is very worried but I told her I think this is typical after coming out of anesthetic. What do you folks think? Should we call the vet? Thanks,

My Miniature fox terrier just had a litter of 4 pups and they seem to be health. My question was that is it necessary for me to bottle feed the pups or should I just let the mother do her thing. I checked to see if her nipples would excrete milk and they seem to work. If I would need to bottle feed the pups what kind of formula should I use?

So my dog, 7 year old female toy poodle, my dad...I always tell him dont feed her people food because she will get accustomed to it. and thats exactly what has happened. All she relies on to get through on the day is her doggie snacks and whatever people give her. she is not eating. does anyone have any idea of how I can get her to eat her food again?

well more like she found us. on july 4th we were watching fireworks in a field and she jumped in my car. we drove around asking for hours after, mostly everyone had left, asking if she was theirs. she smelled of beer and obviously had puppies, (she is only 9 months old). we brought her home and placed several ads in the local newspaper, called the sheriffs dept., put up signs by where we found her, called all the animal shelters and humane societies, called all the vets in the area to give them my info. and also called radio stations to announce that she was found. after two weeks of having her there has been nothing. we have fell in love with her and would love to keep her but what is the right thing to do? also note that she was found in poor condition. very skinny, dirty, scabs all over, and she needs to go to a vet. i don't have the money to spend on her if i'm not keeping her. what should i do at this stage of the game?

My dog has skin allergies/rash and the vet gave me some Omega 3 liquid caplets. I don't want to buy them from the vet again because it was really expensive. Where else can I get these for a cheap price?

Any ideas about making the dog leave the kittens alone. I don't care but it sure hurt my wife's feelings. I need to do something. I tied up the dog but its hot here and that is not a permenant solution. There are too many kittens and no place to take them. I live on a ranch. I thought about putting something on the kittens's fur that makes them undesirable for the dog. Vicks keeps the other dog from trying to mate with the bigger cats.
