....round dogs nails so that they can't scratch themselves. Despite me clipping/trimming my 8 month old Chihuahua's nails they are so sharp that she cuts herself when she scratches an itch.
What's the best way to round them off so they are smooth?

I have a beagle who has had a litter of five. We gave two away today. The other four puppies (out of the five) have always been rambunctious and playful but this one has always been sleepy all the time and doesn't like to move about. They are all about 8-9 weeks old. I'm wondering if because they're still young that this is normal that this one puppy doesn't want to play. I've gone on Answers and looked up different things to see what others have to say about other people's questions about sleepy and unplayful puppies but it hasn't quelled my worries that something is wrong with this puppy. It seems to eat well and it DEFINITELY sleeps a lot but it seems to be the only one that sleeps all day. When it isn't sleeping it just lays there and blinks up at me. I try to encourage it to play but it just doesn't seem to want to.

Please Help!

I'm a college junior and am living at home to help my parents financially. The problem is that one of the reasons i wanted to leave the house is that it is filthy and filled with dog urine. All the carpets in the house are stained different shades of yellow, and its gross to walk on. I always wear socks. Even the fake wood floors we installed are warping. We have five dogs, all dachshunds, all male. Two are neutered and old, both who I don't think are the problem, although they do poo on the floor every so often. The problem is the other three. They aren't neutered, and my mom says its too late to do it as it wouldn't make a difference. The oldestis about 5 years old, and is the worst. Sometimes he refuses to go outside. One of the others is his son, 3 years, and the third isn't related, 1 or 2. My mom won't neuter them. Is there anything I could do? I'd like to replace the carpets without having the new ones peed on.

I witnessed my dog being hit by a car today. He's alive, thank God but with a broken. The ball of the hip is out of the socket. Repair costs could reach 4K. Since I'm broke a friend that has a dog (18 years old) that broke his hip about 13 years ago, says my dog's hip should heal itself. He was told this by an old vet . It worked for him. I wonder if there are other opinions and advice, however.

When adopting a new puppy, is it easier for an 8 week old puppy or a 3-4 month old puppy, to adjust to a new home? Why? How long does the adjustment period usually take? Thanks in advance!

After doing some research online, I learned that he should have been under crate rest to help him heal (my vet didn't tell me this). I've kept his activity to a minimum, however, I've allowed him to get on and off the beds. I'm afraid by allowing this extra movement I've given him a lesser chance of healing. Is it too late for crate rest?

My 1 year old Labrador puppy keeps pawing water out of her water bowl 8 out of 10 times it's filled. It is getting to be a concern now that the weather is getting hotter. My dogs are outside dogs and they need the water. I can't really keep filling the bowl 24/7. Please help?

And, anyone know WHY my puppy does that?? >_<

My dogs know they need to go outside to go to the bathroom, but sometimes their little bladders can't wait. Has anyone ever trained their chihuahua to use a litterbox?

We all know that a dog can not be physically altered to show in AKC. What does the AKC do when a dog is debarked? We have all seen say a Collie breeder with a bunch of Collies, and they are debarked! Have you ever seen a dog disqualified for this in any AKC competition?

My neighbors two dogs are driving me crazy with their constant barking. Won't they get a sore throat if they contiue to bark? The neighbor is out of town and locked his dogs in the house. I normally don't here the dogs bark at all and never like this, they must miss him or something. Since he is gone for the day I was hoping the usually quiet dogs would get a hoarse and just go to sleep until their daddy gets home. Any chance?

My dog is constantly shaking his head and scratching at his ears. I have looked inside and I do not see anything. The last time he did this though he did have mites. What do they look like and can you actually see them without a magnifying glass? Also does anyone know any home remedies or must I take him to the vet?

I have a plan. What do you think if there would be a law enacted that would require a 3 day waiting period before purchasing a pet? I know the local pound will not allow same day adoptions. So, what if we required breeders and pet stores to do the same? Do you think that would cut down on the amount of animals that are abandoned at the pound because of "buyer’s remorse"? Do you think that it would decrease the amount of pet store puppies because people would like twice about buying one if they had to spend three days to think it over? If the AKC required proof that the new owners waited for this waiting period, or the dog couldn't be registered, maybe that could help? Maybe that would be the way to control the amount of people out there who own these poor dogs that can't care for them?

I think if we need to have a 3 day waiting period on buying a gun because of the harm it can cause, than we should have the same on buying a dog or a cat for the same reasons! What do you think?
