Dogs - July 2007

Her father is american pit and her mother is red nose pit. I got her when she was only 1 week old now she is 4 weeks old and she growls and bites me and my husband just about everytime we try to touch her. She is to small to pop on her rear end. I've tried everything from holding her until she calms down to...rewarding her only when she is well behaved. She is not mean 100% of the time but i have to get her completely tame. Do you have any advice for me?

I have a 15 week old purebred female Australian terrier puppy who has an overbite, meaning that her lower jaw is shorter than her upper jaw and because of that overbite, she needs to have her teeth brushed. I'm well aware that dogs chew in order to remove plaque and tartar from their teeth, but my puppy's overbite prevents that from happening to her front teeth in her upper and lower jaws, which is why I have to manually brush her teeth.
I've never had to brush a dog's teeth before I got my puppy, but now that I have her, I don't know how many times a day I should brush her teeth. I've been brushing her teeth once a day, but should I be brushing them twice a day or even after she eats?

I read in another question where someone asked how many peach/cherry/plum pits they would have to eat before it killed them and the answer to the question explained that all of said pits contain a natural form of cyanide called amygdalin and that it has killed cattle and hogs who have eaten fallen peaches... A few minutes ago, I fed my 1 year old Golden Retriever the middle of a ripe plum, covered with meat, but still with the pit inside. Stupidly, I had forgotten that plums even had pits and before I could do anything, she swallowed it, without even chewing on the pit. I feel terrible and I'm worried that with a poisonous pit this could kill her. Will the pit just pass the next time she poops or is she going to get sick?

I've begged and they've thought about it but they still say no. I had a dog but he passed away a long time ago and i feel so lonely without one.

Our 13 year old Yorkshire Terrier has been losing his hair in spots all over his body. Lately he's been chewing at his skin till it's raw but he doesn't have fleas! His vision and hearing are both going bad due to old age, so could his hair loss be because of old age too?? Or could there be another probable cause? The hair loss is not due to his chewing on himself...so count that one out.

We washed him off and took all the crap off, but where the crap was his butt is like a bump and It's pink/red. It looks swollen or possibly infected. What should we do? It's been like that for two days now.

I recently had to put my 2-yr old st. bernard to sleep. We were workig with him to be a pet therapy dog at nursing homes and hospitals. We are very sad. My husband and I would like another dog either puppy or from shelter that would be a good temperment dog, very social, good with children so we can still pursue the therapy dog thing. As we both like to volunteer and see the joy people get from dogs.

i know people say they have a 6th sense, but do they actually think,
say your walking down the street and a person who you think is a pain in the backside stops you to chat about nothing, you dont want to be rude so while they go on & on & on, your thinking about shopping work kids etc etc (not that dogs will be thinking about work)
or
when you know that doing something will pee a person off big time, so you think about it for a while before you do it!
or
wonder whats for dinner later!!
you know them kind of thoughts, because i'm certain they do!

This is going to be long so sit back lol
I've noticed, after using Yahoo answers for a while now that when some people come on here and ask for a little advice or reassurance, they get attacked with remarks and horrid comments. for example, i was reading a question the other day about how to stop a dog from whining when its outside and suddenly people are going LET THE DOG INSIDE, YOU ARE SO CRUEL WHY WOULD YOU KEEP IT OUT?
i feel that this sort of comment is not only unnecessary but a clear lack of knowledge. the dog was obviously a large dog which was not suited to be inside and would probably dirty the house, which the owner kept so hard to clean. and people are suddenly just attacking him about how he shouldnt own a dog if he cant take care of it. which brings me to another point....i dont know about you but i hate it when people think that you shouldnt have a dog if you can't fend for it. people have know idea what the asker's life is like and they are saying that the dog des

when i first got her on may 23, she was 4 months old and about 2.5 llbs. Then in the middle of june, we took her to the vet and she was 3 llbs. And i just weighed her and she's now officially 4llbs. Is she growing way too fast for a purebred chihuahua? Should i switch her to adult dog food instead, so there's less fat? She's grown bigger too, not just fatter.

I see a lot of breeders selling chihuahua's, are chihuahua's the same as tea cup chihuahua's....I'm referring to size difference when the dog is full grown.

Will you help me look for her? She was lost on June 13th from Sebring,when a thunderstorm scared her.She is 13 years old and very sweet.She has been lost before,and she is shy,so it's hard for a strange person to catch her.She was last seen in the woods behing B.L. MIller School,but has traveled towards Alliance,Salem and North Benton ,as she has been lost twice before.Here is a link to some photos of her. Her name is Cowdog.

I have a dog that is about 7 months old and is also an outside dog mainly (he comes inside at night). Well lately we have not been home much and we (my husband and I) were thinking that mabe we should get another dog to keep him company and play with him while we are not home. We were also thinking about this because the only other dogs that are around him are our reletives dogs which are all little dogs like yorkies or small poodles which are intimidated by him (he's a sharpei and german shepard mix). We feel sad because he wants to play with the other dogs but he's too big for them so they run away from him. So my question is, do you think it would be a good idea do get him a play mate??

No hatefull comments or answers please, I already feel bad that we cant be with him throughout the day :(
Thanks!!
