Dogs - August 2007

I am getting a mixed black lab puppy and I was needing some info on costs. I live in Missouri if that matters at all. I have no clue how much it costs to do shots and treatments. Any advice or help is great!!!

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you,
but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

I got a lab/terrier(?) mix about 8 months ago, he's about 30 pounds and won't get much bigger. I just recently got a chihuahua/dauchsund (I think) mix, about 10 pounds, and they are basically the same age. The lab is very friendly and curious, and really just wants to play, but with the new dog it's a different story. She growls and tries to nip at him if he gets too close, and he doesn't try to retaliate or anything. The lab is male, the new dog is female, neither are fixed. I will be taking the lab in on Tuesday to take care of him, but I don't see how that will really solve her problem, as it's her that isn't "playing" nice. Any suggestions as to what I can do to make things work out???

One of our dogs have formed some kind of mass under its chin and we observed that it's getting larger. At first, it looks like fluid was trapped under the skin but then it got bigger and formed a mass or cyst. What is the cause of this? What can we do to remove it?

We have two great miniature dachshunds. The mother (dam) is AKC registered and the father (sire) is ACA.

Can we register their litter with the AKC?

If so, what kind was it. No dog I've ever had really likes it at all. They only eat it out of necessity and that makes me wish there was something better.

P.S. I don't even think about the cheap non-name brands.

For the past day or so, my dog hasn't been himself.. he is a cockapoo and is 7 years old.. he hardly moves or responds to us.. we thought that maybe the landscaper sprayed something and my dog inhaled it or something.. but its really making me worry.. i brought him by his water bowl and he drank and then i took him out, and then he peed. when we got back inside, he just layed down again barely moving.. my mom said he threw up while i was out yesterday .. today, my mom is going to take him to the vet when she gets out of work.. im just really scared for him because i had him since i was a baby.. he is very healthy except for yesterday when he started this behavior.. please help me out! =(

Hello, My dog is pregnant, A while back, I noticed that she had milk. The milk was all white and normal, Now, There is hardly any milk. At times, there is a heavy flow, but at other times, there is barely any. I dont know if this is normal. And another thing. I got her off of Craigslist.org on July 7,2007 and she was already pregnant. Her rib cage is huge but her stomach looks small from the side. Could pups be in her rib cage.
I heard about the temperature drop. She has one that changes. And how on earth can i tell if she has Cervical dilation. That is my biggest issue right now aside from the milk production. If you have any advice besides the normal"Take your dog to the vet" I just would like an answer.
Oh yeah, she will not stay in her own whelping box, instead, she goes ontop of my bed. I dont want her to have pups on my bed. is there any tricks i could do to get her to stay in her whelping box?

We've just bought a Dogue De Bordeaux (same as the dog from the Turner & Hooch film) & he's a little on the skinny side.
Now we've been feeding him his correct daily amounts, but i was wondering if there was any suppliments i could give him to boost his weight & make him look a little healthier.
I know he will slowley gain weight in time....but hey...i'm a woman & i'm impatient....lol.....

I believe we should look after these dogs, you can adopt greyhounds if you are interested, from the tracks, they are excellent pets.

have a pit bull and a few days ago she bit my husband, the pack leader, after our guest left the home and she came from outside. And today she forced her way out of a gate and my husband was standing next to the gate to make sure she doesn't get out. In the meantime a family was walking by with their two dogs and chacha (our dog) attacked the small dog, while my husband looked away for 2 seconds to tell me something. We are extremely scared that she might hurt someone or hurt another dog and we will get sued. Please help. We've done everything, we walked, trained her to realized that we are the pack leaders she has rules and she knows in order to get out of the house she needs our permission. But she has that instict to attack. what should we do. Should we put her to sleep? if you don't respond i think we might not have a choice but to put her to sleep in a couple of days.

I live in Michigan and lately it seems as if so many more Dog Fights have been making headlines. Recently, a location in Detroit was raided as a Dog Fight was in progress. Not only were the Dogs seized but a Personalized Trophy was even confiscated from the scene.

I am completely disgusted with this form of Animal Cruelty! These innocent Dogs are being trained, battered, abused and used just so some SICK MINDED people can earn a few dollars. Since these Dogs are trained to fight they must be euthanized when taken into custody.

Tell me how you feel about Dog Fighting......Do you Agree? If so, please Star this Question. I would really like to know how many of you care about these Dogs. Thanks!
