Ok Friday morning I got up and my dogs front left foot was swollen. I checked it for thorns, stickers etc.. Nothing. I looked online to see what I could give him for pain. I finaly got a aspirin down him later that afternoon. He laid around all day. I gave him 1more aspirin late that night. This morning I get up and hes limping but walking and tring to play, better than the day before. Tonight the swellin has gone down, but I guess he had an abcess and it burst. What can I put on it untill I can get him to the vet? I read something about witch hazel on a cotton ball? Dont tell me I should take him to the vet asap. My car is broke down we live 25 miles from the closet vet and my check didnt come in on friday.And monday is a holiday. I thought he may have just sprained it untill it started bleeding late tonight

I selected my baby girl because she was so beautiful. She has brown but her face was the darkest one. Now she is almost 3 months old and it seems her face is getting lighter. How much can it change? How long until her true colors show? Any training tips?

I do all you mentioned. I have a very strict routine. It’s not the coming and going I am worried about. What is worrying me is that she gets very upset at simple things, not obvious ones. Like a bug in the room, a piece of mud in the porch, when I put out my cigarette with my right hand instead of left, when I am in the tub and I use liquid soap instead of the bar or when I breath different. She gets stressed out, but not aggressive. She barks, she paces, whines and freaks out over these things. For example tonight when I lit the bbq she was just fine. After 10 min she started barking at the grill and salivating (Nothing on the grill yet) and grabbed the leg of the grill and tried to run off with it! When we stopped tried to stop her she stood in front of the grill, did not growl but tried to fend us off. Then she took the tongs and started to try and bury them. What is that???

The other night I was awakened by my dog (a full grown Blue Heeler) barking, I got a flashlight & went out to yell at him to be quiet when I saw what he was barking at - a possum on our porch, my dog kept lunging at the possum & had apparently injured it (it's back legs were broke) I got the dog in the house & scared the animal into "playing possum" & carried it carefully down our yard & threw it over the fence towards the woods. I've checked the dog twice (once after I took care of the possum & later the next day), I don't see any cuts or bite marks on him. could he still have rabies?

he's pretty up to date on his shots & I read rabies are rare in possums.

My dog is my best friend in the entire world. I tell her everything and she's just perfect in every way and I cant stand going on vacation because I miss her too much. This is her. Her name is madison.

So do I love her too much or is this normal?

My dog is 7 months old, and is a terrier mix I got from the pound about 1 month ago. He has cherry eyes, but this morning when he woke up they were gone. Does this really happen?

My chihuahua went out of heat on 8-22 were we bread her for the first time. We gave her a bath with flea shampoo and then regular shampoo on 8-30. Since then she has been acting strange. Somtimes she pretends to be sick when there is nothing wrong with her for extra attention so its hard to tell if it is real or not. She has been hiding in the closet on clothing and shaking excessivly, she walks slow like its painfull. I lightly pet her back and she yips like it hurts. Her whole body is super tight and she wont relax. She has been falling asleep sitting up more then normal. I had never used any flea shampoo. She has been eating and drinking fine. Today she laid in sun for a long period of time as if soothing. The only other time she has acted like this was when she was constipated but not this long or to this extent. Please, if you have had the same problem and have some advice on if this serious or life threatening please let me know A.S.A.P.

My 2 1/2 yr old english bulldog got neutered 5 days ago. Yesterday we went to the vet because his scrotum was swollen, the vet said this is normal, but today it looks even more swollen. Of course it is the weekend, should I be concerned? Help!

I have taught him to sit on command, but he is so excited at the prospect of getting a treat, he sits and wiggles and scoots his rear end around. I then started attempting to make him lay down with a 1 word "DOWN" and he does go down but the treat is just too much and he is going crazy before he gets down and once he has the treat, its all over and he is full of energy. How long can it take to train this dog, or are some just never trainable? We have been working on this trick for over a month.

they run from him and just sit up in this window ledge we have in our house and watch him. If he comes near they hiss and run. The puppy is really nice around kitties, the lady we got him from had kitties and they got along fine. He is an 8 week old black lab. My question is do you think they will get along eventually, or will my kitties be afraid of our puppy forever?

We just adopted A puppy from a local shelter and she's biting my dog and nipping at me . What is the best thing to do to stop her from biting more. The more I tell her no the more she bites. When that happens I put her in her kennel to calm her down. Is this the right thing to do? I want to stop this fast before it happens again because next time it could be my son. Please Help.

Sadly, I recently learned from my parents that out family dog has become increasingly weak, and barely able to walk. It's hard to tell if she has been suffering from pain, or not. She never yelps out in pain, but she is almost completely blind, and has an extremely painful time trying to walk.

She was my chilhood companion, and is now 18 years old, which ins absurd for her species(shih-tzu). Now, hopefully she will go to sleep, and never wake up. I don't want to go through having my dog euthanized, but I will indeed have it done should be canine friend be in pain and suffering, she doesn't deserve to suffer.
