kids were playing and she got the corner of the "crate divider" (which we no longer use and was stored behind something)- the part that hooks behind the metal bars in the crate- caught in her lower eye lid. I got it out within seconds and it hasn't bled and after the initial yelping when it happened, she's been calm and quiet- even wagging her tail at the door at people. I put her in her crate to rest though and to see how it goes. So far, it actually looks okay which I find amazing. Is there anything else you think I should/could do?

Im going to become a trainer for assistance dogs for the handicapped. I'm still doing research on four different breeds. I'm going to choose just one. But I want to make sure I breed them right. Is there any books or websights that are helpful? And what is a good way to make sure the puppies not trained to be assistance dogs get good homes? Should I have them do research on the breed before deciding they are able to buy one? Should I check out where the puppy will live?
What is propar vet care for new born puppies? How do I find good parent dogs?

I have grown up with cats. And dont get me wrong, I love my kitties, but I just feel like I need a dog. I am actually a bit depressed that I cant own a dog. Every time I see a dog, I get excited to see them, but then I get sad because I want one. Every time I hear a bark I try to see where it is coming from. What can I do to keep my mind off of dogs? I asked the question earlier...but I wasnt satisfied with the answers. Remember, I CANT own a dog. Thank you.

I also have two males and another female, that are all being fixed, at the end of this week. My female is in heat. She IS separated at all times, from the males, and they have not, nor will they get to her. The problem I'm having now, is that both males, are not eating a whole lot, and are losing quite a bit of weight, because they are separated, from my female, and they want to get to her, which is not going to happen! I am giving both of my males Nutrical, but it's not doing much good at increasing their appetite. They were eating fine, before my female went into heat, but since then, they just don't seem too interested in food. I just wanted to know if anyone, has had a similar situation happen to them, with their dogs. What did you do, to get them to eat something, or is this normal for the males not to want food, when female is in heat? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Boy, I can't wait till the end of this week comes!

We recently acquired an approx. 2 year old Great Dane three weeks ago. She has been eating and drinking water normally but the past day she has been drinking very minimally and not eating at all. She will eat the dog treats but not food. We switched the food to something she had eaten previously but will not eat that either. She is not vomiting, does not have diarrhea but is more lethargic than normal. She doesn't appear to be in any pain and will come when called. Any suggestions?

I have a female black lab mix about 5 years old. When we are out walking and I run into a guy that I think is attractive, she will start barking at them. She doesn't seem to pay any attention unless the guy is interesting. It's kind of annoying.

I had always thought that walking your dog was a good way to meet guys. You know "Oh, what a cute dog. What's her name?" and then the conversation goes on from there. Not with my dog it doesnt. She lets them know right away that SHE'S not interested. Anybody have suggestions or similar experiences?

my dog ate some rat poisin last night. she didn't eat alot, about 6 pellets, i found this out by checking the weight of it compared to a new one. it is the d-con generation 1. I gave her hydrogen peroxide last night a few times, she threw up most of it the first time, and a little bit the second. i gave it to her until it stopped coming out - 4 times total. my vet is closed today, will open tomorrow. i don't have the money to take her to the emergency clinic. i am hoping to wait till tomorrow morning. she ingested it about 10 hours ago. anyone have any experience with this? i hear about how most dogs ate the whole bag and the were okay for a few days.

I want something medium sized, active, generally well trained. The only problem is that currently I only make about $200/mo, but I can work more at my other job, or pull a second job. I have money that I can spend, but I don't want to keep pulling money out of my bank account and would rather just use some of my paycheck to pay for the dog. I have family that may help pay for the dog, but I would rather want to make sure that I could pay for it by myself, and not have to rely on others.

Also, I don't have too much yard space, but live really close to an elementary school and state park. Any ideas on a good dog for me, a first time owner?

This question is only open to those who know about dogs please dont answer wrong because answering wrong means taking risk with my dogs life...Actually the vet says he has got severe gasteriris followed by viral. My dog is critical and has not taken in food from TEN days!!!!!!!!!!! Can u believe it 10 days. Whenever we do force feeding he vomits it. Whenever we offer him food he walks away. He is a golden retrievier and is 4 years old . He is really weak. The vets had said last week that he would die. But fortunately as my mum and dad were doctors so they put him on the iv line. He has to be put on it for 3 hours every other day.When we consulted another vet then he was surprised to know that our dog had not eaten any food from ten days.We have tried all types of vaccination....As directed by the vet we brought his choicest foods like vanilla ice cream, egg yolk,milk cake, custard, banana,boiled sweets, chicken etc. Inspite of all this he refuses to eat He also has depression .........
