Similar to how women can get a yeast infection after finishing a dose of antibiotics could my dog have developed a yeast infection in his ear because of the antibiotics?

My female shih tzu is going to be 3 in October but she has started digging again and it is really annoying. She was digging last year so we put boots on her whenever she went outside until she stopped but now she is digging again. I don't want to do anything that will hurt her (smacking) but I want her to stop.

Shes an english bulldog (adorable!), and I met her today. I need a name for her. She's brindle, and obviously a girl. If anybody has any good ideas for a name please let me know, thank!

I really would like to get a dead dog like Rowdy that JD and Turk have on Scrubs. It would be so cool to be able to take him to the park and put roller skates on him and take him for a walk.

Is there a place you can order a stuffed dead dog from?

Why do people buy dogs from pet stores? Doesnt common sense tell you a MALL is not the place to buy a 10-20 year commitement . How about choosing a dog breed? Is the ability to think for oneself a rarity , must we all follow celebrities? I am not saying all people are like this but why do the majority of people seem to lack common sense with the regaurd to dogs ? Please give me some insight on this matter.

I am DEAD certain that my puppy has fleas. My boyfriend said he saw small black bugs on him after playing outside. He is always scratching or something. When we take him to the vet, the vet says she sees no fleas or flea dirt. I want to just give him something to be sure. I would hate the thought of fleas in my house.

Don't get me wrong, I know that there are those out there that are "dog lovers"....it doesn't really matter what kind of dog. There are also those out there that are on a "mission" to save dogs. All of that is great.

My problem is with the people that have never owned a member of the "bully" breed, yet they talk about them as if they are monsters. I have two American Pit Bull Terriers, and they are, by far, the best dogs I have ever owned. They are loving, loyal, and willing to please. I've never had any of the so called "problems" that I hear these pit bull "haters" talking about. My experience has been so good with them, I wouldn't ever think about owning another breed of dog.

My heart hurts because my daughters come home telling me horror stories that the neighbors kids have told them about our dogs, and what they will do, and these people have never spent any amount of time around our dogs. My dogs are part of my family, and I am a responsible owner. What can I do?

She's a small dog and we've tried everything. We've used the monthly drops down the back, the dips, and cheap and expensive colars.

Are you passionate about them?
Do you think they should extinct?
I think there is no harm in them, they are like all dogs. Why shall we exclude them?

Why do people inherently hate small dogs? I know that there are small-dog owners that don't think their dogs need to be properly trained just because of their size, but that isn't the dog's fault.

These same people that say "I hate small dogs!" are the same people that, when it comes to breeds like pitbulls say "There are no bad dogs, only bad owners". Isn't that hypocritical?

You never see people saying "I hate all big dogs". Are small-dog owners just more respectful of people's breed choices?

I can understand if the breeds may not be their preference, but I don't see how someone can say they are a dog lover and then say they hate certain dogs based solely on their size.

I start to really cry when I think about this. I've had my dog since she was 2 months old and I've had her everyday of my life for 11 1/2 years. Now I've been often dreaming of my dog dying and so I'm wondering what is the process you go through after your dog died?

I know one day I'll come home from work and see my dog lying there. So what do I do afterwards?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just recently bought a 4mo old puppy that was completely housetrained, and a couple days after I brought him home, he started to go all over the house. Nothing works. During the day, he'll look straight at me and go right in front of me! Nights are worse, and we can't lock him in a cage because he howls and we live in an apartment so we lock him in our room, and he goes all over. I called the previous owner and she had never had a problem with him. We've tried everything from not feeding him after a certain time, to taking him out every 30-45 minutes. I don't know what to do anymore.

I might get a dog, and have been researching breeds. I like quite a few small dogs, but I didn't choose them for their size intentionally. I just want a good all-rounder that's fun, healthy, friendly, doesn't need excessive amounts of exercise - and lots of small dogs happen to fit that category! For example, the Bichon Frise.
But I've had quite a few comments from friends that because they're small and fluffy, they aren't 'proper', or they're 'dolly' dogs. I personally don't have a problem with their size, and I wonder why some people do. I think it's the dog inside that counts! But I'd really like to hear your opinions, whatever they are, so please post :)

My yellow lab has a vaginal prolapse! Apparantly it is something that happens at the 1st heat where the vagina actually begins coming out of the vulva. The emergency vet said it may go back in on its own after the heat is over if I make sure to keep it moist! Anybody know of any cases that this has happened? I've only read that surgery will fix it!

My daughter left home for University and my (7yrs old) German Sheppard is kind of blue and not eating, I did the egg white secret that she used to do once in a while, and he eats most of his food now, I read somewhere is good for their hair, and somewhere that I shouldn't be doing this because...can't remember why.

Should I keep doing it , or not? He feeds once a day and I mix his dry (Purina) food with one egg white, but don't want him sick.
Please advice if you are a professional with animals and can explain why I should or shouldn't continue with this.
Thank you

Our 12 year old female Jack Russell cross has started howling like a banshee, for no appartant reason. She does this about 2 hours after her morning feed usually when she wakes up from a rest and is inconsolable for about 10 mins. She does not appear to be in pain but continues to make this earsplitting howling almost wolflike. She venetually settls down and then sleeps for a couple of hous. Any ideas anybody. It frightens the life out of me especially as I do not know why she does this.

Did your parents get *you* a dog?
Or did your *family* get a dog?
Or were you a no-dog household?

Our dogs were always family pets...we all went to the breeder's house to play with the puppies and choose the one that seemed right for our family.

Just curious how other people's families did it.
