I have changed his food twice! First we were feeding him wet food & then I figured that was the problem, so I switched to dry puppy food. But he still gets the diarrhea. Any ideas on why??

Wisconsin is the Badger State, and dachshunds were bred to hunt badgers. Wouldn't a dachshund want to live in Wisconsin more than anywhere else?

Why do dangerous dog laws have to be breed specific? How do you feel about dangerous dog laws? How do you feel about pitbulls, GSDs, Rottweilers and Dobermans becoming illegal in some states? What about labrador retrievers? They could be considered "dangerous" too. Does restricting pitbull and GSD ownership really protect people in the community or is it just a comfort thing?

I've grown up with these breeds and I love them. Sure they may need a special kind of owner, but just as some GSDs and pitbulls can become "dangerous" so can border collies, golden retrievers etc. (Had to bring up those two) :)

Why do these laws need to be breed specific? Are some dogs really more vicious than others or is it just the way they're raised? If it's just the way they're raised then why do so many irresponsible owners own pits and GSDs and other breeds that are considered more "dangerous"? What do you consider a "dangerous" dog?

I just moved in an apartment and the people upstairs have roaches. They are starting to come down to ours. We fogged the house and put out combat roach bait. My son has one in his room and our 12 week old puppy chewed on it. I was wondering if that could hurt him and what I need to do? I of course removed it. I need real answers and stupid comments please!!

My minature dauchshund just got into the cat's food. It was Iam's digestive dry formula for cats and she ate about a cup of it. Do I need to worry about her health? She is a very healthy dog normally. It has been about 2 hours and so far she seems ok.
(and, yes, I have already found a better place to store the cat food). Thanks!!!

My 4.5 month old puppy has flees. She is on, and has been on, Sentinel since she was 8 weeks old. The vet gave her capstar and a de wormer 2 days ago. I have never actually seen flees on her or in my home, only flee "dirt" on my dog. I have 3 chinchillas living in my home with my one dog and don't really want to use flee spray in my home. Do I really need to if the capstar kills adult flees and the sentinel has made the females sterile.?

This is what I have done in my home so far:
I live in a small 1 bdrm apartment with all hardwood flooring or tile flooring. I sealed all the gaps between the baseboards and floor with silicone last year so I'm pretty sure no fleas in there. My sofa is basically a big foam block with cushions on top that goes all the way to the floor. I vacuumed every square inch of my sofa/cushions, bed, and floors (including behind the fridge & stove. I also washed my dog's beds. Through all of this I saw NO signs of flees.

Took my dog to the vet about 3 weeks ago. He had revolution put on him, had a shot and he takes pills every other day. So far it seems like it has work some what, althought i did see one on his head ther other day i tried to catch the little bastard but it was too fast. My dog has stop itching like crazy so i guess he is a somewhat ok now.

Now the problem im faced with is getting the fleas out the house. I have hardwood floors and i mop with bleach and pine sole and each time i see a bunch of em just floating in the water. I also use that expensive spray that the vet sold me and claimed that it would kill the flease up to 7 months. Today i even went as far as to vacum my bare floors(yes i did..poor vac). And i wash clothes and bedding. Thing is i just dont feel as if im going to ever get rid of the those bastards. Any suggestions on what i can do?

Also any suggestions on getting rid of scars from flea bites would be helpful. They have made a freaking meal out of me.

Our English Pointer had her first litter 8 days ago of 4 healthy puppies. The first day or 2 she wouldn't leave them, but now she's so anxious to leave them and get out in the yard, that every time I walk into her room, she gets up and steps all over her tiny puppies, totally oblivious to their squeals of pain. Even when I'm in the house I hear constant squeals as she steps on them yet again. The English Pointer is a very hyper breed of hunting dog, unable to stay still. Is this normal?

She has had 3 puppies, the time between the first and second pups were 4 hours. Then the time between the second and third was 7 hours. Now, it appears that she has another puppy on the way, there is a hard lump, the same size of the 3 pups. It has been 6 hours since the 3rd pup has been born. Is it possible that this is indeed a puppy. This is not my dog, its my friends, so dont even yell at me for not having these dogs fixed. Mine are both fixed but thats all that matters. Thanks

I have two beefs with answers I've seen lately. The two topics have been breeding and diet. Let me just say that I'm very against puppy mills and back yard breeders. I know what a reputable breeder is. I'm also VERY involved with dog rescue. Here is my problem... Why are people on here so mean? When someone asks a question... don't rip them apart! Give them nice advice.. even if that includes info on breeding help. Of course encourage these people to to breed responsibly, or spay and neuter. But don't attack them to the point that they delete their question and go get advice some place different. That other source may lead them down a very bad path. We are on this forum to help educate. That includes the pet over population problem. Be nice! Teach responsibilty, don't PREACH anything.
Diet... Since there are dogs still chained in yards that barely get any food... how does anyone feel that they can be rude about what someone is feeding? You wanna help? Educate. Don't judge!
