Dogs - October 2007

My dog has a rash on her stomach and now its spreading on her legs, arms, and now her face. It is kind of red and black; She has been itching a lot. We bought her flea and tick stuff and hot spot treatment. I can't afford to bring her to a vet right now. Is their any body that is or knows a vet. I am getting scard.
Serous answers only please!!!

She is a German Shepard and will be 4 in a few days...

Thanks

Would you kill ten puppies to save your favorite four legged friend? Say like for a disease or something? Hypothetically.

My pup is 8wks old, and i take her in the grass to potty but there isn't alot of other dogs around but she scratches right behind her ears but just her right one and i thought maybe fleas, but i thought humans could get them from their pets and i've haven't been itchy. She has been scratching for three days now off and on, i guess when she is still long enough to notice. Why is she scratching and why am i not itchy if its fleas?

my dog probably caught some bad allergies and now suffers from a sinus infection. i took him to two different vets. first one prescribed me amoxicillian and benedryl. i gave him both - it increased the amont of mucus and snot and made hi wheeze. the second vet gave me bendryl - a stronger form of antibotics and it dried up a lot but he's still having difficulties smelling things. he will drink water, but he still refuses to eat. its day 4 and i am starting to get worried. doctor told me to wait a few days before bringing him back. i tried feeding him regular dog food, canned food, cooked food - variations of turkey, chicken, ham, beans, and beef - he won't even try them. i have used a suringe to inject a little bit of protein shake into the corner of his mouth but he vomits some of it back hours later. i am running out of ideas. i really want him to get over this and be well and i am running out of ideas.

my chihuahua keeps scratching his ear (where the ear attaches to his head) and now it's bald there. it's not fleas because I put flea drops Advantix or something on few days ago. yet he keeps scratching that same spot. i put some human antiseptic on it but he doesn't stop.

what could it be?????????? is it just a bad habit??????

My puppy is only 8 weeks old and i'm currently housetraining her with a crate and so forth, and she is in between sets of shots so she can't have her second set until the 25th, because of this i am careful about not taking her where other dogs and puppies have been but i do take her outside to potty and in the past few days she has been scratching behind her ears. So my question is, if she isn't around other dogs how is she getting fleas, if thats what they are, and why haven't we (people) gotten anything like it, if its around where i live? Btw, i bathed her last night, so she is clean.

I attribute every psychological problem I have to the fact that I didn't get a dog until I was 11 (haha).

From age 3 to 11 I was absolutely obsessed with dogs. When I was little I would pretend to be a dog and by the time I was 8 I would start "borrowing" others' dogs- I would take neighbors' dogs for walks (with their permission) and hang out in their yards whenever their dogs were outside. Either that or I would just bring their dogs over to my house to play. (Did I mention I'm an only child? =P)

My point is, even before I had my own dog, I couldn't go through life without them. Do you plan on having dogs for the rest of your life without gaps in between? Will you plan your future to accommodate having a dog? Do you plan on having a dog until the day you die?

My answers are Yes, Yes and Yes. I feel like my life would be incomplete without dogs.

This question is for all those out there (and you know who you are) who think that people who insist that only top-quality animals be bred are snobs, greedy, Nazis, or predjudiced:

Where do you get the crazy idea that it's okay or 'natural' to breed animals simply because they're "cute" or "super-friendly" or the "best pet ever?" This may be true for you, but it is not representative of breeding-quality animals. Champions have all those qualities + genes that are worth passing on. How do they prove it? Shows, field trials, athletic events, schools, police proving grounds, etc...

Think an animal doesn't have to PROVE it should be bred? Ask your Mother- Mother Nature! Ever seen two Bison fight, or two Lions, or two Elephant Seals, or two Elk? Why do you think they're fighting? To PROVE which one has the right to mate- to determine which is the best!

To those who say selective breeding is unnatural...Mom says "You're Wrong!"

Thoughts, please? If you have them?

I got home from work at around 6.30pm. My parnter had left at 1.30pm so our beagle had been alone for five hours. She is used to this and usually sleeps until I get home. However I cam home tonight and she had urinated in the kitchen which is not a usual occurence and had vomited a few times around the kitchen. She doesn't want her food tonight which is very unusual as she is usually a typical greedy beagle! Also when I first came home she was very restless wandering around the house although now she has settled a bit and is lying on the sofabed next to me. Should I take her to the vet immediately? I don't want to waste their time if she doesn't really need to go. I'm wondering if she just has an upset stomach. I can't think of anything she could have eaten that she shouldn't have although my partner was sorting through some bulbs to plant in the garden earlier and she could have pinched one of them. She seems quite bright in herself except for quiter than usual. HELP!

hi. I recently got a pit bull puppy. He was 6 weeks old when I got him, and we've had him for 4 weeks now, so he is 10 weeks old. He has grown a lot in the 4 weeks, but when we take him for walks we have had people tell us that he is really small for his age. Here's a link to a pic of him at 10 weeks with my mini dachshund. My dachshund weighs around 15 lbs (he's a little chubby) just so you can get a comparison to size. Is this normal size? If not, should I be concerned? thanks a lot guys!

They pee and poop on the floor, he's not the best at cleaning up after them. The first day he brought them into the house, one immediately lifted his leg on the wall (AFTER being taken out to potty). They wallow all over the furniture (I sneeze to no end) and beg terribly while we're eating dinner. He got a little peeved when I told him no dogs in the bedroom.. it's the only place I can BREATHE. We're getting the backyard fenced in, but he says outdoors is NOT an option to his little angels. My cat has been living in a closet the past three weeks, because the dogs terrorize her. The dogs ravage the litter box looking for "snacks". I am at my wits' end! HELP

I pulled it off with a pair of tweezers, got it head and all, it wasn't really burrowed in by the looks of it, but the area is very red so I guess it might of been? Then I applied neosporin to the area. Should I take him to the vet? He has a tick & flea medication already maybe I should switch over to a different kind? I use revolution, but I heard frontline is top notch? Will my dog be ok?


I don't know how he managed to pick it up, we've never had a problem with ticks before, is there a possibility they came from our palm trees? We recently cut them and left the fronds in our backyard, might that be a new source of ticks?

I have a cocker spaniel who broke out after we used Frontline on him as a puppy. His vet has recommended we try Advantage. He currently has fleas.

How long will the Advantage take to kill the fleas that are already on him? Will it kill them or does he need to be treated first? Is Advantage any better on sensitive skin than frontline is?
