Shes had a work up and this pill worked at first, we laxed abit and now she is really incontinent. I am religiously doing 4x a day----but does this work for old dogs ? or are they bound for always dribbling. I hate to see this because she'll be outside and wants to be in part of the day with us. But I can't do it . How does it end up with old old dogs? I need to prepare myself for what the future has in store.

We were playing and it became loose and started bleeding. Do I have to get it pulled?, I want him to keep his canines. He was licking like crazy so I think its bothering him, although I don't think its painful? Is it alright if I just leave it and hope it heals?

She barks at everything from knocks at the door, doorbells, (on TV and not), and other dogs and people walking by our back door. We got her from the pound about 5 years ago and still can't break her of this habit. She just doesn't understand "no" and a little smack on the nose along with it. Any ideas? Not interested in shock collars or anyhting like that.

I asked a question referencing the prong collar, as my lab/staffy mix is bullheaded and will not catch on to walking nicely on any training leash. I received quite a few answers telling me to get my dog in obedience school and I need to train my dog. We have invested a lot in our dog. She has been to an obedience class and we have had an in home trainer. I am not offended at all by those comments because I know how diligent we are on a daily basis with her. Do people just assume that all dogs are easy? She is very very stubborn and has a mind of her own. Anyways, I am writing this to say don't assume people haven't trained their dogs if they need help with a training issue. Thanks! Have a lovely day!!!

I posted a question about what mix of breeds you think my dog is,and someone answered saying that she was a "grossly obese" mutt.I know she has weight issues and her vet said that she was "chubby," but I do not think that she is "grossly obese." She's 11 and spayed and has a heavy build anyway.She has no problems getting around,and pulls me down the street on walks and she has no breathing problems.I know that she's chubby,but "grossly obese?" Your opinions,please! If the majority says that she is,then I will put her on a diet!

I'm 15 and I live in a house with my mom, my sister (18), and my sisters friend who moved in with us (also 18). My mom knows someone who found five black lab puppies, got them neutured and de-wormed or whatever, and are now giving them away. If no one takes them they will be put to sleep.
So we might take one. Should we? Are we all too old to get a puppy because since dogs live for over 12 years does that mean my mom will be left alone with it after we all move out.

Is this a bad idea? Our house is kinda small but we have a nicely sized back yard. And we all love dogs and all want one.
But i'm not sure because shouldnt a family get a dog when the kids are really young? So that the whole family is with the dog until it gets old?

My new puppy (shes 8 wks) is a little brat. She is yorkie/chi and a mean little girl. If we touch her toys she goes nuts and growls, bites and attacks our hands. And trust me when I say she could not be better taken care of...someone is always with her, she gets fresh food 4 times daily, she is given baths, has a basket full of toys, always being loved on and talked to BUT when we pick her up 80% of the time she growls and then runs from us and hides (not in a scared way but kind of playing I guess) Is there any way I can break her of biting and make her more loving (wants to be held/loved) ...Or is this just a puppy??

I have a 11 1/2 month old lab/am staff mix and she just won't walk nicely on a leash! We have tried EVERYTHING. Regular collar, gentle leader face and the gentle leader harness, telling her heel and pulling her back to us, and just plain stopping when she forges ahead of us. We treat her when she does heel nicely and right after she swallows that treat she is off and pulling again. I really don't want to use one, but I don't know what else to do. What was your experience with pinch collar?

He was caught by the dog catcher weekend before last and was in the pound for 2 days until it opened on Monday. He was hoarse when I got him back and they told me he woofed himself into being hoarse over the weekend. I thought his woof was coming back, so I didnt think too much about it. Well he is now really hoarse and he is not eating his dog food and I think he must be sick. I put some warm beef broth in with his dog food, and he only ate about 4 bites and left the whole pan of food. What could be wrong with my dog and should we go see the vet?

I am so confused. My puppy is alone 3 days a week - for about 9 hours - with a dogwalker coming in to feed and play half way through. My vet told me he will have to relieve himself more than one time so make sure there is enough room in the crate for him to do that or just block off a small section with baby gates. I have the baby gates up and his crate in the space with the door open. I have tried to get him used to the crate (treats, blankets etc.) (he was fine in it with his littermates) but he goes crazy. He cries and whines. He did okay for the first two nights in his crate but now he is waking up every hour and whining and barking. We end up taking him out (we have to get some sleep too) and putting his bed on the end of ours where he sleeps soundly and lets us know if he has to go pottie. Should I take the crate out of my room and set my alarm to take him out during the night? Or is it okay to let him sleep on his bed at the foot of our bed?

When my ex and I were together, I purchased a puppy (worth $800), but my housing situation did not work out, so we agreed to keep it at his place. I continued to pay for all the puppy's toys, food, and vet bills, as it was understood that it was mine. Now that we've broken up, he is absolutely refusing to even let me SEE the dog. I could take him to small claims, but from what I understand, I can only sue him for the money then. I'm very attached to my dog and would very much like to see it again. Any advice?

I have a 7 week old APBT who weighs about 6 pounds. My friend recently bought a APBT who is gigantic compared to mine and weighes about 10 - 12 pounds so basically is twice the size of my APBT. Comparing my dog to others she is small, she has had her shots and has been dewormed. I'm thinking about feeding her Diamond brand is this a good Idea? I am now feeding her bil-jac mixed in with purina beneful. I want to change food and find out a way to have her gain weight and look big like the other pup. Please give on advice about foods and ways to prepare that are healthy and will tack on weight fast.

When they repeatedly hit, kick, strangle your dog?

And they're a toddler?
Or a gradeschooler?

What would you do in each age group?

Two years ago I had my dog Mikey (boston Terrier) vaccinated at a pet clinic and then two days later he went into kidney failure. Our regular vet was able to save him but he had to stay in the hospital for 5 days. He is fully recovered but we have not gotten his shots again out of fear. Then just Wednesday Oct 3rd, 2007 we had our other boston terrier Maggie vaccinated at our regular vet. On Saturday Oct 6, 2007 she went into a grand mall seizure and respitory failure and sadly never recovered. Now my husband and I are extremely reluctant to have any of our other pets vaccinated out of fear it will either make them severly sick or possibly kill them as it just recently did. We are not sure if the vaccinations did this but we are nervous that it has now happened twice.
