Dogs - December 2007

Hi,
My dog has a really bloated, distended stomach, yet displays none of the other signs of bloat.
He hasn't been trying to throw up, restless, anxious, hunched up, panting, drinking too much, and he's not in pain at all, even if I gently press his stomach. Also, his stomach is making the normal gurgling noises.

But it's very noticeable, and although he's burping quite a lot, he can't seem to get rid of the gas.

Can anyone help or offer any advice?

Thanks a lot.

Is it harmful to her if I let her lick her paws? She doesn't like stuff on her paws and she does it CONSTANTLY. I try to get her to quit, but I think it's just a fetish she has. Would it really bother her if I just let her lick her feet?

Well, I'm going to the vet next week to get her ears flushed, we already made the apointment. What I was wondering is if there's anything I can do to give her some "temporary" relief now? I don't think I should use a qtip, cause that would just push the wax in deeper wouldn't it? Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks so much! :) She is a lab and she's almost 7 years old. Thank you. ((My boyfriend's dog, this is kind of new to me)).

There has been a dog that has been running around my mom's neighborhood for awhile now so I decided to keep her because I felt sorry for her & I know she has worms because she's a stray, but I wanted to know if there are any home remedies that I can do to get rid of them or at least keep them under control until I can afford to take her to a vet? And somebody told me that garlic will help them... is that true? Please help!

I'm speaking to the average pet owner here...If there was someone nearby who was experienced and knowledgeable and reputable in YOUR breed, would you seek them ?

What would you like to learn about your breed?
What questions would you ask them?

I have 4 dogs, they all bark when people walk in my house but after one of them had puppies, she changed. It's been about 2 years since she's had puppies and now when people walk in or out of our house, she bites them. But she'll only do it to some people. Not everyone. why is she doing this and how do I make her stop?

Sorry, I know how much we all hate the "what should I name my dog" questions, but I'm about to contribute to the problem.

We're getting another Papillon tonight- it's Louie's half brother :)

I already have a few names that I'm considering but there's one that I'm in love with....there's a slight problem with it though. I really like the name "Diamond" but the puppy is a boy- does Diamond have too much of a feminine connotation?

I'm not asking for suggestions for names or whether or not I should name the puppy Diamond. I just want to know if you think it's too girly for a boy dog. If you met a boy dog named Diamond, would you find it strange?

I feed my pup Solid Gold Wolf Cub, which she was origanily on Pro Plan which was suggest by my vet, Why would they have told me that Pro Plan was so good for my pup when really it gave her skin issues and less energy, every since I switched her she has even more energy than befor which I didnt think was possible, but again why would my vet suggest Pro Plan ?

How do I stop her from digging? She is almost a year old and she keeps on digging up plants that my dad puts in. He doesn't want to discipline her, because he has a bad temper. She constantly digs and digs! My dad says that if she doesn't stop, he'll give her away, and I can't do anything about it! How can I train her???!!!!!

I'm still learning about dogs. I enjoy learning about breeds I've never owned. Are there any little known facts about your breed others may not know?

or brown(chocolate)? Other than color of course.

Do they have a distinctive difference in personality, temperance or obedience or something?

in height?

How tall are they by the way? Are there any other dogs that are taller than Great Danes?

I was told that if you get these "rare" colors in breeds, that they are worth more money. This isn't true?

I was told that breed standard is just for snobs that don't like the other colors that are special and rare in their breeds, that is why they aren't included. These rare colors make the dog MORE valuable, not less. Isn't that true? Isn't it just the AKC snobs that are trying to control everyone else's dogs?

What do you think?
