I have a 3 month old boxer, and I've decided to use a prong collar because he is pulling so hard on the leash that he is hurting himself. I just want to know is if you think he is to young. I will say that he is getting better at walking on a regular collar and leash, it's just when we get in an area that he is used to he justs starts pulling. I think its more of him being scared than anything. Suggestions please.

I have a very young chihuahua. She is full grown but her teeth aren't all the way in yet. I only know that not her exact age.

This is what is happening--She starts to make a really wheezy stressed breathing sound, her heart slows WAY own and her entire body goes limp just after shaking really bad. I live 72 miles from nearest vet and need some good advice. Could this be a seizure or a dream or what???

I would think that since I have "rescued" the puppy from the pet shop they are no longer in an environment to be sick. Nor, were they really at the Mill for that long. Why is it just because a puppy came from a Mill they will automatcially come to us with some sort of life threatening disease? (this is what I read from most answers) I was just confused about it. Give any insight or PROOF you may have.

I bought 2 yorkie puppies from a breeder with written health guarentee to cover inherited disease for one year. The first vet exam after I recieve the puppies ( 2 weeks after), He found out one puppy has mild Luxating pattella. I wrote to breeder. By guarentee for inherited disease, I either able to return the puppy , or getting full or partial refund depend how severe the disease. The breeder email back said none of her siblings or parents has luxating pattella. Before She ship the puppies, her vet didn't find out the puppy has this disease either. She want me wait and see. Then I wrote her back and told her 2 options. 1: partial refund, I 'll take care of the puppy in the future in case she need surgery in the future. 2: Wait and see, If puppy syntoms get worse eventuraly need surgery. She need pay half of the surgery cost. That's the last contact with this breeder. She won't email back, she won't answer her phone. She still sell her puppies on her website. What should I do ?

I've been dating a great guy for 9 months.About 2 years ago his wife of 10 years passed in a car accident and I'm the first person he's dated since.They had a maltese that is totally a nuisance.He's 14 and I think my man keeps him to remind him of his wife.Every morning he has to massage it's neck and back because it has arthritis and most nights he rocks it to sleep like a baby.I've been trying to get him to put it to sleep,but he refuses because the vet says that his arthritis is controlled with medication.About a week ago I finally got sick of it and took the dog to the pound.When my boyfriend came home and found out he went ballistic.He raced to the pound and was able to get him back with literally 30 minutes to spare.When he returned he told me to get out of his house,so I went to my mom's for the night and the next day I went to his house and all my stuff was in the yard and the locks were changed.I love him so much and don't know what to do.Any suggestions?He told me we're thru.

Is there ANY WAY to sorta "prevent" Hip-Dysplasia in a GSD? Pills, medicine, anything!!! ( But not TOO much $)

Ya see, I hope to adopt an adult GSD mix from my local shelter. ( Or get one for Christmas. But don't worry, I am totally responsible, as see in my other question below. )

I was wondering if there is a way to prevent it? What pills / food do you use? Has there ever been a GSD without Hip-Dysplasia? Is a GSD *MIX* better off not getting it than an all GSD dog? Please help me!!! Thanks. :)

Oh, and NO, THIS IS NOT FROM A BREEDER SO I CAN NOT CHECK THE PARENTS!!! I AM "ADOPTING".

Thank You SOOOO Much Everyone!!! :):):)

MY OTHER DOG QUESTION, PLEASE ANSWER!!! : http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArbWyLXiWAo7WpaVpKc5Kh_sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071213114322AAnX9i8

( I am asking this because I know GSD's are very likely to get it, and so I was wondering how to prevent it. Ya see, my neighbors had a GSD that was hurt

I have a great sheperd mix. very smart. Very good natured. very submissive to me. He has had obedience training. Only problem is , he has fear issues, i guess. When we first got him he did a lot of submissive urination. That has gradually decreased but he is still a p***y. We live in a not too great neighborhood. We've finally got him to bark at people coming through our alley. The other day though, I came thru our alley and approached our yard with a hood on and walking funny. He didn't recognize me and began barking and howling. I came into the gate and he ran up onto the deck, still barking and pretty much stayed away from me. I don't want our dog to attack people or bite but I would like him to be more intimidating. If someone enters our yard, i want him snarling and lunging(not necessarily biting). Any tips?

I just adopted a 1.5 yr old border collie last weekend. He has his first vet check today, but im curious if this is the "collie eye" i have read about. He appears to have a lazy eye. Like one eye will be looking straight, one looking to the side. I keep reading information about the collie eye, and it is talking about retinas and whatnot, and doesnt really explain how to identify this abnormality. Just curious if anyone knows if this is what it is...I know the vet will tell me (hopefully), but im impatient. Thanks!

We currently live in a no pet complex. We are looking to buy a puppy and found one we really like. We are moving into a pet friendly home in a couple weeks. Do you think if I put a deposit on the puppy, the breeder can hold it for about 4 weeks until we move into our new home? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. I am hesitant, because I dont want to get ripped off and end up with no puppy...

I have been feeding him a scoop of canned food and a small handful of dry food in the morning and afternoon but i don't mix them i let him decide. but i dont know if feeding him wet food that much is good for him. And sense he is so little it looks like it is hard for him to eat the dry food but he doesn't seem to mind. and i leave a small bowl of dry food and water next to the bed so if he gets hungry its there but im not sure if that is a good idea or not.

Well, we have a dog who's 6 years of age and today my mum has been saying that he has had a little diarrhoea 3-4 times today with a little blood in it but we don't know why. He has a sensitive digestive system whenever he eats any lamb meat and always gets watery diarrhoea after eating lamb but then it goes after about one day. My mum said that she hasn't given him any lamb so I guess that's not the cause of it. She said she would call the vet but we need suggestions and the actual cause of why this is happening before doing anything. So, I guess that's my question.. if any more information is required I'll add it to the Additional Information section.

I have a 4 year old Chihuahua who has been very healthy up until about 6 months ago. It seems like at least once a week she is spitting up or gagging and sometimes has diahrea. It goes away after one day and she's back to normal but then returns again like a week later. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

I believe my dog is dying. She is almost 17 years old, and I have had her since I was 13 years old, so this is uncharted territory for me. I am not one of those crazy (buys my dog ice cream) people. Last night, my dog was acting strange, and kept waking up whimpering (super unusual, because, she never barks, whines, or whimpers normally). Earlier last night, I went to bring her on a car ride, and she didn't want to get in the car or stick her head out the window. This morning she seemed a bit better (no longer whimpering).

I think she may be dying, and since I may have to do this soon, let me ask these questions.

If a dog is 17, and I bring her to the vet, do you think they are automatically going to suggest her time is over? Do you think it is better to be with the dog, as they are putting the dog to sleep? Is getting a dog cremated, and keeping the ashes, silly?

Thanks for your opinions and advice.

My Dalmatian has been having seizures for years, she is 12 years old. It goes in waves but sometimes she'll have a few in a week but then go 6 months without having any. She never has just one, she'll have one a 10PM and then another at 4AM.
The unusual thing is that she always has them while she is sleeping. She has never has one when she is awake.

She has had 4 now since last night, one at 10PM, one at 4AM, one at 9AM and one at 12:30PM. I have taken her to vets, they all tell me it doesn't "hurt" her when she has a seizure but it does scare her alot. They tell me they that the medication is so damaging for her liver and kidneys that the seizures are less harmful.
Are their any homeopathic or natural remedies that could help?

I do not think it is normal for the seizures to happen when she is sleeping is it?

Thoughts, advice?

My 6-month old Weimeraner threw up a large rock this morning. And since then he's continued to throw up for about an hour or two. He pooped about 3 large normal poops. He ate some food, threw it all up, drank some water, threw that up, then he was throwing up yellow foamy bile. For the last 1/2 hour he's been laying quietly on his bed but is shaking on occassion. I made some white rice and chicken and he won't touch it. He's drank some small amounts of water. He just looks very sad right now. Any recommendations?
