I mean how often should the mom be with her puppies when they are just starting to eat puppy food. They are about 5-6 weeks old.Yes i am feeding them food and they are really eating it, cleaning off the plate. lol Everytime i bring mom into the room she would literally just sit for about a minute then leave.

Hey guys my dog finally had her pups..11 total. I was wondering what would be a good adoption price for chocolate lab/pitbull mix pups that will be up to date on shots, wormings, and come with spay or nueter contracts? They are only a day old and I'm not finding them homes until they are atleast 8 weeks old..just wondering what you guys would say is a fair adoption fee for the pups?

Ok. I know what ticks look like, but what about fleas? Are they the same thing?

My Chihuahua doesnt have ticks, but every morning when he wakes up he gets the itch, Everywhere!

He scratches his back his chest area, eyes, face, ears, ***, and tale?

Is it dry skin? Or fleas?

I'm a college student that lives away from home with my family's dog, so our vet is about an hour and a half away. Anyway, my dog's nail cracked, so I was wrapping it with gauze, and putting peroxide/styptic powder on it until I could take him to the vet. This morning, his nail was hanging off, and twisted to the side - it looked painful, though he didn't seem to mind at all. I dropped him off at a vet that I was referred to at 11:30am, and they said they were going to numb him, cut it off, then bandage him up. I didn't think it would take that long, but they told me to leave a number, and to come back. I just called, and they said that they bandaged him up and what not, but that I can pick him up between 5 and 6. It's 1:20pm here, what could they possibly be doing that I can't come and get him? He's a diabetic, so I'm just nervous about him getting some water and food. Also, how much is this going to cost me? (Estimates from prev experience). They said the office visit is $68.

I usually make my pup a special meal for her birthday (chicken, veggies, and a bit of rice, sometimes a bit of pumpkin mixed in if I have it on hand) but I thought I'd make her something special for Christmas this year as well.

I know some people make their own 'dog food' at home. Any good recipes? Do you treat your pups on holidays?

She's small, so making about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup per meal would be enough. I could split it for her morning and night feed if the recipe was for a cup or more (wouldn't she be thrilled!).

I just don't have the time to make her food all the time, but I think this would be a nice treat for Christmas. She gets Canidae kibble the rest of the year.

Has anyone ever seen this website before?

http://www.pet-abuse.com/pages/cruelty_database.php

It is so sad...you can search and read reports of animal abuse based on the type of animal or what happened to the animal. It's horrible. So many horrible people do so many horrible things to animals. Some of the stories even give you a map at the bottom, so you can see how close to home some of this stuff happens.

It's disgusting. What are your feelings on this website and the things you read? What are you doing to help prevent animal cruelty? What experiences do you have with abused animals?

I adopted a dog and the lady @ the agency says I should tie her leash to my belt as I do my chores,etc. all day. She is insecure right now and I don't really feel as if tying her to me will make anything better. She is a small dog, about 5 pounds. Anyone have any experience with this technique?

She is almost 2 and she's a Shepperd Lab mix. I put her through obedience training with Bark Busters and even they were amazed at how hyper she is. The instructors recommended changing her diet. The problem is, I can't remember if they said low protein or low carb food. Low carb makes more sense but I'm pretty sure that they said low protein. I have tried her on many different high quality food, none of that Purina crap, anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

with a long O, I always thought they were referring to the cattle, and it has just now, after 50+ years that it dawned on me that they, I guess, were talking about the cattle dogs. Is that it? And please don't tell me how stupid I am. I already feel that way!!!

This is an infamous award for hypocrites and those who have nothing better to do than get into other people's business and demand they change their way of life.

I find it interesting that, of the 9 contenders for the award, 4 of them are associated with PETA or HSUS.

Back in Oct we found a stray dog. We looked for her rightful owner but came up empty. We decided to keep her because we grew very attached and she is now apart of our family. She was just barely pregnant when we found her. She is now at full term, has started nesting as of last night at aprox 6-7pm. She then made her whelping area under my son's crib and has been under there and wont come out since aprox 9-10pm last night. Prior to that she was pacing, shivering, panting and real gaggy. I did some reading and it said that is a sign of labor. It is now 11:05am and nothing. No puppies, and she is still under the crib, will pant and shiver every few mins and then sleep for a few mins. I have read that labor can last 6-12 hours before delivering the first pup, but then read other places that after labor starts it is usually w/in an hr. Im very confused on what to do and it seems that every vet I call for info wont tell me over the phone. Any vets on here that can help me please? Thanks!

A coworker just told me that he is thinking of switching his puppy to raw dog food (as in raw meat). He says he spoke to a salesperson last night and the salesperson thinks it's the best thing ever and his dog will be the healthiest it's ever been.

My coworker suggested I switch my dog as well, but I'm a little uneasy about it. What are the pros & cons of a raw diet for a dog? Do you have any experiences with it?

Thanks! :o)

While I was on my way back home from the store, I got a call from my Mom, telling me that he'd broken off his tie-out when the mailman passed (he doesn't like the mailman) and run down the street into the field. The kid across the street - who has never had any contact with him - went after him and led him back into the yard by his leash. Apparently, when the child reached for the door knob to open the front door, the dog went into protective mode and nipped him on the back of his hand. I came home immediately, not knowing the whole story, thinking that he'd killed the boy. My father was holding the dog on the porch by the rest of his leash. I was relieved, and checked on the boy (I'll call him Brian, since I don't like saying 'the boy'). Well, Brian's little sister said that he was okay, but that their mom was coming from work to bring him to the doctor. Still shaking, I looked down the street and saw Brian walking toward us. I went up to him and asked him how he was. He

He's had all of his shots, including wormer treatments, heart worm prevention, flea and allergy treatment. This is not a side effect of any medication. He has been throwing up off and on. He does not eat human food, regularly. He is not used to it. The first time this happened, my dad had fed him turkey meat from Thanksgiving. He was sick for two days, but was fine after.
We have two other dogs, who are used to human food, and are not sick at all.
Last night, we came home to a mess. There also hadn't been anyone home, for an hour or so. We cleaned it all, he still acted fine... we left and came home a few hours later to an even larger mess. He uses the restroom outside, and was crate trained, and doesn't have accidents in the house.
1. Should I still be feeding puppy formula dog food? We have fed him the same brand since we got him, but we recently switch from Puppy formula (Healthy Growth for puppies) to Original. (All Beneful)
2. Could this be a nervous issue?

My girl is now 3 yrs old. Getting ready to go into season. She finished her championship on her 3rd birthday and got her CGC to boot!. We have done all her testing. Heart Good, Hips & elbows Good. Cerf good and good angles. Thyroid good. The Ch Stud is also cleared of health issues.

OK here comes the questions. We are going to use the Handler we used for comformation to help facilitate the breeding but if my girl is ripe when she is at shows then it lays on our shoulders.
My girl is very clingy to me and my husband so should we just send her off to the studs house and hope for the best or should we have the stud come here where I have another friend who is a retired breeder for giant schnausers who will be able to help except for doing an AI if needed.

Another Question, should we test both dogs for brusselousis if neither of them have ever bred before?

and just one more:
The stud is on antibiotics and prednisone will this effect his fertility?

Thanks for your help.
