The vet won't come out to me, she has always been terrified of car rides so I don't want to put her through that at the end.
She is 19 years old and has lived a great life. It is time now to let her go. She has been blind for 3 years and now is deaf. She has also been having siezures for the last couple of months now. Her quality of life is by far at the lowest it has ever been and I want her to go now while she can still feel our love.
Please if you know of any over the counter drugs that could let her pass peacefully let me know. I want serious answers only and only methods that can be confirmed either online or by calling the vet. Her vet knows what I plan to do and though he doesn't offer suggestions, he does not oppose my decision.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Ok first a lil background..Our neighbor across the street had an adult Chocolate Lab named CoCo. They never did anything with her kept her in a kennel and never had her spayed. She got loose and came over here with my males..I know she stayed with one Male..not sure about the other. My neighbor never asked for her back just told me he didnt want her anymore..So I knew there was a great chance she got pregnant..She was in heat and around my males in early Oct. I've moved her inside our clean basement out of the cold. She's very pregnant..Her nipples are sagging more and more everyday..Everyday I check them and Friday I noticed that if you squeeze her nipples milk comes out..Is she about to have the pups soon?

i know that dalmatians are born without spots and may not develop them for several weeks but i mean a fully grown adult. i also know that you can get dalmatians with patches rather than spots but that is also not what i mean. thank you very much if you can satisfy my curiosity on this subject! toodles.

Ok, i found a female dog whos obviously just had puppies. She has HUGE teats. The dog is extremely skinny, all its ribs are showing, its spine, and hip bones!!! :( The dog also shows signs that someones been fighting her. She has scares all over her face and legs. She has been very friendly to me...not violent at all.

My question what do i do now??? I dont know where her puppies are!! If i did i would take them in. Who do i call for the dog? We have a humane socitey in my city but no "Animal Cops" like you see on tv.

I have 2 dogs of my own and i dont want to put her in the backyard with my dogs.....incase shes still feeding the puppies somewhere.....What should i do!?!?

My 12 year old Rottie has very severe hip dysplaysia which causes him pain, he has practically stopped eating and looks like a skeleton with fur, his eyesight is going rapidly and often growls if he thinks he sees a stranger...though sometimes it is family or my girls, He has stopped giving cues about needing to go outside.
He has had a very rough life until we took him a year ago (was husband's brother's dog, though he couldn't be bothered)
I want him to have the very best, but think that maybe the best would be to humanely put him down before the rest of his faculties fail him.
He has been seen by the vet and the vet will not advise on the issue, just says it is our decision to make.

What would you do in this situation?
Do you agree that quality of life is more important than just living?

Thanks all for your opinions on this tough subject.

my husband started to give my chihuahua little pieces of toilet paper to eat, and she loves it. He only does it when he goes to the bathroom. I was wondering is it safe for her to be eating toilet paper? i mean she doesnt get sick or have any side effects when he does it.

Today is just her 3rd day home from the vets, she is taking 6 tablets of Florinef 0.1mg daily and also 1 tablet of Prednisolone 5mg daily. Today she has been drinking a pint of water every 3 to 4 hours. She used to drink upto 1 pint of water a day. This is a huge increase.

I just moved into my new flat, but I have to go up state for a 3 day busniess trip. I cannot afford to keep her in a boarding house so the only option is to keep her in her cage for 3 days straight. Now yes the cage is very small for the dog, (it will have only 7 inch's extra moving space, but I could leave a big pile of food in her cage and lots of water. What do you think?

People on YA Dogs ask these questions all the time ... What is the best dog food? What are the best training methods? Where can I find the best vet? What are the best dog supplies? (Etc etc etc)
Everybody wants the best for their dog. However (in my experiences), many of these folks have very poor quality dogs! Many of these dogs have temperament issues, health issues and are very bad examples of their breeds. Regardless of where a person gets a dog (shelter, breeder, rescue, et al), what advice would you offer a person who wants to obtain a dog of exceptional quality? What are some steps a person can take to avoid bringing home a poorly bred dog?

It's the 2kg Turkey and Rice puppy one, just got it yesterday and my puppy LOVES it. It's tiny 1cm big flat heart shaped peices, aww! The fact it's only 30% meat worries me though.
The ingredients are:
min 28% turkey
min 28% rice
min 18% oats

My puppy started unproductive dry heaving out of no where last night. it went on for about 20 minutes, then he was fine. An hour later he started again and just couldn't stop.

I rushed him to the ER Vet who said he had kennel cough based on the fact that 2 weeks before the first snow he played at the puppy park, then last week just graduated from intermediate dog training classes.

They didn't take x-rays of his lungs... which surprised me, but the vet was positive non-the-less. based on pushing on his tracheal and listening to his lungs.

Does kennel cough sound right? or should I take him into my vet on monday?

I always worry because I brought my bunny to the same ER and the vet she had missed that she was in kidney failure. So I worry.

Tho Kennel cough seems likely.

He eats, drinks and so far poops fine (even on the antibiotic. no diarreha yet knock on wood).

Last night he was also extremely playful. Today not so much, but that's the meds.

Opinions?

We've got two Dobermanns, one is an 18 month b*tch and the other is a ten month old dog. The b*tch is about average size, most of the other b*tches i've seen are about the same, maybe a little bit bigger. The dog on the other hand seems very small to me. He's quite chunky but just doesn't seem to be anywhere near the same height as the other dogs i've seen. I know he's still quite young but i've seen other Dobermann dogs that are younger than him and they tower over him. Does anyone know any reasons why this could be??!! Any sensible help would be appreciated, thanks.

Particularly, shoes, remotes, and video games! I know this is typical for young dogs; to add, she is kept inside while we're gone during the day because we don't have a backyard. Until we move into our new properly-equipped house, any helpful tips to train her out of chewing things that we might accidentally leave down for her?
