I have 2 husky puppies. I've had them for about 2 weeks may be 3 now. ever since we got them I noticed that they had dirrhea. we thought it's because of the change in their diet. they poop and pee in their cage and I hate to give them baths every day but I have no choice. for the past couple of days we've noticed a change in the female husky. she seems depressed, I know how can I tell? I just can, I look at her and she feels sick and sad. they're about 8 weeks old to be exact. the male husky is doing fine. he did have diarrhea and then for one day he had solid poop and then again last night I noticed that he's got diarrhea as well. we thought she might have parvo. I notice that when I let her out she shakes while eating her food and that's been going on for about 3-4 days now. she's been vomitting for 2 days, it seems like she can't digest her food, and then she has brown watery looking vomit. I have a shihtzu too and they drink and eat together. she is fine one minute and then tired
Answers:
Oh, I don't want to scare you, but that sounds very serious and I think you need to them to a vet ASAP. Puppies can become dehydrated very quickly.
Take them to the vet IMMEDIATELY as they may have the deadly PARVO!! Please hurry.do it today!
maybe your dog got at something that could be harmful.take her to a vet ASAP.THE VOMITING AND DIARRHEA COULD DEHYDRATE HER AND BE FATAL IF IT CONTINUES
the vet can help we cant do test on it sorry..
You had best get both dogs tested and then innoculated for parvo. Sounds like parvo symptoms. I've lived on a ranch and had many dogs, and parvo can run rampant if dogs aren't vaccinated. Canine Parvovirus can be passed on to older dogs that haven't had a booster. I would get on down to the vet. If not parvo, then try feeding raw meat: hamburger, organ meat, chicken, (no pork) and cheese.
Don't waste any more precious time, take them to the VET right away! You can't take any chances with puppies this young!!Good luck!
give them half a pepto bismol pill (you might have to put it in velveta cheese) and give them infamil and pedialight (use a turkey baster) till u can get to the vet. it does sound like parvo
You might want to get them tested for parvo.
Where did you Them from? Puppies should not be away from their mother before 8 weeks, and reputable breeders would not let them go before 8 weeks. If you bought them from a pet store, go to them and ask who they use for a breeder, as reputable breeders do not do not sell to pet stores, but do get puppy millers do. I would take them to a vet, and have them looked at, I would hold the pet shop liable for your bills I have listed the sign of parvo below for you. And a site for you to research
Signs of parvo,
There is a broad range in the severity of symptoms shown by dogs that are infected with parvovirus. Many adult dogs exposed to the virus show very few if any symptoms. The majority of cases are seen in dogs less than 6 months of age, with the most severe cases seen in puppies younger than 12 weeks of age. There are also significant differences in response to CPV-2 infections and vaccines among different breeds of dogs, with Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, and Labrador Retrievers being more susceptible than other breeds.
The most common form of the disease is the intestinal form known as enteritis. CPV-2 enteritis is characterized by vomiting (often severe), diarrhea, dehydration, dark or bloody feces, and in severe cases, fever and lowered white blood cell counts. Acute CPV-2 enteritis can be seen in dogs of any breed, sex, or age. The disease will progress very rapidly and death can occur as early as two days after the onset of the disease. The presence of gram negative bacteria, parasites, or other viruses can worsen the severity of the disease and slow recovery.
If I were you I'de stop wasting time asking people on here..go and see your vet ASAP! If there is something seriously wrong with your puppies get them checked out immediatly. If it is Parvo you dont want to wait.take all your pets to the vet and have them checked for Parvo, if one has it there is a high chance that all your pets will get it too.Parvo is treatable but not if you wait a long time to do anything about it. GET TO A VET!

Husky Puppies?
My female huskies are pregnant. I know everything I need to, except one thing: how many babies do huskies usually have? I'd like to know so I can get collars, tags, food, and toys since they'll be born right before Christmas!
Answers:
4-6 maybe, but they can't get tags til they get rabies shots at 6 months and collars would be a waste as they will outgrow them right away. Huskies like harnesses WAY more than collars for walking
Really it is up to the mom, did you take her to the vet and try to get an ultra-sound?
You won't need those things until they are a few weeks old. They'll drink the mother's milk until 3 weeks when you can start giving them access to very soft, blended puppy food.
Husky's will usually have about 5-8puppies.If you knew about her parents and how many were in their litters, you will have a better idea, but you should expect at least 5-8. If you take your dog to the vet they can do an x-ray to count the number of puppies in her. That would be your best bet. Good Luck.
Litter size for Huskies is 6-8. I love Sibes, are they really as crazy as people say?
dogs could only have 8- 12 ( or less) at a time
I have never seen more than 6-7 puppies with large breed dogs! Take her to the vet and get her an ultra sound, that will tell you for sure! Do you really plan on keeping all the puppies? Unless you live in the country with acreage you are allowed 3 pets max, some places allow 4! Plus you might wanna wait until their born to see the sexs! Good Luck!
take some time, say some prayers and get the doggystyle going. it will be ok
anywhere between 6-10,i think

husky favorite food?
Answers:
Husies need a high fat diet to look and feel their best. As Artic dogs, they ate meat , veggies from the contents of their kill's stomach, but mostly meat and blubber. I would feed them a high fat , high protein, good quality food, I used to give mine tallow a couple of times a week to help maintain their weight and the shine on their coat.
Dog food??
Umm Dog Food thats what my Husky use to eat
The UConn Huskies have their own brand of tortilla chips that are really good! The team logo is on the bag and everything.
My huskies favorite foods were apples, lettuce, beer and (when he could get one) martinis. He had to steal the last.
Sigh, I miss him.
I used to have a husky that was the weirdest eater I have ever had! He absolutely hated the expensive dog food (like Eukanuba, Iams, or Pedigree) or any dog food whose first ingredient wasn't "corn" or "wheat"!! Strange, huh? I finally tried Purina and he ate that well. I also gave him 1/2 a can of veggies every evening with his food, like green beans, sweet peas, carrots, %26 potatoes. He absolutely loved veggies!!
Hope this helped!
My dog is part Husky and she loves fish. I think many do, its part of their natural diet.
Husky dogs?
Has anyone got husky's as pets either from pups or as adults? As I would really like to get one but have been hearing they are very hard to train and not affectionate due to them being decendants of wolves? And is it best to get one froma pup or as an older dog? Any help would be great.
Answers:
If you are looking for a nice, social clingy dog, then the Nordic breeds like Huskies and Malamutes are not for you. It is not because they are related to wolves; all dogs are. Instead it is because these dogs are bred for working and are generally kept outdoors and not inside with the family. For this reason they are more independant than, say labs or cockers. They enjoy being part of the pack, and tolerate people well, but are not highly affectionate. They are usually high energy and need to be entertained a lot.
If you wanted the dog to be very soicial with you, then I would get a pup and try to spend every waking hour with it. If you want a good dog and admire the Nordic temperment (independant, headstrong) then an adult has the benefit of being easier to housetrain and you miss all those puppy problems of chewing and other shenanigans.
i havnt got one but my friend has and hes a lovely dog well behaved and affectionate hes 4 years old now but when he was a puppy he did chew alot but what puppy doesnt !go for it there a gorgeous looking dog too
My son has a Husky he got as a puppy, he's a really nice dog and no problems training him. Jake is a little shy around strangers, but very affectionate with his own family. Hope this helps.
if you go to adoption centers, they might have some. go to petfinder.com and look for a adoption center near you.
Hi There
I wanted to get a husky too but I also heard that they are very diffiult to train and bad for running away. I then decided on a Japanese Akita which resembles a husky and she is absolutely fanastic- I love her to bits!
Akita's are a fantastic breed, Shadow is very loyal, affectionate, great with children and other dogs. She is gorgeous looking. She is a real chilled out dog and I would highly recommend one.

Good Luck x
ALL domestic dogs are decendants of wolves
Huskies are SPITZ dogs and like all Sptiz dogs are prone to some problem behaviors. they are more moody.. they are known to be Cat killers if not well socialized
if you are an experienced person getting a pup is ok but Obedience lessons are a MUST.. if not, getting a nice, properly socialized and obedient adult is a good option.
DO NOT get one if you dont have ALOT of time.. these dogs are VERY active and need long runs daily and alot of mental games to keep them entertained
Huskies are beautiful dogs, they are very loyal and loving, they have two coats and moult once a year so its lot to clean but you need to keep brushing it. They need a lot of exercise and if they get bored tend to find a way of running away, going on bike rides with them is the type of exercise they need but not to much in the summer as they can over heat, ob through being snow dogs. A husky is a big responsibility like any dog you need to read up on it, but if you are thinking about getting a dog why not rescue one, as there are lots of dogs and puppies in need of a good home. Good luck.
Another thing if you are to get one you need to one off a good breeder as they are prone to have hip dysplasia if they have bad genes, the kennel club can put you through to good breeders and make sure they have pedigree papers.
I have Huskies - they are all warm and loving - training a husky is difficult but not impossible, it just takes persistence :) Whether a pup or an adult - they make wonderful family members :)
Good Luck to you!
I agree with Zoe but both with husky,s and akitas, you gotta have the time to put in with 'em and train 'em properly for their sake aswell as yours.
Huskies are wonderful dogs, but yes, they can be a challenge in the training area. I don't personally have one, but a few years back had considered one and had a good deal of communications with a really good breeder who showed his dogs.
He said they are a challenge in training and require persistence all the way. My suggestion is to seek out a good trainer, even before you get a dog/puppy. A good trainer will take you a long way and be able to help you with the little things that come up. We have a 5 month old Border Collie who is just finishing up her puppy kindergarten and also starting in Obedience Confirmation training class.
To find a good trainer, I would ask check with the breeder if you buy a puppy. Otherwise, contact your local Obedience Club, Agility Club, or Husky Breed Club and ask for references on trainers. We contacted our local Agility Club and that's how we found ours. She's excellent and we couldn't be happier. The advantage to going this route, as opposed to skimming the yellow pages, is that these folks take their training very seriously and will suggest trainers they have used, know and trust.
Good Luck, Huskies are a beautiful dog and a great pet. you'll just need to be really commited to the training aspect, which will make you and your new dog both happy.
Start with a puppy. Train your dog as you would a child. That way they will be good and loyal. I have had a Wolf and Husky as pets and both are remarkable breeds. It's all in how you treat and train them.
From a pup you've got to be the leader of the pack from the start.. but be cautious when they hit adolescents they're a lot like teenagers very challenging but with sharper teeth.
Huskies are wonderful dogs, they do need a lot of space though. I say if your serious about getting one make sure its a puppy because its always best to get a puppy so you can train him/her. Make sure you get your dog from a good breeder and he/she should grow up to be a well trained and affectionate dog.
Go here to read all about the breed and whether it would be right for you.
http://www.shca.org/
Talk to breeders on their breeders list. Part way down the page on that link)
They have a breed rescue as well.
Now, huskies will never set the world on fire in the AKC obedience ring - let's say they would not be my choice for a dog that I wanted to get past 1st level much less shoot for an OTCH (and I've put such titles on breeds where the consensus was "that breed doesn't do obedience work." and trained breeds to be Service Dogs to the shock of AKC show judges that a dog of that breed could do that tough and disciplined job.)
That link is the National Club for that breed that sets the breed standards and is the only club for the breed recognized and accredited by the AKC. The Clubs' websites will give you an ENORMOUS amount of information about the breed - the good, the bad, and the why or why not to get that breed. The clubs websites also have:
(1) a breeders list - all of whom have agreed to abide by the breeders code of ethics (which you can read)
(2) a link to the breed rescue for their breed
Do give serious thought to adopting from an adult from a breed rescue. The clubs' breed rescues go to a great deal of trouble to determine the dog's temperment, personality, likes and dislikes (particularly kids and cats and other dogs in the household), health, and level of training. They make a huge effort to match the right dog to the right home - and if they don't have one they think will be suitable for your home, they won't place it. Great way to avoid the puppy training, newpapers, chewing.They have dogs that are purebred and part-bred (1/2 or so of their breed.) Rescue dogs typically bond wonderfully with their new families having beed abandoned and grateful to have a new forever home.
If you decide to get a puppy so they grow up with the childen, please use one of the breeders who are members of the breed club. A well-bred pet puppy may not be a candidate for the show ring (that nose being 1/8th of an inch to long or something else very picky) but they will be very healthy, the parents carefully screened for hereditary health problems, and from a breeder who has devoted a great deal of time to understanding the breed and bloodlines. A responsible breeder will have a written contract with a health guarantee for hereditary problems; require that if for any reason you ever have to give up the dog that it comes back to them; and always be available for help, assistance and advice about your dog. Such a breeder will tell you if they don't think their breed is right for you based upon your needs. They want a perfect forever home for the puppies - not the money. (In 43 years in the dog show world, I have never known a breeder of that caliber who has made a profit on their dogs - it is labor of love.)
A puppy from such a breeder costs no more - and often less - than from a backyard breeder who doesn't do the health checks, knows nothing about the breed or bloodlines, doesn't give a guarantee, never wants to hear about the puppy again and has breed from mediocre or poor quality dogs.
IF A SERIOUS BREEDER OR RESCUE TELLS YOU THAT THE BREED IS NOT SUITED FOR YOUR SITUATION - BELIEVE THEM - NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LIKE THE WAY THE DOG LOOKS
I'm hoping that the other posts have emphasized enough that Siberians are no more closely related to wolves than any other breed.
Yes, they can be difficult to train, especially for someone who doesn't have much experience with dogs. They are independent thinkers (due to being bred to work out ahead of the human, rather than back taking direction from them), and don't dote on their people like the breeds that were bred to work closely with humans (i.e. hunting and herding dogs).
They can be destructive and noisy when bored, and MUST be fenced in or on-lead at all times. They love to run, and tend to ignore you when you call them, if something else has their interest.
What I'm saying now comes from 20 years of racing, showing, breeding, and owning Siberian Huskies. There are, however, plenty of good links on the personality of the breed:
http://www.shca.org/shcahp2b.htm.
http://www.shca.org/shcahp2a.htm.
http://www.kaylenbergsiberians.com/ready.
Please research the breed carefully. And if you decide that one is right for you, go to a responsible, ethical breeder, who offers a contract with health guarantees and performs the necessary genetic testing on their breeding dogs.
BTW -- Someone mentioned that the breed has a high incidence of Hip Dysplasia. While I value the point they were trying to make, this is not true. Due to the diligent efforts of breeders to screen their dogs, incidence of the disease is at about 2% in the breed. The big concern with Siberians is eye disease (i.e. juvenile cataracts, glaucoma, corneal dystrophy, etc.) -- all the more reason to buy from a good breeder.
Good luck!
all dogs are descendents of wolves. If raised properly huskies can be very affectionate and loving pets.
Any huskie I have known has been good and bad..like any dog,
They are prone to running away, so you need a fenced yard that they cannot dig out of. If you are in the country, watch the highways because they like to chase cars.
Huskies also see cats as another food group. Huskies in a vets office killed 2 office cats in a matter of seconds. If you get a puppy there is a better chance of training it to not kill cats.but you should never leave one alone with a cat.
They also need a LOT of exercise. If you dont, they will become destructive. They are smart dogs and need the stimulation.

Humping problems?
My chihuahua has humping problems. Everytime he gets close to my arm he starts humping it. Im worried that hell hump company. How do i make him stop humping?
Answers:
my dog did the same thing! it was so humilitiaing when she did it to company. dogs hump not only because of there hormones but because they feel like top dog. If your dog leans on you when ur standing or he is always in your face licking you push him away. it will help him learn that he can only get physical when its your idea.
My Chihuahua is the same, hes just a puppy but hes a rowdy little fella :) when he does it push him away and say a firm NO you just have to teach him to stop. Its repetitve but he will get it.
have his balls taken out! this will calm him down ALLOT! maybe buy him a fake arm;) Sure company will find him entertaining when he starts his action:P good luck
WHOOF WHOOF
I too have a chihuahua! And, he was bad for humping my In-Law's dog! Totally humiliating! Anyway, is your dog spayed/neutered? That can make a huge difference! Once we got our Chi neutered, he has stopped trying to hump anything.
My dog had that prob to but you need to push him away and say no or tap him on the nose and say firmly BAD BOY also it makes a big difference when they are spayed/neutered
you must become the pack leader, be more assertive with your
command no! and put a leash on him if needed to have more control. humping is a dominance issue, demand him to stop,
don't let him get away with it, or he wins you lose.
If your dog is not neutered get it done that can help some.
Other than that the next time he trys to hump you
remove him from you arm and raise your voice and tell him no and give him a slight swat. Let him know that in no uncertain terms are you going to tolerate this type of behavior from him.
The humping is not sexual but a dominant behavior and he wil letting you know that he is the top dog not you.
Let him know you are not going to take it anymore and that humping humans is unacceptable behavior and it should stop right quick.
Little dogs are the worst about this type of stuff.

If your dog leans on you when ur standing or he is always in your face licking you push him away. it will help him learn that he can only get physical when its your idea.
My Chihuahua is the same, hes just a puppy but hes a rowdy little fella :) when he does it push him away and say a firm NO you just have to teach him to stop. Its repetitve but he will get it.
have his balls taken out! this will calm him down ALLOT! maybe buy him a fake arm;) Sure company will find him entertaining when he starts his action:P good luck
WHOOF WHOOF
I too have a chihuahua! And, he was bad for humping my In-Law's dog! Totally humiliating! Anyway, is your dog spayed/neutered? That can make a huge difference! Once we got our Chi neutered, he has stopped trying to hump anything.
My dog had that prob to but you need to push him away and say no or tap him on the nose and say firmly BAD BOY also it makes a big difference when they are spayed/neutered
you must become the pack leader, be more assertive with your
command no! and put a leash on him if needed to have more control. humping is a dominance issue, demand him to stop,
don't let him get away with it, or he wins you lose.
If your dog is not neutered get it done that can help some.
Other than that the next time he trys to hump you
remove him from you arm and raise your voice and tell him no and give him a slight swat. Let him know that in no uncertain terms are you going to tolerate this type of behavior from him.
The humping is not sexual but a dominant behavior and he wil letting you know that he is the top dog not you.
Let him know you are not going to take it anymore and that humping humans is unacceptable behavior and it should stop right quick.
Little dogs are the worst about this type of stuff.
Humping dogs?
I have 2 male dogs. The older one constantly humps the younger and bigger dog. It is annoying and embarassing in front of friends. What can I do to stop him/them? Both of them are nuetered.
Answers:
I know we see dogs hump and immediately we are embarrassed and ashamed. Especially if it is two males.
Relax, this is not a sexual act. The older one is trying to dominate the younger one. When you have new people come in the house, the older one is probably saying to the younger, I am dominate and I get to be with the new people first.
Just tell your dog "no" when he starts humping or use the "off" command. Eventually he will learn that humping all together does not impress you. You have to be consistent and tell him no or off every time he does, whether there are other people around or not. (but I will have to say that it is better then fighting for dominance)
Good Luck and Take Care
This is a territory issue, even when they do that to humans, He is showing that he is the MAN. Scold him
oh boy yes my dogs used to embarrass the heck out of me..i used to spray water on them..or keep them apart
You have it a little better than I do. My girl dog humps my boy dog. She also lifts her leg when she pees and marks her territory. It's terribly embarrassing. When she starts humping my other dog, I yell at her.
to stop them you should take your do to a vet and see if thay can give you do a thing to stop if from humping anothe dog
This is what dogs do. Frankly, I would tell your friends to get over it. But, if you really want to stop it, tell the dog to knock it off. Get them each involved in a chew toy or something else to distract them.

Humanistic qualities and quirks?
My little Dachshund lays down and gives a big sigh when she knows she's been told no. When my brother has his bare feet out, she sniffs at them once and jumps back like they're onion scented. Little things she does makes her seem less like a dog and more like part of the family. What quirks does your dog have?
Answers:
My basset hound won't drink dirty water. Sometimes whe I fill his water bowl a few of his hairs float into it if he doesn't drink it for a while. When he is thirsty, he will walk over, look at it to see if he can see anything in it and if it looks dirty to him, he will look at me as if to say "I'm not drinking this!" He will go lay down without drinking any water and as soon as I rinse his bowl and put some fresh water in it he will drink almost the whole bowl. He also will not drink out of his bowl twice. Once he has slobbered into it, he's not touching it again. He's so funny!
Also, sometimes if he's mad at you, he will sit with his back to you and he will refuse to turn and look at you when you call him.
Another thing is that he knows where I keep his ear cleaning solution and cotton balls as well as his nail clippers. If I go into that closet for anything at all, he sits nervously tilting his neck and head to try to see as far as he can around the corner without actually getting too close and he waits to see if he needs to make a run for it.
I used to have a cocker spaniel that always seemed to have terrible gas. Whenever you would smell something and say her name, she would put her head down and walk out of the room like she was ashamed. Funny!
Our mascot, Frodo, a miniature Schnauzer mix, greets all the new dogs that come to our shelter. He walks around the shelter with them, showing them around, and often grooms the puppies and smaller dogs. When he gets scolded for anythig, he sits down, looks straight at you, and barks "rah-roo!" (as though he doesn't like the scolding). At night time, he runs into the bed room, jumps on the bed, and rolls onto his back on the best pillow he can find. and snores.
Bud, my Sheltie, does that big sigh thing when he gets into trouble, too. He rolls his eyes when my husband says it is not time for popcorn yet. When I tell him I have to get the goop out of his eyes he comes to me and holds still. He avoids the dog who visits next door because he doesn't like her rather than have to go play with her. He knows that he has to watch the granddaughters and that he has to be gentle with them. He gives big body rattling sneezes when our son visits and lights up a cigarette.
My old dog used to play hide and seek with me, and tag. He actually looked like he was laughing! We used to have so much fun. I miss him.
My Aunt and Uncle have a black Labrador that has horrible skin problems. The dog's name is Shadow and she is really sweet.
In an effort to treat the skin problems, they shave her fur off in the summer when the problem gets worse. One time the groomers botched the job and she looked really stupid. We all (my auntie, cousins, and the neighbor kids) laughed at her. She, being a dog, didn't seem affected by our not so kind words, until my uncle came home. My uncle is her absolute favorite person in all the world and usually when he comes home she is overjoyed, meets him at the door hopping around and generally letting him know she missed him.
After the disastrous hair cut, she didn't go to the door when he got home. She hid her face in the couch cushions and wouldn't look at him! He called her over, and she went to hide under the bed! She actually seemed embarrassed and ashamed of how she looked!
You think of dogs and their ability to love us and be happy, mad, sad and upset, but vanity, shame, and embarrassment is not something you usually think a dog can feel.
So, yeah, dogs are definitely part of the family, and we don't make fun of them anymore.
I'm owned by a rather neurotic border collie that doesn't know she's a dog. She gives hugs like a human, sighs like a human and even gives the worse guilt trips.
When I have to go out of town on business trips, Cali stays with my parents. My mom collects teddy bears and when she comes home from work, she'll find Cali on the stair landing with several of the bears gathered around her. She doesn't chew on them and she's extremely gentle with them. The other thing she does is get into my dad's dirty clothes hamper and leaves a trail of clothes from the door of their room, down the stairs and to her "hiding spot" under the stairs.
She has a lot of other quirky behaviors and the older she gets the weirder they get but those are the ones that really crack me up.
My Chihuahua, Guido loves to play chase in the house. I say, "I'm going to get you" and he knows its time to run as fast as he can. He loves this game. He also knows the name of the dog next door, the minute he hears this name he goes nuts, he hates him. If we talk about the dog next door we have to spell his name in order to keep Guido from going crazy.
My dog likes cold water. So we put a cube of ice in her water, and she'll happily drink it.
Out collie, Sally is nicknamed sergeant Sally because if any of our cats (we've got 6), get out of line she is onto them straight away!
One of our cats is a scaredy cat and the others know it but Sally won't let any of them touch her.
She patrols the house and if one of them tries to scratch the furniture she's there so fast to stop them.
She's never nasty with them she just lets them know she's in charge.
After every situation she has 'sorted out' she looks at us for praise and admiration!

Human vs. dog? Who will win if they fight?
Human vs.
- Poodle
- Dalmation
- German Shepperd
- Chihuahua
- Bull dog
- Any other dogs you can think off
Who will win?
Answers:
- Human
- Human
- German Shepherd
- Human (obviously)
- Bulldog
- Leonberger (Leonberger)
- Golden Retriever (Human)
- Akita (Akita)
- Maltese (Human)
- Labrador (If male - Labrador, if female - Human. Males are bigger)
- American Foxhound (American Foxhound)
depends on what kind of human fights these things, is it like a little old weak school teacher or an ultimate fighter? just an average person? I would say an average peson should be able to beat all but the german shepperd
if the human is a baby, they will definatley loose. but it really depends on the person. most people cowar at the thought of animals that attack, but i will kick any dogs .
I don't know since you didn't really specify what kind of human it is. If it's a baby, I'm pretty sure that baby will lose and so on.You didn't also say if human can have weapons or not, so it really depends.
wow.you have waaaay too much time on your hands don't you?
Pitbull or Rottweiler would give a good challenge.in theory.
Man with a loaded gun would most likely win..but thats just me.
i think the human might lose because a german sheperd and a chihuahua! But humans have brains i think he can find a way.
all depends. even an average person could fight off most AMERICAN bred GSD's. They are very flightly, they lack the know-how to use their teeth and to grip with full bites, and in general they just lack "the fight" and odds are, they would back down and run away with one swift kick or even loud shouting..
but if you're talking about an imported GSD with working lines, they have not lost any of their fight and wont back down for anything. they have full bone crushing bites, they know "where" to attack for the most sussessful take downs.
So yeah, I think a person better not piss off an imported GSD lol ESPECIALLY if they come from many many lines of Police Working Dogs, Schtz, Ring Sport and PPD's.
Do some research on american bred -vs- imported GSD's :)
note: A thoroughly well trained PPD, Schtz dog or Ring Sport dog knows when and why to bite. They will not bite unwarrented!
I'm pretty sure I could kick the s**t out of chihuahua.
well if it's a baby you have the dog would win otherwise somone older would easily break it's neck
The dog. My dad is a big guy, spent 20 years in the infantry, is trained for hand to hand combat, and was almost killed by a mixed breed dog.
Don't underestimate the strength, determination, and natural instincts that canines have.

How young is the youngest puppy St. Bernard that you can get?
Answers:
Some breeders and pet stores sell the pups at 6 weeks, but that's really too young. Their immune systems aren't developed yet, and the pups haven't begun to learn "pack manners" from their mom and siblings.
Wait until the pup is at least 8 weeks old. If you can wait a little longer (like 9 or 10 weeks old) you'll be able to see what the pup's personality is really like. Befor ethat age, most pups are just learning how to be puppies, and haven't really tried being "individuals" yet.
If you get a puppy, make sure it's had all of its shots, and has been vet checked and wormed BEFORE you adopt it. Then as soon as you get it, take it to you vet and have it checked again to make sure it's healthy.
should be no younger than 6 weeks
most good responsible breeders will not let their puppies go untill they are at least 8 weeks old. they need to stay with mom as long as they can so she can teach them,,,, I hope this helps and good luck on getting a St. Bernard puppy if you decide to get one
eight weeks, or when weaned from the mom
Any pup should be with mom for 10-12 weeks. Even after they are weaned she teaches them dog stuff.
A minimum of 6 wks but usually it's 8-12 depending on the breeder.
anywhere between 6 and 8 weeks. same with any puppy. they need to stay with their mam at least 6 weeks and be weaned before they can go to a new home.
anywhere between 6-8 weeks old, I got my saint bernard when she was five months old, and it feels like I got her when she was just a puppy, they are loving caring dogs, and they adjust well, so please don't be put off if you find a saint bernard that is a little older, you'll love them just the same!
8 weeks
There are state laws in place that determine the minimum age a puppy can be sold at. So it depends on where you live typically 6 or 8 weeks
I don't think you should ever get any kind of pup younger than 10 weeks. (Preferrably 12 weeks).
No REPUTABLE (as in "SANE"!) breeder would let ANY breed of pup leave before 8 wks %26 10 is BETTER!
You should not get a dog younger than 8 weeks old
How would you know if your dog is in Heat?
I have 4month old lab.This big gross dog a cross the street is coming up towards her all the time. She goes very nuts and barks like crazy..Yesterday, she was tied up and that male dog was licking her..She is still real small and that big dog could kill her.. Please help I know nothing about dogs going into heat.thanks
Answers:
Responsible owners spay and neuter their pets so things like this don't happen. Not only does spaying your dog decrease her chances of developing cancer or dying from an infected uterus tremendously, it prevents even more puppies from dying in shelters everyday all over the country (ESPECIALLY labs). Male dogs will do ANYTHING to get to a female in heat. Save your poor dog the trouble of all that. Get her spayed!
Keep in mind that with each heat cycle, her chances of cancer increase dramatically.
You're kidding, right? They look like they're having a period.
Well look at her crouch if its swollen shes in heat is she bleeding they will do that 2. shes a little young but i guess its possible
A dog in heat will have a swollen and bleeding vulva. PLEASE get her to a vet ASAP to be spayed. This is the best surgery you can ever have for your dog. It not only prevents unwanted pregnancies, but also stops the messy cycles, roaming males, mammary, uterine and ovarian cancers, the chance of the deadly pyometra and gives her a longer life.
Read the following: http://www.my-dog.info/getting-a-dog/thi.
They usually dont go into hear until around 8 months of age. You will definitly know when she does because she will start to bleed and be dripping blood all over the place. I would recommend getting her fixed to avoid all that.but if you dont get her fixed after about a week of bleeding you will notice that she will be very swollen and puffy back there and that is when she will start to accept the males
Four months is very young to go into heat. Dogs bleed when they are in heat. Also, they swell up in the rear end slightly. You need to have her spayed. There are too many puppies born every year, and not enough homes for them. Also, it will make your dog a better pet, and she will be healthier. Please do this for your dog. They can be spayed around 7 months of age.
she will be bleeding

How Would You Handle This Dog Issue?
Hello! I am wondering what you would do with this situation. We moved into our home about 7 months ago. The people behind us keep a dog outside. They seem to be without much money. I am concerned because it has fallen rather cold where we live and I don't think the dog has any bedding in its house. I went today and purchased some straw to give them. I have never really spoken to them, but I would feel better if I knew the dog has some warmth this winter. Should I just take it over %26 leave by the doghouse? Should I knock on the door and say I wanted to pass it on to them for their dog? I would hate to see it wasted (used for decoration, sit outside all winter, etc). I don't care honestly if they are offended.I would rather the dog be warm than worry about someone being upset with me. How would you go about this? Thanks!
Answers:
Be direct, If they love their dog they will appriciate it. If they are neglectful, maybe they'll be less so ,knowing you are keeping an eye out.
You could try leaving an anonymous letter with it voicing your concerns and leaving the hay for them?
Another suggestion would be to call your local Humaine society to investigate whether they are providing adequate housing(shelter), food, water for their dog.
Bring it over and tell them what you bought it for. If they get offended and won't take it, call animal control/thehumane society/aspca, whoever is responsible for animals in your area, and tell them that the dog doesn't have adequate shelter from the cold and let them handle it from there.
Neglect is abuse call animal control or your local police, if someone doesn't the dog will die!!
Leave it alone because even if you do the right thing the neighbors will hate U
I would contact them and just make some excuse like the bale of straw was just lying around and you thought they would like to use some for their dog.
Even say if you want that you used some for yours and this was the left over and you didn't want it going to waste. Even tell them you will help or put it in the dogs house yourself if they don't want to bother.
Whats a little fib as long as the dog is getting taken care of. And if all else fails and it comes to a life and death situation with the dog. Ask to take it from them of call the right lawful animal police.
Good luck
I would call the local Humane society and explain the situation. Apparently, the real dumb animal lives in the house.
I would take over the straw and introduce myself. Just let them know you love animals and hope they won't mind if you spoil theirs a little. Then just check on him and make sure he's okay. Ask them about allergies or anything in case you want to take him treats.
stick a blanket or sweatshirt in the dog house late at night.
if you are on good terms w/ the dogs owners maybe express your concern in passing like "is it ok for dogs to be outside in this weather? i was thinking of getting a dog but blahblah."
call the aspca if they don't do something though.
ok i would go over to them and say that u got some hay from some one and u would like to give it to there dog for the dog house and tell them that u are just trying to keep the dog warm this winter u should also start talking ot them so they dont think that u are wanting the dog sompeople think that so just go talk to them and tell them that u hada idea about sing hay to keep him warm this winter
I would knock on their door and tell them that their dog is freezing, see what they say,if they do nothing, them call Animal Protection and ask them to talk with these people.
I would tell them that I had hay left over and wanted to give it to someone who had a dog. That way they wont take it to offense.
well first give them the courtesy and inform them of your concern and then give them the straw. They shouldnt be offended, they should be ashamed for leaving the dog outside in the cold. If they dont act on it, call the humane society. People who cant take care of their dogs (or any kind of animal) should have their dogs (or animals) taken away from them. They (these people) should be left outside in the cold. this issue ticks me off so bad, sorry..
Why the heck would you you buy Straw to keep a dog warm?
Here is what I would do: take a blanket or two, knock on their door and say "I got new, don't need this old, don't want to throw it out, thought your dog might like it at night. Okay with you??
I just want to share a little bit of experience in regards to phoning the SPCA. I live in Ontario (the regulations may be different where you are or have changed since this happened) and a few years ago we had a neighbor who also left his dog outside the majority of the time. As it got colder we too became concerned. We called our local SPCA and they told us that they can not do anything if the dog is provided with some kind of shelter ie; a dog house or even just a covered area. This dog we had called about did have a covered area in his pen.
I'm not sure what happened to the dog after that. The neighbors moved a little while after. I just wanted to share that if you decide to call so that there are no surprises if that is the answer you receive from them.
It's very sad when people decide to buy a dog and then leave the poor thing outside. Dogs need human interaction or become mean and then whose fault is it really when the dog bites someone?
I have nothing to add about what you should do about the straw. All the suggestions mentioned are great answers.
Good luck!
I agree with Revansbane.
I would probably go next door and say :" Hey, I bought this straw and I don't need it afterall, can I put it in your dog's house for him?" This way, you can be sure that you are being polite, inconspicuous and the dog is getting to use the straw! Good Luck!

How would you go about cleaning a dogs ears?
Answers:
Please follow this link to a video that will show you how to clean your dogs ears properly(O:
http://www.peteducation.com/category_sum.
If in the event you do not want to watch the vidoe:
Your dog鈥檚 ear is more L-shaped than yours, and debris loves to collect at the corner of the L. To remove this debris, fill your dog鈥檚 ear canal with a good ear cleaner. Ear cleaners should be slightly acidic but should NOT sting. Massage the base of the ear for 20-30 seconds to soften and release the debris. Wipe out the loose debris and excess fluid with a cotton ball. Repeat this procedure until you see no more debris. Depending on your dog鈥檚 ear condition, you may have to start out doing this twice a day.
Cotton applicator swabs can be used to clean the inside of the earflap and the part of the ear canal you can see. They should NOT be used farther down in the ear canal since that tends to pack debris in the ear canal, rather than removing it.
Some ear problems are so painful, the dog must be anesthetized to do a good job of cleaning the ears. You may find your dog does not like to have his ears cleaned because it is uncomfortable. Talking to him during the process, stopping momentarily to give him a treat if he is doing well (we do not want to reward fussiness!) and doing something fun afterwards may all help.
After the ear is clean, let the dog shake his head and allow some time for the ears to dry. Then you can apply any ear medication that was prescribed.
Just get some over the counter cleaner.then use cotton balls and toile paper. If hes a big guy you wil have to stick your whole finger down into his ear ewwwwww but it has to be done.
don't do this yourself as you can damage the dogs inner ear also the only way the dog can let you know you are hurting it is too BITE YOU better off taking it to a vets or rspca or pdsa
Definetely do not stick your whole finger in his ear ! It is very sensitive inside, you can clean the outter ear with a cotton ball and some ear cleaner but if they are very dirty, red or inflammed it is best to bring them to your veterinarian as they may have an ear infection or ear mites.
Get some cotton wool pads and a small bowl of warm water. Wet the pad and squeeze out excess water. Gently wipe the OUTER ear and don't poke right down to the bottom of it.
Never use cotton buds. These are too harsh and often the cotton tip can come away inside the dogs ear.
Repeat on other ear then give your dog a treat so he associates ear cleaning with something nice.
how would i go about finding a Pembroke welsh korgi dog. ?
we live in a apartment, and i have 2 kids, we are wanting a small dog. any helpful tips would be great. they have school during the day, and i work 40 hours a week. only serious answers only.
Answers:
Check your local classifieds and check online classifieds. There are also sites like puppyfinder.com that may be helpful. You can always go through AKC as well.
My bf and I have a Cardigan Welsh Corgi (the one with the tail) and we absolutely love him. He is very smart, quite playful (he could chase tennis balls all day I think), and very loyal. Corgis are known for their emotional nature as well. They love to have your attention and will often speak up and get your attention if you ignore them!
Our Corgi stays home 8 hours a day and he's just fine. We also live in an apartment and he's just the right size for it. But you need to make sure you have an area where you can take him out and let him run around when you get home. They are energetic and love to run and chase things.
good question.
BAD IDEA!! VERY bad idea!!
Get a fish-tank instead!
You can't even SPELL "CORGI"! and shouldn't have ANY dog,let alone a HERDING breed! You're NOT home enough for anything more "needy" than a hampster!
DON'T DO IT!!
one way would be to place a wanted : ad on sites such as recycler.com. Another way would be to place ads in your local news papers yet another way would be to inquire about it at your local pet-shops. Good luck in your search.
We have 2, they are awesome dogs.
One we bought from a pet store about $750.
The other we found at the SPCA, there were 2, we wanted to save both of them, we went as soon as we saw them in the paper, we only got one of them though.
There are people that raise them, but if you wanted to buy one directly from them, it will probably cost more than the pet store because the ones that they give to the pet store aren't perfect. (we consider both of ours perfect though :) ), but not perfect is by breeder standards.
The one we got from the pet store's nose wasn't fully black, part is white, so she didn't keep him for breeding.
check your local classifieds! My family has Corgi's, they are active dogs. you might want to look into something smaller.Also check out
Petfinder.com
if you look up dog shows it will give pedegrees association it should also tell when there is a dog show in your area.If you attend one of the shows it is a great way to see all different breeds and to ask questions to the handlers like the best breed to have in an apartment and great with kids.A golden retreiver is a bigger breed but great with kids and very sweet so are boxers.a corgi is a cute breed but try looking it up under pedegrees and you should find out more about that breed .You could also look up dog handlers and it should give lists of handlers around the world.They usually breed dogs as well as handle them.You will be able to get list of handlers that only handle corgi welsh as there main breed.good luck n i hope i was a help
go to yahoo search and type in "corgi puppies for sale" it will take to all kinds of web sites
Due to the schedule, I would adopt one that is at least one year old and already house broken and crate trained. Go to petfinder.com and also do a Google search for Welsh Corgi Rescue.

How would an older cat deal with a new puppy?
My family is considering getting a puppy. But we have a 10 year old cat who has been the only pet for almost all of his life. Do you think the 2 pets would get along? Would the cat just be miserable? Any information would be helpful.
Answers:
hello there,
I have three full grown cats and just brought a puppy in. Some people say you should seperate them for awhile but I dont believe in that because then they dog gets more curious and might do more damage then if you just let nature take its course.
When I brought mine in I kept in on a leash for a week with the cats inside the house
1. so he wouldnt chase the cats
2. its easier to potty train that way to till he gets use to his new surroundings.
I never forced the animals together. I let the cats come around in their own time. My first two cats wouldnt come around the first 24 hrs. But when the cats saw they could get close to the pup and he wouldnt chase them they would come over and sniff him and I would let the pup sniff them. I let that go on about three days. I took him off the chain then but when I saw him chasing the cat I would swat his behindh or nose with a newspaper not very hard and tell him bad boy. I dont want him chasing my cats at all .
They are getting along great now. Now when he gets into a playful mood he will get to them once inwhile but the cats can defend themselves. All it takes is the pup to get to close to the cat and the cat gets him with his claws on his nose. It might take a couple of times but the pup will learn to respect the cat.
I have always brought dogs in with cats and its just the first three days or so that are the worst but in the end they live in harmony together.
it might treat it as if it was a kitten
unless he enjoys playing with dogs he may not be too happy, but he will be fine, just be sure to pay attention to both pets if you decide to get a puppy, when we first got our puppy (my pic) my boyfriend had a 12 year old cat, he was not very happy at all but they both learned neither was goin anywhere and they both got their attention and they are both happy
We got a new puppy after having two cats for a year. They get along just fine, except for when the dog gets in their faces. He's only curious and only wants to play, but as long you keep an eye on the dog and cat when they're together, things should be fine, especially if he's little. He might get hissed at, but if he/she does, just pick them up and move them. Or pop them once lightly on the nose and tell them 'no' firmly and he'll never bother the cat again.
I've seen some pretty funny stuff. My aunt brought a puppy home and her cat chased it around the house all afternoon. After that she wapped him up side the head, then began to clean him like it was her kitten. advice- try to get a puppy that hasent teathed yet. Introducing a teathing puppy to a cat could be a little difficult.
The worst that the cat could do is scare the puppy. its been 3 years and my cat still rules the roost in my home.
the cat will be scared at first, after awhile she will come closer to you and watch the puppy a lot.Just as long as you keep padding the cat, an paying attention, she won't take off. Just give the cat as much love as you give the puppy.Don't be surprise they might eat from the same dish.

How would a vet neuder (sp?) an aggressive dog?
I know a vet can do it b/c i keep being told to neuder him but I was just wondering how the vet would do that if he is aggressive.
Answers:
Vets and their staff have alot of experience in handling aggressive dogs and your dog will be fine--PLEASE do take him in and have him neutered ITS best for him
Well, the dog would be under anesthesia during the operation so it would not be a problem except when you take him in, the vet may want to muzzle him.
The dog is put under general anesthesia for the procedure and doesn't even know what's happening when this is done.
The term is NEUTER. And yes, get your dog neutered, and go to dog school with him.
The dog is awash in male hormones - and those hormones contribute to aggressivness.
Neutering and good TRAINING with a dog trainer will do both you and your dog a world of good.
A "Canine Bootcamp" at a local boarding and training kennel will also help your dog learn manners and be a good citizen. The bootcamp trainers also work with the owners as well.
vets know how to handle all kinds of pets. take it there and don't worry.
Well first the Vet would give your give your dog a sedative so the Vet would do his work with out causing your dog too much pain or stress.
Vets have ways of giving animals shots to get them anesthetised for surgery even in they are in pens. They'd probably use a long stick with a needle on the end to get the dog under, then prep it for surgery.
yes.the dog would be given a sedative so he "sleeps"thru the procedure
Two words: Tranquilizer gun.
what i had to do was go in with my dog, so he would stay calm, and help them with the shot. once the vaceen is in, you can say good by and he will be in good hands.
they would probably have the family muzzle him before the neuter surgery. At which point they'd give him an anaestetic to make him sleep while they perform the surgery. And then as he wakes up put the muzzle back on.
Standard procedure at our clinic.
The dog would probably be given a sedative by needle while muzzled then once sedated the vet would administer anesthesia. After the dog is neutered it takes a period of time before the hormones settle and the dog loses some of its aggressiveness. However, just because a dog is neutered does not mean it will lose all of it's aggressiveness you should consider a good Obedience Class as well. Here the dog will learn socialization as well as basic training.
the dog would have to be muzzled prior to surgery so the vet can put the dog under safely. most vets muzzle all dogs that they perform surgery on. it's a strange place and strange ppl and strange noises.dogs get nervous, even the sweetest dog can snip at someone if scared *fight or flight instinct* vets understand this.so working w/ an aggressive dog is par for the course w/ a vet.
of course the OWNER would probably need to muzzle the dog since they would be in the best position to get the muzzle on the dog w/out biting.
once the teeth factor is under control, it's just a shot away from getting fixed.
First of all the vet techs do a lot of the taking out and putting the dog back into a cage. Often if the dog is very aggressive or nervous, just like with people they can give a pre-anesthesia type medication, like Valium. Then the dog is easier to handle. Once the dog is under that the put an I.V. line in, Little more med. and then the general anesthesia. Most dogs are great and have no problems. It may help your guy be a little less aggressive, too. Good Luck
he would get muzzled and given a shot to put him to sleep while the surgery is performed.
Well, with my dog, they gave me some pills the day before to crush up and mix in his food. The pills made him drowsy and less aggressive, making it easier for the vets to put him under anesthesia. You should go in before you schedule the date to neuder him. The vets will give you more advice or other alternatives, as they did with me.
The vet will have you bring him in Muzzled. When he puts him under to do the procedure he will not have to worry about his teeth! He will probably keep the muzzle on him or put it back on before he is fully out of the sedation.
same way they neuter a dog that is not aggressive.
There are ways to sedate an animal first, and I'm sure yours is not the first one they have ever done. Remember the dog is totally asleep--with gas while they do the neuter and wakes up with no idea of what happened.
same as evry other dog
First they would have you muzzle him, then he will be sedated followed by anestisia. Certain body parts are then surgically removed. After he wakes up, they'll have you go into the hospital and take him from the cage yourself (or something close to that). Don't expect that to make him less aggressive, though. It often works but not always. Be sure to obedience train him afterwards - it won't cure aggression but it helps you control him.
neuter %26 they would put him under anesthesia
Give me a knife, I`ll do it, 19.99
uh. wow
the knock the animal out, aggression is not a problem.
Spelling is neuTer.
Your puppy will be just fine, and rest assured that he won't rip the vet's arm off.
He would be muzzled and tranqulized so that he may be handled easily for the procedure.
When they take the dog from you they will take him to the back out of the room .. and they will put a muzzle on him or if SX is later in the day they will leave a leash on him and at time of SX they will mussel him and give him val/Kat it is a drug to take off the edge ALOT then they will but the mask on him to knock him out then a tube in the mouth for a mix of oxygen and gas
if the dog is aggressive then he would be muzzled until a general anesethia is given, he will be really drowzy and will eventually be out like a light, it is usually given in a shot. After he is out the neutering only takes about 5 mins or so and it is done. (they don't actually take off the testicles they just take out the sac of semen)
you may have to mussel the dog, the vet will give him a sedative and before he wakes up the whole thing is over
Vets have ways with dealing with any dog or cat that comes in!
Do not worry! Just get it done!!
Depending on how aggressive the dog, if it gets nervous and bites or just plain bites you'll have to muzzle it, then the vet will give a general anesthesia and perform the surgery. The dog will wake up not knowing what happened while it was sleeping, but will probably figure it out later and look at you as if it has a grudge, but it will most likely be okay with you after a while.
He will put a muzzle on the dog an put him to sleep an he willdo the surgury

Vets have ways of giving animals shots to get them anesthetised for surgery even in they are in pens. They'd probably use a long stick with a needle on the end to get the dog under, then prep it for surgery.
yes.the dog would be given a sedative so he "sleeps"thru the procedure
Two words: Tranquilizer gun.
what i had to do was go in with my dog, so he would stay calm, and help them with the shot. once the vaceen is in, you can say good by and he will be in good hands.
they would probably have the family muzzle him before the neuter surgery. At which point they'd give him an anaestetic to make him sleep while they perform the surgery. And then as he wakes up put the muzzle back on.
Standard procedure at our clinic.
The dog would probably be given a sedative by needle while muzzled then once sedated the vet would administer anesthesia. After the dog is neutered it takes a period of time before the hormones settle and the dog loses some of its aggressiveness. However, just because a dog is neutered does not mean it will lose all of it's aggressiveness you should consider a good Obedience Class as well. Here the dog will learn socialization as well as basic training.
the dog would have to be muzzled prior to surgery so the vet can put the dog under safely. most vets muzzle all dogs that they perform surgery on. it's a strange place and strange ppl and strange noises.dogs get nervous, even the sweetest dog can snip at someone if scared *fight or flight instinct* vets understand this.so working w/ an aggressive dog is par for the course w/ a vet.
of course the OWNER would probably need to muzzle the dog since they would be in the best position to get the muzzle on the dog w/out biting.
once the teeth factor is under control, it's just a shot away from getting fixed.
First of all the vet techs do a lot of the taking out and putting the dog back into a cage. Often if the dog is very aggressive or nervous, just like with people they can give a pre-anesthesia type medication, like Valium. Then the dog is easier to handle. Once the dog is under that the put an I.V. line in, Little more med. and then the general anesthesia. Most dogs are great and have no problems. It may help your guy be a little less aggressive, too. Good Luck
he would get muzzled and given a shot to put him to sleep while the surgery is performed.
Well, with my dog, they gave me some pills the day before to crush up and mix in his food. The pills made him drowsy and less aggressive, making it easier for the vets to put him under anesthesia. You should go in before you schedule the date to neuder him. The vets will give you more advice or other alternatives, as they did with me.
The vet will have you bring him in Muzzled. When he puts him under to do the procedure he will not have to worry about his teeth! He will probably keep the muzzle on him or put it back on before he is fully out of the sedation.
same way they neuter a dog that is not aggressive.
There are ways to sedate an animal first, and I'm sure yours is not the first one they have ever done. Remember the dog is totally asleep--with gas while they do the neuter and wakes up with no idea of what happened.
same as evry other dog
First they would have you muzzle him, then he will be sedated followed by anestisia. Certain body parts are then surgically removed. After he wakes up, they'll have you go into the hospital and take him from the cage yourself (or something close to that). Don't expect that to make him less aggressive, though. It often works but not always. Be sure to obedience train him afterwards - it won't cure aggression but it helps you control him.
neuter %26 they would put him under anesthesia
Give me a knife, I`ll do it, 19.99
uh. wow
the knock the animal out, aggression is not a problem.
Spelling is neuTer.
Your puppy will be just fine, and rest assured that he won't rip the vet's arm off.
He would be muzzled and tranqulized so that he may be handled easily for the procedure.
When they take the dog from you they will take him to the back out of the room .. and they will put a muzzle on him or if SX is later in the day they will leave a leash on him and at time of SX they will mussel him and give him val/Kat it is a drug to take off the edge ALOT then they will but the mask on him to knock him out then a tube in the mouth for a mix of oxygen and gas
if the dog is aggressive then he would be muzzled until a general anesethia is given, he will be really drowzy and will eventually be out like a light, it is usually given in a shot. After he is out the neutering only takes about 5 mins or so and it is done. (they don't actually take off the testicles they just take out the sac of semen)
you may have to mussel the dog, the vet will give him a sedative and before he wakes up the whole thing is over
Vets have ways with dealing with any dog or cat that comes in!
Do not worry! Just get it done!!
Depending on how aggressive the dog, if it gets nervous and bites or just plain bites you'll have to muzzle it, then the vet will give a general anesthesia and perform the surgery. The dog will wake up not knowing what happened while it was sleeping, but will probably figure it out later and look at you as if it has a grudge, but it will most likely be okay with you after a while.
He will put a muzzle on the dog an put him to sleep an he willdo the surgury
How would a PitBull Dog fair in the wild?
Do they have enough bite to handle life in the jungle? I see pitbulls surviving the same way a pack of hyena would. Do you agree?
Answers:
Well Pit Bulls aren't bred for "jungle" life. I think they'd still do ok, but they'd fare better in other wild settings.
I don't think they behave like hyenas, not the same cooperation when necessary.
Anyway, that's opinion. I don't have any experience w/ jungles or hyenas.
Any dog if left is capable of surviving in its own if prey is available, as they were once wild they will revert.
I hope this is a rhetorical question !
Poorly. A pitbull likely wouldn't tolerate another dog in his pack. And those guys in the helicopters, they can shoot amazingly well. Domestic dogs running wild get dead, usually in a slow painful manner. If you don't want to keep your dog, give it up or put it down.
it would do fine. nutrition would suffer
In the jungle?!?! I have a feeling that a Pit Bull is no match for a tiger or gorilla.
i have a pit and i know he wouldn't make it the jungle, he barely survives the back yard, he's a bit spoiled ok he's a very spoiled, but loved dearly.

can anyone tell me what to feed, what to do on taking care of my 2 month old puppy. its my first time to take care o 2month old and a japanese spitz. i do not know how to take care of it. please help me. thank you.
Answers:
=you should have asked all of this before you bought the puppy home. Call the breeder or the pet store and ask for specifics if any on this breed. Basically all puppies need food, shelter, water and lots of love and affection.
All puppies are the same as far as care, so get it some puppy food, treats, toys, collar, leash, possibly a crate or cage. Make sure you take it to the vet for all of its shots. they have to have a total of 4 puppy shots. then the rabies shot. then they recommend spaying/neutering at 6 months. start potty training by taking out at least once an hour. good luck.
tack it out side feed it and play with it thats bout it if it wont eat get a bottle and put milk in it thats what i would od and tack it out a lot they will peee every were they can coz they dont kwno what to do yet so just be carful were u stepp lol goo dluck

how will I know when its time to euthanize my dog?
Answers:
i have an 11 year old rot,german shepard mix, and i have often wondered the same thing.she still seems happy..eats good..i can tell it is starting to hurt her to get up..i am just going to wait until i can tell she doesn't get much enjoyment from life.that's what you should do.i don't care what anyone says you can tell when your dog is smiling..when they quit smiling its time.
Your dog will let you know when the time has come. You will feel the time approaching when your dog isn't enjoying the quality of life that he had before. Some signs might be lack of appetite, inability to get outside to potty, or just being in pain. Honestly, when you look into their eyes you just know in your heart. I've lost two pets this past summer, so I understand and I'm sorry you have to go through this.
When you look into his eyes and the will to live is gone.
when they stop eating and lose the will to live.
We have had to euthanize three dogs.
The first had been bitten in her backbone behind her neck by another dog. She lost the use of her hindquarters and was in pain, so we had her put to sleep.
The second was an 18 year old pet who had become blind, deaf, lame, and incontinent. She could no longer leave her crate to ask to go outside. Although otherwise healthy, her quality of life had diminished severely, she did not want to eat, and we had to travel out of the country. The kennel would not take her, so we put her to sleep.
Our third dog developed cancer in her shoulder at age 7. After surgery, the malignancy reoccured and she declined very rapidly, no longer eating or drinking and unable to ask to go outside. After she was euthanized we buried her in the yard under a flowering dogwood tree.
In general, take into account the dog's age, condition, quality of life, and the extra care and expense you and your family must commit to caring for a debilitated pet.
You will know when the time is right-as will your pet.You have to look at the quality of life for the pet.Is it suffering?Is it enjoying life anymore?If the answers are no-then it is the right time.It is very difficult to do.
I had my rotty/german shep mix put to sleep 3 years ago and it was very difficult for me to do.I could see in his eyes that he was sad and not enjoying life anymore and that helped me make the decision to let go.He wasnt walking anymore,and I needed to help him up to go out to go potty-he just wasnt happy.
His happiness should be your main concern.
I think you should ask your vet. Usually, they can give you an honest idea about the dog's condition and his/her prognosis. A vet can look at the situation from a medical standpoint and help you make this decision.
Whei its all f*cked up
Make a list of five things your dog just lives for (i.e. treats, playing fetch, going for walks, etc.) When you see the desire for those things drop off, it's time.
When he is in pain and can't be fixed up.
How will 2 black labs adjust to living conditions if we move from California to Alaska?
The dogs are indoor/outdoor dogs who currently live in the valley of N. California. They're usually indoors except when we're at work.
Answers:
We've brought our lab up from Seattle and she LOVED it. Snow to run in, roll in. She learned how to pounce had on 1/2" ice so she could go swimming in Nov and early Dec. Lots of moose and squirrel smells to follow, vole trails to dig through at the base of the snow.
There are lots of labs in Alaska because they are good outdoor dogs, good in cold weather, great in cold water. I wouldn't leave one at -30F unless they'd seen a lot -15F already and had a good dog house.
Our was always slept at the foot of our bed at night but loved to play outside down to about -15F.
Plan on doing a little aversion training for the moose - you want a really solid "Leave it." command in May when they drop calves - they get kind of hornery then. Maybe borrow a shock collar for two weeks. Ours learned that all moose at electrified after a few times we set her up and never had a problem after that. (Yeah, I didn't like shocking our dog, but it seems so much better than getting stomped).
I like a dog door with a cover. So you can easily close it is there is a moose or porcupine in the yard.
I wouldn't leave the dogs outside. You need to let them be indoor dogs, or leave them behind when you move to Alaska.
Buy a dog house.
Your're talking to an Alaskan! Let me tell you that Labs, especially black ones are one of the largest breeds up here. They are feild trial dogs and as you know a lot of hunting goes on in these parts. Your dogs will love you rip around in the snow. We have like 8 dog parks, doggie day cares, some pretty good vets to choose from. Alaska is a dog friendly state. All the coffee shops hand out dog bones to all the fur-buddies when you get your morning coffee. They will love it, I am not sure you will if you don't like snow %26 cold.
Your dog should not be housed outside, only for potty breaks adn play time.
well when your not there in the day time maybe you could get a crate for them and put them in there during the day until you get home or get a dog house thats realy warm for in the daytime outside. they should adjust ok. they may not like it at first
Alaska is a bit chilly compared to your current climate. I'd say you probably won't want to be leaving them out up in Alaska when you're off to work, but rather provide a warm place in the garage at least if you can't or won't allow them in your home when away.
As for the temps for regular potty outs, they should be fine. They might get the job done quicker when it's chilly tho!
Yes, they will adjust! Plus since you have two, they will keep each other company.Dogs are pretty much cool about moving.Especially if you take them for drives often.Good luck to your move to beautiful Alaska!
I'm sure your dogs could adjust to living anywhere, as long as they are with you!
You will probably put doggie jackets on them in the winter, but here's what you should do that you probably won't. PUT BOOTIES on them! They are not huskies and their feet will be very cold. they are available and you should put booties on them.
when thay go out put coat and boots on the there paws,It well take them awhile to ajust to the cold,but thay will.
dogs in general are very resiliant creatures, some have even been known to survive weeks in the snow, when they are accustomed to being indoors. to be safe though, make sure you watch your dogs for the first couple weeks, and if their behaviors change at all, take them indoors for a couple days.it may take them a month or 2 to get used to the climate change
Dogs will do OK, there is quite a large Lab community in AK, and some great field trial clubs if you are into running your dogs.
my dog went from washington state to california and he was fine. just maybe think about shortening or shaving hair

How well is Banfield Pet hospital inside of Petsmart?
just curious
Answers:
Each one is only as good as the Doctors that are working there. Like a chain hair salon.. You'll find good employees, and bad employees.
I would ask how long the Doctor(s) have been practicing, what their specialties are, etc.
ummm well
A little expensive with the plans but they are helpful. Though they have set us up a few times telling us that my dog should take this 'special medicine' with her food to help with her coat and it ended up doing nothing.
But for the most part they're really good.
In my experience ..they are just as good as a Banfield outside of a Petsmart ..the only problem is their hours, unlike a normal Banfield they are not open as much and go by the store hours mostly.
I'd say their expensive treatments ..are worth it, as how they care for your pet is far better than how another pet hospital may treat the pet.
Always look for how comfortable your pet is with them and if they try to make it easy for you and your pet to visit :)
I swear by the one we use here in CO.!
We also carry their pet insurance on my Grand dog.Like $19.95 a month! Its paid for itself just in the spaying of her.Not including IE: Shots, RXs, too numerous benefits to mention! I feel we have gotten better care at Banfield than at previous animal hospital/veterinarian we used for 20+ years!
We've also used Petsmart's training.In CO. ONLY training school we found that would accept an APBT!
Shes also a certified companion dog.Hence: Main reason for having medical insurance on her!
prob just as good as any vet..

How true is it that solid white pit bulls are blind and or hearing impared?
I have a 4 month solid white (or albino) pit bull and i read a few websites that were about dogs in general and said that most "white dogs" have hearing problems or are blind it that true?
Answers:
Albino means no pigment at all., Mostly pink where she would normally have black.
alot of pure white or albino animals are deaf. I have never heard of the blind thing. Most but not all. if she can hear you she obviously is not deaf and if she See's you then she is not blind. I would worry more about cancer. White dogs cannot be in the sun alot because they are just like us, they burn and can develop cancer. So just be a good owner and make sure you socialize her alot. it is enough that she is a Pitbull so do not encourage aggression or want her to be that way. I own a Pitbull so believe me when I say that socialization is important and obedience. People will judge her because she is a Pitbull so you have to be a good example for them all.
Good Luck
It's true, eye and hearing problems are linked to the white gene. Doesn't mean your dog is definitely blind or deaf, just that it had a strong chance of it. Same with ferrets with a blaze on their forehead (most likely deaf).
No, I wouldn't call her albino. If she was albino then her skin would be very sensitive to light and you would know it.
I've never heard of that, and I have a pit and before I got her, I did a lot of research on them, and I never saw anything like that on any website that I checked out.
it is true.i have a friend that owns 2 albino dogs.one of them is a great dane and the other is a boxer.not do they only have blindness or deafness.but they also have some health problems.not that i am saying that your dog will have some health problems but what pet doesnt..but most albino dogs indeed are deaf and or blind.hope i helped you.good luck.
The gene for white or blue eyed dogs and cats are linked,to deaf ness, several breeds. not just pits.(It is a heredity defect) Also some colored dogs can be born deaf as well.--Dosen't mean your dog is deaf or blind--You should be able to tell by her actions weather she can hear and see.
There's a difference between having a white dog and having an albino dog. Albino dogs lack pigment which means that their noses are pink, paw pads are pink, etc. Their eyes are usually a pale blue. These dogs do have definite problems with blindness and/or deafness.
But what it sounds like to me is that you have a white dog, not an albino one so I seriously doubt that your dog will have these problems (unless it does indeed lack the pigments),
My pit bull, "Mystic" her father was true albino and he ALWAYS sunburned and he did have trouble seeing on bright clear days. The vet told us that the red eyes had the pigment deficency and if he was out in the bright sun that yes, he would go blind
This is true with dogs and cats. But not all are.

How to you get tear stains off Poodles eyes? I have tried Clear eyes from the pet store but it hasn't worked
Answers:
From Linda Coleman - Lin Lee Maltese: " I use the waterless blue shampoo all the time to refresh the coat between baths. I highly recommend it for cleaning urine stain as well as keeping the face clean. Apply to the face with a cosmetic pad, making sure it doesn't get in the eyes. Follow with cornstarch to dry and carefully comb out excess cornstarch. You will notice a difference in a couple of weeks. This not only cleans, but "whitens" too!
I purchase the waterless shampoo from one of the major suppliers. I am not aware if it is sold in the pet stores, but perhaps they can order it for you. Bio Groom is the name of the one I use."
milk
try giving your dog distilled water only this was advice I got from a breeder I am not sure why maybe the sodium in water causes the stains its pretty common though !
Use a warm washcloth and rub it gentle across the tear stain(s). all clear eyes is going to do is help him/her see it's not going to get rid of the stain(s) what so ever.
Ever wake up in the morning and have eye burgers. A warm wash cloth placed over the eye area will moisten them each morning and you make it a routine for your poodle.
I suppose what I am trying to say is wash the poodles face every morning with a warm wash cloth and in the evening if the build up is more flowing.
Keep the face clean and the tear stains are gone for ever and moreso wash the face to get rid of the tear stains. If you like you can try a tidbit of Johnsons baby shampoo on a warm wash cloth until the stain goes away and then just wash the face each morning as I said previously
i use o mixture of 2 parts water to one part hydrogen peroxide. rub litely on the stains then shampoo as usual with a whitening shampoo for dogs. works great on my chihuahua and my sisters poodle!! always be careful not to get the mixture or the shampoo in their eyes even if it says tearless.
Believe it or not. Contact lens cleaner. Make sure you get Saline based.
how to use antibacterial soap on a wounded puppy?
i have a 4 day old puppy and it has a hole in his chest from where his mother bit him, i am currently taking care of him by bottlefeeding him and stuff, he has stitches on other parts of his body also, the vet was too scared to stitch up the hole in his chest because she didn't know how deep it was, and now it stinks and its like a brown color, and his stitches on his back is oozing pus, i called the vet and she said to use antibacterial soap on his wounds.
my question is this
i bought dial antibacterial hand soap for him -- is that what the vet wanted me to buy?
and now im not sure how to apply it, can some1 tell me step by step what im supposed to do?
Answers:
You are doing very well to have kept this puppy alive this long! Good for You..you should be a nurse!
Yes, dial will be fine..Just get a bowl of very warm water, and let the soap soak in the water for just a minute, them rub the soap to make soapy water..then dip a washcloth in that, squeeze it out a little, and wash the wound gently..
I think what she meant was betadyne soap, so perhaps you can find it tomorrow, at any big grocery or drug store..If the vet is not too far from you, I bet they would give you a little betadyne..
that puppy is a fighter! I hope you can save it..
just soap up a washcloth and gently wipe the area and rinse well. she should have put this puppy on antibiotics but it may die, so don't get too attached. sounds like you both are inexperienced moms.good luck
dont worry okay im not a specialist but id think it would be with a finger or a soft sponge and then put water on low and rinse why is this puppy so wounded?
Your vet should have explained things more clearly to you. Call the vet asap and ask for more specific directions. And good luck with your little one - hope he recovers soon!
I think the kindest thing that you can do for this baby is let him go. Take him to the vet and let them put him to sleep. At 4 days he doesn't even have an immune system. And mothers often know and try to kill offspring that aren't going to make it. I know it's hard but that unfortunately is a responsibility you take on when you decide to bring life into the world.
What ever you do, do it gently, calmly and with as much love and affection as you can muster. Make sure that the soft, clean gauze or cloth that you are using is warm and use a tiny amount of soap. (It's easier to get off.)
Have you used hydrogen peroxide? It comes in a brown bottle and can be bought in any grocery, mini-mart or drug store? This is what we usually use on animals with injuries like the one you described.
I found a tiny kitten someone had thrown out of a car into the ditch in front of my house. It had a wound like you wrote about. I kept pouring hydrogen peroxide into it and gently pushing the area around it to encourage the infection to come out. I have a weak stomach. I would do this and vomit. But the kitten survived.
Hydrogen Peroxide does not have to be rinsed off. Keep the puppy warm.
First, I'd be finding me another vet!! Second, put the soap on a soft, warm, wet, washcloth. Be very gentle on the wounds and stitches. Go to your local drug store and get some triple antibiotic cream. It will be on the shelf in the first aide section. Put small amounts on each wound and gently rub some in. Make sure the puppy get plenty of water. Children's pedi-a-lite is great.
I echo the congrats that you are keeping the pup alive.
Please go back to a vet (maybe not the one you have already been to) and get another set of (stronger) anti-biotics. The wounds on the pup's back are unable to drain so you will need to wash the area with GENTLE pressure to help get the pus out.
I would use a betadine solution to wash the areas where the injuries are. It is iodine, wont cause any pain, and a broad spectrum anti septic. I have used it on any of my animals with injuries and it works a treat.
Good luck with the pup and I hope you will keep the little fighter, if you can.
My thoughts are with you and the pup.
I would suggest you take him to a different vet since he is sooo young.
I wouldn't have thought an antibactierial soap would be very good. Whenever my dogs have hurt themselves we use a little iodine solution to clean the wound, applied with cottonwool.
my question is this
i bought dial antibacterial hand soap for him -- is that what the vet wanted me to buy?
and now im not sure how to apply it, can some1 tell me step by step what im supposed to do?
Answers:
You are doing very well to have kept this puppy alive this long! Good for You..you should be a nurse!
Yes, dial will be fine..Just get a bowl of very warm water, and let the soap soak in the water for just a minute, them rub the soap to make soapy water..then dip a washcloth in that, squeeze it out a little, and wash the wound gently..
I think what she meant was betadyne soap, so perhaps you can find it tomorrow, at any big grocery or drug store..If the vet is not too far from you, I bet they would give you a little betadyne..
that puppy is a fighter! I hope you can save it..

how to trim a small dogs nails?
this is a boston terrier
Answers:
You should never use human's nail clippers on a dog. It can can put a lot of pressure on your dog's toenail before it actually cuts through the nail. If this happens your dog may feel an uncomfortable pinching sensation. This is because the vein in the toenail is being squeezed.
If your pup has black nails, it might be easier to take him or her to Petsmart and have it done there. This way you don't have worry about cutting too far back and cutting the quick, which can be painful for your dog. Just clip a tiny bit off at at a time. It's better to cut off less than too much.
Hi, you can buy a special nail clipper for small dogs/cats or use a human nail clipper, just be careful not to trim too far down. If you want just trim the very tiniest tip off.
I have a pom and we bought dog nail clippers..also can use regular nail clippers like what u would use
take the dog to the vet.good luck!!
It can be tricky especially if they have black or dark nails. You would better off taking the dog to a groomer or a vet and have them show you the correct way. It really isn't difficult, but if you don't know and cut the quick that can be very painful to your dog and may cause trouble for future trimmings. Good Luck KG
Very carefully!
go to the store and buy nail clippers made for dogs. Then try ton get your dog used to seeing them and when you do cut them don't cut the vein!(the red part on the nail)
I take my puppers to the vet. It's better that way.
Take them to PetSmart or your vet and let them do it.
LOL!!
Just like any OTHER dog!
Behind their back-like a HORSE! so you can CLAMP them close w/your arm .

How to trian a boxer puppy?
both commands and crate training.
Answers:
It takes a lot of time and patience, but luckily Boxers are very intelligent. Consistency is the main key to training. Continue to use the same word for the same thing, never change the command word, this only confuses the pup. Repitition is also key. Work with your pup for atleast 30 minutes a day. Use really good treats (make sure they are small treats, not ones the pup has to stop and chew forever), and use lots %26 lots of praise. You can never give too much praise. Boxers are very willing to please their masters, so if you show your pup how pleased you are, he will try to continue to keep you pleased. You can enroll you and your pup in a dog obedience class, like at Petsmart. You could buy a book, which is helpful if you like to read.
Hope this helps and good luck!!
Buy a book. lol
Just like any other puppy :0)
I started training when I was 7 or so (not going to tell you my age but oldest kid is 16 lol), giving you my thoughts would take up the whole page..
If you are going to go to a class on puppy training make sure the instructor is someone who you and the dog likes (I have seen some really bad instructors!!).
Read up on basic commands. You do not no what to do so your puppy will not know, always remember if you make it fun and classes short it will be more fun for the both of you. Always praise. Never hit even with a newspaper. You will have to think before you start do you want to praise with food or love (remember food can be so much easier for someone to steel your pup). Write down how you are going to train first then get used to how you are going to train. Then you are more secure with what you have to do.
This puppy does not no English yet (or whatever language you speak), barely knows dog language! Signing if you want to do this will have to be learned by you first, then you can teach your puppy. Time, give yourself and your puppy time..
Crate training is pretty easy. Put all the puppy's toys, blankets, food (I keep water out of crate until you have to put it in, a wet crate is rather uncomfy). When puppy wants something puppy will have to go into crate to get it. When picking up toys they go back in crate. Hopefully you bought a big enough crate for puppy when big?
When pup is used to going in crate to get toys etc. practice by shutting door. Don't lock it right off the bat. Puppy will get used to crate door being shut. After a while start shutting and locking crate door, not for long. Then longer, longer you got it. Nothing is fast might take a while but soon you will have a crate trained puppy.
One of my sisters used to raise boxers. They are great dogs! Very active! If you want a Frisbee dog or a tennis ball dog. Get the ball or Frisbee add it into the toys your puppy has in crate. Frisbees are cool for they make great waterer's when at the park and puppy needs drink. Start playing with the ball of Frisbee with pup. It gets lots of energy out of puppy and when bigger this will give your boxer a fun game to play at park.
I have even fed puppy's in Frisbees and balls and had them sleep with the Frisbee and/or ball. Then they always have there toy with them if someone has a minute for a good game!
Good luck!
Do the above but make sure that he has had some serious play time (not exhausted but just enough to blow off the exuberance) before working with him.
Love boxers but their attention span is short compared to other breeds. They don't exactly set records in obedience competition.
Get him a crate that will be big enough for him to stand up and turn around when he is an adult. Put his blanket or bed in there and give him a toy. Put him and sit there with the doot open and tell him is wonderful and good. A treat is fine. Keephimonly 5 -10 minutes.
Next time feed him inthere and sit there. (You can do this in the same day.
Next tiem, put him in with his toy and close the door. Leavehim in for awhile.
Keep repeating the patterna nd extending the time.
Within a week he should happily settle n his crate for hours.
He should heel,sit, stay, down and come. If you have never trained a dog, I strongly recommend finding an obedience class. A boxer is not the breed for a first time DIY. Petsmart has them but they aren't that good with the strong, guarding breeds as they seemto think that what workd on a Golden bred for obedience competiton should work on everything.
Try to find a kennel club in your area. They can point you in the right direction. Go here:
http://www.akc.org/clubs/about.cfm.
click on "find a club in your area". Eveni if they are 1-2 hours away, still call them. Dog show people know who is doing what all over.
I really really discourage the use of treats. You will not always have that treat in your pocket and some day, he'll figure that he didn't get it last time, so why do what he is told this time. You always have your hands and voice - USE THEM. Pet, hug, praise for good behavior. Scold and make him do it when he doesn't do things. Like anything, there has to be an upside and downside for behavior. Relying only upon kitchey-kitchey coo - have a cookie only gets you so far. What happens the day he decides he would rather chase ther abbitthan comewhen called so he can have the treat (the rabbit being more fun than the treat) and there is a carcoming..?
Training Your Pup
Pups are as individual as they can get. Stereotyping any puppy鈥檚 nature is a grave mistake, so refrain from it. Observe to find what sort of action your dog likes, and what he dislikes. Few may like a belly rub, while others may hate an ear scratch. This is essential while conveying to your puppy what is a reward and what is a punishment. You must not end up doing something what he dislikes so as to discourage him.

how to treat mange on dog?
someone told me use used motor on a dog for mange!!? dose any know anything about this? wouldn't it kill the dog if it licks it off?
Answers:
Do NOT rub motor oil or kerosene on your dog. Mange is a critter that's gotten into you dogs skin. You need to take your dog to the vet they will do a skin scraping and look at this under a microscope to see what type of critter it is then they will prescribe treatments and medicines. You need to be careful too I'm not certain but I think you can be affected by this skin condition too. So please take care of your dog.
Go to a vet, now.don't try to treat with home remedys or it may become untreatable. I waited too long and even with professional care my beloved dog had to be put down. His hot spots were aweful and in the end he suffered.
What? Take him to the vet or give him to someone that will.
My former dog had a little spot of mange on her face. Do u think I would use anything other than what the vet told me, and how to apply? She lived to b 19 yrs old. That answers it!
ummmm.go to a vet duhhhhh!
The dog needs to go to a veterinary clinic and be quarantined until cured. Get it done immediately.
yes that .and a touch of kerosene mixed into the oil. not a lot, ow. two table spoons, per quart, of oil.that dog will not lick it would you?.works ever time.you put it on the dog. then rub the dog with a cloth. leaving a coating on the skin. not fur.but not a thick one, continue this for about ten days to two weeks, it will cure the dog,done that a number of times. over the years.good luck.
yes motor oil helps.he won't lick at it cus of the taste.you must treat his bed area too.do not let him or her slep on any kind of clothing this will cause mange.
Don't do anything stupid like rubbing motor oil and kerosine on your pet. You could damage it's sensitive skin, and it could make him/her very sick. Please go to your vet immediately.
There are acouple types of mange. You need to take your dog to the vet to determine what kind, for the proper treatment. The treatments are for the specific type and do not cure the other.Don't do/use any home remedy.
dip the dog in lindane there are also lots of over the counter dips
theres more than 1 type of mange which dogs can get. go to your vets to get the right shampoo.

how to treat a dog who has been bitten by another dog? Our vets outta town?
Answers:
You can clean the wound/s safely with Hydrogen peroxide, because it is very good for cleaning wound/s and will not burn your doggie, ask your pharmacist about a good otc antibiotic creme to dress the wounds that you can put on pet which won`t harm him if he licks it. I wish the best for your doggie. oh yes, I am not sure about any bandaging, because my pooch tears hers off so she can lick her wounds when she had a sore.
Sorry, not enough info! Bad deep bite bleeding really badly, or just worried about rabies? DETAILS!!
Find another vet or an emergency vet center
look in the phone book for another vet.
clean it out with peroxide, then put triple ointment on /in it %26 wrap.
Check for emergency animal clinic in your area. Can't help you without more information on dogs injury. Check health records of other dog.
Poor doggie! Look no further! Here's your answer! Go to this website:http://allexperts.com/browse.cgi?catlvl=.
Ask any question you want for FREE, and get a reply by email.
End of story! Good luck! Of course, if it's an emergency, you need to find an emergency animal clinic.
hey, go to another vet. there must be a referral for him while he is away.
Treat it like you would a human injury. Immobilize your dog so he won't bite you. Make a soft muzzle with a soft bandana by placing the folded center of the bandana over his nose, criss-cross it under his jaw and then tie it back behind his ears.
Next, clean the wound. If it is puncture bites only, pour rubbing alcohol then hydrogen peroxide down into the bite holes and then betadine.
If the wound is gaping and flesh is torn, do the same cleansing with alcohol and peroxide, but check to see if there is any dirt/saliva and gently wash it out with antibacterial soap first. Place a sterile gauze pad smeared with triple antibiotic ointment over the wound and tape it closed. Don't try to stitch it yourself.
If the wound is really severe, find another vet. Hopefully, your dog's shots are up to date!
First, How deep is the wound, If it is only a skin wound it could be treated with a local antibiotic, some of the same that you would use on your self with a similar wound. How ever if the wound is a deep wound extending down into the muscle tissue, then the procedure would be slightly different. First, it is important to keep clean, wash out with sterile water with a mild antibiotic or disinfectant, Iodine works good here (BUT NOT FULL STRENGTH) OUCH!! dilute with water and rinse the bite and the area around. Keep covered with sterile gauze and see the Vet when he gets back into town. PS you should make sure and change dressing several times a day if it is a deep bite. Keep Clean. Watch for infection.
I can't determine whether or not your vet's outta town, and it seems like the first part of your first question has been truncated somehow or another, but I gather from the available information that a dog has been bitten by another dog in your vicinity, and you seek helpful information regarding adequate canine first aid. Treatment depends upon injury severity, and this ranges from rather mild to mortal, so the options are quite variable. With more specific information, more specific advice may be available. Good luck. I hope it's nothing too serious, and that the injury can be treated without major medical intervention.
How to training your puppy to go potty out side?
Right now i am using potty pads and she is pretty good with that. She will not go poo on the potty pad but she will go peepee. Now how do i get her to go outside? I have tried just putting her on her leash and taking her outside but she gets scared and wont go. she is a chihuahua.
Answers:
Chihuahua's are very hard to housetrain. But since she goes pee on the puppy pads move them closer to the door every day. Untill you reach the door. Then put the pads outside. Take it out as much as possible after eating, napping, playing. or every 30 minutes. When you take her outside take the puppy pad out there too put it down in the same spot outside. Talk to her and walk with her so she will not get scared. When she uses it on the puppy pads or outside praise her when you see her pee or poo in the floor scold her. Never scold her for something she did 10 minutes ago because she will not know what she is getting in trouble for. This is how my uncle trained is Chi and how I am training mine!
i trained mine by watching it go potty outside and rewarding it when he (or she) does! it workd after while and when he does it on his own he just gets more and more used to it and you dont have to reward him anymore! but dont reward him too much because he will get used to the rewards and want a treat everytime he goes potty haha! hope that answers your question!
Just keep taking her outside! I would get rid of the peepee pads. Keep her crate by the door and take her out at regular intervals - when she wakes up, after she eats, and whenever you see her sniffing around the floor. I know it's alot of work but if you keep at it in 2 weeks she will be trained. (forgot to say - give treats each time she goes outside)
lock him in the backyard until he poops
i had a dog once that wouldn't go outside. she was 6 mos. old when i got her. she would only use paper, (way back then, we didn't have potty pads). anyways the vet told me to keep moving the paper closer to the door. when you get to the door, put part out side and part inside. then the last step all the way outside. when she wants to go outside , throw the paper away and take her to the grass. it worked.
she's probably afraid because she is tiny.
good luck.
we have a 6 mth old dach, and he was learning in 3 wks. take the puppy out every time she eats or drinks. we didn't even use the pads (waste of $). every time you finish playing with her, take her out. whenever she wakes up, take her out. i don't know if you're in and apartment or a house, but make sure she knows that she will be taken out if she goes to the door. when you're not home, put her in a small crate, just big enough to lie down in. she'll learn to hold her bladder so that she can just go out and pee/poop when she's let out. take her right out when you get home. she'll catch on. everyone said that dachs are the hardest to train, but he goes to the door EVERY time now.

Chihuahua's are very hard to housetrain. But since she goes pee on the puppy pads move them closer to the door every day. Untill you reach the door. Then put the pads outside. Take it out as much as possible after eating, napping, playing. or every 30 minutes. When you take her outside take the puppy pad out there too put it down in the same spot outside. Talk to her and walk with her so she will not get scared. When she uses it on the puppy pads or outside praise her when you see her pee or poo in the floor scold her. Never scold her for something she did 10 minutes ago because she will not know what she is getting in trouble for. This is how my uncle trained is Chi and how I am training mine!
i trained mine by watching it go potty outside and rewarding it when he (or she) does! it workd after while and when he does it on his own he just gets more and more used to it and you dont have to reward him anymore! but dont reward him too much because he will get used to the rewards and want a treat everytime he goes potty haha! hope that answers your question!
Just keep taking her outside! I would get rid of the peepee pads. Keep her crate by the door and take her out at regular intervals - when she wakes up, after she eats, and whenever you see her sniffing around the floor. I know it's alot of work but if you keep at it in 2 weeks she will be trained. (forgot to say - give treats each time she goes outside)
lock him in the backyard until he poops
i had a dog once that wouldn't go outside. she was 6 mos. old when i got her. she would only use paper, (way back then, we didn't have potty pads). anyways the vet told me to keep moving the paper closer to the door. when you get to the door, put part out side and part inside. then the last step all the way outside. when she wants to go outside , throw the paper away and take her to the grass. it worked.
she's probably afraid because she is tiny.
good luck.
