I personally wouldn't risk it. I would take the dog right into the vet and see what they say. Pets can't tell you what hurts in so many words like people can. It is best to have someone that may have dealt with something like this before take a look at....

If you are pregnant and you have cats you should not be cleaning out your litter box. Have someone else do it for you. Also if you have cats that go outside and there are a bunch of stray cats in your neighborhood and you are pregnant you need to wear...

Can you put the litter box where the dog can't get to it, maybe like in a basement or something? I was going to say get a litter box that has a cover on it but I guess that won't work because the dog is small. Dogs do crazy things that make zero sense to...

Ok I have heard of beef flavored water for dogs, which I have purchased and given to my dog (she loved it), but dog beer come on. I should just come up with something completely crazy and try to sell it, I bet you I would make millions. My neighbor's dog...

I have a whole cabinet full of stuff for my dogs. Toothpaste, brush, ear medicine, flea treatment, heartworm, neosporin and stuff like that. I have never got and purchased a specific dog first aid kit. My older dog got bit by a german shepard on the back...

Has anyone ever gone through a rescue agency that only rescues certain breed of dogs? I know a few people that have gone through these kind of agencies. One lady rescued 2 grey hounds. After they are done racing they can go up for adoption. Also a friend...

Actually the hamburger and rice is to help the dog if it isn't feeling well. I have had to do this several times for my dogs. If they are vomiting or have diarrhea it helps their stomachs. Sadie just went through a little spell where she did't want to...

Yes, yes and yes. Does that mean that other people do the same, no? I have noticed in my front yard that there have been some dogs visiting it. If I see them let their dogs go to the bathroom in my yard I usually stick my head out and ask where they live...

When Sadie was younger she used to sleep in the middle of the bed with us but when she could no longer jump up that high without help she stopped sleeping on the bed. Shadow only sleeps with us in the winter. It is weird as soon as it even starts getting...

After my dad died my mom was still traveling back and forth from NY to FL and sometimes drove it my herself. She has a little Boston Terrier named Pudgie that travels with her. She needed to put Pudgie in a seatbelt. When she would get out to get gas the...

I honestly don't think she would go after the fish. I would put it on the kitchen counter and I would tell her 'no touch' and she would repeat 'no touch' back to me. I would explain the fish is only for looking at and not touching. Also she would be able...

Do you allow your dogs on your furniture? We do. It started with Sadie and then we got Shadow so they are both allowed on the furniture. We used to have a recliner that Shadow absolutely loved. Sadie wouldn't go near it because it rocked. We just got new...

What kind of collar do you use on your dog? When we were training Sadie when she was younger we found a pinch collar to be really effective. A pinch collar should only be used for training and should not be left on at any other time besides training. We...

Does anybody take their dog to doggie day care? I used to work with a lady that took her dog to one of these places. I have seen them on tv but have never been to one myself. I am a stay at home mom so my 2 are home with me all day and go out anytime...

I love my labs but would also love to have dogs that don't shed. I spend so much of my time cleaning up their fur. I don't know of any dogs that don't shed. I know that there are some out there I just don't know any specific breeds. I am sure that they...

You can't do the flea medication that you get from your vet? We just use the kind that you put drops all their backs from head to tail. We have had really good luck with it. I would say talk to your vet to see what they can do for little dogs that don't...

I thought K-9 was funny with Jim Belushi(I think that is how you spell his name). Also I thought the dog in You've Got Mail was good with Tom Hanks. My little one is still into the cartoons so we haven't really gotten into any movies yet. The truth about...

We bought Sadie for a very responsible $125. She was from some people we know. Shadow on the other hand was $350 I believe. We bought Shadow on a whim. Saw an ad in a paper and went and looked at them and brought her home. They are both very much worth...

I am so bad an naming specific kinds of birds but I definitely know we have blue jays because they pick at my corn stalks that I have on my front porch for decoration for Halloween. We also have robins, cardinals, sparrows and a bunch of others. My...

It depends on if it is a no kill shelter or not. It is sad though if they do need to be put to sleep for no other reason than their time is up at the shelter they are at. My husband and I will definitely get a shelter dog. I am going to wait until my...

My daugher, sister and I just went to the zoo today. First I want to say it was great. There was hardly anybody there. Now that the kids are back to school it was very quiet. We had an absolute ball. It was the first time my daugher had been to the zoo....

I enjoy either Petsmart or Petco. I buy our dog food from Walmart because it is the exact same thing you would get at either one of the other stores. Pedigree is Pedigree no matter where you get it. I think for more specific things that you almost have...

I have heard of this too. My neighbor had a leak in their driveway and went over there and asked what the kitty litter was for and they said that there were soaking up the spill. I was like go figure just one more thing that has 2 purposes. I love things...

I would have loved to show my dogs. They rules and stuff are so strict. They have to be a certain height and weight. Females cannot be fixed. For labs anyway there can't be any markings on them at all. Oh wait maybe there can be a small white spot on...

Gosh to pick only one favorite pet is a tough thing to do. I can remember as a kid having a cat named Socks. She had kittens in my bedroom closet. That was a pretty cool thing to tell my friends. My husband had a dog named Snowball. She was a really good...

Do you brush your dog's teeth? Our vet told us as our dogs got older that their teeth would need to brush quite often. If you go to Petsmart they have a beef flavored toothpaste. My dogs tend to lick the toothpaste more than anything but I try my best to...

I think this happens a lot for all kinds of differn occasions. I remember when the 101 Dalmations movie came out and everyone wanted a dalmation. Halloween people want black cats. I don't think Easter is an acceptions to this. It is sad to me because...

Do you dress up your pets for Halloween? I don't but I do think it would be funny. Once I took red garland and put it around Sadie, the older one, for a Christmas but that is as far as it went with the whole dressing up thing. I don't know how well they...

Nah I don't believe in this stuff. It is fun to joke around with like breaking a mirror, walking under a ladder etc. My dogs are black so I would love a little black kitten. With Halloween coming up I think people get a little more crazy about the...

I saw a thread for cats that shed so I thought I would start one for dogs. My 2 fur ball dogs shed like crazy. If I don't keep right on top of it there are small black tumble weeds all over the house. I am constantly getting the vacuum cleaner to go over...
