I have been debating this for quite a while. My dog needs to be expressed 1-4 times a month. He has plenty of fiber, but it's not doing the job. He would chew on his rear until that smelly stuff gets all over him.I have read in this newsgroup about people who had injections to stop the glands from...

I need a good reccomendation on premium dog food. My 2 yr old Sheltie just got tired of Canidae. He's been eating it for about a year. He usually gets bored with food in 8-12 months. I am trying California Natural but it might be too rich for him. His stools are a little loose. Any...

A week ago our dog "Juju" started to have diarea. I called my vet an he recommended Imodium, rice and boiled hambuger to stop the problem. He also said to bring a stool sample in to be analyzed. The promblem is still there. I am going to bring her to our vet, but has anyone had this problem with...

This past weekend my daughter discovered some lumps on our bichon's throat area. Today we took him the vet who took some needle biopsys. The official results won't be for a few days but the vet looked at the biopsy cells and thought they were not infection cells. That leave cancer that has just...

Our Rotty is almost 9 years old. She suddenly has gone through a severe full body shedding of her fur. She doesn't scratch and there is no sores or swelling on her skin. We also noticed she is drooling much more recently (this may be nothing - her sister has been a drooler since she was a...

Please forgive the cross posting, but I am posting to breeds and behavior groups too since I know that not everyone checks out the messages on the dog health newsgroup. Our much beloved 12 year old German Shepherd, Josey, had a mammary tumor removed a week ago. She tolerated the procedure very...

Has anyone's dog had this? What is it? I will need to borrow $ for this and I just wonder how critical it is? His whole eye seems irritated (I think) any natural or home remedies? It sounds like there has been no resolution and you need to get your dog into a vet as soon as...

Good morning, We have a 7 year old miniature schnauzer that we take great care of and he has been in excellent health up to a few days ago. However, for the past 5 days our dog has been vomiting yellowish, watery liquid (nothing solid) on daily basis. He hasn’t touched food in 5 days,...

My Boston Terrier, 10 weeks old, is quite active and seems to be extemely healthy. We go for hour long walks and visits around the neighborhood each evening. She looks forward to visiting with all of her "friends". Dogs and people. We stop usually midway at a neighborhood park and Dixie always...

Help! A friend let his dog run behind his bike for a while.. as he does more often as the dog is pretty hyper.. she didn't give a peep but when he got home all 4 of her paws were bleeding. He usually runs her on dirt paths but this time he rode on asphalt. Can anyone tell me how serious that is?...

Especially you, Buglady. I did as you suggested; I sat down with him and talked to him about the move, (I don't mind telling you I felt more than just a bit silly.) I made sure the two of us were alone. :) I took him in the bedroom and shut the door with just the two of us and talked to him about...

My 16 month old Golden Retriever appears to have developed Chicken Pox, is there such a thing for dogs? She seems to have little "scabs", similar to chicken pox all over her body. I thought I'd found a HUGE infestation of ticks, but this isn't ticks. It's everywhere on her body, very obvious...
