Boston Terrier by
GUnes

Birthday, because that's what he has been wanting for 3 years now. When

One Bald Toe any ever seen this? by
Spot
I didn't notice it when I first brought Gabby home two weeks ago but she has
1 bald toe on her front foot. I watched thinking she might be grooming it
bald although it's not inflamed and it doesn't appear to hurt when I touch
and poke around with it. Infact the skin seems kind of tough on that...

Ringworm in dogs by
timothymperry@gmail.com
My 11 month old boxer picked up ringworm somehow and none of the
medicines the vet has given us have worked. Has anyone had this
ailment with their dog and if so, what did you use to get rid of it?
And how long did it take?

queenmarcia
I babysit for a dog. Abba Zabba, and she has always had a very, very
dry nose on the outside-the nose leather part. I don't know if it
bothers her, but her owner is always asking me what to do about it.
We both love Abba dearly, and I am thinking after looking around on
the internet that maybe...

Dog Food by

How to place an older dog? by

Here's a sad story that is all too common.
My vet has been boarding an older (11)
Miniature Schnauzer for some time. The

than that, but the details are not necessary.)

spay question by
dkjlb.byrne@gmail.com
We have a lab puppy. Our vet advised us to allow her to go through one
heat cycle before getting her spayed. The vet said that this reduces
the chance that she'll become incontinent (common in female labs) and
it also seems to reduce the risk of her developing some skin problems.

4th of July dog jitters by
Nicki Sinclair
On the 4th of July, my dog
vibrates in fear. IF I don't
hold her all evening (which I
don't mind), she will dart to
the darkest corner, under my
bed and shake uncontrollably.
IS there anything that will
help her get through the
evening more comfortably?
