she is in heat right now..we did test her with a male puppy and she was curious but then he tried to climb on her-she curled her lip at him and of course we couldnt let that continue. We really couldnt get more of a test with other dogs than that for now because of her situation. But she did pass he...

I feel bad for the male too, he just wants to hang out and shes all over him. Hes so big and strong im really surpised he hasnt showed her whos boss yet. Normally if they just start getting into it, i can just walk towards them and they both run in opposite directions. But if they are really into i...

Some of the responses in the this thread are super alarmist. The adopter admittedly doesn't even know if the move was aggressive. I don't know if you guys have been around many shelter dogs, but they are a ball of pent up energy and they jump and act stupid and lunge sometimes. Should he proceed wit...

Great video - thank you! And I'm pleased to report Booker's sinus cavity is nice and clear! lol But yes, the collar should come apart each time. And I actually recommend trying to use different links each time, so as not to "soften" one link in particular and weaken it. ooooooo excellent ...

nice to see that our vet is listed as aaha.

She is much much better on the Atopica than she was on the steriods. Without Atopica, she literally is scratching and licking constantly - to the point where she wakes me up at night with it. On Atopica, her symptoms have been lessening more and more, she's been on it about 2 months now.

We went off the steroid since the effect wasn't good enough (IMO) to outweigh the risks associated with long term use. She was taking a pill every other day. Now she gets Atopica daily.

I too have an allergy dog and have gone through much of what you have. OTC antihistamines have no effect, she's been receiving a weekly shot as well, for over a year with no effect. Steroids gave us some improvement. What I HIGHLY recommend though is Atopica. It is a pill specifically for allergies ...

The volunteer who has her now has actually arranged for a vet to do a dental on her - fully comped. The vet estimates her to be closer to 13 than 17 and thinks probably every tooth will come out.

Her condition was much worse than we were expecting....very sad.

I'm not quite sure yet, as she's currently in North Carolina. The owner says "bad" and that some of them should probably come out. She eats only soft food because that's all she can eat (at least that's what I get from the emails).

this is npbr, but i thought i'd ask you guys since you're all pretty in the know. mike and i should be getting a foster early march. she's a 17 year old Dachshund with bad teeth. she eats soft food only and some of her teeth probably should come out. i'm not thrilled with the idea of putting a dog t...

yes, this is under a veternarian's supervision. this is the dosage the shelter veterinarian prescribed him when he first arrived at the shelter. he improved by leaps and bounds and is only now backsliding.

i will check what the % is on our bottle.

no one has any ideas? he has demodex mange. we just got back from boston yesterday and his hair loss is really noticeable now. i know stress can bring on mange, but nothing in his life has changed. ideas? Are you 100% SURE there are ZERO intact females within 2 miles of you? If not, you have an int...

he's still on everything he has been. he is intact and about 9 months old now, so i suppose it could very well have something to do with him maturing.

as the pictures show, it's in patches, but it's not localized to one area. the patches are all over.
