Dog afraid of animal bonesMy 4yo Bichon Frise neutered female dog is afraid of animal bones. I only have to show her one and she runs away from me extremely upset. If I try to get close to her she sometimes wets herself. If you leave the bone for her or wait until she sneaks up to you she will grab the bone from you take the bone and eat it away from you. After she sits around the corner from you looking very timid. Last night i was sitting at the table eating lamb and just showed her the bone and she ran out the house. I don't understand my Bichon is a extremely outgoing dog and not scared about anything. She happily catches planes with me and trotts through the airport terminal. She loves all types of food and is just waiting to grab the food of your plate. We have not found any food she won't eat. She has no problems with chew bones. She also gets very timid when we turn the barbeque on outside as she knows the bones come from the bbq. She came from a loving breeder she was not mistreated so what is the phobia about meat bones. They only have to be a tiny bone and she will run from me. Petrified? | |
Dog giving birthMy 2yo Great Dane bitch is having puppies now. How long can the bitch go between having puppies? She had one at 10:00pm last night and then two more this morning at about 6:00am. She hasn't had any problems but she hasn't had any more for about 10 hours. She doesn't seem to be stressed or in any pain, she is just nursing. How long should I wait before taking her to the vet? | |

Dog with fleasLast night my 7yo female neutered maltese was scatching a little & I noticed that the day before she did a little too. I rolled her over to look through her and found a flea...then 2 more a little bit later. I immediately ran to the store and bought Sergeants flea control that you put on their back between the shoulder blades & put that on her immediatedly. I washed all of her bedding & have vaccumed the house at least 3 times since. We have a huge 2 level house and the dog is 99.9% of the time on our main level in our living room & dining room. I found only 2 today...and that was early this morning...I have not seen any since...but am scared to death of how many fleas are in our house that I cannot see. I am afraid they are crawling everywhere & don't know where to start. The dog sometimes goes upstairs in our bedrooms.....I am afraid these pests could be in closets & etc....any advice would be greatly appreciated! | |
Dog with wet patches in bed after sleepingOur dog (6yo female neutered Lab mix) Daisy will sleep in our bed sometimes for a little while and then she will sleep in her crate or around the house. For the last two nights we have had thunder so she slept with us the whole night. We noticed this morning that she was cleaning herself in her back section a lot and then noticed that she had been laying in a big wet spot. This wet spot was cold and moist and soaked through a comforter, another blanket, top sheet, onto the regular sheet. On the bottom sheet it was in the shape of three circles. It didn't smell and she layed there without a problem. Do you think it was urine? If so why would she be laying in it? We also have a 5 week old baby and want to know if this could stem from that? We have noticed several other times way before the baby moist smaller moist spots on our bed, chair, or carpet where she had cleaned herself. Is this normal and how can we help our dog? We want to make sure she is not sick. We appreciate your response because we can not talk to our vet until tomorrow. Thank you!! | |

Dog digging carpet
My dog (5yo female neutered Blue Heeler mix) is outside during the day and inside at night. I've only had her for 6 months- I got her from a friend. During the past month, she started scratching at our carpets ruining them. She only scratches them around the walls never in middle of the floor. Why is she doing this and what can I do to get her to stop?
