Doberman losing hairMy 2.5 year old Doberman sheds a lot and has had thinning hair more and more as she grows older. We've checked her for thyroid problems and it's normal. We've put her on a hypoallergenic diet. Still she sheds a lot and her hair is getting so sparse I am worried that she will have none left soon! Help! | |
Rage syndrome in dogsOur bull terrier was at the local shelter and a friend from a local BT rescue association called us. We could tell she had a sweet temperament, but was obvious she had been neglected and/or abused. 99.9% of the time she is the sweetest dog, lovable, playful,fun...but she has "sudden onset rage sydrome". Have you ever heard of it? Mostly at night in her sleep, but she wakes up growling, snarling and biting. She snaps out of it pretty quickly and doesn't seem to realize what she has done. I've been bitten twice. As of now she is scheduled to be put down on Monday. It's breaking our hearts because we love her. She is currently taking xanax (Alprazolam) 2x a day .50 mg. The last time she bit me, we had forgotten to give her the medicine that night. We had a BT for 12 years and she passed 21/2 years ago. This is really hard to go through again. Do you know anything about this? I understand it is a genetic defect and not much can be done. Thank you. This is a great service you have. | |
Dog biting and nipping handsI rescued my dog (Mango)from a shed. She was 8 weeks old when I got her. She's a Pit Bull. Other than her biting she is a very good puppy, very smart. She already knows how to sit, lay, and sometimes stay and down. We are still working with her. I have one problem with her. I can not get her to stop biting. I know she is just playing and she not being mean, but we still need to get her to know it's not okay to bite people. We have tried almost everything. Some things work for about a day, but the next day she doesn't seem to care. Here are some of the things we have tried: Holding her mouth shut (I thin she thinks we are playing and nips when we let go) Is there any thing else we can try? If you can't help can you refer us to someone? | |
Dog mitesMy vet says that my dog could have mites as he is losing patches of hair on his body and his face. Can you tell me what mites are commonly found on dogs? | |
Brown stains on fur of dogMy English bulldog has begun to develop reddish/brown stains around his mouth area, mostly under his chin. In addition, there are reddish, brown stains underneath him as well, near the belly button area and the hind leg area. Also, I find that his discharge from the eye area are also light brown in color. He takes vitamins (Canine red cell) every day....this is red in color. Could this be causing the staining? If not, do you have any idea what could be doing this? How can I get rid of it? (the staining is mainly on the white portion of his fur) | |
Dog drinking drain cleanersMy dog ingested a small amount of diluted drain cleaner that had overflowed from the toilet. He shows no signs of being ill, but I am just concerned and nervous. What should I do? |

Female cat with bloody discharge from vagina
Our (1yo female DSH) neutered cat (neutered prior to our ownership) has had intermittent small volume bloody discharge from her vagina for the last 3 months. On exam her vulva had an ulcerated area and our veternarian is planning an exam under anesthesia later this week. She has no weight loss, a healthy appetite, and has had no change in activity. She is the only animal in our home. What do you believe this could be?
