Dog with sore pawMy 6month old Labrador has a sore on the inside of one of the pads on her rear left paw. She licks at it enough that it is a concern, but she doesn't whine about it or have any problems walking or running on it. It is red and irritated. What should I do to treat it and relieve her of the irritation? | |
Dog with sound sensitivityI have an unusual situation with this dog that I adopted from a Local Rescue. As soon as I brought her home I noticed that she had an extreme "sound sensitivity". Whenever she hears a sudden or loud noice, she immediately goes into a strange hesterical mode/bark and bites at whatever is standing near her at that moment. Her bite is extreme and I have suffered two serious injuries already from this bite. I can clearly see that this in unintentional behavior and a "reaction" to something that has happen to her in her past. When I tried to get information or even advise from the Rescue group, they became quite indifferent to me and snapped that I should return her to them. I do not want to "return" her. Other then this happening, she is a very sweet, loving dog, who loves! people.( IN just 4 months I have house trained her, crate trained, sit, shake, ect..) Along with this problem- of sound sensitivity she is now lunging out to jump/bite my other 5yr. Sheltie. I have purchased the new head collar/lead called the "Gentle Leader" and it has helped tremendously to change the instant lunge. But I was wondering if you had any idea what on earth would cause this extreme lashing out/bite at any sudden or loud sound from such a young girl. I never could get any answers from the rescue group on her history. Is this a behavior that I can change? DO you have any ideas? We love this dog, she loves us, and we do want to keep her.we have trained her in alot of other skills but cant seem to figure out the sound sensitivity BITE. I know the SHeltie breed isa herding dog, and I have had dogs all my life, but I have never seen this type of extreme sensitivity in any dog. Please email me and let me know what you think. I want to do the right thing, so that maybe in the future, she wont do this, and wont need to constantly wear the "Gentle Leader" . Part of me is fearful for my other Sheltie who is quite gentle and sweet. | |
Constipation in dogsMy 11yo Labrador seems to be constipated. Are there any home remedies that I can use? | |
Puppy throwing up after eatingI have a litter of Australian Shepherd pups. I have been feeding them dog food moistened with water for about a week now. One of the females throws up every time she eats. The others do fine. Is there something wrong with her? | |
Moving house and dogsI am moving and although I have been bringing my 2yo female boxer mix to the new home these last few days of escrow closing, I have a chance to go on a 5 day vacation in 2 weeks. I'll be officially moved in this weekend and will stay home with her 24/7 to get her used to her new home. She has a "brother" and the house is on 1 acre secluded w/ no way to get out, but should I leave? I also have a few cats who arets are 10 yrs. old, and I have a way to secure them, but for how long? bottom line, can I go on vacation without much worry? A friend will be by daily to feed them. | |
Dog losing pigmentation on noseMy 5yo Shepherd/wolf cross is losing the pigmentation on her nose. Its not running, or dry, or oozing, just losing its color. It does not seem to be sore or that its even bothering her. |
