Dog drinking own urine
This is a foster dog (1-2 yo mix breed female neutered) that has just come into my care. She is drinking her urine like it's water. She was released by an elderly woman, don't know if she was severely punished for housetraining or maybe didn't receive water? Have had her medically checked, no infections and giving her vitamins to help if it is associated with poor nutrition. Any ideas on helping her stop this? Anything we could feed her to make her urine taste bad? Thanks for your help. |

Dog afraid of thunder
Our 8yo English Setter (female neutered) in the past 2 years has developed a fear of thunder. She will try to dig the carpet, trembles violently and will jump on our laps to be comforted. Our male Setter doesn't mind the thunder a bit. I don't like the idea of using sedatives for her. Do you have any solutions? - Click
