Dogs

How many dogs have you raised in your life and when was the first time you started to have dog? And what gave you the idea to have dog?

the earliest i can remember asking for a dog was 5 years old … my parents finally gave in when i was 10 and bought the family a miniature poodle … that dog lived to 16 years old and when i was away in university she died …

the next dog i bought was born in the day my childhood dog died (total coincidence) … i was 21 years old and he was a bichon cross and he lived to 17 years old …

my current dog was a gift … she is 12 years old …

i also work as a dog walker/sitter for the past six years and have many regular furry clients …

i have loved dogs from when i was born i guess :O)

There is a really cute stray near my home.But lately he is acting weird.Is it because he is infected?Is it safe to go near him?

Any abnormal neurological sign can indicate rabies. The first signs can be very subtle changes in behavior.

We have a male and a female Boxer, 8 and 12 years old. Both are AKC registered (they did not share parents). I was reading tonight that the Boxer breed is around 120 years old and thought it would be interesting to see if either’s lineage could be traced back to the "first" Boxer. Is there a way to do that?

My dog is AKC and CKC ( Canadian Kennel Club) registered. I have an 8 generation pedigree that came with their paperwork when I bought him. And I believe you can do the search on the AKC website with the registration number. Or your National Breed Club. I suggest contacting them to find out.

Here is a list of them in the US

I have a collection going but still want to add to it. They are too expensive sold separately with shipping and handling on each. so if anyone has some that they want to get rid of, contact me with prices!

I have a female Shih Tzu and I think she is showing some signs of diabetes. She drinks lots and lots of water and pees alot. Other than that she seems fine. I would like to know the symptoms other than what i just listed. Thanks

You have clearly looked a symptoms associated with diebetes, so you need to go and get her tested…take with you a sample of her urine ( morning urine and no more than 6 hours old when you see the vet) this should show, if not then it will be a blood test…but the sooner you test the better and it doesn’t always mean they need to be on medication……………………………

She’s not eating much food and she’s just laying around not as hyper as usual. She isn’t wanting to eat her dog food. Is this to early to show symptoms? She tied like 6 times but iit was with a 5 month old dog and I don’t want her to be pregnant.
I know she won’t show but would she go off her food? I can’t spay her she’s ACK and has titles. I can’t mention this to my breed mentor she’ll wring my neck
She bred all through Easter weekend

Spaying would answer that question. If you didnt want her to have puppies how did she tie 6 times? It isnt too late to alter. Most dogs do not show this early.

Four of six of my dogs were having convulsions and when they threw up the veterinarian said that it had potato’s and it had something grassy. We treated two other dogs and one of them had convulsions. He gave them a shot to counteract any poison in their symptoms.

You could’ve asked the vet, and still should. But common symptoms are vomiting, convulsions, and death; and I say common b/c it usually takes an autopsy to determine the cause.

I need to know what happens to the dog after he eats it for a class

1. Increased urination
2. Eye irritation
3. Nausea
4. Vomiting
5. Abdominal Pain
6. Chest Pain
7. Irregular Heart Beat
8. Difficulty breathing
9. Slowed breathing rate
10. Shortness of breath

i just want to know, and no im not gonna put them to fight! i just want to know because i want to know other peoples opinions on who would win. and please do not write that its animal cruelty or that ima put them to fight because im not!!i just want to know because i want to know other peoples opinions on who would win.

This is a pointless question. And impossible to say because breed doesn’t mean a thing. It’s all about the individual dogs.

I have a pomergranate tree in my backyard, and am looking to plant a few more. I want to know if they pose any hazard to my dogs? No only the fruit but the leaves as well. (sometime they nibble on grasses and plants) I have checked the aspca site for dangerous plants, no luck there.

According to the ASPCA, pomegranate seeds, while full of healthy vitamins and antioxidants for humans, are NOT GOOD for dogs, causing “significant GI irritation and even central nervous system depression.”
