10 years old cat was in heat then suddenly the next day she acts like she wants to vomit but cant and around her vaginia dark mucus.
If touch her above her tail she acts like she wants to vomit.
Our 12 week pup recently got a crate. She’s been doing great for toilet training but urinated in it today. It wasn’t much but the crate door was open and she was playing with her toys and chose to use the crate. Any advice?

Why does my dads cat hide in a corner and act all nervous almost? His nose to the floor and just laid there looking at me like something was wrong.

Alexis Carpenter As far as I know. I don’t see the cat everyday. I don’t live with my dad. He was doing it when I was babysitting his girlfriends two boys.

Alexis Carpenter Ok. Thanks. I know Mika has a collapsed lung and rib cage on one side. He’s had that since birth. And he’s a Bengal cat I believe

cassy hendricks I know my cat acts somewhat like that when she is nervous. Mainly when there are kids around her or big crowds. She runs under the bed and just stares at stuff. How old are the boys and have they ever been rough with the cat? That could be a cause as well but defiantly go to the vet if this is a new behavior because like Krista said something could be wrong.
I have a 4 yr old female yorkshire terrier. Eaten June bugs. Resulted in diarrhea on an off for over a week. licking her butt and wanting to sit in the cool grass. I looked and it’s raw. Can i use silverdene?
My dog had diareah for a couple days so I boiled hamburger and rice and fed that and slowly mixed in dry dog food. It has been over 48 hours and no poop. Should I be worried and calling my vet?
Hi Dr. Magnifico 🙂
My dog Sydney was just diagnosed with having a mast cell tumor. Is it typical that we would have to remove the tumor before finding out what grade it is?
Thanks in advance!

How can I stop my boyfriend’s 10 year old dog mounting my 5 year old dog constantly
Scolding, blowing whisle, shouting does not work. My dog snaps & barks to no avail
Neither I or my boyfriend want to find a new home for one of the dogs

Anonymous this is a training issue. i would ask a trainer for help to ensure you’re doing things right, but i would keep both dogs leashed when they’re together…and crate them when they aren’t, if you live together.

PK Dennis Have both of these dogs been neutered? (I assume they are male). If they aren’t, get them to a vet now. Mounting is all about who is in control — not about sex. But, having all those hormones in their bodies amps up all reactions.
If you are making a fuss, and there is snapping and barking involved it sounds to me that the humans are not the ones in control in your life. Both you and your boyfriend need to start working with your dogs on the basics such as down stay, sit stay, go to your bed, bring me a toy, find the ball, heel, etc. As you gain control over the mind of your dogs you show them that humans are the ones in control and they will feel less need to show dominance to each other. It wouldn’t hurt to find a trainer to help the four of you!
Along with this work to calm your dogs with strong leadership, your best tool might be a loaded water gun, or spray bottle. No yelling. No whistle. No scolding. Just pick up the gun/bottle and spray the mounting dog in the face. When he dismounts he needs to be redirected: “find your ball”, “go to bed”, “bring me your toy” or “go outside” (this is why you need to teach these types of commands to your dog). The water needs to happen so fast, and with no fanfare — it works best if the dog never figures out that YOU are the one making the water happen. Keep the guns/bottles all over the house so you can get to one in a step or two. Don’t try to drown the mounting dog, it is just on shot to his head/face to startle him and break his focus on dominating the younger dog. It sets up the association in his mind that when he dominates the other dog, this uncomfortable and startling thing happens. The the redirection to a toy or bed channels his mind in a better activity.
Scolding, blowing whistles, and shouting escalate the excitement — you are barking along with them in the mind of a dog. Stop. Be calm. Calm, positive energy, and 15 mins of focused training 2 times per day (at least) is what is needed to improve the situation.
Good luck.

Anonymous this is just puppy behavior, not aggression…and this doesn’t need discipline, but it sure does need a lot of patience! your best bet, here? offer puppy-appropriate toys that can accommodate baby teeth – any petsmart or petco will carry them. i like plush toys as well as puppy-specific Nylabones and Kongs. every time he starts chewing on something he shouldn’t, say “no” gently but firmly and give him a chew-appropriate toy. it’s just that simple! at this age, too, he shouldn’t be more than a couple of feet from you – shut doors to rooms that aren’t puppy-proofed, and keep clothing and shoes out of his reach. be consistent, remove bad things from his reach, and eventually he’ll start going for things he knows are “his” without you telling him to do so.
now, every time that puppy nips you, squawk loudly like a puppy would and remove yourself from play. this might mean you leave the room and shut a door between you and the puppy…and it should just be for a couple of minutes, long enough to get the point across but not long enough to leave puppy unattended. be consistent. he’ll figure it out eventually!
good luck! puppies are a handful. i don’t envy your position at all. 😉

Anonymous PS: if you’re a wine drinker, invest in a case. you’ll need it, lol. when my girl was little we FREQUENTLY told her she’s why mommy cries and daddy drinks…but Doberman Pinscher puppies are tornadoes with teeth.

Anonymous vet.
any new pet in the household should head to the vet within the first 2-3 days of coming home, anyway. i’d get your dog in today, if possible…could have giardia or something else going on.
My boy dog terriers age 12 has got a pink nipple others are black and the pink one looks a little bigger and weeping a tiny bit of fluid do we need to get him to the vets?
assuming she’s clear of a UTI, at this point in time, you need to make sure she goes out every half hour.
yes, half hour. without fail. until she starts holding her urine for an hour, then you can back it up to every hour.
She’s urinating as usual but she is going to the vet’s in a few hours so I can ask about a UTI.
Could it be excitement from play time?

it’s very possible she’s overly excited, but i think it’s always best to rule out a UTI in cases of incontinence in bitch puppies. they seem to be prone to them when young. in fact, the only time mine urinated in her crate, she had a UTI.
good luck. 🙂
Thanks Laura, I will make sure she get’s checked 🙂
