Christina Chambreau Even if you think it merely mucus (clear, thick, etc as Krista said) and decide not to go to your vet, this is now a time to begin thinking holistically, realizing that there are a lot of very minor symptoms that can indicate an internal imbalance – see more at http://christinachambreau.com/learn-more/free-articles/early-warning-signs/early-warning-signs-of-ill-health. Feeding fresh food, not vaccinating except for rabies, avoiding chemicals (in food, fleas, yard, house, etc) and learning Reiki or other healing methods will help you deal with discharges of pus or mucus.
My puppy (6 month lab/curr mix) is terrified of strangers. She barks and growls whenever she is exposed to people outside of my family. This behavior started at 3 months. With training and positive exposure, will she ever grow out of it?

We have an 8 wk old puppy that loves to chew our dining rm chairs. I have numerous chew toys for her. Is rawhide okay to give her? Is there any product I can apply to chairs?

Kelly Furgason Hi Kathy,
There are a few things you can try. Offering other types of toys for her is one suggestion, there are toys that you can put small treats into, and the puppy can roll them along and a treat comes out. They keep them distracted from chewing. Also change up and rotate the toys you have so that they seem “new” and interesting.
They make commercial sprays you can apply on furniture for this purpose, I’ve also heard people having success with putting hot pepper spray on furniture to deter them. Bitter Apple spray seems to work the best in my opinion (they sell this at most pet supply stores)
I personally do not like rawhides, primarily because they are easy for a dog to choke on when they becomes slimy, soft and small. So unless you are supervising your puppy when they are using them at all times, I would avoid them.
There are super hard bones (marrow bones) that you can get that most dogs LOVE. They even are some that are filled with peanut butter or other fillings to keep a dogs interest. Try also offering antlers-most dogs go crazy for them and they are sold at most pet supply stores.
Finally, make sure your puppy is getting lots and lots of exercise and walks outside. This alone will often lesson the problem.
Enjoy your new pup!

So what the heck makes a dog’s stomach quite upset for about 3hrs and then all seems normal again without vomiting?

Anything to create a barrier to protect the skin from Wandering Jew? ? T-shirt not likely to work, how about liquid bandage type of thing?

Today, twice, Cookie had a longish string of “snot” hanging from her pee pee region while on the walk. She seems fine otherwise, pays no attention to it and I haven’t seen any since. Woot is that about now? (seemed odorless and colorless)
Is it still epilepsy if my dog only had a seizure at age 5 and then 9?

Is it possible for a dog to be epileptic but only has had one at age 5 then at age 9?
