    Hello Ed,
    I am sorry but the site was down for upgrades. It was down much longer than expected.
    I would always recommend that you stick with a reputable manufacturer like Nutramaxx. Unfortunately these are nutriceuticals, which are not overseen or mandated by the FDA so you are never really sure what you are getting unless you buy a respected brand. Nutramaxx products (most of them) are available OTC. Sorry for the delay

    I just need some advice help n e thing..

  2. Andrea Cox

    Advice is to get this animal the hell away from any other animal for a very long time. You are the responsible party here and you managed to get your injured dog in another fight!  

  3. Brittany sullivan

    No it’s my brothers dog and my dog it’s mom and daughter

  4. Brittany sullivan

    I am asking for dog owners no I did not manage to let them get in a fight they got in a fight cause randomly they don’t get along

  5. Sarah

    My advice would be to get to the vet asap again. Then keep the dogs separated at all costs. If that means revoking one, the. So be it. I would also consider dog training and a behaviorist for both your sake and the sake of the dog. This is a very serious situation and you need to treat it as such. You need to be extremely responsible and diligent about this. If you can’t live this dog like a family member, the. Find her a home where they can. She looks to you as her pack leader- safety is included in that description. Pleas see the vet and find a trainer and a behaviorist. Please.

  6. PK Dennis

    Take her back to the vet to make sure she is getting enough meds, etc.

    Females will fight to the death. It is your responsibility to make sure these dogs NEVER have an opportunity to fight again.

    And why are you allowing them to coexist? You should be crating and rotating which dog is out at any given time. It is YOURS and your brother’s job to prevent this from happening.

  8. PK Dennis

    I have to point out that there is NOTHING RANDOM about why and when dogs fight. You are just not experienced enough to spot what is setting these 2 off. Are they both spayed? Do it if the answer is no. Until you can get a behaviorist in to spot the problem, and train YOU and your family in how to fix it you have to keep these girls apart. If you can’t afford a behaviorist that will come to your home to work with you then you have to find a new home for one of these dogs. Seriously.

I Have An American Bulldog Who Is Almost 2 Years Old. Despite Training, He Is…

I have an American Bulldog who is almost 2 years old. Despite training, he is very aggressive towards other dogs. He was attacked by a pit bull, on our property, before he was a year old and every since will not tolerate any other dogs or any kind of animals for that matter. We have paid quite a bit for training to try and help him socialize but after a while he is back to his old self. No one will board him and we can’t take him anywhere that has a lot of people or other animals. He’s great at home and wonderful with our children, so I am at a loss s to what to do. He also has pretty bad hip problems and is in pain a lot if he gets a lot of exercise. I love him so much, as does my family, but I want to do the right, humane thing. Help.

    Hello, as an extreme animal lover, I say no, try to train and comfort as much as you can, but I don’t know you and I can’t tell you what to do. That’s the last case scenario. Good luck!

  2. Madelyn Fischer

    Hi Krista, I totally agree.

  3. Crystal Williams

    We have done two extensive training courses for his aggression . One two week program and one five week, away from home program.

She is a Bengal, approx 1 year old, de sexed and lives with a male tabby 5 years old also desexed. They are both healthy indoor cats. There have been no other behavioural changes, she’s very affectionate, eating and drinking well. No more or less than usual. The urine stains don’t show any signs of discolouration and don’t smell unusual or different from the other cat’s.

How Urgent Is A Hematoma? My Dog Developed One Last Night. I Know He Needs…

How urgent is a hematoma? My dog developed one last night. I know he needs to see a vet, but we’re Americans so tomorrow is a holiday. Can it wait until Tuesday, or do I need to get him to an emergency vet tonight?

    Thank you so much for your response! But I am aware of that – my question is how quickly this happens. So, wiill 24-48 hours make a considerable impact? His ears have been gently cleaned, and he’s been given his allergy meds.

  2. Elizabeth Fulda

    I took him to the emergency vet tonight, they confirmed it was a hematoma, but told me it wasn’t worth worrying about and could just take him to my regular vet in a few days.

    How old is this baby rabbit? Does it have its eye opened? If possible make a picture. Cow milk is not a good food for baby rabbits, it can cause bloating and pain for them and can lead to death.
    Try to find someone who has experience in wildlife rescue and let them show you how to care for it if you want to raise it yourself. This is really important. It’s always best to learn from someone experienced.

    But to get started: get special milk that is used to raise kittens (no ordinary catmilk). It needs to be mixed 1:1 (with lukewarm chamomile or fennel tea). Also give a drop of sab simplex inside, to ease bloating and belly pain.
    They need to be fed every 2-4 hours, depending on age (also at night!). With around two weeks they start nibbeling on solid food and with around 4 weeks they can eat the same as an adult rabbit can additionally to their milk. So depending on age you have to offer different herbs, grass, hay and everything that a rabbit would eat in the nature, so that it learns what it can eat. The more it gets to know the better.

    Do you massage it’s belly after each feeding time? Does it pee/poop?

    If it is older than 6 weeks it doesn’t need milk and more but special food (here it’s called herbi-care-plus). You start feeding this food mixed with milk at around the age of 4 weeks. You have to start very slowly, only a few drops, as they need to adapt to the new food.

    If you can’t find womeone to show you, read as much as you can about raising rabbits. It’s not an easy task.

  2. Chasity Knighten

    Yes. The eyes and ears are opened and it has a full coat.

  3. Chasity Knighten

    And yes it is using the bathroom.

    This sounds like a potential blockage.  Please get your dog to the vet NOW…DO NOT wait on this.  Blockages and obstructions are usually fatal if not handled quickly.

Hope Dr. Magnifico Is Reading This Message Soon As I Do Not Know What To…

Hope Dr. Magnifico is reading this message soon as I do not know what to do. I noticed one of my cats, Dexter, attempting to pee on a cardboard box outside of the litter box. When I approached him he moved only to go to another area and attempt to pee. Having male cats blocked before or with UTI, I knew to keep watch on him. He was laying down and let me brush him for a while and acting okay. I then took a moist tissue and just patted his pee/butt area and a dried piece of poo came off. I thought yeah… that may be the problem because he immediately went to the litter box. After about 5 minutes he left the box without going to the bathroom. Should I take him to the emergency room or could it wait until you open in the morning. If you think I need to take him, which one do you recommend the most. Thanks Sandy Brown
