    Looks like a husky — the odds are pretty good they will stay blue.  What a pretty pup!

Can Having Eaten A Whole Bunch Of Grass (about A Handful As It Seems) Be…

Can having eaten a whole bunch of grass (about a handful as it seems) be a sole cause of an upset gut? (dog, whole blades)

    She wasn’t vomiting, just had pad poop. Started out normal and then got soft and liquid at the very end, with a bunch of attempts and a bunch of grass came out. Her stomach wasn’t upset yesterday at all, when it is, she’ll eat grass but refuse breakfast. She ate her breakfast with enthusiasm and everything else she got to eat yesterday as well.

    So to me it seems that the grass must have come with some extra flavor or something yesterday, because while she routinely likes to eat SOME, or she eats some when upset stomach, she doesn’t normally gorge on grass; this is the first time such amounts came out of her.

    Hubby was upset about the diarrhea which her morning poop ended up with but upon close inspection, after the normal size chunk of normal poop, a bit of pudding which already contained a bundle of grass, what came out after was mostly grass with a bit of “snot” on it; not even any major amount of mucus.

    As over-concerned as I usually am, I do feel that the grass is the reason why the gut had the need to purge so vigorously. It appears that large bowel is the only thing that’s not happy.

    All our dogs always ate grass; usually just nibble on it a bit in the morning, when the grass is young or when there is fresh dew on it. Boys usually eat enough to throw up, girls typically don’t eat enough to cause any upset other than sometimes having poops strung together by a blade.

    We don’t feed table scraps, though we do feed “human” food, such as turkey breast, steak, roast etc. Always plain and lean, no fat and nothing on it that could upset stomachs.

    So I’m really just wondering whether the grass alone could have upset the large bowel to this degree or whether there could be something else going on at the same time unrelated.

My Pitbull Is Pregnant And She Has Been Leaking Milk For About 2 Weeks. She…

My pitbull is pregnant and she has been leaking milk for about 2 weeks. She has been digging under the table but still hasn’t had her puppies. Could she be holding them in? And what should I do?

    have you called your vet about this?  they’re aware she’s pregnant, right?  i would be asking them.

  2. Lisa Pfab

    How many days pregnant is she? If she is past 63 days you need to get her seen by the vet.  It sounds like she is nesting. Is there any leakage from her vulva? Have you been taking her temp? A dogs temp will drop to around 99 degrees when they are about to give birth.  The first thing you need to do is determine how many days pregnant she is, then perhaps a vet visit.

    my neighbor does.  he walks his boy 4 miles a day, plays fetch with him, then sends him to my yard to play with my doberman.

    what’s your question?

    Just need to know I’m not alone lol

    they can certainly be a challenge, but if you work his brain, he’ll be quite a bit more manageable. 🙂 what sort of training do you do with him?

  4. Ashley Labelle

    Not much lately but I could run her for 10 hours and she still goes she doesn’t stop and she’s close to psychotic and I mean jumps 2 feet in the air every 5 seconds lol.

  5. Anonymous

    yeah…work on training. just a half hour of training will wear her out…i’m serious! 🙂 plus, poods are SO smart that she could pick up something useful. what does she know beyond basic obedience? have you considered something like nosework or lure coursing?

  6. Ashley Labelle

    I don’t do much really and if I knew what that was I would try it! I have 4 dogs and it’s a full time job lol I was trying to find a trainer in my area but there’s no one 🙁

  7. Anonymous

    well, fortunately, you can train nosework at home! you can also train basic obedience at home. a good source for training courses would be Denise Fenzi’s online sport dog training: http://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/

    nosework is scent detection, and it REALLY wears their brains out! http://fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/courses/15

    good luck. i know how tough dogs can be – we just have our doberdork, because i honestly would NOT be able to handle trying to train two dogs, let alone 4!

  8. Ashley Labelle

    Our other dogs are older and pretty good and calm. She’s young and just out of control! Thanks for the link 🙂

    Hi Dale,
    I’m not a vet, just lifelong experience with a variety of animals, but until a vet see’s your post I’ll chime in. . Prior to giving your dog any supplements or other pills you should consult your vet to determine if the supplement is needed or not. Sometimes an underlying condition could be the cause of your pets problem. At 15yrs old, that’s pretty senior for a lab and I’d be thinking at this point your pet may need a heavier type of medication to help with the stiffness and pain involved with getting up.
    Looking forward to what vet’s reply.
    Good luck!

VitaHound is continually evaluating and searching for highly dependable dog care resources. Over the past 20 years we have assembled a directory of the top organizations to reference for canine care issues by category. We are currently evaluating our selection of Pet Poison help lines and or Websites. Our current recommendation is http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/, our staff would truly appreciate the opinion of pet owners on this source and suggestions on other sources. This site currently is for profit and a current survey of pet owners indicates the fees involved in any pet care service creates a real barrier to access.

Hi!
First I would like to mention that we took our dog to see the vet here but he didn’t know what to do to help.
We have have a Daschund. She is quite old – 11 years. And recently was diagnosed with diabetis. She has been shivering and weak since yesterday. What could be the problem?

    Hello Annija.

    Shivering and weakness can be common symptoms of unregulated diabetes and so many other conditions. Because unregulated diabetes can become life-threatening if left unmanaged, you need to seek proper medical care for her; either at your regular veterinarian or request a referral to a specialist.

    With the proper care, 11 year olds can lead many more years of a good life.

My dog ate a wooden skewer. I was just wondering if there as anything I could do to help the pieces pass easier?

    If you actually saw him eat the object and you believe it can pass http://www.snowdog.guru/what-to-do-if-your-husky-swallows-a-foreign-object/I strongly recommend getting in contact with a vet, especially if it was large or there could have been more he ate. Call an emergency hospital near you. It is much easier to remove objects, if that’s what needs to be done, without a full GI system from these “bulking” diets. So there are risks to them you need to understand. Feeding soft bread and wet dog food can help in some circumstances.

  2. julie brader

    Hi Anissa, I can’t help but be concerned about how sharp the peices of wood will be. If one or more hit your dogs intestines at the wrong angle they could perforate easily.
    Perhaps you should consult a Vet about this and see what he says. I’m not convinced feeding bread will be enough to protect his stomach.
    Hope hes ok.

My Cat Has A Wound On His Tail. We Don’t Know Where The Wound Came…

My cat has a wound on his tail. We don’t know where the wound came from, but it looks like a scratch, it’s not very big, and we suspect it came from a mean neighborhood cat.

However, it has a weird strand of something coming out of it that has me worried. It’s thin, about 2.5 inches / 6 cm long, roughly tan colored except in a few places where it’s dark and more red, and about halfway down its length it becomes very thin, kind of like a hair. It does seem to be affixed to his tail, though I’m not sure if it’s actually coming out of the wound.

Here’s an album with a few pictures of it: http://imgur.com/a/bTck4

Touching it is obviously uncomfortable for my cat. Occasionally he’ll lick it, and I’ve seen him chewing at it a few times as though he’s trying to get rid of it. Other than that, I see no change in his behavior. His tail still has its full range of movement.

What is this thing? Is it serious enough that we should take him to a vet?

    Just took him to the vet, and they found that the scratch on his tail was bigger than we thought and the thing sticking out was nerve tissue!

    Fortunately they bandaged him up, gave him an antibiotic, and he’s going to be okay.
