Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about your guinea pig. Try to keep her warm and try to see a vet as quickly as possible. 8. Years old is very old for them and your vet would need to see your pig to help provide guidance and advice if she is not well.

I Have A 9-year-old 5 Pound Chihuahua With A Collapsed Trachea. He Has Been On…
I have a 9-year-old 5 pound chihuahua with a collapsed trachea. He has been on hydrocodone on and off for a few months now, and it does not seem to help at all, even at the maximum dosage. He was put on steroids which worked well for the first 2-3 weeks, but they stopped working all together before he was even done taking them. Is there any other medication out there that could possibly help? He is still eating, drinking, going to the bathroom etc without any issues, just a horrible constant cough that keeps him up half the night and I’m certain must be painful for him.

Krista Magnifico Hello,
My very good friends dog had excellent response and recovery with diet change, weight loss and lomotil. Please ask your vet about these. We also provided nebulizer treatment and significantly restricted exercise and stress.
Only Aggressive With Food, And Only Started To Outwardly Be Aggressive With Food This Week…
Only aggressive with food, and only started to outwardly be aggressive with food this week. Other than that they get along fine.
My German Shepard is gentle with humans, this aggression is only towards my other dog. ( I can hand feed my german, she sits and only eats when I tell her to.) My peke is not showing aggression or challenging my german.

Anonymous I would immediately change your feeding schedule. Feed in separate rooms through whelping and until the litter has been sold. GSDs are known for moderate same sex aggression…throwing pregnancy into that mix increases that instinct.
Your breed mentor should have told you this.
-
Anna Soparno This was definitely an unplanned pregnancy, I had only had her for a week or two before she went into heat (She only just turned a year in July.) And we are new to the area so ironically there is a male Shepard down the road who did as he pleased while Danu (my Shepard,) was tied up. I did not know they are known for moderate same sex aggression so that is very helpful. I am having low confidence lately concerning whether or not Danu is a good fit for our home and if this can be broken even after the litter is gone.

Anonymous SSA is temperament, not training. It *cannot* be trained out. She may go back to “normal” once the puppies are gone…or she may not. Give her time, at least, to get the hormones out of her system before you decide to rehome her again.
If you do, please go through a German Shepherd rescue to get her placed. This will ensure she goes to an appropriate, experienced GSD home.
-
Anna Soparno There seems to only be aggression when food is involved, not toys or anything like that, but I can tell my first dog, Ladybird, the Peke mix, is not relaxed at all. So in theory, if Danu was male we would not be having this issue?
-
Anna Soparno also, danu is not fully German Shepard, she has rottie in her as well, don’t know if this makes any a difference, and her original house hold Danu had to fight with many other dogs in a small home, not have access to food and water for weeks, it was bad living conditions.
-
Anonymous Well, like I said, she *may* go back to normal afterward. Regardless, do NOT allow them to eat in the same room.
It sounds like Danu has a lot of issues. If I may ask, why didn’t you terminate the pregnancy early?
-
Anna Soparno Danu, despite her original environment has come a long way since when we first got her, and it has only been up to this week has she shown such aggression. So its really taken me aback, because this is not her, I would not allow a dog into my home that would cause hazard to my animals. I did not terminate the pregnancy early because quite frankly, we did not know FOR SURE she was pregnant. She was not showing normal symptoms or signs.
-
Anna Soparno and right now, they are both sleeping, no issues, previously Danu licked ladybird in good gesture, so I know the trigger is food.
-
Anonymous Noted.
Well, hormones make everyone do crazy things, including our dogs. I think, once the puppies have been rehomed (please use a rescue to help you with that, to ensure they end up in appropriate homes), get her in an obedience class. It’s impossible to say just how she’ll behave once she’s no longer nursing and is spayed, you know?
-
Anna Soparno Absolutely, I just want to make sure I am taking the necessary steps to create a harmonious environment. I have never dealt with pregnancy in dogs, it was certainly not something I was looking forward to, but I guess the perfect storm occurred. I do appreciate you talking with me for I was freaking out this morning, I just hope things go well, and I will make sure the pups are in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing and are qualified.
My Cat, Mitsi, Is 18 Years Old. She Doesn’t Have Any Signs If The Urinary…
My cat, Mitsi, is 18 years old. She doesn’t have any signs if the urinary tract infections or lumps or bumps. She has no problem going in her litter box though occasionally she trips and pees when she is getting in the box (it’s only 4 or 5 inches high).
To be more specific with her scratching, she has done it for years but now she screams and pees when she does it.
She’s peeing on everything now and a couple times a day, I don’t know what to do anymore.
My family doesn’t have enough money to take her to the vet and due to her age they probably wouldn’t let me, but thank you for any help!
She has no problem eating or drinking and she pukes every once in a while as she’s always done. Besides the scratching and peeing , she’s just like she’s always been.

Eric Foster Krista, Thank you for answering and yes it passed thru his system last night.
However we did end up taking him to the Vet because we become over worried parents. They tried a suction system which help dislodge some of the corn cob so between the suction system and watered down formula, it passed thru.

She does not have worms or fleas. Her skin doesn’t look irritated and she has been eating the same food since we have had her. I was just wondering what this could be and what I could do about it to help her hair.

Anonymous It could be mange. Get her to the vet for a skin scrape to determine the cause.
-
Ashley Schauner I read that mange is contagious and I have 3 other dogs. None of them losing hair like her. Do you think it could be her losing her puppy hair to grow in the adult hair?

Anonymous There are two types of mange.
Bald patches are not normal.

Brittany sullivan I just need some advice help n e thing..
-
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!
-
Brittany sullivan No it’s my brothers dog and my dog it’s mom and daughter
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
Anonymous 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.
-
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.
Hello,
If you got the dewormer from your vet they need to be notified as soon as possible. If this was an over the counter dewormer please see a vet immediately. If your dog is sick and if she is not acting normally I recommend you seek immediate veterinary assistance at the emergency clinic. Please never buy or use OTC dewormers without your vets ok first. They are terribly toxic in my opinion and I have seen them cause more problems than they solve. A vomiting puppy should always be considered an emergency as they are very fragile and can dehydrate quickly.
