He just goes around sniffing and eating whatever he finds in my yard, and when i take what he takes and throw it away in the trash (which is in my yard) he goes to take it again whenever i am away from it.
My dog ignores me when called, he comes to my mom immediately once he is called so am i doing anything wrong, i show my love for the dog as much as i can but it seems that he just naturally doesn’t like me.
Is your dog a new dog? Is your mom a new person to your dog? For the first 2 or 3 months of having my puppy, she responded emotionally less to me as well. She is more affectionate to my husband because she barely sees him, so she likes him more. Also, it’s beneficial to always reward with a treat every time.
Thnx for your feedback, I’ll try to improve my relation with him.
Hi krista.. 3 puppies from this litter of 4 died.. the only one left is too afraid and doesn’t eat at all. What can we possibly do?
She has a lot of falls while walking around and doesn’t come out during fay usually.. also is she still too young to mate?
YES, she is too young to mate, and i would NEVER breed a dog with health problems! that’s irresponsible. spay her, please.
to clarify: under the age of 2 is irresponsible, as the dog has not had an opportunity to mature properly. it would like letting a 12 year old girl have a baby. she isn’t mentally or physically prepared to handle a litter of puppies and it could cause her to have difficulties with nursing properly.
allowing her to breed when she’s unable to walk is appalling. i can’t fathom why anyone would consider this acceptable.
i’m STILL disgusted by this post. i honestly cannot believe someone thinks this is a good idea.
i applaud your optimism. knowing the standard of pet care in India, i can’t be that optimistic.
He’s a mixed breed 3 month and 9 days old pup.. he’s not a pet .he’s a stray but we wanna save him .
What could be causing a lose stool in my 2 year old Pitt bull
Hi,
We have an almost 13 year old chocolate lab named Koko. About 5 weeks ago, she had a seizure. We took her into the vet and they prescribed Phenobarbital to help control the seizures. Since then, she has been incontinent in the house, and has to go outside very frequently (which is a side effect to this medication). This is a problem when my husband and i both work Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. She has accidents in the house almost every day. Thankfully we put her in our laundry room which has wood floors so clean up is a little easier, but it still is stressful being that she usually pees, and then walks through it all day long tracking it everywhere in that room and gets urine all over herself. Especially when she has seizures, she paces for hours afterwards until finally calming down. We have tried NUMEROUS different types of diapers, doggy diapers (vets best from Petco, womens depends, XXL childrens diapers) and even tried buying suspenders and attaching those onto the diapers and around her to try to keep it on, but NOTHING stays on throughout the whole day. I just bought the “Dog Diaper Keeper” off Amazon today so I am crossing my fingers that it’ll work, if not i dont know what to do.
Besides that, my husband and I also have noticed that she has become increasingly anxious during the day and night time. She has always been on the more anxious side but lately it’s been getting worse, fast.
Since starting the Phenobarbital, she has had 3 more bigger seizures that we are aware of and since then have been to the vet and they have also prescribed Potassium Bromide which she is taking alongside the Phenobarb. We also noticed she started having facial seizures which the vet said could either mean the Phenobarb/Potassium Bromide are working and controlling the bigger seizures, or if the facial seizures continue along with big seizures it could be time for a CT scan.
In the last couple weeks, she has begun to wake up very early in the morning (3am) barking. We thought that maybe she was scared to be alone since having seizures, or is starting to get Alzheimer’s. Her kennel is in our living room so we thought that moving her into our room would help knowing that we were there, but it hasn’t. We also take her outside to go to the bathroom and that doesn’t seen to solve anything either. We are afraid to feed her too early because we don’t want her to get in the habit of eating that early in the morning. We have tried everything we can think of and she still continues to bark at all hours in the morning. The vet also prescribed her Diazapam to calm her down after seizures, but we are reluctant to use that to calm her down just because she is barking at night and hasn’t had a seizure.
We fully understand that it’s not her fault, and that she is getting old and is needing some extra TLC. But we feel so bad because we can’t figure out what she needs/wants. We desperately want to help her and keep her comfortable throughout the night.
Do you or anyone else have any advice for us? For the early morning barking or the diaper issue? Anything is greatly appreciated!

Her gums are pink, eyes and breathing normal. What do you think this could be?
She is eating and drinking water. She still moves around and jumps. She is breathing fine,no runny nose,and only that one eye
My 6 mo beagle swallowed a 1 inch plastic spike from a bacon wrapped tenderloin, will he pass this?
