Lisa Pfab Since you have multiple dogs it may be easier, because they are used to other dogs. Do it in a fenced area, I would say outside, with plenty of room. Is the new dog a puppy? That will really change things. Most adult dogs realize a puppy is a puppy and not a threat to the pack dominance order, but that it will grow up in the pack and will fall into the pack order naturally. A full grown dog is a different story. Which ever of your dogs is the dominant one will feel a threat, so you need to let them be introduced I think one at a time, with the dominant one going first. Let them smell each others butts, its what they do. I would have the new dog on a leash, and if your current dog is trust worthy and listens very well, let that dog be off leash, only in an enclosed area. Do not do it in a crowded space, as they will feel confined and that will not help.
I am by far not an expert, but I have had at least three dogs for a long time, and have introduced someone to our pack on several occasions.
It really depends on how well trained your current dogs are as well.
Good luck! -
julie brader I think Eddie has a 6 year old female and wants to add a 2 year old female? You may have problems with 2 Pitbull bitches….I would imagine they can be same breed agressive. You would need to introduce them on neutral ground and let them get to know each other first. Make sure they each have their own space at home if they need it….separate feeding bowls, beds ect. Plus I would make sure you can put them in different rooms if necessary. It depends on the temperament of both the dogs aa to how they will get along. Good luck.

The Skin On Her Muzzle Under The Fur Seems Pinker Than Normal, Too. Also, Her…
The skin on her muzzle under the fur seems pinker than normal, too. Also, her nose seems to itch (she rubs her nose area vigorously against my fingers, not just normal face rubbing) and gets a little dark crust around the edges. I noticed her nose running with a little clear discharge while I was petting her, but I read that it’s common for a cat’s nose to run when it purrs, so I didn’t think that was part of this. Her ears itch, as well. They don’t have an odor and I don’t see anything in them. Sometimes the fur on her chin will be discolored with a reddish/orangish tint and I noticed an area of dried liquid with a light tinge of brown around the border where she’d been sleeping this morning. Is this an allergy? I have more pictures I can post that show the crustiness on her nose and her upper lip from below.

Kelly Furgason Hello,
I’m not sure if it’s the angle of the photo or not, but your kitty looks like it’s upper mouth and general face area is swollen and really distorted and does not look typical.The brown/reddish color you describe reminds me of exactly how dried flea dirt (blood) looks. So make sure that you examine her carefully with a flea comb to see if that is an issue for her.
If she was an outside “feral” cat, be sure to get her tested for Felv/Fiv as well as a vet checkup to rule out upper respiratory infections, a rabies vaccine and distemper vaccine and spay would be good too–if you haven’t already done that. I’d take a trip to the vet to have her mouth/face examined.
Good luck!

Beth Burchard Thank you, Kelly! It’s the angle of the picture. I had a normal looking one to post, but this one shows her mouth better. She does have fleas. I gave her an Rx oral med from the vet a month ago and it didn’t work. So I gave her a combo of Capstar and Program last night and have a spray to spray what I can’t wash to get any remaining eggs & larva. Maybe she has a flea allergy and this will be what she needs.
I’ve done TNR with 8 feral cats over the past year. She was about 5 months old when I took her, but has been very much untamed and fearful of the sight of me until about 3 months ago when I discovered the power of fish. In that time she has begun sleeping and spending much of her days in the house (I put in a cat door and she still insists on using the big “litter box” outside instead of the one I got her. Just this week she started climbing up on me when I’m lying down and using me for her bed. =) I can pet her just about any way I want to without getting injured now, but I can’t pick her up or do anything that seems threatening to her without her running and hiding (i.e. walking fast, carrying the mail, any attempt to use anything on her except my hand). So catching her to take to the vet has had me in a quandary. The humane trap is too traumatic for her AND me. I stopped by the vet’s office today and they said they could give me a sedative to give her so she would be sleeping and I could bring her in. She had a rabies shot when she was spayed, but she’ll need another one in November. And she hasn’t been tested for FeLV/Fiv.
That’s TMI, I know. I tend to get wordy, but thank you so much for your response! I will definitely take your advice now that I know there’s a way to get her to the vet without trauma, and hopefully we’ll get this taken care of quickly.

julie brader Has your Guniea Pig been diagnosed with Chlamydia? If not then this needs diagnosis by a Vet and he will advise you on the antibiotics needed. We cannot tell you on here what medication to use, you need to Consult a Vet. Please don’t administer human medication as this can be very toxic to animals.
Last Week He Cried And It Was Bleeding Underneath His Nail On His Back Paw…
Last week he cried and it was bleeding underneath his nail on his back paw. We stopped the bleeding and he seemed to be ok besides favoring it a little and licking. We eased up on his physical activity for a few days and he seemed to go back to normal. Yesterday morning he started bleeding a little and won’t let me get close look at the paw and licks it more. He still loves to play and eats normally. Is it something that will heal on its own or should I take him in to see our vet?

Lisa Pfab that looks infected, he probably broke a nail under the skin and it has gotten infected. I would take him to the vet. You could soak his paw in warm water and epsom salts and it may help the pain some

Briana Benson Thanks so much! I’m waiting until my vet office opens to call.

julie brader Hello Chevy…..the symptoms you describe, the arched back, not wanting to jump and lethargy show your Yorkie is in a lot of pain. He needs to see a Vet urgently. He could have a serious back injury, intestinal problem or numerous other things. Please take him straight to the Vet urgently, this could get worse quickly.
I hope hes alright….and good luck!

Robin Laybolt Hi Annette, well the good news is it doesn’t sound like ear mites cause if it was you would be in trouble, when a cat has ear mites the discharge is a black color. The problem you do have is white or cream colored discharge could be any number of things. What i do when my cats get a ear infection is use white vinegar and water, in a little container put 50%water and 50% vinegar then you put 2 little drops in each ear, if you are useing a big dropper then only put 1 drop in each ear then let your cat go for 5-10 minutes then wipe inside the ear not the canal just outside the canal with a cotton ball and also around the outside of the ear to make sure you wipe up all the dirt and whatever else is in your cats ear. Repeat this twice a day once in the morning and once at night. This always works for my cats so i hope it will for you. If you see after two days that there is no improvment please contact your vet, cause sometimes what works for one cat may not always work for another. Also if you start to smell a odor coming from your cats ear please contact your vet. Good luck and i hope your cat gets the help that he needs.

Annette Brown Thanks for the advice, I took that advice n went to the vet today. She had a ear infection, n the vet treated her. He said I caught it right away. So thanks for the advice, I will also use the recipe if need to forward my outside cats. Thanks again annette
you can try tuna packed in water to get him to eat. but you need to see a vet asap.
Planning on the vet trip today. The loud moaning when he moves is whats got me concerned. I will definitely try the tuna packs. Thank u
It sounds like your cat might have something broke. I’m glad you have a vet appointment. I hope your cat will be ok.
Thank u Robin. Well the vet said he has a hairball that he is having a hard time getting up so he recieved some meds to help with it. Hopefully hel b back to normal soon. Thanks for the advice ?
