Debbie Untitled It worries me a bit to tell you the truth, can dogs sleepwalk?
My Parents Have An 8 Month Old Chihuahua That Has Always Been Very Energetic, Playful…
My parents have an 8 month old chihuahua that has always been very energetic, playful and loving. All of a sudden she became extremely lethargic, seems unbalanced, dry nose and she is constantly licking her chops and from time to time opens her jaw wide and paws at the inside of her mouth. It’s been a couple weeks now and she is not back to normal. She’s been to the vet twice and they can’t find anything. Could it be neurological or possibly something in her mouth they can’t find?

Kate McKelvie Did they check bloodwork, or consider sedation in order to explore the back of her mouth, soft pallet? I would consider a second opinion, if not…

Whitney Grim Blood work and xrays came back normal and they did sedate her and check her mouth. The only other option is to find specialists and my parents just can’t afford it right now. Not sure what to do from here.

julie brader Chelsea you need to take her to a Vet to find whats causing this. Your dog is in great pain to the point of causing swelling when she tries to defecate. Please don’t leave her like this any longer, she needs help.

Chelsea Sweeney Yes, I know this already. I have an appointment this week but in the meantime trying to find something that might give her relief as I am very aware that this is painful for her.

My Girlfriend And I Are Getting 2 French Bulldog Puppies. How Long Do Use A…
My girlfriend and I are getting 2 french bulldog puppies. How long do use a crate after they are done housing training? I feel once they are house broken they should be free to roam. She feels they should always have it.

julie brader Hi Brian……..its your decision of course but I would never advise anyone to get two puppies at the same time. Wait until the first one is 18 months or so then get another one.
Anyhow…..back to crates. Its really up to the individual whether you crate your dogs or not. They are very useful though. Never use them as a punishment, crates should be a happy place for dogs to go. If you cover them, leaving the door section uncovered they make a great “den” and dogs love dens.
If you decide to carry on with the crates after housetraining you can leave the door open for the dog to go in and out as they wish. If you need to go out and make sure the dog is safe pop them in the crates. Its really not fair to leave a dog locked up for hours though. You can buy water bowls which clip on the crate so the dog has water too.
Unless you are absolutely certain your dogs will be safe to roam around the house, plants are gone so they can’t chew on them ect then I would definately keep the crates.
Good luck and have fun with your puppies!

Brian Adrian Why do you suggest waiting to get the second puppy? Our biggest fear is the puppy having seperation anxiety and feel with two puppies (siblings) they would comfort eachother.
I leave work at 6 and am home by 4, my girlfriend leaves work at 8:30 and is home at 5:30 but plans to come home at noon to let them out. How long is too long to have them in the crate?

julie brader Hi again Brian, I understand your logic of having two puppies if you both work. Make sure you get a nice big cage so they have room to move-and think of them as adults when you buy it.
This is my personal opinion and I probably shouldn’t be airing it here lol
Having a puppy is, believe me, like having a baby in the house. To care for one puppy, housetrain, basic training, socialising and financial costs (believe me there will be) is very hard work and time consuming. To do all this for two is twice all of the above.
However, if you and your girlfriend are both prepared to dedicate a lot of time and effort to a puppy each it would work.
As for how long to leave them in crates….I know people leave puppies and dogs in them day in day out. Yours would have to be in crates for quite a while as you both work.
I guess its up to the owner but you may have problems with housetraining them….puppies ideally need to be put outside every hour or so for them to get the message.
I’m probably the wrong person to ask about this as I wouldn’t let a puppy go to someone who works all day…..again my personal opinion.
You seem to have given this a lot of thought and I’m sure it will all work out….it will be hard work for you both to start with though.
So good luck and enjoy your dogs.. I hope you have many happy years together. ?

julie brader I am so very sorry to hear this. How sad for you.
If she was bleeding like that it sounds like some sort of poison…..possibly Rat Poison. You wouldn’t know for sure unless you had a necropsy carried out by your Vet though.

alex aza thanks very much. unfortunately we already bury her.

Hello Ash,
A rabbits diet should generally consist of 90% hay, and 10% pellets. Veggies are given as treats. The primary hay used in my experience is Timothy but you can also try Oat Hay, Meadow Grass or Orchard Grass (any grass hay). In the US a well known brand it “Oxbow”. If you do not have access to different types of hay maybe you can order online. I hope your rabbit starts to eat more soon!
Diedra
he has Timothy hay constantly but doesn’t eat it,never has and I’ve been giving him veggies everyday as that’s all he will eat so if I don’t he won’t eat anything, I hope he starts eating soon,it’s not like him
