Krista Magnifico I always recommend seeking help from your vet to make sure it isn’t a medical issue. Often the only way these pets can show pain or discomfort is with a change in attitude or behavior.

Baz Jarvis Training. They have some good behavioral classes you can take them too. Look online around your local area
9/23/16 2 Yr Old Maltese Has IVDD And Has A Cervical Issue. We Didn’t Take…
9/23/16 2 yr old Maltese has IVDD and has a cervical issue. We didn’t take him to the neurologist, but chose to treat with medication. He was paralyzed is all but one front leg. Never lost deep pain. It’s been two weeks of crate confinement and he is much better. He can sit and has even stood a couple of times.
My question is, how long does he need to stay confined in a small space? Do i let him try to stand?

Dawn Ferara, DVM I usually cage rest dogs like this for at least 6-8 weeks and recheck them at least once or twice during the this time.
Hello, I’m Aspiring To Become A Veterinarian. I’m Currently In A Community College. For One…
Hello, I’m aspiring to become a veterinarian. I’m currently in a community college. For one of my school projects, I need to interview someone in the career field. I was wondering if I could email one of your vets or private message you on this site. I have about 10 questions that hopefully won’t take long to answer. Thank you for your time.
1. What made you decide to become a veterinarian?
2. In your opinion what is the hardest subject in school for vets?
3. How did you handle that subject? Do you have any tips or advice for a student in that field?
4. Have you ever questioned your decision to become a vet?
5. Do you have any advice or recommendations on the hours needed before being accepted into a vet university?
6. What school did you attend and what was your degree for, besides A.S.?
7. What is your favorite part about being a vet? Least favorite?
8. What is the hardest part about being a vet?
9. What advice, if any, do you have for a student aspiring to become a vet?
10. What advice would you have liked to have when you were becoming a veterinarian?

Krista Magnifico It is important to get experience in a vets office. In US schools it is mandatory. I recommend that you volunteer with a vet and over time ask these questions. Good luck

Krista Magnifico 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.

Krista Magnifico Hello,
I cannot tell you what is wrong but she ABSOLUTELY NEEDS A VET! Please go as quickly as possible. If you think she is in pain and if she is lethargic and poorly responsive why hasn’t she seen the vet?
I really hope she gets to the vet soon (like tomorrow morning) and that she is ok.
I expect that she will need an examination, xray and bloodwork to help understand what is wrong and provide her an appropriate treatment plan to help her feel better.
I Have A 16 Month Old Shih Tzu Who Will Not Stop Eliminating In Her…
I have a 16 month old Shih Tzu who will not stop eliminating in her crate. She is a house dog so she has a spot in the house that she goes. She knows where this spot is and she will use it with no problem but as soon as I put her in the crate and walks away she will pee and poop in there instead of waiting. She also lays in it and steps in it and its so frustrating…any advice?

Anonymous She has been taught that inside the house = potty. That means *anywhere* inside the house. Eliminate the pee pads and start taking her outside every single time. Make the spot in the crate just large enough for her to lie down and turn around. Take her out every hour and praise her when she eliminates outside.
Also, thoroughly clean the crate with white vinegar and/or an enzyme cleaner.
My Cat Just Loves To Chew On Wires.. Any Ideas About How To Keep Her…
My cat just loves to chew on wires.. Any ideas about how to keep her from electrocuting herself?

Laura Spray the wires with Bitter Apple.
Keep her out of the rooms where wires are. -
Dawn Ferara, DVM I would try keeping her away from all wires and using a spray bottle of water to discipline her anytime she approaches a wire. Good luck
-
Chris Wieland Rabbits are always chewing on wires. We protect the rabbit by putting heavy plastic tubing on lamp cords, and any other power cords. Get a thick plastic tube from something like Amazon or an auto supply store. Carefully, make a cut using a sharp blade the entire length of the tube. Then spread apart and use it to cover the power cord. Now they are safe for cat biting.

Nicholas P. Woodward Post author Thank you, all! I’m going to try all of this and see how we do =)
-
Nicholas P. Woodward Post author FYI- I’ve been having luck with the spray bottle of water to some degree and Bitter Apple – working on trying the heavy plastic tubing around the wires next, but it’s just a big process (I’m a computer guy.. got lots of wires everywhere lol).
-
Nicholas P. Woodward Post author I wonder.. Would tin foil work the same way as plastic tubing?
-
Chris Wieland Foil will not do the trick. The plastic tubing keeps them from coming in contact with the electrical wires with could injure or kill them. The foil, if bitten, would only serve to increase the possibility of an electrical short, or having them make contact with the electrical current. The tubing is not a psychological deterrent, but a physical one.

Chris Wieland Please see

Turner Halligan Did any of these methods work for you?

Krista Magnifico doesnt matter when it started,, only matters your pupp is too young for any diarrhea.
Laura Miedzianowski
she is not going throught obidience classes
we were told she is to smart for them…
at 4 months she new Sit, Stay, Come, Lye Down, Leave it and go fetch…
so i dont know why she still goes crazy and jumps on me, she bites hard and goes CRAZY…
She listens sometimes but we think that she may have established that i am only her playate what do u think?
First things first: She’s a puppy! Puppies are CRAZY.
Have you gone through obedience training classes with her? I strongly suggest them…they help build the bond with your puppy, and will absolutely help you get her to focus on you.
I have been watching that very same behaviour now the trainer in this case says that she goes mad and causes chaos because she might a not now how to interact properly with other dogs as when u were told your pups to clever did that end the socilazing with other animals and there owners ..do u walk or interact much with other dogs on your walk has she been on a pack walk with u and other dogs also if she is on a leash if you are not calm when meeting other people or other dogs your fears and tension is put straight on your dog as dogs thrive off our energy we are projecting u have to be calm and have the leash slack
That trainer has no idea what they’re doing, then. Look elsewhere. If need be, do a Google search for dog training clubs in your area.
She’s a puppy – she thinks *everything* is her playmate. Be gentle but firm when you redirect her. I left a leash on my puppy when she wasn’t crated – it made corrections easy.
One thing a lot of folks do is train an incompatible behavior. So when she goes to jump, have her sit instead. Or have her get you a toy.
thanks guys
Laura Miedzianowski
the trainer is the vet she is too smart
but thanks its wierd tho she only goes crazy around me anyone else she is calm with do you know why that is??
