    No that is no too much water if anything it’s not enough.  It sounds like he needs to go to the vet for treatment.

  2. Brett Freeman

    This would be 16 ounces in one sitting that he drank all at once. I just want to make sure I didn’t give him too much at one time.

  3. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    No, if he had drank too much he would have vomited

  4. Brett Freeman

    This last time he was making sounds like he wanted to but he didn’t. I will be going to a vet in the morning. I just worry about my little guy.

    Hi, we cannot diagnose what is wrong with your dog….but we can tell you she is showing symptoms of pain and distress. 

    Please take her to a Vet, she needs medical attention quickly. I hope shes ok.

    Where is the callus located? If on the feet, I’d make sure it isn’t a corn (I don’t know if Rotties get corns), and I would invest in Musher’s Secret or bag balm.

    If anywhere else, consult a vet first.

    Thank you so much. Will surely try to find one.

    He has it on his elbow and near his rectum. Thank you 🙂

    near his rectum? that’s…strange. that would warrant a vet visit in my house.

    if it’s on his elbow, does he have soft things for a bed? when i see elbow callus, it tells me the dog is lying on hard surfaces like dirt, concrete, and tile.

  5. Zep Uy

    Since he is a guard dog, he stays out on his cage reason how he got those calluses i guess.

    that’s…not a good life for a dog.

    How awful for the dog. What kind of life is that? There is a huge difference between dogs that have been trained to guard and dogs that are being abused by people that say, “this dog is here because it is guarding my home”. If a dog has not been trained to guard then being kept outside on surfaces that cause sores and calluses that is just abuse. Plain and simple. You need to either start respecting this dog’s needs, or you need to give him up to an organization or person that can give him the life he deserves – in a loving home with interaction, training and surfaces appropriate to his comfort.
    I urge you to do the right thing and correct this situation. This dog is not a guard dog if he hasn’t been trained to do this job, cause if the time, energy and money was spent to train him, he wouldn’t be “out on his cage”. A barking dog is NOT a guard dog. Get a lock and an automatic light and you will be just as safe and a lot more humane.

Hello, My Name Is Zachary And I Am Looking For Help On An Adult Cat…

Hello, my name is Zachary and I am looking for help on an adult cat rectal prolase, anything you can help me with would be greatly appreciated.A few months ago my cat got very sick. He couldn’t drink water or eat. He urinated on himself where he laid. I believe he had perhaps got into a neighbor houses rat poison or maybe antifreeze. After a few days of him being near death, it seemed as though he had came back to himself. He still wouldn’t eat hard food but he drank liquids so I gave him kitten formula because that’s what was available at my local stores. He gained his weight back but there was one persistent problem. He used the litter box constantly. Mostly urinating and he would go back to back several times. And now the rectal prolapse. I understand the treatment for the prolapse but how do I solve the cause of the problem? Is there a certain price the treatment will cost that I should expect? And is there any financial assistance that I can look in to? I know you are in a different state “Im in KY” but maybe something national? Thank you for reading all of this, I really need to know what to expect before I move forward with the issue. Also I found out about you through your youtube channel, keep up the excellent work, Krista.

She’s 9 Months. She Bites And Scratches Her Back Legs And Under Her Front Armpits…

She’s 9 months. She bites and scratches her back legs and under her front armpits. These places are now red raw and have no fur. Vet changed her food to hills allergy and skin care food and gave me a special shampoo to wash her twice a week but nothing seems to help. She’s also been treated for fleas. Please help as I’m worried about her.

    Did he do any lab work?  Skin scrapings?  Allergy testing?

  2. Debbie Harris

    I have been working with my pets.  It’s not easy to treat them when they have skin problems. 
    If your pet is still scratching and etc.  get a second opinion,  Also be aware of the surroundings for example is there mold in the house; how often do you spray air fresheners in the air; when you mop the floors are you making sure to throughly rinse them so that the floors don’t have residue from the cleaners. 

    Rule of thumb what goes up must come down.  In other words anything you spray,mop,clean make sure the pets aren’t around because if they are they will be breathing,walking,or licking it. 

    People don’t realize these factors are very important to the health of their dog.

My Husky Is 5 Months Old So He Is Still In An Awkward Growing Stage…

My husky is 5 months old so he is still in an awkward growing stage. His ears and snout are fully developed like an adult dog, but the rest of his body is still growing. He has all husky features such as pointy stiff ears, blue almond-shaped eyes, big bushy tail, little husky-like paws, and he runs very fast and light on his feet. He has a husky mask pattern on his face, but his pattern on his body is blotched with black and white? Very confused. I thought maybe he was just a piebald husky, but lots of people are saying he’s mixed? Not sure. Can someone help me out? 🙂

    It is almost impossible to tell the DNA makeup of a dog without DNA testing.  And even then, the results may be pretty vague.  For $80 you can do a Mars Wisdom Panel that will tell you if your dog is mostly one breed or another, but other than that it can be disappointing.

    I have used the DNA test 4 times and each time the results have helped me understand the personality of the dog I was testing.

    Seems like you have a good handle on what you dog may be – but if you have the money, DNA testing doesn’t hurt!
