It all depends on the dogs attitudes and they all should be fixed.

Anonymous i understand pit bulls are dog-aggressive as well as same-sex aggressive, particularly the bitches. i don’t know that i’d want to add another to the mix you already have going in your house. it could upset the balance and cause problems.

She Delivered Them In A Flower Pot In Our Garden, And I Have No Idea…
She delivered them in a flower pot in our garden, and I have no idea what to do! The kittens are lying there crying for milk, but the mother will not even look at them. It’s horrifying, and I am truly at a loss. We have a dog, Buddy, and he’s a bit too playful to be gentle enough around new-born kittens, so I’m trying my best to keep him away from them for now. If anyone has ANY suggestions at all, PLEASE let me know, I would truly appreciate it.

Annie Ryan Thank you so much for your reply. I’ll call them first thing tomorrow. I have gradually changed her food from Arden grange to the wainwrights grain free a couple of months ago so maybe that might have caused an allergy? I feel so sorry for her, she seems to be in discomfort and I can’t help her.

Kate McKelvie Yes, he probably needs antibiotics, maybe even sutures to close the wound. Unfortunately, only your vet can provide the care your bird needs- the antibiotics aren’t available over the counter. If you have Rimadyl on hand, a med/large breed rooster can have 12 mg, I believe, for pain/inflammation until he can be seen. I hope he heals!
I prefer a crate but I really don’t think it matters.
i’m not sure of a difference…are you talking about plastic vs wire?
both of my dobes preferred plastic vari-kennels. that’s what my breeder has in her home, so they came to us already adjusted to the cave-like feel of the vari-kennel.
HOWEVER. if you have a puppy, you’d want to find one that has a barrier you can put in for housebreaking purposes.
I think it depends on how long you are away. If you expect to be away longer than 8 hours for an adult dog, it is better to have a kennel with access to the outdoors, and a section that is inside and warm — so the dog can get out of the sun, rain, cold.
If on the other hand you only are gone short periods of time then any type of crate will keep your dog(s) safe and comfortable while you are gone. Get them to love their crate by allowing them to go in and out when you are at home. Give them stuffed Kongs to chew when they are in their crates.
And always, always, give them a treat when they go into the kennel or crate. My boys will tear though the house to get to the basement kennel each time I say “kennel boys” cause they know I will scatter tiny treats in the kennel for them before I lock the gate.
