    I really can’t see how the deep fryer oil could have caused this skin problem.  However, I think she has a significant skin problem and needs to see a vet before it gets worse.

The Vomit Is Usually A Yellowish Colour But A Few Days Ago It Had…

The vomit is usually a yellowish colour but a few days ago it had black in it… She has stopped eating, but recently my mom bought canned dog food and she will eat that. She doesn’t bark anymore when we come home and doesn’t even lift her head to my parents. We did, recently get a new puppy. She is obviously jealous and I give her all the attention I can. But she seems sick, not just sad or depressed.. Please, help.

My 10 Year Old Chihuahua Has Developed A Cough That’s Been Persisting For A Little…

My 10 year old chihuahua has developed a cough that’s been persisting for a little over a week. It sounds like there is something stuck in his throat. The cough is dry and sometimes sounds like honking. Could this just be kennel cough?

    I’d take him to the vet as soon as possible. A cough can indicate many things other than kennel cough or something stuck in the throat. It can be an upper respritory infection, the start of a heart problem…some scary things. The best thing is to see a vet.

My Cat Has Dried Blood At The Edges Of His Nose. Why? He Hand His…

My cat has dried blood at the edges of his nose. Why? He hand his sister were given to us as kittens and she does not have this. They have their first felvshot as well as one other shot, no boosters and no other shots as we became unable to afford the bills of the only vet in the area. Otherwise they are both eating and drinking well, playing and active. They are 1 and 1/2 years old. He has no other health issues we know of just this cake black stuff at the edges of his nose that looks like dried blood. What should I do? And we have no money for an expensive vet bill. We have asked about a payment plan but they will not do that for us, and they are the only vet clinic around. We do not have a car.

    is it possible this is just dust?  my cat will end up with black gunk around his nose when we’ve kicked up dust in the house.

    does he have any other symptoms that might indicate an issue?

Hi There. I Am Wondering If You Might Be Able To Help Me. I Have…

Hi there. I am wondering if you might be able to help me. I have a shih poo who is nearly a year old. I inherited her so know nothing about the breeder my mother bought her from. From the time she was a baby she has been eating her own poop. I understand this is common in puppies however as I mentioned she is nearly a year old and I am very confused and concerned about why she is still doing this and how to stop it. Even when she has food in her bowl she will choose to do this. When I take her out to potty I have to be ready to quickly pull her away from any poop because she will try to rush to eat it before I can stop her. Why is she still doing this??? Why is she so actively determined to do it??? What can I do to stop this behavior??? Although her check ups are always positive I am really concerned about her and her health! Please please please help me if you can! I will be forever grateful for any help at all! ?

    some dogs will always eat poop.  it’s just a thing some folks have to contend with.  i think, in your case, i’d keep her on leash until she poops, clean it immediately (and with the leash, you can pull her away from it), and then let her off lead to run around and play.

    i came across this article, and i think it may be of use to you as it offers a training suggestion.

  2. debra yuhasz

    There is some stuff you can sprinkle on her food that stops them from doing it. It’s available in large pet stores and feed stores. At least then she won’t eat her own. It’s a discusting habit but will not do her any harm.

    it’s iffy on whether that works, though.

  4. debra yuhasz

    Yes, it’s iffy, but inexpensive and worth a try. BTW, that was a good article.

    HI, I stopped my dog from doing this  when she was a pup, simply by training her to “go” in the same spot every time and then my grandpa took over. My dog is huge. A Great Dane who used to take my 6foot tall 225 pound uncle for a walk. Anyways my grandfather walks with a cane and taught him not to eat poop and to walk nicely on the leash at the SAME TIME by simply walking him around near the pop and away from the poop. When he walked by the poop without noticing it and walked nicely he got a pigs ear (his favourite treat) and  a simple, “good boy t.j.” when he’d try to sniff at or eat the poop or when he’d pull on the leash he’d get a light rap on the bridge of the nose with my grandpas cane (not hard but enough to make him understand) and a firm, not loud or shrill but quiet and firm. “T.J. NO.” Sometimes with all this new stuff we forget that sometimes we need to change with the times (I.e. Not letting two consenting adults in a relationship share a bed in your house unless their married: Aka Disrespecting the couple and being a jerk) and sometimes  we need to remember that the old ways are sometimes the most effective.

    Oh and in case I didn’t mention, two or three day of being rapped on the nose, a dogs nose is very sensitive, he quit mis behaving and never ate poop or pulled on the leash again. May sound harsh but it worked.

    This is a quick way to causing your dog to become very reactive to hands anywhere near the dog’s face. Why advocate hitting when there is always a better option?
