| RE: Help with Using a Sling on Dog |
|
Make sure she is on a leash. Then you can put a towel under her abdomen to walk her until you get out into the grass in your yard and then let it go so she can use the bathroom, or just decrease the amount you are holding her up so she has some control. If her leg is in a sling, she should be able to get around on 3 legs pretty well after a couple of days of adjusting. Just make sure she stays on a leash so she won't run away. ...

He might need his prostate examined, especially if he isn't neutered. Sometimes an enlarged prostate is a cause of straining. Sometimes urinary tract infections can look like straining to defecate too. ... View related article. |

| RE: Preventing Canine Bladder Stones |

There are different types of bladder stones. Some you want to acidify the urine (struvite stones) and other that you can't do much about (oxalate) other than flushing the bladder when small stones form and not feeding any extra calcium. Best to ask your vet what kinds of stones your dog had and what is the best diet. ... View related article. |

| RE: White Worm on My Puppy |

If it is little like rice, then it is probably a tapeworm. They get those from ingesting infected fleas. If it is a long white worm then it is probably a roundworm. They get those from the mother or ground outside. Your vet can take care of either. ... View related article. |

| RE: Fleas on a Cement Patio |
|
You need to treat the entire house and yard at the same time (weekend). Take the cat to a friend's or the vet for the weekend and apply something to the cat to kill fleas for a month (ex. Frontline, Advantage, Advantage Multi). Vacuum the entire house and sweep and mop all other floors. Then treat all the house, the bombs will get in every nook and cranny, but then you have to put up food and clean dishes. Then vacuum every day for a month. Treat the yard with a spray or granule type flea killer. Granules last longer. Then reapply monthly prevention to the cat for at least 3 months. Treat the house as the directions say on the product you got to kill fleas. Make sure you treat all cats and dogs in the household. Good luck, but it will take a while to get them under control. ...

| RE: Information About Terrier/Bichon Frise mix |
|
Not sure what kind of guidance you want. Take it to the vet for an exam and vaccinations, they can help you with problems specific to your dog. It might be prone to ear problems, so clean the ears regularly after bathing. Trim the nails regularly. Get the dog used to being brushed. Make sure it eats a good quality dog food. Don't let it get away with things, sometimes those breeds can be stubborn. Walk it on a leash. Get an ID tag on its collar. Use crate training to house train it if it isn't already house trained. Don't let it bite your hands, even playing. ... View related article. |

| RE: Are A Deaf Dog's Ear Canals Closed? |
|
Depends on why the dog is deaf. If it was born that way, then probably the ear canal is open just some part inside did not form properly. If it is an older dog with chronic ear infections (like Cocker Spaniels) then deafness could be from long term damage and the canal may appear closed from the damage and inflammation. ...

| RE: Can't Get Seeds To Start Growing |
|
Make sure they are this year's seeds. If seeds get too old they will not germinate well. Also you can try one of those Jiffy pot containers, where you add seeds and water and put the lid on to hold the moisture in. Then I would put it in a location to get some sun, make sure not too hot or cold (near an A/C vent). ... View related article. |

| RE: Hives After Eating Ice Cream |
|
You might have a food allergy to something in the ice cream. Read the ingredients and see if there is anything that maybe you don't eat much. So it won't happen again. Antihistamines are good for hives, but if they don't go away you might need a steriod shot from the doctor. ... View related article. |
