Turned out she was not pregnant. She was in a false heat though.
No not if you took your cat to the Vet's office and had her spayed. She is just gaining weight
Stand your dog up and have her head facing away from you. Place a hand on each side of her stomach. Encircle her tummy. Press in and see if you feel a puppy's body shape. Now you can mistake the uterus when it is contracting for a shape, but not the s...
Are you kidding me, because they are dogs. Dogs do everything with their mouths and tongues. They don't know that it is offensive to you that they licked their rear and than came up and gave you a kiss.
58 -65 days, as Harley says, I always use 63 days but after 58 days they can be born safe because the lungs are developed.
Drinking and peeing a lot can mean she has diabetes, has she been tested. She may be a diabetic dog. She has to be drinking a lot to pee a lot. Have you told the Vet this part of the story?
Fading Pup Syndrome What I also want to say is that if you are not seeing your dog sit on the pups. Fading pups look flat when they die. They Fade because they are cold or weak. Either lack of warmth or because they are cold they can't nurse and the...
Some do like Pugs.
No! you don't take them away, that is not the problem, this is common. You put rails around the puppy box You have made her a puppy box haven't you? You are bothering her also. She gets nervous when you are in there and they do things like sit on the...
Oh my Gosh please call your Vet and get your little guy into the Vet's Office right away. That red streak could be blood poisoning? I don't know but I would not mess aroung with anything as priceless as you pups eyes! Call now!
keep it at 95 degrees either under a light or incubator. I would get you a cheap thermometer at Walmart and keep a close eye on the temp. You have to roll the egg a few times a day also
Now is the correct answer
The pups are old enough to be weaned in this case. Your dog is wanting to wean her pups. Get puppy chow kibble and ground it up in a blender, and add some water and a little can milk to it and start feeding the puppies. (easy on the can milk, you reall...
Call your Vet's Office and ask them what you should be doing.
Do you get the National Geographic Channel? You need to watch The Dog Whisper. If you can't watch this program on TV, try to get it on the internet. Or go to the Library and check out his, books or videos or cds.
Kennel cough is like a cold. It has to run it's course. Some Vets will not even give an antibiotic for it. You can go to the drug store and get "Simply Cough" for him. You can give him Childrens Mucenix but your dog will not die, he just sounds like he...
Some expecting moms have all the symptoms of humans. They are nauseated and refuse to eat during early pregnancy. At 4 weeks, which is about were your dog is at, the uterus enlarges to the point that it begins to fold in on itself. During this time...
Ok well we have answers on why dogs eat poop, here are suggestions on how to stop them. A poor quality diet may be at fault so make sure you feed high quality dry kibble as a base, with canned meat supplement of not more than 25%. You can mix some ...
Yes, call your Vet's office. They have dry up meds like Salix is one used for dogs, I am not sure about cats but they do have something for her. You don't want to to get mastitis.
No she is not blind just needs a little more time to develop.
She is not ready yet. 58 to 65 days is when the pups come. , Clear discharge can happen from 2 weeks on. Do you have her puppy box ready and is she use to it? I think Chihuahua Moms have problems being good mothers because the owners treat them as ba...
Is one of your cats drinking and peeing a lot? If so it may be diabetic? That would be the cat I would suspect? You really need to have them checked out.
It is possible for her to get sick but not in all cases. Have you got your puppies yet?
She has most likely already had her puppies. Did you want them under the stairs? Why don't you go to the library and check out a book on raising a litter and build her a puppy box, get the puppies a heating pad and take good care of them.
Yes and some Vets are open until Noon today or take her to the ER VET. The hacking could also be anything from kennel cough to worms to the wood she has thrown up, but I would say she ate the wood because she is sick. Go to the Vets.
Is this a human or a dog we are talking about? If it is your dog and you are trying to say she is going to have puppies. Yes, she is old enough if you did not spay her and she had her first heat at 6 months. Puppies come 58 to 65 days after your do...
I would say take your cats to the Vet's to have them checked out. One of them may have an infection. Unless you are sure who is doing it. The cat that is doing it is trying to tell you something and may have a urinary infection. Since cats can't talk, ...
Dogs have two glands or sacs located at about 5 o clock and 7 o clock to the anus. The openings of the sacs are found by drawing down on the skin of the lower part of the anus. By applying a small amount of pressure directly below these openings, fluid...
I would say she needs to be wormed. Not Walmart wormer, but go to your Vet's and have her stool checked and have them check to see what worms she has. Let's hope it is that or the food she is eating. Do not be offended when I mention worms, for a dog ...
I gave my cats haircuts, they are loincuts and they are cute. The cats love them, they aren't throwing up hairballs and the shedding is so much better. Do it.
Do you know what day you are on since she tied with the male? She is most likely close. Your dog will know what to do. Don't worry. Give her some room.
Do you have puppies yet? She should have had her puppies now?
I would for sure call and check with them about rather you should bring him in or not.
Chihuahua's tend to put their tails down when they are unhappy and curl when they are happy. Maybe she is just unsure of herself and her tail will curl as she gets happier and more confident.
A sheepdog? Hard to tell without a picture?
Sounds like she has an anal sack (gland) that is irritated. Yes you will need to take her to the Vet to have this looked at because the problem is on the inside.
Ditto no chocolate for cats or dogs.
Sure they do, go buy you some. You can look these stores up online and also order them to be shipped to your house.
When you decide on the correct food, follow the instructions as to how much to feed and when for your dogs breed, age and size. Please read ingredients on the side of back of package, do not just buy because of a picture on the bag or a commercial you ...
This is an article that has been going around for some time, (sorry I lost the source, Internet God please forgive me) Dog people will argue and discuss foods for days, weeks and hours and never agree. How does your Dog Food Brand compare? Are yo...
How do you know she is pregnant? Are you sure she is not coming into heat again? If she is not due, but you are sure she is pregnant, you better get her into your Vet. She may have had an injury today? No bleeding is not ok if she is not due. Act...
Actually the Vet will be very sure to check every thing. If your pocket book is big enough hope for a Vet that will only check for what is needed. ;)
How long ago are we talking about? Yesterday? Two months? When was she left with the other dog? Has she had a heat yet? The fur has nothing to do with anything?
Yes of course. You can train that dog to do anything you want it to do, IF you put in the time and effort. You must use a schedule and do the work. But of course you can train it to litter box train if that is what you want it to do. Dogs want to pl...
Yes, there will be swelling in her vulva area. This will go on for about 7 days until she starts to have bleeding for about 7 days changing to a pink colored discharge, for 7 days unless she is bred. Some dogs of this breed may wait until almost up t...
I would say she is coming into heat. Females do this when they are coming into heat when the male won't breed them because he knows she isn't ready but she has hormone problems and thinks she is. Mark my words she is getting ready to come into heat. S...
What you should do is when you get up in the morning. You use the bathroom and slip on your clothes and take you pup out of it's crate or where it sleeps. Put her on her leash and take her out for her morning walk and to potty. Tell her when you take h...
As everyone says above they do this but I have also noticed babies in general do this. My new Grandson breathes like this. He was born June 5, 2009
No why would you think that?
When did you change her food. I would mix the kibble back into the can dog food to and go back gradual, this way you will not upset her system again. You can give her 1 cc of Keopectate. It shouldn't hurt the puppies. But I would call and check wit...
