    Refusing to "go" outside.

    We've had our 2 and a half year old pom since November. He was housebroken when we got him and we've never had too much of a problem. In fact, he was really quick about getting outside, doing his business, and coming right back in. However, the last several weeks, something has changed. We...

    Jealous/overprotective pom.

    Hey, I posted about the 2 year old pomeranian I adopted about a week and a half ago from the shelter. After numerous vet trips and medications for his upper respiratory infection, he seems to be getting better. Well, last night a new problem seemed too appear. It seemed that any time my...

    Sneezy, runny nose, antibotics aren't helping.

    I know this should go in Health, but fewer people seem to respond there. Our new pomeranian, which we adopted from an animal shelter a week ago, was diagonosed with an upper respiratory infection on Friday from the vet. We were given 7 days worth of Clavamox to be given twice a day. They vet...

    Kennel cough or something else?

    Well, they seem to both be doing well. Whatever was bothering the other dog, it seems to have passed. His appetite and activity is now back to normal. The pom seems to have really 'perked up', he's been eating a lot so hopefully he'll put on some of the missing weight. We *did* have to...

    Kennel cough or something else?

    I posted yesterday about our pomeranian that I adopted yesterday afternoon. The vet tech at the shelter told us he had kennel cough and would need to see a vet for it. He didn't do any tests or anything, just observed him coughing and wrote it down. He was ok last night and eating; he coughed...

    Help with new dogs?

    Well, he's got "surgical glue" down there, no stitches. They did the neuter at the shelter 2 days before I went in and adopted him. He has no followup with them. I'm going to try to take both boys to the vet on Monday since the pom needs a booster. I wish they'd mentioned that he needed to be...

    Help with new dogs?

    .. I am using a gate to keep them seperate right now. The humping was just way too distracting. About how long until the pomeranian is healed enough to begin a real introduction?

    Help with new dogs?

    We just obtained two new dogs from two different shelters. We adopted the first one, a 7 month old terrier mix, from a shelter two weeks ago. He's a very active, feisty little guy about 19 lbs. He is always wanting to play and be wild. Well, today we adopted a second dog, a 2 year old...
