    Haven't been around for a while...but don't know where else to turn...IVDSO HELP

    Hello everyone, I haven't been on this site in a very long time. Mostly because I wasn't interested in all the showing/sporting/breeding/etc. stuff that goes on, I just have a lazy, ugly, dog that I LOVE. His name is Dozer and he's an English Bulldog. He's big for his breed (tall) and he's...

    Say it ain't so...does this look like mange on my poor Dozer?

    We have not noticed anything on his neck until today when I gave him a bath. I scrubbed him down vigorously thanks to the red dirt we have here in Hawaii. His last bath was about 8 weeks ago. After I scrubbed him down and towel dried him, I noticed a bunch of hair came of his neck, and in...

    Dozer Video!

    Last night Dozer decided the plastic top to a toy palm tree was the best/worst thing since peanut butter. He was equally horrified and amazed. We eventually had to hide it because he wouldn't give up the fierce battle :D. YouTube - Dozer Vs. Palm Tree I

    Bulge between toes?

    We just noticed a couple days ago a large bulge between two of Dozer's toes. I know it's new since late August, which is when I trimmed his nails last, but I can't say for sure when it appeared. It doesn't appear to bother him, he lets me touch it and apply light pressure. It's soft/squishy...

    Demodectic Mange--If Anyone Knows, Someone Here Will. Potential Rescue.

    Her face says it all. This poor girl tugs at my heartstrings and she needs some rescuing and love NOW. We are searching for another family member and playmate for our dog Dozer. While skimming Petfinder, I came across Zoey. Zoey has a horrid, I mean HORRID case of mange. If your heart...

    This is my last chance to keep my dog...can anyone in CA or WA help??

    First off, I want everyone to know that I am already stressed beyond imagination. Please don't berate or lecture me. I have been near tears all morning and spent hours on the phone with various airlines. I did reasearch before our move but I honestly did not think it would be THIS HARD to...

    Oh No!!! Is this cherry eye???

    My poor doggie woke up this morning and I noticed his eye was swollen, like he had knocked it or something. Then when he finally opened it, his third eyelid is completely covering his eye :(. The earliest my vet can see him is in 4.5 hours. She said to keep him kenneled until then. He has...

    Breed specific foods.............huh?

    I'm looking into switching our bully from Beneful to something better for him. He came to us on Beneful and I didn't want to upset his tummy by switching right away. Bully's are known for their sensitive stomachs (and, ahem, their flatulence), so I'm trying to find something that will be kind...

    Tips for moving to Hawaii?

    My DH came down on orders for Hawaii and we'll be moving there in July. I've got all the paperwork we need to complete and have started the process with our vet. I'm planning on 'direct release' from the airport, so I will need to have all the requirements done in the next 6 months. I'm...

    Good tear stain remover? Oral or topical?

    Has anyone found a good, gentle tear stain remover for white coats? What about the oral supplements that are puported to remove tear stains? I'd love to hear any suggestions you might have, our bully has a pretty dark tear stain down his right eye and in his wrinkle. It makes it hard to...

    Dog Park a bad idea for socializing issues?

    We have just recently bought a 2yo English Bulldog neutered male. He is absolutely the perfect dog for us and we are in love with him. His only vice is that he has poor dog/dog social skills, and we'd like to train him not to be so quick and aggressive. I thought maybe watching through...

    Am I doing this right? Housebreaking and crating...

    Still in the process of crate-training and housebreaking the tiny nameless pup. He is doing fairly well, though he's had a few accidents. I've gotten an array of puppy training books from the library, and they are contradicting I don't know what to follow. Here are the stats: ~~11...

    Water in the crate while training?

    I have started crate training our little pup...and can I just say he is doing AWESOME??!! He has not had one accident, has peed and pooed at every outdoor trip. My question is, should I fill his water dish in the crate? I know you're not supposed to have food in there, and I've been feeding...

    Has anyone successfully litter-trained?

    We have a new 8 week old toy mix. He is barely a pound and shouldn't be more than 4-5lbs. My husband thinks we can litter-box train him. I had never heard of such a thing, but sure enough, while at the feed store today getting puppy pads I saw specially formulated "dog litter" and litter...

    Puppy growth question...

    Is it normal for them to go through awkward growth phases? Our almost 11-week puppy has gone from a ball of pudgy puppy to a rather thin, taller puppy. His hips are prominent and I'm worrying he is not getting enough nutrition. We recently switched his food from Puppy Chow to ProPac...
