My son emailed me and said his 9 yr old chihuahua is in the throes of pancreatitis and is not doing well. She is on an anti inflammatory, anti-diarheal, and pregnezone. She has been in the hospital once to be hydrated. She is still having loose stools, mostly in the evening. The mornings, they...

Can someone tell me what other kind of recreational bones I can give to my Yorkie mix (13 lbs) besides 'marrow bones'? It's been hard to find them lately and I have been wondering if there are any other kinds I can have her gnaw on? Something not too huge. She is a super chewer for a small dog...

My neighbor's 10 year old miniature schnauzer got kidney stones for the first time in his life. The vet operated on him to get them out and he also rearranged all his plumbing. He now pees out of a slit further down on his belly. He dribbled blood from this hole for weeks (vet said it was...

Sooooo..... How many here have had their dogs vaccinated for the dog flu that is going around? CDC - Seasonal Influenza (Flu) - Key Facts about Canine Influenza (Dog Flu) I had Lily in for an ear infection last week and she got her first shot. She is supposed to get a booster 2 weeks...

using a muzzle on a 6 month old dog that chews everything up in sight (table legs, mattresses, couches,etc) because of SA? is this ever right?

Lily had her annual check up today. Shots didn't bother her at all, but she really yelped liked 10 times as they were drawing blood. Really freaked me out, since I don't remember her making maybe but a small whimper last year. It was 2 females and the one that was holding her was new. I even...

My elderly neighbor told me she gave her Bishon a bath using Dawn dishwashing liquid (the new pink kind, whatever that is)... He really looked nice and white and seemed fine. I was just wondering if anyone knows if that is safe to wash a dog with?? If it's not I can tell her and I am sure she...

Several tv shows about dogs have mentioned "terrier teeth".... as if you can tell a terrier by it's 'typical' "terrier teeth"... can someone tell how me how a terrier's teeth are different than other dogs? (if they are). TIA...:)

I got some better pictures of my neighbors dog at the dog park today and I would LOVE to know what breed(s) you all think she might be. She is really a precious, sweet dog. Her fur feels really soft. She is about 5 yrs old. Your best guesses...PLEASE??

Anyone ever hear of "Sticktight fleas"? My neighbor lady's Chihuahua came down with a case of them. Her vet said they are mostly found on poultry! We live in an over 55 mobile home park.... no chickens around that I know of... she had a terrible time getting them off her dog, her house, her...

Does anyone have a website for a decent raincoat for dogs that isn't real expensive? We will be coming into the rainy season here in FL one of these days and as long as there is no lightning nor pouring rain I would like to walk Lily without her getting totally soaked. Any suggestions?? TIA...:)

sleep UNDER the covers?? Lily has started to crawl under my sheet and blanket and end up at the bottom of the bed at night. She doesn't stay there all night, but I was a bit concerned if there was a safety issue with it. I know I can't keep my head under the covers very long because of...

I promised her owner I would ask the "experts" here on Chaz to hazard some guesses. She is VERY camera shy. That is why I couldn't get a good picture of her. She kept hiding behind her owners legs, turning her head and tucking her long tail, fluffy tail between her legs, but maybe you can get...

Why is the message board so different now? It's so WIDE I have to constantly scroll sideways to read every message.. very annoying. Is there anyway I can set my options to avoid this??? Thanks...

Do you think after you get your dog home from grooming and take a real good look at her and decide the groomer didn't do a good job you can (should) call and ask her to re-trim the dog? My groomer normally does a fantastic job on Lily, but this time I don't know what happened. When I first saw...

For the groomers out there.... can you tell me if there if you can "check" the anal glands without actually "expressing" them? I am asking because at Petco, where I take Lily to be groomed, it says on their website, that 'checking' anal glands is INCLUDED in a "full groom".... yet they charge...

Lily has "fringes" on her legs. These fringes don't get matted, but some of the hairs get kind of "stuck" together after a few days. It is very hard to get a comb through them without pulling skin. I try to hold the hair and comb gently, but she really pulls away after a little while and I can...

Someone at my husband's work just put a deposit on a puppy at this place (a "teacup (I KNOW, no such thing!) Yorkie). This just doesn't look like a place I would be getting a puppy from, with all their designer dogs (even though I have one, but I adopted mine from a private person, who just...

I read somewhere online that white dogs like Bichons and Poodles that have staining from tears have some sort of bacterial infection and that it can be contagious to other dogs.... has anyone heard of this? Lily plays with a dear little Bichon that has a bad case of staining. Right now he just...

I live in an over 55 mobile home park and it seems more and more people are either putting up signs in their yards saying "No Dogs!", or just telling people as they walk their dogs "Please keep your dog off my lawn!". There are about 5 or 6 people that regularly walk their dogs in this park...
