I totally believe you and understand your frustration. I have an 8 year old Chi (will be 9 in a few months). She is 5 lbs. She had her first dental cleaning with anesthesia at the age of 3. She lost 2 teeth then. This past December, she had her second dental cleaning, but my vet and I had...

Maura - that is a great idea. I will try it. I think by building up the amount of time she spends on a guest's lap and realizing she's not going to be restrained anymore may help our situation. Thank you. Hi Doberluv - The problem is that she's giving mixed signals, too. She goes up to...

Hi all, I have a bit of a problem on my hands here that I'd really like to fix as soon as possible. So I have an 8 year old Chihuahua who has always loved strangers/guests and absolutely loved being pet. Then I moved in with my boyfriend and his mother would come by a lot. She fell in love...

Here's what I found. I would give the 200 IU every other day instead of daily.

HK = Hong Kong?

My dog tested positive for environmental allergies as well and the dermatologist told me my options. One of them was Atopica, but he said that it would be his very last option to use because of the potential harm it could do. Of course, my holistic vet didn't want my dog on it either, so now we...

I know a few dogs who got extremely sick on Merrick. Once they were off the food, they were fine within 24-36 hours. http://www.lab-retriever.net/board/hairs-cowboy-cookout-t7323091.html Photos: Picasa Web Albums - bigmag - Hair in Merri... Do you see fur in your bag?

Holistic veterinarian Dr. Susan Wynn apparently touched on that. :)

Thanks! I wouldn't say this is exactly an elimination diet. It's basically a change from one kibble to another. I suspect she might have allergies to some grains, but don't know exactly which, or it might not be the grains at all and something else in her old food. Yet she can't be on a...

Hi everyone, How long should one wait after changing kibble to see positive results, if any? My dog was chewing her paws with her old kibble and I switched her about four days ago. She's still chewing her paws, maybe a bit more, I can't tell. I stress the word "maybe". :) Can I safely...

Doberluv, thank you so much for taking your time to write and explain all that! I believe it's true that she has had insufficient socialization and it's something I should work on more. Her behavior outside towards strangers and other dogs is another story altogether...<sigh> Since you said...

Hi all, I'm currently fostering a Chihuahua for a local small dog rescue. She's your "typical" yappy, barky Chihuahua and I want to train her out of this behavior (I put quotes around typical b/c I know not all of them are like that, but it's a misconception). She is seven years old - is...

My Chi who is turning 7 soon apparently needs to be worked with. She's never ever aggressive towards me and I can do anything to her that I want and she won't care. But she can be mean to other people other than me. When my MIL is holding onto her and she wants to be released, she will snap...

I have a 6 year old Chihuahua and I love her to death, but there is one issue I'd really love to fix - that is, her barking. I got her when I was still living back at home. I was young and naive and didn't know how to manage this issue back then. When she first learned how to bark, everyone...
