I went to the vet over the weekend for my other dog and just asked them about it and they said it is normal for the skin color to change and it isn't anything to worry about. Thats a relief :)

I have a fawn boxer that is a little over 13 months old. Just recently, my boxer Yoshi's skin has darkened. It seems that anywhere that there isn't much hair on his body (like belly or inner legs) is getting slightly darker. His skin almost looks like it is dirty. Is this something that is...

Thanks for the help everyone. Yoshi is back to being the same dog he once was. He was just neutered this past weekend, so he is walking around the house with the e collar on...bumping into everything. He had two incisions because they found that he had one testicle stuck to his intestine...

I was still at work at the time, but she said her face was not very close. She tried to feed him cheese and he wouldn't eat it. She then tried yogurt and he wouldn't eat that. He usually goes insane for those things, so she decided to put the yogurt down and let him eat it on his own (we...

Hello all, I wanted to give you guys an update. First of all, thanks for all the feedback. It was really helpful. Anyways, I went back home early yesterday to rush him to a vet. When I first got home, I saw shades of the dog he used to be. His tail was wagging. He licked me like he used...

I think we may need to do that. We were told before that if his testicle doesn't drop, it could cause a lot of pain for him...and possibly lead to cancer. He is getting them removed next Saturday. So do I wait til then with the problem since we have an appointment? Do I see if there is any...

Is there any way I could tell if he's hurt? I don't know how hard it was, but she said he was peeing and she kicked him in the side to stop him...not very hard...but I don't know. I didn't see it. I do know that my mom isn't a violent person though. She loves the dog too and she'd never give...

Guys, I am having some serious problems right now with my dog, Yoshi. He is about 7 and half months old. Two days ago we left him with my mom and he was acting up. He peed all over and she hit him for it. When we got there, he was just laying there looking sad. He hasn't been the same since...

I will try out exercising him a bit more. Hopefully that helps out. I can't do the doggie door for a couple reasons. One is that I live in a condo and it wouldn't be ok to let him roam freely out there. The other being that I don't live in the best of neighborhoods and wouldn't trust him...

Hello all, We've been having some problems with our little guy, Yoshi. He is 7 months old and pretty well behaved. Our main concern is that he hates to be alone in his cage. We tried leaving him out before and he is too crazy. He tears everything in site, so we resorted to leaving him in...

I'm not sure if this is normal, but my little guy almost refuses to go use the bathroom if it is raining out (sometimes even if the grass is wet from previous rain). I'm not sure if this is something normal that he'll get used to...or if I'll have to take a different approach. I've tried...

Sorry if this is elsewhere, but can you give me some recommendations of reading material?

In regards to the last two posts, we currently have the crate in the living room area. We spend most of our time there while we are awake, so we thought it would be good to have it there so if he wants his food or to take a little nap. He doesn’t like to go wandering on his own much, so when...

I do not have anything like that, but I will try giving him something I wore in addition to these other things. I'll talk with my fiance about putting him in our room, it may require a little rearranging, but it could be well worth it. I'll keep you guys posted on the progress. I'm sure...

Yea, I know about his lack of bladder control, but his crying usually means he just woke up and he usually has to go to the bathroom when he wakes up. So, it somewhat works in our favor that he cries. I understand he's trying to get attention, but I have no choice unless I let him do his...
