You were right Laurie, saliva stains. ODD! He got fixed today,w/o ACE :-) He seems to be a little restless but still in his usual high spirits. I know this isnt really related to the thread title but I was looking at his incision and it looks like its at the base of his penis and not on his...

Sorry, my grandparents are using my digital camera for the next week so a photo isnt possible at the moment. It COULD be dirt I suppose but it doesnt seem to be accessible. As for the "red ting", thats certainly a possibility. Im gonna bring it up to the vet tomorrow before he gets fixed and see...

Hi everybody :-) I just noticed what may be an unusual symptom in Capone. At the base of about half his nails there appears to be some internal bleeding if you will. There is a deep red color and its not the quick from what I can tell. He has all white feet so the nails are transparent. Has...

HI Everybody..I am very happy to report that Capone is home and healing. His O2 levels were at 94% (good?) and was ready to be released yesterday. He is on a week of "chill time". Besides a little hitch in his step and 2 shaved patches on either side of his abdomen he seems well. I wouldve...

Thanks a lot everybody. I really appreciate the kind words...I will update when I hear more...He will spend at least another night there...i am (now) optimistic that it will be ok. He's in good hands down there. I call and the guilt starts back up while im asking questions and can hardly finish...

Thanks, I just called for an update and they're lowing the oxygen in his chamber and is still getting better. So thats a good sign. They said he just wants to play and get out of the tank. His tail was (as always) wagging at a million RPM. So, perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel...

We were playing in the yard and I was running and letting him chase me. He got under my feet and I kicked him, rolling him over, I stumbled and my other foot came down on his side. 175 lbs crushing him. He let out the most awful noise and tried to walk, dragging his back feet. My heart just...

Hello...so yeah, the above posts are 100% accurate. Luckily for you (and me too) this very site has alot of useful info on it. Click the HOME tab above, click on Puppies FAQ and read ALL 12 (perhaps you can leave the last one out for now) all the way through. Its great that you're concerned...

Too Funny! That just goes to show how well our dogs think on their feet...

Maureen, perhaps read through this site, perhaps you'll find some useful info. It is kinda lengthy though and probably not as exact as you'd like but it may help...Causes of Solid-Appearing Lumps & Bumps on the Skin of Dogs

Its sounds like you're doing all the appropriate steps to address the issue, good for you. I really hope if it is a health issue that its something simple, like the abscess tooth mentioned above. Maybe have a talk with your kid(s) telling them to steer clear for awhile til you get that figured...

Agreed, plain yogurt or cottage cheese works for my lil guy. It also seems to firm his poop up too. When you're at the store pay the lil extra for the good yogurt with (i think) 5 different live cultures. Perhaps in the "organic" or "local" fridge area. His gas was just awful :-) Although we...

To be honest its not the dogs that are the problem around here. The issue is that I live in, how do I say it...a not so great part of town and the people who own them are usually kids who "like em tough". They wear the big steel chains with a padlock around their necks and pull these kids down...

Hi, i've been taking my 9 week old pup for walks around the block everyday. Its kind of hit or miss with the walks but thats another thread... Yesterday we were walking down the street (and unfortunately our city is infested with Pit Bulls) and we came up to a house with a little pup...

All i have seen on the subject other than what you have said is Tobasco sauce but I dont think that'd be a good alternative. Its probably more expensive in weight and it probably stains. Not to mention the potential health risks. Perhaps try the vinegar, if it doesnt work then youre no worse...
