I was over on another BB. Someone had a dog with a UTI. I suggested parsley because I've seen it mentioned here before. Someone came back with a comment that parsley is a abortion trigger in pregnant woman so they would never give it to a breeding dog. Said it was something that they'd just...

My horses hanging out in the pasture.

I've never dealt with a hemmatoma on a dog before, but I have seen many on horses. On a horse, they usually go away on their own. They are not of a concern at all. But if you are concerned with her and not comfortable with it, try putting a heating pad on it for a little while do help desolve...

I know, I've never heard of this and I'm finding it very strange and hard to try to pinpoint down. But no, this is not happening just at night. It's when ever she sleeps, day or night. They think that they notice she may have a worst episode after she's been busy and not slept in a while. We...

They have a video clip of an episode on their phone that they showed the vet. They have not, to my knowledge, gotten her to a neurologist yet. We all are leaning toward a neurological problem though. Thanks.

Thanks for the link. I'll show it to them. I'm not sure if they've ever tried to wake her while she's having one. But this sounds kinda close to it. I've only seen a video of her going through an episode, never in person so I don't know how deep she's sleeping. At least it's something they can...

Suggestions?? Anyone got any suggestions or insight as to what might be going on???

My son and his girlfriend have a 6 month old female boxer. They've had her since she was 12 weeks. Ever since they've had her, she twitches while she sleeps. More than a normal puppy dreaming twitch. But for the last month, they've developed into full out seizures, for better words. Each and...

Having raised dogs my whole life (over40), that's the first time I ever heard that letting a dog mouth you is OK, young or not. I would never let a dog/puppy mouth me. When ever we had a puppy that wanted to bite, I would grab the lower jaw, put mild pressure on it by squeezing it and telling...

Are your dogs all the same sex? I'm just asking because my SIL has 3 males and they do the same thing out in their fenced in area. Out of the fence, nothing but excitement and slobber. My 2 ( op. sex) never act like that to each other. I guess you really only have 4 options: #1 tell the...

What are you doing to discourage this behavior? Are you letting her bite you? Biting is never exceptable. What was going on right before she turn aggresive? She's pretty young and maybe Razor is too rough with her and hurting her. Are you sure she's being aggresive and not playful? Ginger...

I've never discouraged that kind of behavior before. I prefer since we live out in the country. My dogs may sound mean and aggresive, but as soon as the person steps into the house, it's over. They are not mean, but they do their job to let us know if anyone is around. They may be protective...

I used a small box, next to my side of the bed. I would place the puppy in the box. When she would wimper, I could just place my hand on her and she'd settle right down. My problem at the time was, she was cold. I would put her next to me to warm up and then place her back down in the box. I did...

Infection maybe?? Some dogs are just easier to train than others. Ginger was a beast when she was a puppy. She took forever to train. Her daughter Missy was the easiest puppy I ever trained. Have you had the vet check him to see if he has an infection? When you take him out to pee, if he...

Hi there. I live in western NY. When are you planning on moving?
