Kongs What would be the earliest age a pup could get a Kong? Would it be safe for a puppy before 8 weeks old? And if so, should I start by giving it plain, or can I put something in it???

Hi all... here is a strange situation. I have consulted both my breeder and vet, and have received conflicting information, and could use some guidance. My female may have had a "silent" cycle in March/April. I never noticed any spotting, but a few weeks ago, her vulva was swollen and her...

Hi again. Well, it looks like they are going to really have to dig for my boy's undescended testicle. Upon exam, the vet could find no sign of it this morning. I am in the So. cali area, so if anyone knows of any REALLY INCREDIBLE vets, please let me know. Not that I don't trust my guy, but...

is surgery mandatory??? Just to make sure I have the right info for my hubby.... does he HAVE to be neutered? I feel bad putting him through this massive surgery. My vet gave me some details this morning, and I just shutter at the thought of them digging around looking for this other testicle...

thanks all... I appreciate all of the posts. I know my boy received basic care (shots, etc), but I never even thought to ask them if they found any info about his testicle situation. To be honest, the only other male I ever had was neutered when we adopted him, so I never even really thought...

We have a sweet new boy, unaltered, that we adopted from a displaced family. He is approximately 15 mo old, and I realized he appears to have only 1 testicle. After reading several articles on this site, I am really scared that he is in serious danger of health issues. I am going to get him...

Hi all...its been awhile since I have posted here, but I need some serious help. We have a 5 year old female, who convinced us we needed to get her a friend. So, at Christmas, we surprised the kids with a puppy. He's great. Super sweet, goofy, not too hyper...overall, a GREAT boxer...

Not rescued...we paid a buttload of $$$ so we could breed her. However, we do not want to show. I am just concerned as to why she hasn't had a cycle yet. Do you have any suggestions as to what we can do??? I guess we should see a vet, but do we need a specialist for this, or will our...

Hi all... I have a female brindle who turned 2 in May...and she has NEVER gone into heat. Is that strange??? My previous female was around 21 months before her first cycle, but this seems ridiculous. Can my girl be infertile??? Thanks!! Amy, mom to Courtney (2yr brindle female) and...

Update... Hi all...thanks for the well wishes.... I called my vet and left a message. He finally called back and said he wanted me to give her some kaeopectate for the next 24 hours...he said she must have eaten something since it hit her so fast... The meds are already working (she went...

thanks...this is my plan... I am going to watch her closely all night. She is in a good mood so I am not overly worried right now...I will give her some pedialyte either tonight or first thing in the morning with some rice and pumpkin...that worked well the other time she had diarrhea...I just...

Hi all...I haven't posted in awhile, but I need some help. My 18mo brindle female apparently had diarrhea while I was at work today. I came home and it was ALL over her crate. After a few minutes, I noticed she kept squatting in the back yard...I noticed fresh blood dripping on the grass and...
