I did go to the vet after spending 2 sleepless nights with the poor little girl, and the vet it was indeed kennel cough. She put her on more antibiotics (to go along with the ones for the skin rash due to possible food allergy), and gave us some Torbutrol to calm the cough. It seems to have...

We live in an area with lots of mosquitos, and when we go out without repellent, Roxy gets covered in bites! Quite often, they will be so big that you can see them, and then they go away again fairly quickly. I mentioned it to a girlfriend of mine, and she brought out some repellent she had for...

Thank you Caroyln That may be true; she's not really that much of a swimmer, so when she gets in over her head, she really gets in over her head. She was a little better for a while, we have done nothing but snuggle all morning, but then I had to go out, and she's still making the same...

I hope someone can help.....I just took Roxy in last week for her yearly physical and shots, and she did get her kennel cough vaccination, but yesterday and today, she has been coughing and vomiting up a white mucous-y substance. It's Sunday today, and so I can't get to the vet, but I'm worried...

We have been dealing with the bumps on Roxy for a few months (and more vet visits than we like) now, and we're still a bit confused about what causes them. The first time I took her in, the vet prescribed antihistamines and antibiotics, and the rash went away quite quickly. The second time...

Since she was about 6 months old, Roxy has been working on an interesting habit. The first time it happened, I thought it was really cute. We were out for a walk and I was talking away to her, and she started talking back! Woo woo-ing away, she started bumping my hand and my leg with her nose...

I always thought she was a princess for doing that, but Roxy does the same thing! People always comment on it, too, like "oh the ground must be really cold!" I think it's so cute....especially when it is cold and she looks at me as if to say "why don't you put your butt on the ground, and see...

We've been having a bit of a problem with Roxy as well. She's now a year and (almost) a month, and she has, up to now, loved playing with other dogs at the park, on our off leash walks, etc. Now, it seems like in the last few weeks, she has started being very aggressive towards other dogs. Some...

I see all those traits in Roxy, plus a couple more. She sleeps on my feet while I do anything sitting. When we go for a walk, if she wants attention, she will bump my leg with her nose till I almost fall over. Pair the bumping with the woowoo song until I bend down, and then boom! both paws on...

When we got Roxy, we began crate training immediately, thanks to the breeder, who had started her on it. For the first few weeks, as hard as it was, we would take her outside for business, bring her back in, play with her a bit, and then put her in the crate for a few hours. It was so hard to...
