Help! Anxiety ridden dog.

Friday, January 25th, 2013

How do I help an anxiety ridden dog? My dog has terrible anxiety issues.  I will see the vet on the 24th to talk about it.  What are some healthy ways to help her that I can do at home?  I hate to see her go on medication.

Sunday, January 6th, 2013

My dad asked my mom if she gave the dogs heart worm medicine, and she didn’t answer. So I went to give them there heart medicine. I gave it to my dogs, then my mom comes running saying that she gave the dogs heartworm medicine. Can you tell me what will happen? Please, I’m worried. :'(

How can you cure a depressed dog?

Friday, November 16th, 2012

My chihuahua is 4 years old. Within the last three days her personality has changed dramatically, she walks around very mopey.  She has been pacing and never seems to relax.  She used to be very happy and I am worried that she is depressed because we bought a new kitten about a month ago.  She acts like she is in physical pain, but when I took her to the vet she stops acting this way.  I think she is depressed, what can I do to cheer her up?

Thank you.

How can I stop my cat from hissing at me?

Friday, November 9th, 2012

I have a 5 years old, long-haired orange cat.  I have to comb him every day to prevent mats in his fur.  I give him treats all the time while combing him.  I give him about 5 treats before I comb his tail even at this time he always hisses at me.  He growls constantly while I comb him.  Why does he get so mad?  How can I get him to enjoy it?

Also, whenever I try to hold him he always gets really mad and sometimes end up hissing. Help!

My cat has dry, itchy skin that flakes.

Saturday, November 3rd, 2012

She’s had tight, dry skin for some time, but now that it’s winter and the flakes are pretty evident in her fur. I’m wondering if there’s anything I can give her that can take away the dryness. The air gets REALLY dry here in the winters, due to the kind of climate I live in. Any tips?
