I boarded my dog at a new place. A few days after she got home she started limping and was lethargic. I took her to the vet and she tested positive for lyme disease.
She is on antibiotics and is fine now, but I can’t help blaming the new kennel. Could she have been bitten by a tick from another dog at the kennel and developed symptoms within a week?
Thanks.

Summer is coming up soon and where I live, the average temperature will reach over 100 degrees F. Even at night, the weather is unbearably hot.
I have a jack russell terrier who needs a lot of exercise but I’m not sure how to do that when it starts getting too hot. The average weather right now is around 90 degrees F. I’m already having trouble getting my pup enough exercise and it’s not even summer yet.
Thanks.
Benny

I have a chihuahua and poodle mix who is very fear aggressive, over protective and has horrible separation anxiety. She is 6 yrs old non spade, ball of energy. Is she to old to learn new behavior? –Venus

My 5 1/2 month old toy poodle has diarrhea (it has mild, almost no blood in it) and she is throwing up. She was fine this morning then she started vomiting a faded mustard like substance. We just got her and she does not have her shots yet. She doesn’t seem sick at all, she still seems very eccentric as always. My grandma gave her something to eat and soon after that she threw it up. Please help! — Eli

If you decide to handle a pet store puppy, is it possible to catch and carry a disease from that puppy to your dogs at home? Or do the two animals need to be in contact with each other? If you can accidentally pass on a disease, what common sicknesses are there and how do you tell the difference between a relatively healthy dog and a sick dog? 🙂 thanks in advance
