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.

My puppy has it and I’m just wondering, while he is being treated, should I keep him away from other dogs? Or is it not contagious?
My dog has eaten many birds lately and we think it might be that. She also has had 2 litters before and I don’t know if they are too little or she just doesn’t wanna take care of them anymore. I wanna take them inside but I don’t know of its a good idea. Help!
My dog wont listen to bad or no, so what do I do? If I need to punish my dog, what is the best way to go about it that will teach them that what they are doing is wrong?

I adopted a 7 year old beagle mix about 3 weeks ago. I had to rush her to the vet the other day because she got very sick. Turns out she has pancreatitis. She’s doing somewhat better and I have her on a diet of rice, chicken, chicken broth and a little baby food.
When she gets better what should I feed her? Anyone have any experience with this?

I have a shihtzu’s who’s 13 months old. She drinks water but she only pees twice in a day. Is this normal? How many times is normal for a small dog to pee in a day?
Ruffa just developed a hematoma on the end flap of her ear. Actually, it takes up nearly half her ear in under an hour, about 2 inches long by 1.5 inches across.
Her appointment to be spayed and have her tumor removed is in 2 weeks. The vet insisted it be three weeks after her heat cycle. Is it okay to let the hematoma go that long? We’re calling the vet in the morning, but can’t seem to find an answer on how long is too long.
It’s now 06 September 2012. About 5 weeks ago, our dog, Chiqui woke, jumped down from bed, threw-up, then it was painful to watch the staggering for 5 minutes and recovered in 10 minutes from the onset.
Today, she did it again. Recommendations??
My grandparents are unable to lift their dog anymore and have asked me to help them give him a bath. The easiest place to give him a bath is in the tubs in the basement, but this requires lifting him three or four feet up into the tub. He’s twelve years old (about 40 pounds) and is used to this – and hates baths. He knows me very well. I love spending time at my grandparents playing with him, and I walk and brush him regularly! I have no problem lifting that much weight, but I’m concerned about lifting an unwilling (and fairly large) squirming dog. What is the best way to lift a dog this size so that he is comfortable and feels secure?
