How much Valium for pain for Boston terrier weighing about 30 lbs?
Valium (diazepam) is not typically used as a first-line medication for pain management in dogs, and the appropriate dosage depends on the specific condition being treated. For anxiety or muscle spasms, a common dosage range is 0.5 to 2 mg per 10 pounds of body weight, given every 8 to 12 hours. However, you should always consult with a veterinarian for the correct dosage and to ensure it's safe for your Boston Terrier. Never administer medication without professional guidance.
Why does your Boston terrier have bumps?
Bumps on a Boston Terrier can be caused by several factors, including allergies, insect bites, or skin infections. They may also develop benign growths like lipomas or cysts. If the bumps are persistent, changing in appearance, or causing discomfort, it's best to consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Regular skin checks can help monitor any changes in your dog's skin health.
Can Boston terriers wear muzzles?
Yes, Boston Terriers can wear muzzles, but it's important to choose the right type and size for their short snouts. A properly fitted muzzle can help prevent biting or unwanted behaviors while allowing for breathing and panting. It's essential to introduce the muzzle gradually and ensure your dog is comfortable wearing it. Always supervise your pet while they are wearing a muzzle to ensure their safety and well-being.

Some dogs do this and can get sick from it. Do what you can to stop the habit. Also, have your dog checked at the vet to be sure it hasn't contracted an infection or other problem from the habit.
Why is your Boston terrier congested?
Why is your Boston terriers vulva swollen?
This is the visible part of the "heat cycle". The swelling is necessary for the act of copulation to fertilize the egg. If you don't want the dog bred she must be kept confined until this swelling is completely gone. If you do leave the dog unconfined (and I don't mean chained), she will have puppies usually within 63 days of being bred by a male dog. This is not a good thing. Then you have to find homes for the puppies when is not always an easy process. Get your dog spayed within 2 months of this going out of heat if she is not bred and you won't have this problem. Most areas of the nation now have low-cost spay/neuter programs where you can get you dog fixed for usually at the most $50.00 for a big dog and less for smaller dogs.
Where was the first Boston terrier born at?
Boston Massachusetts. It was a mix beween an English Bulldog and a Now extinct white Terrier. They were called Bull Terriers but the AKC made them change the name as there already were dogs called Bull Terriers so they changed the name to Boston Terrier.
What is the best breed of dog for an asthmatic?
It isn't so much the fur, but more so the dander and saliva. Dogs shed tiny flakes of skin as the skin replaces itself just as our skin does. It is called dander. However, in some breeds, the shedding of hair or fur carries saliva and dander with it. Try to select a non/low-shedding, low-dander breed or mix of dog.
Remember, there is no such thing as a completely Hypoallergenic dog, so do not purchase a pup if the breeder or store tells you it's completely "hypoallergenic". This means they haven't done their homework!!
The good thing is that many children out-grow asthma so it's best to be patient. If the asthma symptoms aren't very severe or are well controlled, you should visit with several types of low shedding/low dander dogs and puppies to see which would be a good match for your child or your family. Also, if the child is around the dog on a regular basis, they will often become accustomed and immune to the dog and build up a tolerance to it. If your child's asthma is extremely bad or they are having regular attacks, please wait until the child gets a bit older and outgrows the severity of the condition to purchase a dog. It will be more kind to the child and the pup as well.
Dog hair is generally not an allergy trigger, but symptoms begin appearing when the hair sheds out dander and saliva along with it. This is why you should try to select a non-shedding or low-shedding breed. Please do not purchase a short-coated dog. Short coated dogs typically shed more than long-haired dogs. This is a little-known fact that very few people outside of animal care actually know. (I work in animal care and I am a Dog Breed Specialist and Animal Care Technician for a puppy-specialist store.)
If a person lives in an environment that constantly triggers their asthma, but is not allergic to dogs, they may still be irritated by the fine dander shed by the dog. If the other allergens in the environment are reduced, and the asthma controlled by medication, they may then be able to tolerate a dog. Dogs with a skin problem, such as having an allergy themselves, or having a skin infection, will replace their skin faster and shed more dander. Please do not wash your dog excessively. This will dry out the skin and cause dry skin and frequent scratching which will release the dander into the air. Also, your pup could possibly get a skin infection from scratching, which will be irritating to you and to him!
- The breeds of dog recommended for allergy sufferers are as follows:
Affenpinscher, Airedale Terrier, American Hairless Terrier, Australian Terrier, Basenji, Bedlington Terrier, Bergamasco, Bichon Frise, Black Russian Terrier, Bolognese, Border Terrier, Bouvier des Flandres, Brussels Griffon, Cairn, Cesky Terrier, Chacy Ranior, Chinese Crested (hairless), Coton De Tulear, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Glen of Imaal Terrier, Hairless Khala, Havanese, Irish Terrier, Kerry Blue Terrier, Komondor, Lagotto Romagnolo, Lakeland Terrier, Lowchen, Maltese, Manchester Terrier, Norfolk Terrier, Norwich Terrier, Peruvian Inca Orchid, PBGV, Polish Owczarek Nizinny, Poodles (all sizes), Portuguese Water Dog, Puli, Scottie, Sealyham Terrier, Shih-Tzu, Silky Terrier, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Spanish Water Dog, Standard Poodle, Schnauzer (all sizes), Tibetan Terrier, Welsh Terrier, Westie, Wirehaired Fox Terrier, Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, Xoloitzcuintle, Yorkshire Terrier
A mix of any of these dogs (such as a Malti-poo, Yorkie-poo, Westie-poo, Schnoodle, etc) will also be non-shedding. However, beware of a 1/2 shedding to 1/2 non-shedding mix such as a Labradoodle or Goldendoodle. These dogs have several definable coat types, and only some of them are non-shedding. You'd be best to find a multi-generation cross, such as 1/3 lab to 2/3 poodle, or better yet- 1/4 lab to 3/4 poodle. You are almost completely assured that this will be a non-shedding mix.

Im having the same problem. I have a male cat that was neutered about a month and a half ago and 2 female cats (The "mommy" is about a year and a half old and so is the male) We also have an unfixed 4 month old female Kitten. The male cat has been in "heat" for a couple of days and continiously trying to do the deed with the older female cat. Shes not fixed but IS pregnant and about to give birth in a week or two.
