What is good to give a dog for menstrual pain?

Nothing - human pain medications are not safe for dogs. Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, aspirin, acetominophen, ibuprofen and other such drugs are extremely toxic to dogs.

Also, dogs don't have menstrual cycles and generally don't experience any pain or discomfort when they come into heat. They may bark or howl, but this is generally believed to be a method to notify males in the area that they are fertile and receptive, not an indication of pain.

Do puppies cry when they are born?

Yes. Puppies cry just like human babies do at birth. And the reason for this is because it helps clear the lungs of aniotic fluid and the crying actually get rids of it and replaces the fluid with air. Puppies just like human babies grow inside their mother's womb and inside they float in water called the anoitic fluid. This fluid helps proctect the embyros and also it's constantly breathed in and out so the lungs can develop properly. The aniotic fluid has many purposes other then protecting emybros and also annother reason why puppies whine when they are born is because they're cold. Puppies are born wet just like human babies are and wet fur can cause a puppy to shiver and of course "cry" because they were living in a warm enviroment in their mom's belly and then they had to come out into the open where the air feels cold and chilly and crying is the only way to say that they are cold. Puppies are just like human babies so they will constantly cry for when they are hungry, loney, tired, or whatever they need. And also they don't know where they are either since a puppy is born helpless and with tightly shut eyes they can't see nor smell or even feel their way around their new enviroment until they get older. This is why newborn puppies cry when they are born because they are new to the world and they don't know where they are or what is going on. Same with humans at birth.

How old do yorkie dogs have to be to reproduce?

Male dogs should be at least a year old before breeding; however, it is best to wait for about a year longer (as long as it takes to get out of the "teenager" stage) so you can find the dog's temperament. This is so you don't pass along aggressive or overly submissive traits.

Are German Shepherds nocturnal or diurnal?

They're pretty much diurnal because they live with man. Dogs do tend to nap a lot during the day, but they also nap at night (we just don't see them because we're sleeping too). However, they are most active when their humans are active, loyally following them around and working as needed.

Like with everything else, it's hereditary.

You can do a few of those, and find the chances of the puppies being a certain color. Remeber there are dominant and recessive colors.

What can you give your German shepherd puppy when it is losing its puppy teeth?

All they want is stuff to chew on. Give him lots of bones, kong, tennis balls. This time is about the hardest when taking care of a shepherd puppy because they will have a strong urge to chew on EVERYTHING, even you. Make sure you never allow your pup to chew on your fingers, it won't hurt when he is very little but it sure will later so don't teach him the wrong thing by letting him.

Your German shepherd cross has had a lot shaved off so you could hardly recognize her and what good will this do for her as she seems to look bare?

I have a neighbor that shved his pug in the middle of winter and the pug died of hyperthermia. Please caution when shaving animals. Some people do it because of allergys. However, If this is the case please ask you vet. Their are rx's to help the dandruff. Please don't shave dogs un- appriapate matter. It seems cruel and they are helpless. There are certain breeds of dogs that should not be shaved and your German Shepherd is one of them. If you got the dog from the ASPCA and the dog has a lot of mats they will often shave the dog close to the skin. If your groomer did it or you did it .... shame! I have a Bichon Frise that has very curly hair like sheeps wool and I just had her shaved down (but not right to the skin) or else she gets very hot. It's late spring where I live and the weather is warmer. The above poster is correct in saying that dogs should never be shaved close during winter months. It might make his life cooler now that summer is here, but remember, dogs have their natural coats for a reason. When you remove their coats you have to watch them in the sun. They can be overheated and become sun burned just like humans.
