Why does your dog keep closing her eyes?
poDogs don't "sleep". They'll just nap... That's why it's easy to wake a "sleeping dog". And if they don't literally sleep, they can keep their eyes open while "sleeping"
It's actually normal for a dog to be sleeping with its eyes open, that means it's had a long day, or it's not sleeping, just staring at something.
i recommend a girl because she wont hump your leg as much as males, they are usually nicer, but it may be more important to get her spayed than a male neutered. males are more aggressive if they aren't yet neutered. and both cost a lot of money. females are usually more money. i think you should get any sweet mutt you find from the shelters. mutts are healthier, nicer, they live longer and they are just overall better. it actually is a fact that mutts live longer and are healthier. hope i helped!
What kind of puppy doesn't poo a lot?
None if they are healthy. Food goes in and waste products come out. That is what you would want to see in a healthy pup. The better brand of dog food you feed, the smaller the actual poops will be, so feed your pup a good name brand of dog food, such as Natural Choice Puppy food or Innova food. The cheaper brands of dog good are not good for the pup and they will have much larger poops.

What do you feed a 6 week old puppy if it's mother has died?
keep the pups as warm as possible by keeping them in a warm place and providing blankets.
as far as i know, you can go to the pet store and see if they sell puppy formula. if they don't than I'm sorry but that's the only way i know how to feed pups that small.
you really ought to seek advice from your Vet because you will need to feed a Puppy Formula every two hours during the day and night about 2 ounces every hour. and you will need to be shown how to make the puppy defaecate and urinate after every meal just as the mother would do. To do this you need to have a soft damp cloth and lightly stroke the private parts with it, simulating the mother's tongue. As the get older they feed less often and by 3 weeks can start to have some solid food as well.
Mites are arachnids in the subfamily acarines. They have 8 legs and rounded bodies and can be burrowing (where they burrow under the skin to live/ lay eggs) or non-burrowing (where they feed on dead skin, body secretions etc)
Many species of mite infect dogs:
Sarcoptes scabiei (scabies) - this mite burrows under the skin and causes crusting, hair loss and itchy skin
Demodex canis - this mite lives within hair follicles and can lead to crusting, itching, redness and hair loss
Otodectes cyanotis - the ear mite, a non-burrowing mite found in the ears of cats and dogs, can lead to excess wax (usually brown, sticky and foul smelling)
Chyletiella species - found in dogs, cats and rabbits. Commonly called 'walking dandruff' due to it's white appearance on the animal.
Trombicula larvae (only larvae parasitic) - these crawl onto legs of dogs walking in fields and appear as orange patches when they feed in groups. (Not in UK).

If your dog is underweight, it is best to put him on a meat-based diet. Here are some suggestions to whet your pet's appetite:
* Sautéed chicken liver in butter * Canned chicken chunks * Boiled or grilled hamburger * Hard-boiled eggs * Eggs lightly scrambled in butter * Meat-based baby food * Macaroni and cheese with minced beef or sausage
As always, consult your vet first before proceeding with a weight-gain diet. Your vet will know whether or not your pet should gain weight; it might not be underweight in the first place.

It's a disgusting job and if it's not that common in your dog get your vet to do it. A person really needs to know how to express anal glands so as not to hurt the dog. I have to take my Bichon Frise X to our vet every month. Costly, but she does a better job than I can.

The main problem is when a dog chews on a chicken bone is that the fragments will splinter in their throat. It is better that they swallow it whole, most Labradors are capable of passing it through their digestive system with minimal difficulty. In rare cases it will cause a blockage.
