Dog Health

Your dog's growth similar to a mole pink in color on the top of his nose should be checked out. This could be cancer.

Usually, when they pee in a place u don't want them to, you can gently hit them on the head, and say no, and show them where they have to pee. You have to keep on doing that, until the dog finally stops that, it takes a lot of patience! Usually, its easier to learn a puppy, than an already-grown dog. The only time most dogs will urinate on the pavement is beside a pole or fire hydrant that another dog has left it's markings on. Take the dog to a park or grassy area (clean up any doo-doo your dog makes ... you can buy the plastic tissues for this, or get a pooper-scooper from any vet store and throw the poop in a bag.) Dogs love grass and playing. If you live in an area where there is little grass and it's too dangerous for you to go to a park or don't have one near you, then you'll have to put up with it. NEVER hit your dog. If you want them to stop a bad habit get a clean spray bottle and put cold water in it. First tell the dog 'no' firmly and if they persist on doing something they shouldn't squirt them in the face with the cold water. They get the picture pretty fast.

Chocolate is toxic to dogs and can cause the dog to die. This is because dogs are very sensitive to a toxin in chocolate called theobromine. Incidentally, this is also toxic to humans, but there isn't enough in most chocolates to cause a problem for humans.

Theobromine is related to caffeine and is a stimulant. In dogs it can cause heart arrhythmias and heart palpatations, which can lead to death.

At a hardware store, purchase any good petroleum dilate product (e.g., "Goo Gone"). Gently rub it over the dog's paw until the substance is removed. This might take a few applications depending upon how much is on the paw. Be sure to thoroughly wash the paw with soap and water when finished, because dogs lick their paws to clean them. Petroleum dilate is poisonous to both animals and humans if ingested, so you must be sure there is no residue left on the dog.

I'd try a grain free food like Wellness Core, or give dog home cooked meal, 50% meat 35% vegetables (No corn) 15% cooked oatmeal, see if you get results. There are lots of grains and ingredients I don't like to see in dogfoods

Yes they do, but in their stomachs, not their mouths. Dogs eat something because it smells yummy, if when it gets to their stomachs they then decide that it tastes foul they'll throw it back up again.

Yes

If it is alot of them and they are small then there is no real worry of it being a tumor, it could be multiple things if they are white then they are most likely just warts, but a very common cause of bumps is actually canine acne and usually occurs in young dogs. These are usually on the lips and chin which can be treated just as human acne with mild benzoyl peroxide. It also could be a gum disease, or to be honest if they arent draining anything or look red or white then it could be nothing.

You should only do this on the instructions of the vet. They need to tell you the proper dose for your dog. Dosage must be calculated using formulas for each medicine that is based dog size, such as on milligrams per kilogram of dog weight. Don't try to do this yourself, overdoses of allergy medicines can be serious. Contact your vet first.

You will also need your vet to examine the dog to be sure the problem is allergies and not something else that needs different treatment. Other problems can cause the same or similar symptoms, such as bordetella (kennel cough), distemper is another, etc..

AKC standards in breeds are very strict, and the organization has standards about double dew claws. Very few breeds are allowed double dew claws, but one breed in which they are acceptable is the Great Pyrenees.

It is not impossile to do, although it is certainly not recommended. Generally speaking, any kind of poo (dog or otherwise) contains various types of bacteria and may also contain intestinal parasites.

Most veterinarians use sutures that dissolve now a days due to the fact that most animals do not want to sit still to get the sutures removed. And those will take about 4 weeks or so to completely dissolve.

There is no bad effect using human shampoo. In fact, using baby human shampoo is good for dogs to maintain a silky and smooth skin. But note that dog shampoo has more chemicals in it that is specifically for the dog's fur. That is why it's still better to use a dog shampoo for dogs.

Yes - dogs tend to not have the same indigestion problems that humans have, and many of the Tums product line has a great deal of both sodium and calcium in it. Taking too much of either element at one time can be fatal, although this is not guaranteed.

A female dog is pregnant for 9 weeks (63 days) from the time of the first breeding. If the pups are born before the 57th day they usually don't survive. She may also go a few days later then 63.

3times a day (at least), of good food, until 20weeks old. After that, you can bring it down to 2.

Make sure you feed good food, or homemade food to any dog/puppy. It is not necessary for you to feed puppy food to puppies. It speeds up their growth and is more dangerous then beneficial.

Yes they do. Much like humans Dogs have a set of baby teeth they shed in their youth for adult teeth that they keep for thr rest of their life. Also it would be "DOES a dog get two sets of teeth"!

Yes, but only when it is raw. For example Sushi is bad for your dog's health. If it is cooked it is okay for your dog to eat.

Yes, Amoxicilln is an antibiotic used to treat Kennel cough.

The dog is taken to the vet to have the leg put into a guaze wrap or cast, and is brought back often to be checked on.

Potentional signs of a broken leg would be:

Limping around

A dangling leg

Whimpering

Not able to get up

Having only one of these signs may not mean your dog has a broken leg, but has another problem, possibly hunger, thirst, or weakness.

Yes

i think it depends on what dogs it is and if it knows what it is going to the vets for

it could mean a number of things 1 if the dog is doing this by a door they may be telling you they have to go outside. 2 they might be doing it as a stretch after a long nap. 3 it might also mean that they want to play

On your own you can not but if you have a guardian or an adult then you can. If they feel you are responsible they may allow you. In many places minors cannot work with animals as they can be dangerous.

Peeing pus or blood means a bladder infection, most likely. Take it to a veterinarian before it dies a painful death.
