What behavior should you expect when your dog is dying?
When dogs are close to passing away they will look sad and you will also notice they are starting to become weak. They'll also refuse to eat or play, and sometimes may even stop wagging their tails. Dogs will also often try to find somewhere private in which to die, they may even run away. Dogs are very intuitive creatures and they seem to know better than we humans do when they are dying. Continue to love them, scratch their heads and stroke them. Showing that you still have love for them in their final hours is very important.

What will happen if a puppy leaves its mother too soon?
She will probably move all her babies where she took the other one. Or maybe that one wasn't in the nest. Sometimes rabbits will eat their babies, so that might be what could happen. I have had that happen before with my rabbits, Reese's and Jenny. I saw Reese's eating her's and that was gross and sad. Hopefully though, the mom will put all her babies together again!

If the dog goes into respiratory distress after the sting it could be one of those rare dogs that is allergic to bee venom. If that is the case, you will need to transport the animal to a vet for emergency treatment.
If not, your dog just got a lesson about avoiding bees and will probably not get stung again unless you lavish so much attention on the dog after the sting that you positively reinforce that behavior.
Watch and wait is about all you should need to do.

What is the best medicine for a runny nose?
drink plenty of water and that's it
AnswerAvoid allergy aggravators such as sodium benzoate, which is found in some soft drinks. Limit the sweets. Get the best air filter you can. Learn about yeast/candida overgrowth and how to prevent it with diet, and add in a little yogurt to the diet. When the problem is really bad, try eating a quarter of a leaf of sage, and about 1/8 a teaspoon of turmeric. Try to have a least one glass of freshly squeezed lemonade a day.Allergies are immune responses, which are wearing your immune system down. My suggestions will help you to maintain a healthy immune system so that you stay stronger, and get sick less often.
