Four of our five puppies have new homes. Now, however, the mother is refusing to eat and will not allow the remaining puppy to nurse. She is trying to wean the puppy but, in the meantime, her nipples are hard and sore. What can I do to help her?
Yes. A mothers teats will become larger as soon as she nurses til the babies stop nursing and then her teats will get smaller as her milk drys up. If they become really large, hard and have a fever your rabbit has mastitis. Best to get her to a vet. They will be very sore and she will not let babies nurse and could bite them. If gone untreated the doe could lose that teat. (not a pretty sight.)
Don't do it your self. take the dog to the vet/animal shelter.
Can we use Germolene on the dog's paw between the foot pad and toes? It appears to be sore.
HA HA! Very funny, but according to vets, dogs can't actually get charlie horses, but can be prone to pulled tendons, muscles and cramps. Just like humans, if they work out too much or excersised exstensively, they can have sore muscles too.
You can use an antibacterial cream on a cat's sore nipples. The cream will help to heal the sore nipples.
Dogs wont get a cold sore from people.
Dogs can get sore throats, but they are only common when a dog has an infection. They may also get a sore throat when they have parvo or distemper.

YES they do...my kids dog just died from this!!!!
Throw them in an ice bath for 2 minutes.. hold them in if they try and get out.
No, however they can, like us, get tired from swimming, which is why dogs should wear dog life jackets whenever swimming.
Don't do it your self. take the dog to the vet/animal shelter.
NO, aspirin is harmful to dogs. Better if you soak the leg in hot water, and rub it down like you would your own sore leg.
Do nothing - the blister/sore will rupture on its own and the dog will heal over the sore area within a week or so in most cases. If this is a frequent occurrance, I would suggest a trip to the veterinarian to see what is causing the canker sores - this is not a common illness in dogs.
