Painful Ear!
Posted to: Health & Grooming
It appears that Cyrus has scratched his ear hard enough to leave a small cut. It looks superficial, not bleeding profusely or anything. We have prevented him from scratching it any more today...I was just wondering if he needs to see the vet about it, or will it heal up on its own? I don't believe...

Puppy fear aggression
Posted to: Training & Behavior
Hi everyone, I have a 4 month old  uppy that is definitely showing signs of fear aggression toward other dogs. When he gets around unfamiliar dogs, he will bark, curl his lip, charge and try to bite them. Not good! He is obviously scared because his tail is between his legs and his ears...

Finally Gained Weight - Now What?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
We adoped Odie a little over a year ago. We took him in for a vet check right away. The vet said she would like to see him gain about 5 pounds. I think, at that time, he weighed 63 pounds. Odie has never been much of an eater. He can take it or leave it. It doesn't matter to him. We had trouble...
