Blood with stool... any ideas?
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Hello, Today on our walk, my dog had some blood come out with his stool enough to drip and streak his fur. Could this be caused because I recently changed his food, or because last time at the vet he had his anal glands expressed (although it was a month ago)?? Any ideas would be great. Other than the...

previous dog food recalls
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
The feed store near my house has only a few good dog foods. Two of these are Merrick and Go Natural. Both of these brands had recalls awhile back, if i remember correctly?? I was wondering how safe you think these products are now. I'm sure they have since stepped up thier quality control, but I'm...

need your grooming advice
Posted to: Health & Grooming
What materials should I use to groom my dog's coat? I am currently using a fine-toothed comb and brushing her thrice a week. However, when I run my fingers through her fur, multiple (sometimes a wad) of strands will come out with my hand. The hair comes out really easily. Is this normal? She is short...

Biting/Nipping
Posted to: Training & Behavior
We have a goldendoodle named Teddy. He is about 9 months old now and I've noticed he has a horrible habit of "nipping" at you. It's not really biting but it can hurt when he gets too much skin! It immediately gave me flashbacks to my grandmother's poodle when I was a kid. He would...

Biting his feet!
Posted to: Health & Grooming
This is something new for us, Winston has never really chewed on his feet in the past, but when he came home from the groomers 2 weeks ago, he was chewing on his back feet. I assumed that it was from the clipping and maybe they went a bit short or something. Well, he's gotten a bath since then, has...

Wanted to give an update on ducks
Posted to: News & Entertainment
I finally found the livestock adjuster and he is coming this morning. I thought they would pay about $3 a duck, which would by me one. But a man told me they will pay full value of what I lost. I may have to argue with him a bit to get it, but ya'll know I'm good at that. So I should get $400...

Enlarged Kidney?
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Last summer, Sally got what the vets *think* was a kidney infection. She was not eating, had a temp of 105.5-106 degrees, was lethargic, drooling, and not drinking. She was at the vets for 3 days, and was on an IV for most of that time. When I picked her up at the end of the third day, it took her days...
