Is inguinal hernia serious?
Posted to: Health & Grooming
Newbie to the forum. Hi~! Is inguinal hernia as common as the umbilical? Is it serious? I've read many posts about the umbilical hernia and that it's not a big deal, but there seems to be no posts about inguinal hernia. I have a 6 wk old puppy (picking up from breeder at 10 wks) and...

Toy Poodle Getting Old
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Our 14 year old toy poodle is getting on in years. At this point he seems to be mostly deaf, somewhat blind, and...well...he's not the smartest dog in the world. So, due to his senility he gets very scared whenever he gets confused. When he gets scared he does stupid stuff like climb...

Do corgis have tails?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Are their tails docked or are they born without tails? A friend and I were having this discussion tonight and neither of us knew. I think they are so cute and really sweet dogs. But she said she was "scared of them" because they didn't have tails. (she was kidding!)

Vacuum
Posted to: Training & Behavior
My otherwise sweet, gentle dog HATES the vacuum. When it's on he growls, barks and tries to bite it. (He actually was successful once and burst the bag! Naughty, but I'll admit, it was kind of funny.) Jed was a rescue dog, and I'm not sure what his life was like before I got him or if he'd...

Posted to: Health & Grooming
Not sure if this belongs in this section, but perhaps someone can offer me some insight. Daisy has a scabby/flakey nose, I've tried to remove it by picking at it but it became obvious she doesn't like it at all, and even when removed it just comes back after a few days. I've tried to...
