Taggert Semper Vorax     Barked: Sat May 18, '13 9:31am PST  benedryl, change to a grain free food and put boots on. the dog is probably allergic to grass or the mold that grows on the grass.Since you haven't been able to find out the cause the only way is to reduce the contact points. Boots protect the dog's feet from the environment, grain free food, grains are grass and grain that is being used in food this year is notoriously high in aflatoxin due to last year's drought, and benedryl is a 1st gen antihistimine that is cheap and available over the counter that is safe for dogs and makes them a bit tired. sleeping dogs don't lick their paws. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Taggert Semper Vorax     Barked: Thu May 16, '13 12:13am PST  The husband's border collie had rimadyl for arthritis. the stuff is notoriously bad on the kidneys. I Had to point out to them that the dog was retaining water. You can tell because the face gets puffy. Sure enough his kidneys were being damaged, so they had to switch him off of it in the end. He passed away at 16. There's just not a lot of "good" drugs in the long term, I'm afraid. Everything has its side effects. I would give it only on his worse days, but sometimes it's hard to tell when a dog is in pain. they try to hide it, bless them. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dogster Lifestyle, News & Entertainment > A dog mumm yfound in mexico. What breed could it be?

Taggert Semper Vorax     Barked: Mon May 13, '13 9:18pm PST  dog mummy found in Mexican cave As a chihuahua owner I am really curious to know what breed it shares lineage with. It's kind of exiting! It looks like a Xolo breed, but 1000 years can really change a dog. Chihuahua breed history is cloaked in mystery, so I want to know if chihuahuas share any breed DNA with this dog my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Eating dandelions and dirt! Any help?

Taggert Semper Vorax     Barked: Fri Apr 26, '13 2:01am PST  walk with treats in your hand and when you see him going for something he doesn't need to be eating, get his attention with a "leave it" and let him see the treat. Treats are usually far more interesting than a bit of dirt. and praise him when you have his attention off the undesirable. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Taggert Semper Vorax     Barked: Fri Apr 26, '13 1:56am PST  I just use regular butter. Mine take pills really easy. Taggert thinks the pill is part of the treat and will actually slurp it with the butter. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Petcurean Market Fresh?

Taggert Semper Vorax     Barked: Sun Apr 21, '13 1:08am PST  we picked up about 4 lbs worth of samples of their different varieties last time we were at our favorite botique store. We always get such interesting samples. They give out the samples in 1 lb bags and one month we got one of every variety in our grab bag. It seems to be sort of an average higher end food. Probably on par with Fromm. It seems great and it's well tolerated. What we enjoyed was the x shapes that were in the small breed sample. I would recommend the food to tiny dogs that have very small or lots of absent or primitive teeth. X shapes are more familliar in cat foods because cats have very limited dentition. lots of small dogs have the same problem. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Taggert Semper Vorax     Barked: Fri Apr 19, '13 12:04pm PST  normal activity healthy dogs need about 25 calories per pound of dog. 15 is minimum highly active dogs could go as high as 50. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Taggert Semper Vorax     Barked: Thu Apr 4, '13 11:10am PST  Update: she has stitches going all the way down her neck. The tumor was above and under the muscle which was pulling the muscle out of place. It's in a difficult position because it hurts her whenever she shakes, and dogs shake and flap their ears a lot. She sobs for a while after shaking every time. She's even got pain medicine and she still sobs. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
