    My cat has allergies and we have tried EVERYTHING!

    I'm not saying it's impossible but food allergies aren't typically going to manifest themselves as upper respiratory issues. Some cats just have environmental allergies. Chlortrimeton is really safe and is more effective than Benadryl in cats. It comes in 2mg tablets, you can give one to two...

    What do you think this dog is mixed with?

    Looks like a "catdo" to me. It's a Catahoula mixed with an American bulldog. They are a popular breed of hogdog in some places.

    Appetite concern - GSD - pics added!

    Quote: Big DITTO to that! All GSD pups look thin to me, that's just the way they are, sometimes until they are 2 years old. I wouldn't be worried.

    Serious dog help needed!

    This is a good chance to remind everyone to think before you commit to a dog! There is nothing calm or "easy" about labs or border collies, they are both high energy and need lots of training and exercise as young dogs. That should have been addressed before the dog was adopted and the OP could...

    Serious dog help needed!

    She needs more exercise! Obviously you wont be able to in your condition but someone needs to get this dog running every single day. She could easily run a few miles a day. If she likes frisbee or ball I'd say to do as much of that as possible. I personally think she would do excellent without...

    Thank goodness, he didn't kick her as hard as he could have so that's ok.

    Great DH, bad dogs! another update page 11

    Quote: Yeah, putting a 17 year old dog that's never spent more than a few minutes outside sounds like an excellent idea, she'd be better off putting it to sleep than to traumatize it like that. The young dogs I could compromise on if it were me...maybe they spend the day outside and sleep in...

    Great DH, bad dogs! another update page 11

    Quote: There is nothing disgusting about keeping animals in the house if you take care of them right. I have a dog and 2 cats and there is nothing gross about walking into my apartment, you wouldn't even know they were here unless you saw them walking around.

    What breeds make good Cow Dogs?

    Black Mouth Curs and Catahoulas are very popular here for cow dogs. BMC's are better with children IMO, if that makes a difference to you.

    I have a wild bore hog and need tips on caring for him!

    Wild pigs are about the easiest animal to keep. Put them in a secure pen and feed them anything and they will be fine. My DBF has kept them for 10+ years now. They eat everything from pig pellets to corn to feeder bread to leftovers from the garden and the house. Your pen looks pretty small...

    Great news! I have never seen a dog get excellent on hips.

    Going to build a dog kennel...what's the best type of floor?

    If you don't want to use concrete or need something easier to do than pouring concrete try pave stones. They make 1'x1' stones that are like $1/stone (or less) and it's easy to lay them although it is best to have a wooden border around to hold them in place.

    Dog breeds

    I love Boxers, Bostons and Heelers...in that order. There are other breeds that I like but those guys always steal my heart.

    Ideas for prosthetic goat foot!

    I found these pics online. One appears to be the bottom part of a crutch maybe? Another looks like just a piece of shaped plastic and another looks like a wooden pirate leg. All the goats look happy and healthy.

    Cat Paw Swelling Question

    I'm shocked that I've heard so many people on here say their vets wont touch an unvaccinated animal. It's not like they are going to get FIV from him or that it's going to infest the clinic. Try soaking the foot in warm epsom salt soaks two to three times a day if you can't find a vet. He would...

    Dumped pup PICS!! Any guesses on breed?

    It looks like a pyrenees x golden to me. It doesn't have to have double dewclaws to be a pyr, just like a dog with double dewclaws doesn't mean it has pyr in it. But it would be a dead giveaway with this one. Cute dog, good luck with him.

    Pink Eye

    Yes, it goes in the eye. Apply a strip across the lower lid and then squish the eye shut so that it spreads around on the lids and eyeball.

    Wellness Complete Health Catfood Questions

    I wouldn't want to take the risk of him developing stones again. You might try mixing a little of the wellness into the Royal Canin or getting the canned version of the RC and mixing a little of that in. IMO the risk of having him go through surgery again isn't worth switching to a less...
