Diarrhea can, and chances are will come to every dog you ever have in your lifetime and is a very common type of illness to have but in most cases is nothing serious and is not a cause to worry.
Lots of things can cause diarrhea in your dog and although on most cases the vet need not be contacted if it persists or becomes uncontrollable by your dog then it may need a better examination and diagnosis to prescribe the correct medicine.
Diarrhea is more common in puppies due to their immune system not being as strong as a dog’s immune system yet but diarrhea in dogs is also very common. Situations which cause diarrhea can be anything from a change in surroundings, worms, or conccidia, to a virus or pest your dog has caught.
A change in diet or food may have triggered the illness and it should be looked into to stop it happening again, dogs are very vulnerable to changes and it can affect them in many ways. Being over excited or having stressful days along with other emotional changes may bring this problem.
It is always important to look after your dog well while they are suffering this illness, puppies and dogs will get dehydrated in these times and you need to make sure they have enough fluids to stop further illness.
While your dog has diarrhea they become weaker due to low body weight and not getting sufficient vitamins so their immune systems lower making it easier to catch other viruses and illnesses.
Keep a close eye on your dog when they have diarrhea and if you have fears of it being anything but a common diarrhea cause then seek a vet or professional for advice. There are plenty of advice leaflets and informational sheets around in pet shops and dog care specialist places, as long as you are aware of your dog’s problem and are aware of these facts you should be in good shape.

Hi. Our 4 month old puppy was attacked by a much larger neighborhood dog. The end result: our puppy is now at the ER Vet’s getting his broken jaw wired. The ER Vet has him until tomorrow morning … then we take him home and care for him ourselves until Tuesday morning when our usual Vet’s office is open again.
I’m usually pretty good at culling info from the internet, but perhaps because I’m an emotional wreck at the moment, I just can’t seem to find any info right now that would tell me how to care for our puppy when he comes home tomorrow with his jaw wired.
Does anyone out there have any personal or professional experience with this ? Can anyone out there find me some sites that would provide me with helpful info ?
Any helpful replies will be greatly appreciated – many thanks in advance for any research / internet digging that is done to help me.

Dog shedding can be a big pain in some households, and depending on how disciplined you are about your dog clambering around the furniture the fur mess can be more than expected sometimes, and can get absolutely everywhere.
Dog shredding happens as a result of a few different situations, the first and common in all breeds of dogs is to make way for a new shiny coat every now and again, and to get rid of dead hair that is no longer needed. Another cause for shedding is seasonal changes like some breeds are used to in their natural habitat, in theses situation there can be lots of hair being dropped at an almost worrying rate twice a year, but it is actually quite normal for this to happen.
If you are worried about how much hair your dog is loosing, then do some research or go to the vets and find out the different types of dogs that get affected by this seasonal change. In rare cases loosing large amount or fur can be caused by a poor diet and insufficient amounts of vitamins to keep the fur alive. All these can be answered by your local veterinarian.
If you are tired of all this fur and the effects of your dog loosing its coat, keeping your dog well groomed will help to stop the spread of hair and keep your dogs coat healthy at the same time and is always recommended to stop knots or matted hair along with keeping your dog healthier and happier.
To summarise, if you are worried about your dogs shedding and have looked to find the shedding habits of the breed of dog you have then visiting a vet is the best option and they will be able to give you a more in-depth analysis of the situation after an examination of your dog and keep your mind at rest about the health of your dog.

My wife and I have a 4 month old male papillon and he keeps tearing (digging/chewing) up his puppy training pad that I tape down in his room (bathroom). We leave him plenty of toys, his puppy, 2 squeaky toys. Could it be his nails are sharp, or is he just bored? I caught him donig tonight and swapped him and told him NO Bad dog. Any other advice would help.

I know many people don’t like the idea of using electronic shock training collars. But I also know most people don’t know how to train their dogs properly which results in dogs biting people, running away and getting hit by cars. Tell me some positive stories.

Your dog may be the best trained dog in the world, understand your commands perfectly, and you may think that your dog understands the roads and can cope with cars well, but there is always a chance your dog could get knocked over by a car and knowing what to do in this situation is vital.
As stated above, you may think your dog is well suited to roads and can avoid cars and know when and where to cross the road, but from a dogs perspective this is all guess work and learnt from previous situations and near misses. Even after many years of crossing roads and viewing cars, dogs can still get caught up in situations that are dangerous and harmful.
If your dog does become the target of a road accident there are certain rules that should be adhered to when arriving at the scene and these rules can be the basis of how much pain and how healthy your dog will be afterwards.
The first thing to do is not panic, if your dog is conscious and can sense you panicking then they will panic also which won’t help the situation. Common injuries of a dog being run over are cuts and bruises so there is a good chance your dog is fine.
Dogs should not be moved after a car incident and until you know and are sure of the injuries they have, should remain in the same place or moved using a few people and a sheet or blanket as a stretcher if totally necessary.
Always check their breathing, your dogs breathing may have stopped as a cause of the accident and will need respiration by holding the muzzle closed and breathing air through the nose. If there is any severe bleeding you will need to add pressure to stop the bleeding and then seek urgent medical treatment.
If you are not sure of the seriousness of the damages, then contact your vet and explain the conditions to get advice on how to deal with the situation properly.

I think so. There are so many ridiculous people out there and in this section. I mean it is common sense really and they are usually unprepared to handle anytype of dog care, because they cant afford it, are too lazy, and etc

Havanese puppies are sweet and lovable. However they do require a lot of time and training, so potential owners should make sure they are able to provide for a pup before taking the plunge. In the end, the time and effort it takes to raise a Havanese puppy is worth it. Completely caring for a Havanese puppy requires a flexible schedule, something that many busy families don’t have. The aspects of Havanese puppy care, which include grooming, training, and exercising, might seem overwhelming at first. However, the end result makes up for all work involved. Though Havanese puppies make great family pets, it is important to consider whether or not a Havanese pup is conducive with a busy family lifestyle. These puppies require time and devotion from a loving family, and they have the potential to enrich the lives of the family members as well.
Havanese puppies make a great addition to any family. Perhaps one of the most popular aspects of these toy dogs is their size. They have acquired a large fan base among families with young children. Also, Havanese pups get along extremely well with other animals, making them a great choice for families who already have dogs or cats.
Havanese puppies are sweet and lovable dogs. Though they are intelligent and eager to satisfy, the care of Havanese puppies can be somewhat difficult. There are many elements of raising a Havanese puppy, and they all require time and patience on behalf of the owner. Before adopting a Havanese puppy, make sure that you are willing to devote the time needed to take care of it. If you have the means to provide and care for a Havanese puppy, and you are willing to put time into training, your reward will be a constant companion who you can truly call your best friend.
Despite their loving and sweet personalities, many people shy away from adopting Havanese puppies. This is because Havanese puppies tend to require a lot of training. Compared to many other dogs, they are somewhat difficult to housebreak. Because these small dogs have relatively small bladders, potty training them is one of the first trials a new Havanese puppy owner will face. Yet, with patience, this is a simple milestone to overcome. Another problem that Havanese puppy owners run into is grooming. Because Havanese pups do not shed, part of Havanese puppy care includes an occasional haircut.
Finally, exercise is another aspect of raising a Havanese pup that some might consider an inconvenience. The energetic and playful personalities of these dogs require a daily walk, unless they have a fenced in backyard to play around in all day. With the proper care and training, a Havanese puppy will grow up to be obedient and affectionate.
For families looking to adopt a Havanese puppy, their first step should be to consider what would be required of them as pet owners. Havanese pups can be high-maintenance, and their care is no easy task. Raising Havanese puppies requires both time and effort on the owner’s part-and many busy moms and dads don’t have the time to give. Additionally, it is important to make sure that you can provide for your pet-so there is a monetary commitment as well.
After assessing the commitment you will need to make in order to own a Havanese puppy, potential owners should next look at their own life styles. Is it possible to incorporate a new puppy into your life? For many blossoming families, the answer is “no.” Those who determine that they can love and raise a Havanese puppy are in for a rewarding experience. These sweet, affectionate pets will love you right back!
