My dog has had his shot knot since october?

he is a chihuahua minpin mix and i have had him since october, he got two shots in the same place and it irrated him and he pulled out the hair, now the hair is slightly growing back, has little hair strands, but is no where close to being fully covered.. is there anything i can do

and also

there is this little patch of hair that seems thinner

like you can see some of the skin if you stare closey for a while, i just wanted to know what this could be, maybe coat changing

My dog has had his shot knot since october?

check with vet or breeder. He may be allergic to alchol or to the vaccine. IT is too hard for me to tell. maybe change locations where his shot is given..maybe it is just anxiety

My dog has had his shot knot since october?

adverse vaccine reactions are common and some are more severe than others. there is a great yahoo group w/ informative archives at http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Beyon...

vaccine reactions don't lend themselves to simple answers, i suggest you check into the beyond vax list.

did your vet file an adverse reaction report? lumps and hair loss after 6 months seems like an adverse reaction to me. be sure you know which vaccines caused the reaction and avoid those in the future.

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

I am kind of inactive but I have a pekingnese/poodle that loves me...I must be doing something right!!! The breed would have to like being inside, amongst people, love laps %26amp; be small enough for me to handle %26amp; tend not to bite!! I like brushing hair too!!!

Any suggestions???

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

I would suggest adopting an older dog from a shelter. They tend to be more lap dogs. More quiet and calm. Good indoor/lap dog breeds would be pugs, rat terriers, papillions, miniature schnauzer, minature poodle. Good luck and I hope you find a great companion!!

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

I think Vintage up there got it. I was trying to think of another breed, but Golden would be great. Or a Goldendoodle.

(not small, but great, obedient, and easy to train!)

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

Bichon Frise, we had two of them, low matinence, and very loveable! They're the best

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

I haven't had many small dogs. The only two that I had were a Yorkie mix and a cocker spaniel. Both were very loving dogs.

But, don't take my word for it. Go to your local shelter, let them know your situation. The should be able to help you find the right dog for you.

Edit: And to answer your questions, every type of dog out there has been in a shelter. So, yeah, small dogs will be in shelters. Either they were strays, turned over by owners that couldn't keep them, or rescued from a bad environment

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

A yorkie would be perfect for you. They're an indoor dog and so small! A mini one is only 4 lbs and they love to be brushed all the time and they don't bite. Good luck! =)

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

Small dogs that have been poorly bred or spoiled to a point of being too spoiled can have a tendency to nip, but I don't think it's characteristic of any breed.

Most small breeds were originally bred as pets or lap dogs, so I really think that almost any breed would be appropriate for you. I'd recommend that you either get an older dog (from a shelter or private party) that you know has a good temperament or get a puppy from a good breeder where you can meet the parents and talk to the breeder.

Small breeds with groomable hair include: Poodles, longhair Chihuahuas, Maltese, Havanese, Lowchen, Yorkshire Terriers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, English Toy Spaniel (aka King Charles Spaniel)... There's more, but those I could think of off the top of my head.

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

I am also disabled and have 2 Pomeranians. I spend most of my time inside due to my illness and I have found that Pomeranians are great indoor pets. Like you, I enjoy brushing my dogs, so grooming them and never been a problem for me.

ADD:

Small dogs do end up in shelters. Some of the reasons are the owner passed away, moved to an apartment, can no longer afford a pet or training problems.

Small dogs go VERY fast. I was on a list at the shelter for over a year waiting for a small dog. I decided to go to a breeder. It could have been years! I live in a small town, so the turnover is very slow. You might have quicker/better results in a larger city.

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

It doesn't have to be a full blood breed. I would check the SPCA or the humane society there are many mixed breed dogs that would be wonderful and loving.

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

Bichon Frise...happy-go-lucky dogs, LOVE ppl, love being the ultimate lap dog, very affectionate and grooming is a must so you'd get to brush to your hearts content. they aren't "tiny" dogs...but they aren't HUGE either, perfect sized dog for your needs, great personality for your needs, and loves other ppl and pets.

EDIT:

ahh some haters up in here thumbs downing i see..LOL how stupid.

anyway...answer to your added question...YES small dogs DO end up in shelters. i have volunteered at my local SPCA for YEARS..MANY small dogs come in and out of the shelter system. some get adopted, some don't.

30% of the shelter population are made up of PUREBRED dogs...something to think about.

matter of fact...i found my sweet little dog Peggy Sue at a kill shelter. her owners brought her in and gave her up...ppl are cruel.

i was VERY upset about her being in the kill shelter because she was SO sweet. BUT the SPCA that i volunteer w/had already saved as many dogs as they were allowed for that week, and most "owner turn ins" only get 3 days before they are put down.

My husband knew how upset i was about it...and being the sweet man that he is, he snuck down to the kill shelter and adopted her on our anniversary! that was 4 yrs ago..she was 2 yrs old when we adopted her...she is just a sweetheart, loves our kids and other dogs...and well everybody really.

she's a chihuahua/dachshund mix. and since she was already spayed when we adopted her, her adoption fee was only $4!!

all my dogs are shelter dogs...2 are purebreds, 2 are mutts.

you'd be surprised what you can find in a shelter.

If you are blind a golden retriever would be good

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

I have and raise the mix of pom/maltese. They would be perfect for your situation. They would love to sit in anyones lap all day. They do need brushing, and are under 12 pounds. All mine are litter trained and the puppies too. I have one little girl that will only go outside for any reason, if we make her. She just prefers the inside, lol. The poms and maltese that i have and the mix, are just so friendly.

well if u go with a little bet bigger dog like a lab u would be better, like a black lab mix, they r really healthy and love to be around people

Mini longhair dachshund...?

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

Your question was vague in details because there is all kinds of disabilities and you didn't mention what you have or your limitations...from there you could pick a appriopriate breed. Feel free to email me with more details.

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

Chihuahuas make great service dogs. They can help you pick up things etc. I know someone who has a service chi who lets her know just before she has a seizure so she can sit down and be prepared and not just collapse onto the floor. They are very smart, very aware little dogs. My chi automatically became a seeing eyed dog for my older Toy Poodle who went blind. He would nudge him away from walking into stone walls etc in our garden.

Best Choice: Golden Retriever

Golden retrievers are a great and fun dog to have for any household. They are full of life and energy and will bring a lot of fun to your life. Their temperament is perfect for the average family that has children living in it or for someone that is on their own. No matter who is in need of a dog, the Golden Retriever is perfect for your life.

Golden retrievers are fun loving dogs that you can have a great deal of fun with. You can play with them and let them run and jump around the yard or house. You can have a good game of catch with them and watch as they run after the ball each time your throw it. They will playfully run to the ball and bring it back to you each time.

Golden retrievers are well known for their affection. They are dogs that need and want to have love and attention from their owners as well as anyone else that will pay mind to them. They like to surround themselves with people that are going socialize with them and give them attention.

Families that have children will get so much pleasure from a golden retriever joining their home. The children will find that the dog is so gentle and willing to have fun with them. They will be able to feel comfortable around the dog as well as the parents can feel safe and secure knowing that they have a good and well behaved dog as their family pet.

Most of the golden retrievers are going to be great companions for just about anyone that is lonely. They will make up for the lost friendship or relationship that is missing from someone閳ユ獨 life. If there is someone that is in need of a friend, getting a golden retriever may be the perfect present to get for him or her. This is a dog that will require little maintenance except for continuous love and attention.

Golden retriever閳ユ獨 intelligence is one of the reasons why they are so great to have around. They have the sense to know when or what they should be doing and sort of have common sense to tell them if they should or should not be doing something. This is another reason why they also make great assistance dogs for the disabled.

Many people think of their golden retriever as a good therapy dog. They will find the time that the spend with their dog as a good form of treatment for when they are not feeling well or have emotional problems that are hard to deal with. A golden retriever is a great way to bring joy into someone閳ユ獨 life again. You will not find another dog to have the same great attitude as the golden retriever does.

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

I strongly recommend the Golden Retriever. They are such beautiful dogs, loyal companions, friendly, and lovable. They match all of your criteria and are wonderful for anyone.

You won't regret getting a golden retriever!

Hope that helps you out! [:

I'm disabled, what dog should I get???

A cocka-poo. Good mix and still a small breed.... They love to be lap dogs, love to be loved, and love to be inside. Plus their hair can get long enough for you to brush.

But ultimately there are alot of small breeds that would fit your situation perfectly.... Look up some dog breed websites and read about all different small breeds, and narrow it down to something that you think would be right for u.

Golden Doodle or a bichon frise.

Im pregnant and i have 2 dogs....?

My husband and i love our 2 beagles so much, but now that im pregnant with our first child, i dont know if i want to keep them. I keep thinking about the dog hair everywhere (and i feel as if i constantly clean it up but it just keeps coming back) and my little baby crawling on it!! Any suggestions or words of advise?? I cant put them outside because they have been indoors since they were little.

Im pregnant and i have 2 dogs....?

Our beagle is our daughter's best friend. They love each other so much. As long as you vacuum often enough and don't leave them alone in a room together without supervision, everything will be fine. The only problem we have now is that they love to play together and sometimes the dog knocks my daughter down b/c she jumps a lot. But, she gets a firm talking to and behaves herself after that. Our beagle has never hurt our daughter.

Im pregnant and i have 2 dogs....?

We have a big dog, a lab. And, YES, she sheds like crazy. Noah is 9mths now and the dog is his best friend. She provides endless entertainment to our little one. She constantly puts a smile on his face :) Don't worry about the dog hair, vacuum as often as possible. No big deal.

Im pregnant and i have 2 dogs....?

Teach your dogs not to be on the furniture. When you put the baby on the floor, put him/her on a blanket. You've raised the dogs since they were pups, it would be wrong to shoo them away b/c you are having a baby. Taking your dogs out doors to brush them will help eliminate some of the extra hair that they shed. The dogs are part of your family.

Im pregnant and i have 2 dogs....?

I know exactly what you mean, i was in the same situation. Im from norway and so is my dog, it took me two years to get him over to the UK and just as he was ready to come over, we discovered i was pregnant..needless to say that i was very confused and had no idea what to do. I missed my dog and love him very much but now i started having all these worries..hair, dogfood, mucky paws, flees and the obvious thing, is he going to get jealous and will my baby be safe? My dog has always been calm, relaxed and happy and gets on well with children so i didn't really think it was an issue (he's a jack russell)

So we decided to fly him over after all and was pretty positive it would work out and it did until the day my daughter was born..he never gets the attention, exercise, playtime and love he used to get and deserves, i constantly get frustrated about dog hair everywhere, worried about what my daughter will pick up fromm the floor after him now that she's about to crawl and always get angry with him when he wakes her up by running on the wooden floor etc...our three times a day long fun walks have changed to to quick chore-walks and it's always my partner that takes him out (we live in a flat so no garden). This is obvioulsy not my dog's fault and he doesn;t deserve it so we have decided to give him to a nice couple without children just because he is now unhappy and we can't see things changing soon as we're now expecting another baby..hate that we have to do it but it is for the best for him

Sorry, this is probably not what you wanted to hear but this was our situation and yours may be different so hope you can work something out that is good for all

Good luck x

Im pregnant and i have 2 dogs....?

We have a black lab and he sheds ALOT. Right now my daughter is only 12 weeks old and not crawling yet. When I am on the floor with her I always lay a blanket down. I vacuum atleast once a day.

Im pregnant and i have 2 dogs....?

Please don't get rid of your beagles. They might end up in a shelter and be euthanized. I have a beagle, too, and she brings so much joy to my life. If these beagles have been with you since they were puppies, they are part of your family, too.

My beagle is an "outside dog" because my family does not want dogs inside the house. I had no choice but to agree to that because I wanted this beagle so much. I bought her the best dog house I could afford, I keep it clean every single day, I sweep her dog hair off the garage floor, I pick up after her so as not to give my family any reason to complain. I do what I have to do to keep her in the family and in my life.

Im pregnant and i have 2 dogs....?

We have two dogs and a very fur-laden baby who loves them (and vice versa). The hair is a pain in the neck, but a love of animals is an important thing for me to foster in him. And studies show that babies exposed to hair and dander earlier have less allergies later in life than babies not exposed. So that is a positive too!

Im pregnant and i have 2 dogs....?

I know how your feeling. . . I have a 75lb weimaraner and hes a HUGE pain in the ***! He's a ton of work, not to mention I worried about the baby and how they would get along. Well our son is now 17 months old and Duke (the dog) is his best friend. When he wakes up in the morning the first thing he says is "duka-duke". My son crawls all over him, hugs him, and duke licks him back, but they are best buddies, and I think Tyler really enjoys having him around. So I'm glad we didn't give him away, bc he makes our son happy. . . . he's like a giant teddy bear to him. Its also nice b/c our son is definitely not afraid of dogs since he's being raised with one.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my inside dogs to stay outside during the day?

Weve built them a large dog house, put invisible fence wire down around the places we don't want them to dig, inside our privacy fence. We will still bring them in, in the evenings to sleep with us and spend time, but during daylight hours, we'd like them to spend more time outside. They (there's 4, two huskies and two mutts) are used to spending all day inside with me, but with a baby on the way, we'd like to keep the dog hair to a minimum. They all shed terribly bad (I burn out a vaccuum every 4- 6 months) and tend to get rowdy in the house. Most of this was fine (minus the rowdiness), until we found out the chances of the baby being asthmatic are in the high 90's.

In order to keep the house mostly hair free and safe for baby, this is the only alternative short of getting rid of them, which my husband and Idont want to do. When we let them out longer than potty time, they herd around the door or tear at the glass.

Any suggestions on how to keep them happy and safe out there?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my inside dogs to stay outside during the day?

Get yourself a Dyson Pet vacuum - It'll be the best $500 you've ever spent.

As far as keeping them outside, do you live somewhere warm like Florida? Build a large dog run for them within the yard (You can get great 6x6 chain link panels at Home Depot that you clamp together - They have a door panel too).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my inside dogs to stay outside during the day?

Maybe some stuffed Kongs or a pool if they like them and the weather is good (you can get a plastic one for less than $10 at Wal-Mart). Also, try this stuff. I use it with my shepherds and they only shed when I take them off it so they can blow coat (you MUST take them off and allow them to blow coat once or twice a year depending on how often/when they would do it in your area). http://www.inflightcoatformula.com/ FYI I am not a distributor and I won't be paid for getting you to buy this. I just think it works really well and enjoy not having dog hair all over all the time. It brings coats in really full and thick but slows/stops excessive shedding. Takes very little to work and is easy to mix right into the dog's food.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my inside dogs to stay outside during the day?

BE CAREFUL!!! Some animal rights activist who thinks dogs are 4 legged furry people will get you r account deleted if you say you want to keep your dog outside...

My account will probably get deleted (reported FOR SURE) for suggesting you build a really LARGE dog house so they cn all fit inside and keep warm toghether because they are pack ANIMALS, (NOT humans).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my inside dogs to stay outside during the day?

your not going to like my answer at all!

But have you thought about maybe rehoming 3 of them or maybe all 4,your already stressing %26amp; your baby isnt here yet.

The baby is going to take up so much of your time i found it hard with one dog never mind four.Im not saying people with kids shoulnt have 4 dogs but already there getting chucked outside to make the house more pleasent for the baby.

Think about it very carefully,At the moment youve got to think whats best for your dogs.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my inside dogs to stay outside during the day?

They used to have both the house and the yard to live in and now their home has shrunk considerably especially if the yard is small. They are probably bored and upset by this negative turn of events so it will help to make the outside much more fun than the inside ever was.

I would leave all the best things for outside including food, treats, toys, time with the family, etc. You might even drive the point home by making the inside a place for baths, grooming, nail clipping and the like.

I would also increase their time walking in the neighborhood, going to parks, etc. even after the baby comes (you may have to hire some walkers) comes so they do not feel like things have gotten worse.

Is it easy to cut your own dogs fur rather that go to a salon?

If he's used to the noise of the clippers, it should be straightforwards to cut - but to get it looking tidy just takes practice! The first few times you do it he'll have 'scissor marks' which are like straight lines. If you can put up with that just do it yourself. If it would bother you then do a course.

The secret to a good doggy haircut is in the equipment they use, and that's quite expensive, hence the 鎷?3. I've tried doing my own dog with an electric trimmer intended for humans and it was not a pretty sight, but he didn't care and was much cooler. Depends how fussy your dog is.

Is it easy to cut your own dogs fur rather that go to a salon?

i have two dogs the female i cut /trim with scissors and a comb i always make sure the comb is between her skin and the scissors, and she is generally happy to sit there and allow me to do this. The male gets pretty aggressive and wont let me snip and comb the hair around certain areas, nor sit still for much, so i get out the hair clippers and he gets kinda scared of em, so it stops him trying to bite me, and i jsut shave him the best i can for the summer.

You should attempt to do it yourself, if you find you have one of them dogs who wont sit still and its just too much of a drama for you then send em to the salon.

Is it easy to cut your own dogs fur rather that go to a salon?

Is it easy to cut your own dogs fur rather that go to a salon?

It depends if you are fussy about what your dog looks like - as he/she wont care. I used to cut my dogs hair (when he was alive). He was curly too, and it turned out fine. Just dont take too long over it or the dog will get bored and restless and thats when you can accidently cut them. Give it a go - then you can spend the money you save on nice treats for you and doggie !

you want your dog to luck like nobody owns it.

Is it easy to cut your own dogs fur rather that go to a salon?

dog do not sweat like people do. so they do not get hot like we do. so cutting the hair will not make them cooler. just easier to take care of. the only dogs who do sweat are the chinese chrested or the other no hair dogs. grooming a dog is not as easy as it looks. that is why most people take there dog to a groomer.

I would have to say that if you are willing to put in the extra time it is definitely worth doing it yourself. I wouldn't think that you would need to so to school just to cut your own dogs fur. Practice makes perfect. I have 2 St. Poodles myself and I groom them myself and learned the technique from a DVD How to groom your dog. $60 x 2 every 6 weeks was just too expensive for me and I have saved lots of money and several funny haircuts latter I throughly enjoy doing it now. Good Luck!

Why Do Some People Bathe Their Dogs in the Bathroom Tub?

I asked this question and got accused of being racist. Just as a disclaimer, it was not meant to be racist. As a matter of fact, I worded is rather carefully just so that it would not come off as being racist as I said that the main people I've noticed who do this are White. People get so paranoid when you name color, but did it ever occur to you people that certain cultures do things differently from others? I was making an observation and from what I've seen most other people of color (minorities in general) find it appalling that some people wash their dogs in the bathtub. It is true that the tub can be cleaned, however, it's not just the bacteria and filth, but dog hair has a tendency to

seriously clog a drain. So again, I find it unwise in more ways than one. So why do people do this? Is it a cultural issue because let's face it, the only one's that I've heard of doing this are White. It's not racist if it's true. :-\

Human hair has a tendency to clog the drains, as well. It's not like the dog is the only culprit when a drain gets clogged.

The bath-tub is convenient, especially during the colder months, where you don't want to risk the dog getting ill from bathing them outdoors.

It's quick, it's simple, and you don't have to worry about your dog rolling in the dirt directly after the bath, since they'll be indoors already.

You also have control over the temperature of the water, unlike if you were to use a waterhose.

I wash my dog in the bathtub, (we have 3 in my house and nobody uses that one), because he's too big to fit in a sink like I did when he was a puppy. Also, washing him outside is totally out of the question because I live in the north of Scotland and he'd basically freeze to death.

I've never had any problem with clogged drains, and obviously I wash the bath afterwards.

because she's too big for the sink and when its cold outside I don't want to put her in the tin tub not only that, she'll splash all the water out of the tin one. In the summer/spring I do it outside but winter in the tub. Also, I have a screen over my drain so it collects hair and what not so it don't clog it.

Why is this racist, I didn't know there were people of a different race called "dog". Some men are called dogs, but thats not racist that sexist. Hmmm, some people, I tell ya.

I agree different races have different ways of doing things, and do not consider you racist for making the statement. Then again I have better things to do with my time then read into a question on yahoo answers and get all flippy.

I do bath my dog in the tub. I clean it with comet and have a drain that stops the hair from clogging. My dog however weighs 25 lbs and is easy to bath in my tub. I made the mistake of bathing my sisters lab in the tub once and it clogged the drain big time.

Why Do Some People Bathe Their Dogs in the Bathroom Tub?

I bathe my dog in the tub because i can use my sprayer, the water is warm and i have a thing in the drain that catches the hair. I don't fill the tub up with water, just spray her, shampoo her and rinse her off. She's a small dog, so it really isn't a big deal. Human hair goes down the drain also, and people are also dirty and have bacteria, so to me there is no difference.

You're so right, different cultures have different ways of doing things! Nothing racist at all in that comment. This is a new one to me. I thought EVERYONE bathed their dogs in the tub. My dog passed away 6 months ago and we usually took him to a groomer to be cleaned but I know on the rare occassions we did bathe him we did it in the tub. (and yes, I'm white!) It was a matter of practicality though. Our preference on warm days would be outside with the garden hose but he was a big dog and nearly impossible to keep still so he could be washed. We did the tub thing so he could be kept under control and he was too big to clean in the sink. And yah, we had to clean out the drain on those rare occassions we washed him in the tub. He was a long-haired American Eskimo. LOL!

Where do you bathe a dog? I live in the pacific northwest and my dog would freeze her you know what off if I bathed her anywhere but the tub. When I am done with my shower, my hubby puts her in with me. I have a hose on my shower head and use it to bathe her in nice warm water and she loves it. She is a small breed but even if I had a large dog, I would do it the same way.
