I'm sorry but I will never understand people who come here asking for advice about dealing with a problem and then just say "nope, won't do [thing that will help solve the problem] because currently I do [thing that does not help solve the problem]..." to every single thing people offer and then become really defensive when people get frustrated with them. TShields you need more help than this forum can realistically give you, if you need some solution that is 100% tailored to the exact hours of every single day that you can devote to solving dog-related problems. You need to have a trainer or someone come to your house and talk to you. This costs money. I'm sure that will be your excuse as to why you can't do it. Or there will be a different one. I don't know what you want to hear here...

Zortzico posted:He spent the night and they ran some blood tests, nothing really significant though. He was incredibly happy to come home, and seems to be back to normal. I have been hearing that some puppies can have reactions to the distemper vaccine within a short while of getting the shots. He was done on the 15th, we picked him up on the 17th and he had the seizure on the 29th. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? The problem with temporally associating things with vaccines in a puppy is that puppies are getting vaccines every 3 weeks or so, so everything that happens to them is going to seem like it can be linked with the vaccine. I wouldn't really consider 2 weeks after a vaccine to be at all significant.

Steve Yun posted:New puppy owner here, adopted from a friend of a friend. I would not take your puppy out to socialize without your puppy having been vaccinated as well. Once you start the puppy vaccine course you can and should take the puppy to meet other puppies of the same age that are similarly vaccinated and adult dogs that you trust and that are healthy and vaccinated as well. I wouldn't go to dog parks or pet stores or anything but play dates at people's houses are fine.

crowtribe posted:Rescue dog appears to have incontinence. She's been peeing herself in her sleep, and because she's deaf, when the cats cautiously come over for a sniff, she sprays piss in her shock that someone's appeared RIGHT NEXT TO HER. It depends on what the cause of the incontinence is. How old is your dog?

That sounds like a pretty good plan assuming you mean phenylpropanolamine. Here's a site that goes through common reasons for urinary incontinence in dogs: http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_urinary_incontinence.html Also deaf dogs rule. Did the rescue know why she was deaf?

Rangpur posted:This might seem like an odd question, but is it possible for a dog to overexert themselves while playing? We adopted a pair of older terrier mixes and the male, Spike, loves his Kong. He will chase after it for hours on end, to the point where his breathing sounds like he's on the verge of a heart attack. I'm not trying to run him ragged but he just keeps bringing the thing back over and pawing at my legs to throw it again. We see it all the time, especially with dogs prone to problems with their joints or airways. Dogs with pre-existing airway problems (whether they be brachycephalic or laryngeal paralysis or small fat dogs with tracheal collapse or whatever) definitely can get themselves worked up to the point of actually being in respiratory distress and needing emergency intervention. Dogs with joint problems will almost inevitably run themselves into lameness. Dogs are dumb as gently caress.
