AHH, I need help/advice.
My dog went and got herself pregnant with the neighborhood dog (I blame my mother for it) and I don't know what to do T_T
Like how long does the pregnancy last?!
What do I feed her now that she's pregnant. I heard you're suppose to feed her puppy food 'cause it has more nutritional.
What do I need to get her and prepare for her birth?
What do I DO while she's giving birth 0.0

OMG, I feel like i'm the one's that pregnant and scared to death! asdjk...

You can still get her spayed if shes not far along (up to you). You really need to take her to the vet. Your vet will be able to answer any questions you have about this stuff. When she gives birth you really should get her fixed so this doesn't happen again. Regardless of whose fault it is, it would be very irresponsible to let it happen again since there's such a big pet overpopulation problem^^

As far as i know, you should give her a quiet place to give birth. Maybe place some towels in there etc. I remember something about animals giving birth at night while no ones around but that might just be cats huh.gif not sure.

You really should go to the vet so he can tell you what to do in case anything goes wrong or what signs to look for to tell when shes about to give birth. Good luck with the puppies! They're cute but messssy.

pregnancy is usually, on average, 60 or so days.

if you are going to feed puppy food, make sure you do it gradually.
you don't really need to increase her food portions until the later weeks of pregnancy.


you should go to a vet and talk to them about it and ask them all the questions you can think of, especially if you've never done this before.

my dog hasn't been eating these past few days and yesterday when i took her to the vet, he said that she has a liver infection.
does a liver infection affect the way she walks? because since she stopped eating, she hasn't been walking.
she only walks to drink water, but other than that, she just lies down. when she does walk though, her two hind legs can't stand up straight.
and for some reason, whenever i put her in the garage, she faces the garage door. do dogs usually face towards the door when they don't feel well?

I'm very sorry to hear about your dog. Lethargy is one of the symptoms (along with lack of appetite, jaundice, depression, dark-coloured urine) associated with liver infection, so yes she may be feeling drained of energy and doesn't want to move around much. You'll need to work with your vet to manage your dog's diet to repair the liver. Make sure your dog has fresh water at all times, and give her plenty of TLC.

I'm sure the dog owners in this thread will be able to give more advice.

Is her litter box dirty? Make sure it's cleaned daily so she won't be encouraged to pee elsewhere. Cats are fussy about their litter boxes. Praise her every time she does her business in the litter box so she'll associate it with good behaviour that is rewarded. Is she spotting with increased frequency? If so, it might indicate she's having some problems - take her to the vet.

Kittens are playful and not particularly aggressive, unless provoked. Their intention is not to hurt, but just to get you to play with them. Watch your siblings when they handle the kitten - if they're being a bit too rough, or holding the kitten in a way that makes it uncomfortable, the kitten will respond by biting or scratching to let them know it doesn't like it. Kittens learn from what they observe of their surroundings and they can imitate rough play if they see it. If your kitty is being more aggressive than usual, then just tell her very firmly 'NO', maybe clap your hands, to show her that this sort of behaviour is not tolerated. In time she should learn.

My maltese has a barking problem.
We have him for almost a year already and only arond August that he finally started to bark and now he just won't stop.
He barks when he sees someone outside or if anyone coming down the stairs all dressed up.
I jokingly blame it on my bf's mom since she was complaining that its been so long already and he hasn't barked and now he just won't shut up.

It gets really irritating when its in the middle of the night he barks up at us to change his water bowl or to clean up his mess.
The little guy doesn't exactly bark either. For some reason he likes to throw his head back and howl.

Sorry for the extra pointless info but can anyone give me some advice on how they stopped their dog from barking so much?

Tell him "No!" when he barks. Do NOT give him what he wants. Because that just teaches him that barking will get him the attention he is seeking.

I`m not a fan of these and I will never use them myself, but I know people who have - shock collars. As soon as he makes a noise of a certain frequency, it will send a jolt into his body. Mm, again, it`s not a humane thing to do IMO, but it is an option.

ANOTHER option is similar - JUICE collar. He barks, juice gets squirted at his nose and irritates him. He`ll know better.

Dog help, pleasee :]~
Well I bought a puppy a few weeks ago, and it's good with me & my brother. But it barks/growls at my dad sometimes, like if he tries to touch him.. same with my mom. And he barks/growls at random people on the street. How do I train him otherwise? I've tried hitting him & saying no and stuff, but it won't work. :/

& The previous owner of this dog trained him to be housebroken, so it's good that he goes outside to pee& stuff but sometimes when I'm lazy or when it's raining, it's a hassle to walk him. So how do I change his habit and get him to pee/crap on newspaper inside the house? Will it be hard to train him because he'll try to hold it in? Will it lead to infections? ]:

Thanks!

Sorry, no one answered my questionn :[ so i'm posting again.

& Also, I want to get him neutered but the previous owner didn't even give me any of the dogs vaccination papers or anything and he's always freaking disappearing. Like he won't pick up calls, answer e-mails.. it's only once in awhile. -___- I'm so irritated. Can I still bring him to get neutered then? Will they charge me a lot and give him shots all over again? He's 9months old btw.

are shelter homes good places to get a dog?

i want a stable dog without any personality issues from previous abuse or etc. preferably relatively cheap, like under $500 (max).
if i get it from a shelter, it won't have any disease or anything right? :/

what are some good shelters to go to? the closest one to my place is in oakland which is this ghetto with one of the highest crime rates in the area.. so i'm not really wiling to go there D:

I'm guessing your dog wasn't socialized very well as a puppy. He might also just be settling in still. You should hire a trainer. Also, whenever he meets a stranger, make sure it's a completely positive experience. Maybe see if you could get some friends hes never seen before to throw him treats while your walking him. Eventually he'll learn meeting new person=treats, so strangers will means good things for him. As far as getting him fixed, i think you'll need proof that he had his shots but im not sure. If you're worried about the price, there are places that will fix him for free or very cheaply so all you would need to pay for is the shots. http://www.lovethatcat.com/spayneuter.html#states Listings by state, for both cats and dogs.

Animal shelters and animal rescues are great places to get dogs. You might wanna check out a rescue first, since they foster all the dogs they have they'll be able to tell you about its personality. Most shelters and rescues fully vet the animals before adopting them out. I think a rescue would be best for you. Go to petfinder.com and you'll be able to see a listing of all the shelters and rescues in your area. Most adoption fees can be anywhere from $50-$250 really depends on the place.
