My 4 year old chocolate lab has been pooping in the house while my husband and I are at work. It began a month or so ago and has happened a few times each week. She was not pooping in the morning so we changed her meal times and began feeding her a small amount of food in the morning about a week and a half ago. She is now pooping in the morning, but there is still a pile when we get home, and it's definitely hours old. The stool appears healthy. We have not changed environments, or anything in her lifestyle for that matter. What's going on?? Let me also throw in there that she is the happiest dog anyone could possibly imagine. I've had labs my whole life but she is even more joyful than any of the others. ]]> Dogs jamiem77 http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/4-yr-old-dog-pooping-417642.html http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/2-wk-old-puppy-w-runny-nose-417606.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:44:48 GMT I have a 2 week old min. dachshund that I have been bottle feeding for about a week. At first he was eating fine. Now he has a runny nose, sneezes, coughes & seems to wheeze. He also feels like he has a bit of a rattle in his chest. his appetite has also decreased drastically. I cannot afford to take him to a vet. What can I do to treat him at home? ]]> Dogs lexi_76 http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/2-wk-old-puppy-w-runny-nose-417606.html http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/1yr-siberian-husky-doesnt-like-his-food-417584.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:40:07 GMT I have a 1 year old Siberian Husky puppy who has become extremely picky about his food (garbage on the street is obviously good enough for him, though).
He's started eating a mere fraction of the food he used to eat. I understand that as they reach full size they decrease how much they eat, but some days he doesn't eat at all.
I took him to the vet, and she said everything was fine with him. I stopped giving him treats and convinced my boyfriend to stop giving him treats (sometimes he likes to give my dog small pieces of bread) and still, my dog did not each much.
I am currently feeding him Origin dog food, because I heard from many people that it is an excellent brand of pet food.
I am not concerned that he is unhappy, mad, or anything like that. He's not overly skinny. I just want to get him food that he's more excited about eating!!

Does anyone have any recommendations on dog food that he might like? I tried getting sample bags for him to try, but my pet food store does not offer them. I was considering getting him wet food, but was driven off by the cost, and the fact that dry food has many benefits (such as helping with teeth cleaning, for example) ]]> Dogs katieokell http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/1yr-siberian-husky-doesnt-like-his-food-417584.html http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/skin-colored-bumps-417361.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:42:44 GMT My dog has 4 skin colored bumps on her.

He has been pooping in the same location for the past two days. And that location is inside of our house. We have never had a problem with this and we havn't moved recently. I was recently sick, and he stayed with me a lot of the time. The stools are loose to hard. Any ideas WHY he is doing this?? ]]> Dogs animalgirl23 http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/dog-poop-416972.html
