There are products on the market (Deter, Forbid) to help prevent dogs from eating their own feces. It actually can be quite common, regardless of their health, age or circumstances. I have also...

Have they ruled out a stroke? I agree with Alty, I would definitely get a second opinion.

I'm not an expert, just a long time dog owner who reads about dogs a lot. It does not sound like she needs to "go" or a medical problem to me. It sounds like a behavioral problem, by peeing on your...

He could have been exposed weeks earlier in any number of places. However anywhere he had used the bathroom recently is now contaminated and will be for a long time. You can clean a tile floor with...

I'm very sorry for your loss. Please know that it is not safe to bring another puppy or unvaccinated adult dog into your home during the next year. The parvo virus can survive in your home and in...

I wouldn't call her active if she is only awake 3 hours a day at eight months. The black sticky stool is a concern. Why are you not feeding her breakfast? Her only meal is at 10:30 at night? A...

Whatever he is, he's adorable! Congrats on the addition to your family.

Exercise! It sounds to me like he is restless and bored. How much exercise is he getting in a day?

A spoon full of peanut butter or hidden in some cheese always work for me with pills.
Yes, I believe it's okay to add a little chicken hamburger or egg to his kibble if that gets him to eat. ...

Royal Canin is a far better choice than the previous diet. Please drop the egg snacks and go to two meals a day with kibble and chicken. Are you boiling the kibble with the chicken? The dry kibble...

Panting, restlessness... time to see a vet and get a thorough check-up! Sounds like it could be a medical problem. Is he drinking more water than usual? Please make an appointment.

I would follow the suggested amount on the bag as a starting place for the total amount of food per day. You might want to start using half kibble, half chicken and mix it very well, so there is...

Look, the fact is you are not doing what is best for your dog. I'm sure you love your dog so you have got to do what it takes to get her on the right track so she will have a healthy long life. ...

Haha! When my Nikki really needs to poop, she'll do both at the same time. All though I don't believe it's on purpose! She goes directly from a squat to hunchback as soon as she finishes peeing.

I would recommend you get to the vet today. Without a physical exam, we can only guess. Is he drinking and urinating normally?

This is a dangerous situation and needs a vet's attention immediately. Four days without food and little water is an emergency! Please find a 24 hour emergency vet right away.

Get the dog to a vet where ever you are, don't wait. Look for a 24 hour animal hospital, check with the concierge at the front desk, or just search online.
Good luck

Go to an emergency animal hospital immediately. There is no reason to delay, there are 24 hour hospitals, find one asap. Best of luck.

Just an update, puppy is doing great! Eating, urinating and stool normal again. I went to visit him again today and his energy level is through the roof! He's so skinny because of being sick for...

I do agree that a vet is the best route. The foam often means an empty stomach. Is the pup vomiting food as well or is it only when he has an empty stomach? I did have a pup who needed 3 smaller...

Thanks for the advice LadySam. Yes, Goldens are high energy, but eager to please. My brother and I purchased several packages of doggy classes with a highly regarded trainer for them. We hope that...

Well, the vet says his tech missed coccidia the last time, because when he checked today it was very apparent. Pup got new meds, but threw it up. Trying it again now, if he throws up again, he is...

My mom has a 10.5 week old golden retriever from a reputable breeder. He is beautiful, proper weight, eats and drinks well and is basically house-trained already. Although, he does have poop...

My understanding of the OP post is that the dog is not going potty and she is worried. Unfortunately I don't think she is coming back, but hopefully took the pup to a vet to get help. I too worry...

As Judy said, he will probably not be able to hold it all day. Feed him and make sure he gets plenty of exercise before you leave. Be understanding that a young puppy is not able to hold it that...

Please do not use eye drops for humans on your dog. Please see a vet ASAP

Stores sell products to make money, not because it is in the best interest of their costumers.
Many years ago, I had a dog who got a piece stuck in his throat, trying to swallow a piece too big. ...

I had a dog who cried in the crate if there was a storm. He drooled when he cried and it stunk terribly by the time I got home. He would be dry by the time I got home but I always knew if he had...

What does the vet say? She needs medical care asap.

Her anal glands might be full after having diarrhea. The stool is typically firm enough to drain them during a bowel movement, but when loose they can get quite full and cause some discomfort.

I have had wonderful success with a probiotic called PetFlora. You just sprinkle one capsule on their food every time they eat. I have tried others that my vet recommended, but nothing works as...

My previous dog had Cushings, never formally diagnosed - strongly suspected by my vet. I did the 2 hour test, didn't agree to the 8 hour test. He was diagnosed at 12 years old. He had severe...

I would recommend exercise. It sounds like maybe she is off leash in the backyard when you let her out? Try taking her for a brisk long walk. This often will "move" them to go, even if they prefer...

I have read your answer a couple times and I am still confused about her current age. Is she eight weeks old now? How long have you had her? Or is she 16 weeks?
Also, did the vet recommend the...

Thanks Shaz, we just had them emptied seven days ago, they were bothering her 3 days later. Between her nervous tendencies and antibiotics twice a day it will be a LONG three weeks. Unfortunately...

I am curious - if she is only 8 weeks now, how old was she when you got her?

My dog Nikki is on a three-week treatment of antibiotics as a preventative measure after finding a tick on her 2 weeks ago. She is a very nervous dog as it is, so loose stools and full anal glands...

Sounds like pink eye to me (conjunctivitis). My dog had it about 6 months back. I'm a kindergarten teacher so, I recognized it right away! :)
Use warm water to gently remove the gunk and crust. ...

I was at the emergency animal hospital last week and my dog was prescribed Benadryl at the dosage mentioned above by Sariss. My regular vet told me a few days later that every dog owner should keep...

As often as I come on here to learn from the knowledgeable posters and experts, one would think I would have done so tonight. My dog Nikki had been not herself today, kind of hiding and sleeping a...

There is no strict rule, it depends on their current weight, health, appetite, and even the quality of the food they are eating. The guidelines on the bag or can (Dry kibble is much better for their...

You should stop feeding him table food completely. He might skip a meal or two in protest, but will begin eating when he is hungry. Now, is he getting water from somewhere else? You mentioned he...

Oh, canned pumpkin supposedly works well also. It makes their poop taste "bad". Can you imagine that?

Easiest way is to pick it up immediately. There are also products in pet stores such as Forbid and Deter that are supplements you sprinkle in their food that deters them from eating it. Many say...

MY Nikki does the same thing, only she does it regardless of where we are going. If I take her with me, it usually means a visit with friends who have dogs, the dog park, my brothers house or the...

Please don't wait until next week, call today.

The black kong is the toughest. I haven't heard of any dogs destroying that one - although I am sure it's happened somewhere. You can freeze some peanut butter and kibble inside, it can provide...

Please get him to the vet ASAP. There are emergency vets open on Sundays. If your vet is closed, they will probably have an emergency number on their recording. If not look up an emergency animal...

You need to become top dog in your house, right now he truly believes he is in chargen I would suggest some leadership training/exercises. I believe Labman has some in his sticky at the top of the...
