Question by nottahater2002: What are some symptoms of dog illness?

My 16 year old dog springer/ lab has not been drinking alot of water yet is having excessive drooling and his eyes are watering. This is a dog who will eat everything he gets his paws on but he has been acting really strange and being picky with his food.He is just acting weird confused etc etc won’t go outside and potty he just pottys wherevere hes at and he hasnt been pottying very much. Any suggestions on what this could beor what is going on??

Best answer:

Answer by good2balive
At the ripe old age of 16, these symptoms could be caused by a multitide of problems. Failure of any major organs–kidneys, liver, heart, etc. Cancer. Diabetes. Many, many possibilities, though they probably all lead back to one thing: he’s just old and these are the things really old dogs do. Just don’t let him suffer.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – How Can I Make My Dog Stop Barking??

Why do dogs bark?

Breed – some dogs were bred to bark such as hounds and dogs used as guards

Frustration – energy not burned by appropriate exercise can manifest itself in barking

Emotional need – boredom, anxiety, excitement

Attention – barking will get them attention – whether it is good or bad

Noise – dogs, people, thunder, cars, horns, doorbells, fireworks etc….

Physical need – hungry, needs to eliminate

Barking can be one of the most difficult behaviors to modify. It is a self rewarding activity meaning the act of barking is its own reward in many instances. Barking is also an normal and innate behavior, meaning barking is in a dog’s genetic makeup. A basic foundation of obedience training is a must! Excessive barking, really is not the problem, it is a symptom. To cure the symptom, we must find out why he is barking to decrease the occurance and teach him to stop barking when you say.

Leaving your dog in the back yard while you are away can lead to boredom, excited or anxious barking. Excessive barking outdoors may lead to lawsuits. It may be best to leave your dog inside or in a crate if necessary to prevent the annoyance to your neighbors. If your dog is barking in the back yard, try leaving then sneaking back to a spot where you can watch your dog without him knowing you are there and observe when he is barking. Is he barking at something he sees or hears or is he barking just for the sake of barking? If you see that he is barking AT something, the first thing to do is try to prevent the dog from seeing or hearing the things that are triggering his barking. If he is barking for the sake of barking, that is something entirely different.

Is he bored? Make sure he has plenty of toys that you can rotate on a daily basis. Chew toys that can be stuffed with a yummy filling then frozen can keep your dog busy. Hiding different toys around the back yard or in the house can also keep him busy looking for the next toy (this is not recommended for dogs that are destructive). Interactive toys that make noise, have food stuffed in them or can be pushed around for treats to fall out of are all great ways to keep him busy.

Dogs are highly social animals; they need adequate exercise, stimulation and attention for them to lead a balanced life. When they don’t get the exercise, stimulation and attention, they become frustrated and that frustration will manifest into unacceptable behaviors such as excessive barking, digging, destructive chewing etc…

Do not scold or comfort your dog when he is barking as this will either have no effect or encourage this behavior. Wait until there is a lull in the barking and then praise your dog for being quiet.

Socializing your pet to new experiences is important. Expose him to new people, sights and sounds and praise and reward when he is quiet. This needs to be done often and repeated throughout his life.

If your dog is barking in his crate, it is very important not to talk to him, yell at him or give him any attention what so ever until he has stopped barking. Timing is critical; the only time he is allowed out of his crate is when he is being quiet. Keeping your dog on a feeding schedule and knowing approximately when your dog needs to go potty will help you determine if he is barking because he needs to potty or because he just wants out or wants your attention.

If your dog is inside and barking at noises outside, leaving the television or radio on at a medium level can help take his mind off the sudden noises that happen outside. If he is barking at things he sees, try leaving the blinds closed or blocking off the area that gives him a view to the outside world.

To stop your dog from barking excessively, teach the “quiet” cue (you can name it anything you want to such as “shh”, “enough”, “thank you”). This is done in stages:

Stage 1 – Teaching your dog that “Quiet” equals yummy things.

When your dog is NOT barking, say “quiet” along with a hand signal such as putting your finger to your lips, or you can choose your own command and hand signal and give your dog a high value treat. Repeat this as often as you can until when you are in another room and you say quiet he comes running to you knowing he will get a treat; and until you can just give the hand signal and he gets excited knowing he is getting a treat.

Stage 2 – Teaching your dog what “Quiet” or “Shh” means.

Now that your pup associates the sound with yummy things, wait until he is barking and say “quiet” along with using your hand signal and then just wait. Do not repeat the cue. The instant your pup stops barking, say “good quiet” and give the yummy treat. Do this until as soon as you say “quiet” or give the hand signal, he stops barking.

Stage 3 – Expecting a longer silence.

Once he understands that when you say quiet, he has to stop barking, you start to delay giving the treat. Slowly increase the amount of time your pup has to be quiet before getting the treat. At first it should be just a couple of seconds, and then slowly add a couple of seconds at a time until when you say quiet, he stays quiet. You may need to distract him once he has stopped barking by leading him to another area, doing some obedience practice with him or play a game with him.

I know 1 human year is 7 dog years. How many cat years is there to 1 human year?

Question by Peanut Butter Mocha: I know 1 human year is 7 dog years. How many cat years is there to 1 human year?

My bf’s got his ktty in June of 2005, at the time, the kitten was about two months old(she’s been in and out of homes), so now that would make her about 10 months?(bad at math). How old is she now in cat years? Some say she’s a full grown cat, but I do know that it takes a dog one human year to be full grown. How long(humanly speaking), does it take for a cat to be full grown? How many months/years, is that # in cat years?

Best answer:

Answer by lilacmom1956
I don’t know! I even asked my vet, but he just looked at me funny! I will check back to see if anyone can fill us both in.

Answer by blueaub
There are many tables for converting between cat years (age) and human years (age). Many of them use a very simple calculation (e.g. 1 cat year equals 7 human years). This is inaccurate as:

The average life for a house cat (excluding accidental death, in particular car accidents) is about 1/5th that of a person, not 1/7th.
A cat has a relatively short childhood. A cat with an expected lifespan of 15 years would be mature (sexually and physically) within 1 year. A man with an expected lifespan of 75 years (the current approximate male life expectancy in developed countries) would have the equivalent maturity at 15 years of age. Thus the cat reached maturity in 1/15th of its lifespan whereas the person was mature in 1/5th (15 years / 75 years) of his lifespan. Consequently, while one can say that the man is living 5 times as long as the cat, so each cat year is equal to 5 human years, the first year of life for the cat sees the same amount of development as in the first 15 or so human years. For this reason, an accurate mapping of cat years to human years needs to consider factors other than expected lifespan.
In brief, a one year old cat has the same maturity as a 15 year old human, a two year old cat has the same maturity as a 25 year old person, thereafter each calendar year a cat ages the equivalent of 4 human years.

The last time I went to the vet with my male cat to get shots, about two years ago, he had a chart on the wall for the ages of cats. My oldest cat at the time was 14 and the chart said that she was 72. I’ll let you do the math.

Is this a real question or an ad? If it is a real question, I would assume coccidia was the most common. Accidental injuries would surpass that, but it isn’t an illness.

I am guessing parvo. And it could all be avoided if people would just vaccinate their dogs.

Training A Dog At Home

By: Dog Trainer

About the Author

To train a puppy is easy and it can be done quickly. They can be molded and trained according to our own wishes. There is lesser tendency to develop bad habits in the dog that is trained as a puppy.

(ArticlesBase SC #1928503)

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Training A Dog At Home

Mostly we prefer dog as a pet. When we home a puppy we love to play with him and watch him playing around and running here and there. But it becomes difficult when you have to clean mess created by him. The best dog training advice to a dog lover is that he should train his pet while he or she is still a puppy. Usually we love to see our simple commands followed by our dog like sit, stand, rollover, stay or go.

To train a puppy is easy and it can be done quickly. They can be molded and trained according to our own wishes. There is lesser tendency to develop bad habits in the dog that is trained as a puppy. We can say that a puppy is similar to a young child who follows what it is told to do. It can easily adapt certain routines.

The dog trainers can easily train your dog and mold your puppy but it is more ideal to train your puppy at home. The most important thing which should be kept in mind while training the puppy is that your puppy should undergo some obedience training. This will help your pet to behave well. This will help you to make your pet less aggressive.

While training our dog we should correct our dogs when they make mistakes. This will make them to avoid that mistake again. Try to treat them politely and say in stern manner. you should not punish your dog severely. Punishments given harshly can produce aggressive behavior in your pets in long run. When your dog commits a mistake, it is advised not to pay any attention to him. Every dog wants attention, every time your dog goes wrong you should just ignore him. This will make him go crazy making him not to do that again.

You should also make surer that you are not training your dog just randomly. You should follow a proper routine and should get some training manual. If you can access the dog training classes, that would be even better. You will be taught many things about the complicated dog behavior in those classes. After having gone through those classes, you will be able to train you dog better. You will be able to understand your dog and you will become even a better dog trainer for your own dog.

Also make sure that you are paying attention to the needs of your dog. Your dog will learn the things faster if you are not ignoring him. Do reward him when ever he does the things the way you want him to do. This will encourage him and you will be finding it easy t train hi.
