My senior German Shepherd is having a hard time walking and it makes me sad to see this. What brand of glucosamine, perhaps, would you recommend? From personal experiences, whatever you recommend, did it work for your dog?

She very rarely has accidents but yesterday in 12 hours she did it blatantly 3 times (kitchen, her bed, our bed) even though she had only just been outside. The third time it had a lot of blood in it. I am taking her to the vets first thing tomorrow, but in the meantime I am just curious. A year or two ago she had a bladder stone removed which was the size of a golf ball. She had blood in her urine then. She has been on medication since to try and prevent them from forming again. A few times recently she tries to urinate but not much always comes out. Could she have bladder stones again or does it sound like something else? I am just wondering because she keeps doing it in the house. I am worried because a week or two before my other dog had to be put to sleep he kept having accidents in the house. It doesn’t mean that she is nearing the end does it? If she needs an operation again I’m not sure how she will go with the anasthetic because she has a bad heart.

Mother dearest and me.. :/?

By admin · Comments (2)

Okay.. So I’m 16 almost turning 17.. But my mother is smuthering me.. I just got my permit in January and have driven twice since then :/.. I am not allowed outside without asking ..( WE LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE).. I’m allowed to go to the mall.. but I have to stay on the main street because I’m not allowed to cross streets alone.. I’m not allowed to go to my friends houses without supervision or if they only have a father.. or if she doesn’t know the person.. let alone I don’t even think about going to parties.. I’m not even allowed to go to my boyfriends when his mom is there.. and he can only come over here for a few hours.. and we have to stay downstairs and watch tv on the couch :/… She won’t let me drive with people, yet she complains about driving me herself.. and I have been at summer for about 2 months and I have gone to the movies once with a family friend… and had my friend spend the night ONE time.. I apperciated both of those.. But it’s kinda pathetic.. :[ I’m 16 for crying out loud.. 1 and 1/2 years and I am out of here.. -_-”.
We can’t even be in the same room without butting heads.. :[ and I want to spend more time with my friends.. But everytime I ask to do something she gets upset at me.. tells me she is busy.. or she is too tired.. so I say okay.. and she tells me I am a selfish *beep* who does nothing but take.. She says I don’t earn anything I get and I never help around the house.. But just today alone I have.. done five loads of laundry.. stripped all the beds sheets.. vaccumed.. the dishes.. I have cleaned vomit from the tolits.. cleaned blood off of sheets.. I have cleaned the guest room spotless after watching her realtives children for a week.. I have picked up the entire house.. took the trash out.. fed the dogs.. watered the plants.. and I think thats it.. and it’s till not enough.. I have lost so many friends because they think I am always blowing them off.. and I just don’t know what to do any more.. I never say the right thing.. If I argue it’s a bad attitude.. I say okay.. it’s a bad attitude.. If I say nothing at all I am being disrepectful for iqnoring her.. If I said your right sorry I asked she tells me I am playing games with her and I am just saying that so she will shut up.. It’s like she doesn’t even take the time to see what my attitude is like.. she just assumes it’s bad.. :[ She makes me feel like a terrible daughter.. And I guess I am selfish for always wanting something.. But it’s getting to the point where I am starting to literally hate her.. I know that is terrible.. Maybe not hate.. but it’s certainly not liking. And it’s sad because right now.. I look at 1 1/2 years till collage and I never want to come back :[..

How this all happened was I asked her if I could drive.. on our way to koals.. she told me no she had laundry.. I said okay.. she told me I had a bad attitude and she can’t bring me any where without me wanting something :[ So I just didn’t talk.. and said sorry so she told me I don’t help her.. I don’t earn things and I am disrespectful.. :/

She always tell me I need to respect her.. but I wish she would repect me too :( . I am tired of not having an opinion.. and wish she would just see I am a person too. * Sigh* And when I try talking to her about all this.. she tells me I am disrepecting her and claims I am arguing because I’m not agreeing when she tells me the problem is me not listening to her.. I have no idea what to do.

This is all the back story.. Now.. for the questions..
How can I help her more? I feel like I am not doing enough… What else can I do around the house.. there doesn’t seem like much but she says there is so much for me to do.. And when I ask her what she tells me she shouldn’t have to tell me and I should just do it. What ever that means :/

How can I stop stepping on her feet?

I don’t want to give up relationship over her anymore.. But there is no balence.. She won’t let me… and I hate asking for things because she makes me feel selfish.. So most of the time I just don’t bother to ask her anymore… and just make an excuse to my friends.. And my friends are good friends.. but they grow tired of being blown off and I don’t blame them.. I wouldn’t want to be my friend either..

How do I show appreciation? I try to say thank you everytime she does something and have a great attitude.. But everytime I get back from doing something she finds a reason to yell at me.. and then later call me ungrateful because of it.. :[

And finally.. I want to have a realationship with my mommy.. :{ But it’s almost impossible.. I want to be able to rely on her for things and tell her when I’m having a bad day or when I have a problem.. But I can’t knowing that I will never live up to what she wants me to be.. How do I fix this relationship if I am the onl

My dog threw up twice and he keeps pacing back nd forth and trying to dig he is very restless he can’t stay still he is calm but just for a few minutes. What do I do? He probably ate something during the day but I don’t know what.
What can I do so he can feel better??? I am concerned about him.

Last time I gave it to her was on June 24th. A week later, I gave her First Shield as well because the fleas around here are crazy AND I treat my yard every 3-4 weeks. This has worked awesome for me, well them. I have another dog and he is flea-less, he also has more hair. They are majority outside dogs, fyi, except when it gets cold.

Reason I ask is she has been dragging her butt all day. I know this is usually a sign for worms.

I did however forget to give her, her worm shield this month, so i’m wondering if it could be hookworms? The first shield is suppose to help with that, i know, but we were really close to where Alex hit, the mosquitoes have been insane!

I also dont know if it has anything to do with it, but she had a limp, vet gave her anti-steroids it came back a couple days ago. She said it looked like she pulled a muscle or something like that…

I know I need to take her to the vet but probably wont give me an appt for a few days, I’m just curious what it could be.

My sister is at her wits end. She has 2 dogs. Chihuahua/Rat Terrior Mix (Brothers from separate litters) This pup is 8 months old and obsessed with chewing up one of every pair of her shoes, nothing else, just shoes. The other dog has never done this. She has tried everything she knows to try, even techniques from the dog whisperer. Even when she puts them out of his reach, he will climb to get them. Any ideas on breaking his “shoe fettish” would be greatly appreciated.
