my mom just recently (about 2 weeks ago) adopted a dog (believed to be miniature pincher) who developed kennel cough. She was really thin to begin with since she's a rescue but she is still so bony. Her cough is better, she only just scratches at her nose and sneezes a bit. She is on antibiotics...

My little Dachshund/Rat Terrier mix, Lowla, is a really awful shedder! I have no idea how she sheds so much hair, but her coat is just not very thick or soft at all. On her chest and belly it seems to be kinda patchy, but not really, only if you look closely. She did have problems with Demodex...

So lowla (Dachshund/Rat Terrier Mix) has this stuffed tiger that's a bit larger than her that she likes to bite on the face and hump vigerously. She's been spayed since she was 10 weeks, she's now a little over 6 months. At first I tried to stop her from humping it and then I got so tired of...

two questions: 1. when my dog gets tape worms do I have to go to the vet every time or is there an Over The Counter treatment I can keep on hand? 2. Will it hurt my dog to bathe her every 2-3 weeks? I like her clean and smelling nice. she rolls around in stuff a lot, will it damage her...

yesterday little Lowla (6 months) was chewing on something, well I didn't think much of it because she's always finding something somewhere to eat, it sounded hard though so I was concerned so I opened her mouth to check and lo and behold one of her baby teeth fell onto the floor. She tried to...

So Lowla is good about going outside to do her business but now that we're in a house and we spend the majority of our time upstairs we can't see her go sit by the back door so we went out and bought a call bell as per someone's suggestion here that I thought was brilliant instead of hanging...

Are there any reccomended vitamin supplements? I did a forum search but didn't come up with much. My vet reccomended I put Lowla on some vitamins to help her immune system catch up and rid her of her mange. I have since switched her to Canidae so she's eating good and I got what I guess was the...

I'm starting to think that Lowla has the not going in the house thing figured out. She's learned to hold it much much longer and now seems to prefer to only go when she really needs to rather than every few hours out of habit. It's been 2 weeks since she's had an accident, and the one she had...

So we're finally moving into a house, not our own, we're house sitting for a co-worker for the next year and they packed up their bedroom stuff so it's a great opportunity to get some new furniture. We are in desperate need of a good quality mattress. We move tomorrow and were hoping to go...

So lowla is coming up on 4 months shortly and she's about 80% house trained. Pretty much the only time she goes in the house is when we notice it later. We call them phantom poops because just randomly we'll notice the poop and then backtrack everything we did and who was watching her and we...

I feel so bad for poor Lowla, her mange seems to be getting worse instead of better. They gave her two more vaccines when I took her in to be diagnosed for the mange and I think those are making it even harder for her immune system to respond and fight off the mites. I think I'm going to switch...

So I was just playing around with Lowla's ears yesterday while she was contently chewing on a toy and I pulled them down into a flop and it was SUCH an adorable look for her. I really liked it. She looked more like her Dach side than her Terrier side. Anyway, I was wondering how difficult it is...

my puppy, Lowla is starting to get these balding spots on the very top of her head and one on her back. From one angle you can't tell, but from another angle it's pretty obvious. She doesn't seem to scratch anymore than usual in those spots. The skin looks fine, no crusties or inflamation, her...

Hi Everyone! I probably should have posted here before posting to the health board, but anyway. I am a first time puppy owner (well I had a puppy as a kid, but I didn't take care of it, mom did) with my husband. We recently adopted Lowla, our 11 week Dachshund/Rat Terrier Mix from a shelter. She...

Hello everyone, this is my first post, but I've been lurking for about a week now. I got my puppy Lowla (a Dachshund/Terrier Mix approx 11 weeks old) at a shelter last Sunday. It's a pretty reputable shelter that takes good care of their animals. Anyway, she had her spay surgery last Sunday in...
