Not that it has anything to do with your good point, but how much was the dog?

Sounds like good news.

Truly bizarre. She probably planned it from the beginning figuring a day care would find the dog a good home. Can you imagine running into her at the mall months later?

Pit Bulls are getting a bad rap. The Buster Brown Shoe Dog was a Pit Bull. These dogs are trained. It's like crime being blamed on video games. The news is reactionary that way. Bad owners should be banned from caring for pets.

We do two major cleanings a year where we go through everything, and weekly we do the usual smaller levels of cleaning. Your dog is a go getter.

Cute dog. He looks like a little trouble maker. Haha.

Are there deed restrictions in the neighborhood? There are rules about dogs not being a nuisance. I would contact the neighborhood organization if you have one. Have other neighbors contact too if they are being bothered. They may get the message to do a little training. If not, you can always...

Nothing but great advice posted. Catching up on the shots will make you feel more comfortable. A follow up post on how your pup is doing would be interesting.

Vigilance and praise for going outside would help. The owner may be just too loose about how the dog is handled. It will be hard to fix the problem without getting serious and being vigilant. What great photos. What a nice looking pup. Can you recommend her a training book?

Same problem here with our Lab. The lack of consistency caused confusion in her learning. Maybe you should be the official "feeder" of the pup. Hopefully there is a way to do that when working long hours.

What a mess. I can't remember the last time any pet product has turned out to be deadly. Hopefully they will get to the bottom of this.

Get input from another vet for sure. My goodness those are horrible symptoms you are describing. I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. Post a follow up on your pup's condition.

It's amazing just how many items and plants are toxic to dogs and cats. The lists are endless. Raisins toxicity is one I've seen posted.

Itching, but no visible bite or hotspot? That's odd. Is it continuing?

Our Lab and our cat are sneezing like crazy with all the pollen here. The cars and driveway have a yellow film. It's unbelievable how much gets into the air this time of year. Is your pup lethargic too? If there are other symptoms, it might be worth a checkup.
