If you have a very active, hyper dog, massage is a great technique to calm them down. Massage also creates a unique bonding experience for both of you. Enjoy!
Avatar m tn s belly is sagging, and no amount of exercise of massage will help. Because of the Cushings, your dog produces more cortisol, and the cortisol is responsible for the extra fat around your dogs stomach. Cortisol also eats away at muscle tissue, so that is attributing to your dogs sagging stomach as well. Check back often, as others who are more knowledgable about this disease may respond.
Avatar f tn I wouldn't give him any more aspirin than you're already giving him. Cocker Spaniels are small dogs, you don't want to give him any more than you have to because you could seriously damage his stomach. What I would do, since you know what his problem is, and you know how he did it, is to just keep him quiet for the next couple of days. I would ice it down every couple of hours for tonight, and then tomorrow I would switch to putting heat on it.
Avatar n tn One of my dogs get sort of a 'snort snort snort' sound at the back of her throat when she get's too excited. Does it happen when she's worked up or playing or excited? Mine also sometimes makes the noise when she drinks water too fast. Does that happen with yours? Side-Note: I think it's really quite amusing that you can't write out the name of your breed of dog without the site converting the text to "****".
483733 tn?1326798446 We had a cocker spaniel who was just shy of 20 yrs old; we had her for 13 yrs - some of you may remember that we had to have her put to sleep just a couple of weeks ago. She loved to lick my hubby's feet and legs and he was content to let her "slurp away" for as long as she was willing.... Personally, one or two licks to let me know she loved me was more than enough for ME.... then it was "quit, stop, no more, nadda"..
Avatar f tn Assisted walking Use a walking harness or homemade sling to help your dog stand up. Be sure to support the pet properly while walking.

Avatar n tn Can a dog get an abcess from a snake bite to his head.? Swelling,sore draining today. We have massage a drained it three times today. Dog seems to feel good. Hasn't stopped eating. After the draining it goes down for awhile, then fills back up. We did not see the dog get snake bitten. We had previous dog to get bitten before and it looked like the same thing until. Has lose hair in this area. Looks like a big swollen boil.
Avatar m tn My 6 year old shihtzu is having issues standing on his hind legs, it seems that the left side is the side hurting him more because when I tried to massage it, he tried to snap at me. Something he doesn't normally dog; about a few months ago we went through something similar but this time it was in the front and he was limping as if he couldn't put any weight on it. He isn't overweight and is still playful, however, I am concerned since it seems to be reoccurring.

Avatar n tn Four days ago i went in one of a small town in East Asia countries where the concept of massage centers are very common. I went to the massage centre of the hotel where a girl helped me with massage. She asked me to kiss her and put my hands in her naked vagina. I did not kiss her or inserted my hands in her vagina or had any sex relationship with her. During the massage i only touched her naked breasts.
Avatar f tn My dog lays with me, but always behind my legs. None of my family members have ever had issues with them. Your choice though!
Avatar m tn 1,before the massage i got a wound in my ankle ,it is as large as 1/4 of fingernail,because i walked so the wound was broke again.And during the massage the girl pushed the wound ,i donot whether there are wounds or blood on her hand.from reading this site i am not very worry about this.BUT i still want to ask :IS this a risk? 2,when i get home i find a cut looks like a needlestick wound with its surrounding swell,but i didnot how i got this wound?
Avatar n tn Ali ! If you are scared that much, stop visiting massage parlors. As Teak said, you were never at any risk of HIV, with double protection,,, (a condom on plus jockey cotton underwear) :-), though you do not need them in a full body massage unless you decide to "upgrade" the massage services. HIV only transmits via unprotected anal and vaginal sex when we talk about its sexual routes.
152660 tn?1291755571 Skeeter is a one dog /dog. Getting another cat would seem counterproductive. I mean poor Melvin is Terrified by Skeeter, and Taz is sequestered downstairs so as not to get in Skeeters way. Now what happened to the 10 month old kitten you had --well I am afraid to ask.....I think you should find a new loving home with no dogs for poor Melvin so he can enjoy his life and forget about bringing another poor cat into a home with a "Skeeter".
Avatar n tn Others vets and internal vet doctors suggest that if you think your dog has a blood clot, do not massage the area as the clot may travel to different areas of their body. I hope your dog is okay.
Avatar m tn I went to a massage therapist to get a massage, the last customer was at least 30 min. She began my massage and used lotion and about 20 min. in to massage she massaged my hands and fingers, I forgot that the day before my dog scratched my finger and it bled. When she rubbed my hands one drop of blood appeared on the cut but nothing else, but she did rub my cut vigorously.
Avatar f tn t work you could also do what I did with my first... drag your hubby 80lb hunting dog out for a walk and bathroom break and fight to get him back in the house. LOL. :-) That poor dog was scared of pregnant women after that :-).
Avatar n tn It sounds like you went over and above the actions of most pet owners in finding answers and treatment for your dog. Please have no regrets or guilt for his death. A post-mortem (autopsy) examination may have pinpointed the cause of the seizures, but maybe not. It appears your dog is just one of those cases in which you'll never really know exactly what happened.
Avatar n tn Well I respect your choice. There is a lower incidence of breast cancer but not total protection, if she's spayed after her first "Heat". But I see the dilemma. It's difficult, isn't it? To make the perfect choice for your dog. Hormones do play a part in bone health. But then again, so does regular good exercise, and general fitness. But it is true that bone development, particularly of the leg bones, would benefit from some sex hormones.....
Avatar f tn I have a dog that has crust on the top surface of his nose- a buildup, (I think) as a result of digging in the dirt and sunburn combined. When I scrape it off with my finger, it's a bit raw underneath, as it seems to have formed like a protective layer. I've been putting Aloe Vera on to help soften and remove buildup gradually, but it seems like it builds up again pretty quickly.
Avatar m tn Most of the time with pain management and simple lifestyle changes, dogs can continue living a healthy life. Wishing you and your dog all the best!
436837 tn?1293793226 That is interesting. Please let us know how your dog is doing with this Tea Tree Oil - I've never heard of it but am glad you shared the information. I hope your dog responds well.
4838572 tn?1367706719 I remember when my little boy kicked for the first time. My dog was laid on my stomach, suddenly I felt this huge kick, I thought the dog had done it, but she looked at me like why you hitting me! Now she lays on my stomach all the time, it's like a massage to her. She even kisses my belly! Though it's getting a bit big for her to balance on these days. Kicks are awesome!
Avatar f tn Just finished cleaning the house. Now me the cat and dog are chilling on the sofa for quick nap time. Later I'll walk the dog cook supper wait for my man to get home give him a massage then watch a movie then bed.
