Dog pregnancy is 63 - 65 days regardless of what breed they are.

Foxes are typically a nocturnal animal, which means that they are awake & active at night time. It is easier for them to hunt for their food during the night as their prey (food) is usually settling down and trying to sleep. Foxes like other nocturnal animals have developed eyesight that allows them to see … Read more

Much like anything else, it depends on the dog as well as the dosage. My vet had suggested that I give one of the foster dogs I had once, one tablet of benadryl to try and calm her thru thunderstorms. It didn't work on her, in fact it made her hyper and this was the … Read more

A female dog's heat cycle (regardless of breed) is 15 to 18 days long. :)

Force, Power, Thor, Tycoon, Mogul, Bala, Liam, Nero Just to name a few for you :)

No do not give your dog amoxicillin pills. They are designed and the dosage is for that of a human. Dogs are not able to process our medications they way we do - in fact it could do more harm then help him. You could call a vet office and see if there is anything … Read more

It's not necessarily normal or abnormal. Has she just recently been spayed?

It could be that there is another female in your area that is in heat. The scent of a female being in heat can travel for a few miles. He could be confused and acting out on instinct to the nearest female … Read more

You can, that is if she will leave her pups long enough to do so. I would refrain from using shampoo just in case any would remain on her while she is nursing. Keeping her teats free and clean while she nurses the pups is important though. Warm water and a very soft cloth... No … Read more

After working in the vet field and having bred litters, you should NOT wash a newborn pup or puppies until they are SIX weeks old. Their bodies can not regulate temperature, there are no shampoos that are gentle enough for their systems.

Have him neutered. He is doing what comes instinctively to him. There is a female in heat and he wants to mate. There's nothing really you can do to calm him down. You could try giving the female some chlorphyll liquid capsules in her food to cut down on the scent she gives off during … Read more

Her vulva will not be swollen any more, and the bleeding will have stopped.

Neutering a male dog will remove his urge to mate if there is a female in heat nearby. Some males might continue to 'hump' if it is more of a behavioral issue/done out of asserting dominance.

Your vet will typically prescribe them to you for your dog starting around 4 to 5 months of age, after they have tested your pup to make sure they do not have heartworm.

I have a regular tower cpu at work, and a laptop at home. I love my laptop! One of the things I would suggest though while using a laptop is to get a cooling pad/tray. When I first got my laptop, I didn't realize just how hot the under side of it would get while … Read more

Average heat cycles are 15-18 days

The Irish Wolfhound :)

I have to smile at this as it is a typical thing with puppies in my breed. :) What you could try is getting a tin can (like a pepsi can) and throw a couple pebbles or pennies into it. Keep the can nearby when he is out with you so you can shake it … Read more

Having two different colored eyes is not necessarily a sign of blindness or that vision will be impaired. In many breeds of dogs (mine included), different colored eyes occur all the time as well as one eye having multi colored irises. If you are worried about your dog, or if he is showing signs of … Read more

I can only speak from the experience of two litters that I helped breed. I began to introduce the litter to a mush meal (plain yogurt, cottage cheese, and soggy puppy food) at the late stage of four weeks of age. After a week of them eating this in between still nursing, I began to … Read more
