    Not eating and throwing up bile

    Hello , Might sound a bit random, but could it potentially be anxiety? Is he acting anxious at all? Is he whining or crying? It’s just that, when I went through severe anxiety in 2013-2014, I used to throw up bile, and sometimes unknown physical issues can actually turn out to have a...

    Can anyone help

    That could be just clapping your hands or an ah-ah.

    Not eating and throwing up bile

    Maybe you could contact the PDSA and/or another veterinary charity and kindly ask for their advice here? I will pray for him, you and all…

    Issue with our Shiba Inu

    Maybe try vegan dog food and try making it smell appealing to her? Her sense of smell is by far better than yours. Maybe you could try adding some of this?Dog Food Topper - Veggie Crumble | Dragonfly ProductsDog Food Topper - Veggie Crumble | Dragonfly ProductsDog Food Topper - Veggie Crumble |...

    Bowel problems

    I would give your vet a call and ask if it would be worth worming her early. Also, I would just give her some plain rice, oats or pumpkin, as that should be easier on her tummy for the time being. Bland foods are good for people with upset stomachs, and they can be good for dogs with upset...

    Really upset, would welcome advice

    Will you be taking him with when you go away? If not, it would be a good idea to see if you can find a good dog-sitter or kennel person, or someone who could have him in their house, who also has knowledge on dog behaviour. That way, they may be able to help train him as well as looking after...

    9 month old Sprockerpoo problems

    First of all, the whole alpha dominance thing is false and is based on flawed research done on captive wolves. Wolf packs in the wild don’t generally have alphas, except, in rare cases, when a stranger joins the pack. It’s usually really just that the parents are in charge of their pups. Wolf...

    Inherited dogs

    This may be controversial, but actually the whole pack hierarchy thing is false. It is based on flawed research done on captive wolves. Please research this. When training dogs, it is more about being a good teacher to your dog/s, rather than a dominant leader. You do have to have authority...

    walking my dog is a nightmare

    The best way is to not let him walk the way he wants to walk and only walk the way you want him to walk. If he refuses to walk the way you want him to, either stop for a few minutes or walk the opposite way from where he wants to go/be. A good thing to do might be to just walk with him the way...

    Can anyone help

    Maybe a verbal/sound-based correction (not scolding or shouting or abuse) when she lunges and acts aggressively, and then giving her a treat and some praise when she is good and calm, could work? It would also be a good idea to ask a professional, humane dog behaviourist (please only seek the...

    Is Kennel Cough Vaccine necessary?

    I would ask your vet kindly about this and follow their advice. Kennel cough is awful. It is kind of like canine covid! I personally would advise that you do get her vaccinated against kennel cough, but I’m not a vet, and, if I’m right, there may be risks with the vaccine…

    Sid went to rainbow bridge today

    Hello , Aw, I’m really sorry to hear that. I will pray for him, you and all… Maybe you could plant lots and lots of lovely, wildlife-friendly, wildlife-attracting flowers, plants and trees in his memory and honour. Maybe you could also donate to a dog/animal rescue/animal rights organisation in...

For ages, I have wanted to either get paid or voluntary work. I would like to either work with animals or to help...
