Your dog looks like a mop!

Well, it has been a year since Bella the Pitbull ruptured her first cruciate ligament. Two surgeries, several emergency vet visits, and a year later and she is living a great dog life. She is quite vocal. When she is looking for attention she mumbles and barks. These dogs really need daily attention and things to keep them busy. Her energy comes in bursts - she'll race and jump around like a puppy and then completely sack out. She loves to cuddle with my wife on the couch. Bella has been a great addition to the pack.

My cat is in heat and the meowing is beyond ridiculous. Will it stop if I stick a pencil in her vagina?

No, it wouldn't. Why do you have an unspayed cat?

[Skeleton Jelly]

How about an electric toothbrush?

I have an unspayed cat because she doesn't go outside...and I was hoping it would grant me an unofficial permit to stick a pencil in her ass.

Those things are full of bacteria.

Or at least it would be after it winds up in your cat's vagina.

Read back in this thread for some good reasons to have an indoor cat spayed. I was in the same situation. I also tried the pencil trick. Worked alright, but then she'll crawl all over your lap, which is annoying.I had mine spayed and haven't regretted it for a second. Money well spent, and she hasn't gotten all fat and annoying (no ex-wife jokes necessary...).

My friend has a four year old shepard that is epileptic..the dogs had a rough six months or so and is on a few different medications daily. Lately the dog has been refusing to go to the bathroom outside. Instead it waits for my friend to go to sleep or leave the room etc. She's disciplined the dog and has started crating her at night. The dog still bugs her to go out/go for walks but doesn't do anything out there. Any suggestions?

[speedz99]

The dog is probably on phenobarbital, which can cause excessive urination, but it's probably more of a behavioral issue than anything else if it just refuses to ever go to the bathroom outside. Crate at night, reward for going to the bathroom outside, try to catch it in the act of going inappropriately and take it outside immediately...I don't know. Behavior is next semester, sorry.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. She is on pheno and they recently added in potassium bromide. The dog can't stand the taste of the bromide so we were thinking that might have set off the behaviour issue-shes going to keep up with the crate and is hoping the dog will give in and go outside once so she can start rewarding her. The whole ordeal with the illness has been pretty insane. As it does the epilepsy seemed to come out of nowhere and she had a shepherd/doberman mix that attacked it during the seizures which made the situation that much worse. I'm not sure if you've touched on it yet but I guess this is fairly common with bigger dogs (pact mentality-which I found out via google) however as good as her vet is he claims to have never seen it so the dogs remained living together allowing it to happen more then once.Six months of trying to get to the right pheno dosage, multiple surgeries as a result of the attacks and over five thousand in vet bills has left my friend drained and frustrated. However I got a really nice shepherd/doberman mix and I'm just hoping my jack russel never has a seizure...
