Hi, My 7 week old golden was just diagnosed with puppy strangles. He is now 9 weeks old and he has sores mostly on his nose and few around his eyes. He has been on prednisone and an antibiotic for about 1.5 weeks. He is responding well. We soak him in an antibacterial bath the vet told us about and it seems to help. My question is how is your dog doing? Did it leave any scarring? If so, how bad? And about how long was your puppy on medication? I would love to hear from you. Tammy

PLEASE I WANT A JOOB AS A DOG SHOW HANDLER. BUT I CAN'T DO IT BY MYSELF BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A REGISTERD DOG TO PUT IN. I LIVE IN OHIO AND MY NAME IS CHELSEA. THANKS CHELSEA

I got a puppy recently and have been feeding Solid Gxxx Puppy food for my puppy. However, my vet has been recommending me to feed him Hill's Science Dxxx Large Breed Puppy food instead (since goldens grow slower than the small breed dogs, their calcium intake should be adjusted accordingly). But I have read that Hill's has corn meal, chicken by-product meal and BHA, so I am hesitant to switch to Hill's. What should I do?

I've some very conflicting stories on giving Heartworm meds to Goldens. I've heard some vets say don't give it at all, since it can be treated. Some say give it only during the warm season. And now I've just heard that it should be given year round. What's the deal??? Kathie

Our two and a half year old Golden Female was bred for the first time last week. She was bred four times, every other day. Now, she acts like it is uncomfortable to walk, she seems unlike her normal, playful self and recently cried when we brushed her near her genitals (something she has never done before). Please help.

This is a very difficult thing for me to do. I’m not used to asking for help from anyone. However, I don’t have a choice. 5 months ago, my wife and I bought a beautiful Golden Retriever pup named Sedona. She was just 6 weeks old and quickly became a part of our family. We love her more than we could have ever imagined. A few weeks ago, she started limping. After taking her to the vet, getting X-rays and second opinions, the result is that she has been diagnosed with osteochondrosis dissecans of the humerus head. This is a degenerative disease and requires surgery. The surgery costs $6000, which is not an amount we can come up with right now. The surgery needs to be done quickly, or we may not have a choice but to put her down. This is unthinkable to both of us. So we are put in the unfortunate position of asking for help. If you can find it in your heart to contribute a small amount to help save Sedona’s life, we would be forever grateful. Any donations we receive above and beyond the cost of the surgery will be returned. Thank you in advance for anything you can do. Jim & Heather Steineke N2352 Vandenbroek Rd. Kaukauna, WI 54130

My 11 y/o dog can no longer sense when he has to have a bowel movement. Does anyone know of a device similar to what horse drawn carriages use that would catch the poop before it hit the ground?

How do you teach a dog to retrieve the newspaper? I take my 5 month old outside everytime I go for the newspaper, but when I try to put it in his mouth, he shows no interest in carrying it? Any suggestions?

I have a 1 y/o Golden who has more blond than red fur. I was just wondering if anyone knows why this would be and/or how common it is. She is WKC registered and all of her litter looked like normal Golden's...We actually picked her because of her color. She is smaller than average as well (I think she was the runt)...could it just be a recessive gene? She is just the sweetest little thing...Thanks for any input!

Hi all, I have a beloved 12 year old black lab named Guinness. He has recently begun to struggle with arthritis in his back legs and he already was suffering from the beginnings of congestive heart failure. Recently however, a friend of mine turned me on to a new nutritional supplement for dogs called Canine Health Formula. It is a specific blend of fatty acids known for its antiinflammatory and heart protecting effects. Since I have started Guinness on this daily supplement he has been like a new dog. I can't remember the last time he was able to walk without a limp, and he never seems to labor anymore. I asked my vet about it and he wholeheartedly supported my decision to start him on this. Nonetheless, I just wanted to pass this info along to my fellow dog owners. I definitely think it is worth a try. Also...my friend actually told me that the reason he was using it in the first place is the effect it has on stopping itching from allergies. I don't know much about this because, luckily, my dog never suffered from them. I ordered mine off of the website. I will provide the link for any that think that it may be of help to their dog. http://www.Caninehealthformula.com Jeff

I've been considering a pup from a breeder and want to be sure I'm getting the proper paperwork. Can someone help me? If a breeder shows me a vets report on hip condition (not a OFC clearance) is this acceptable? Is a vets rating of fair an ok rating on the hips? Also how should a contract be worded on the health guarantee? These may not be easy questions to answer but any help or direction is appreciated. I want to make the right choice. I have other questions , but I'll start here.

My puppy is 4 months old and weighs 36 pounds. Is this within a normal range? He doesn't like to eat dry dog food, and as a result, I have to sit with him to get him to eat.

Contact them here for details: http://go.everwars.com/play2.x?p=74156

If you are planning to use a commercial food, go with a good grade of dry kibble. A treat every now and then is fine.

I have a puppy that is 13 weeks old he is a male and is a very good puppy except he has dandruff. or i guess thats what it is i brush him everyday and give him vitamins and bath him with special shampoo that is supposed to stop this. he has had it since i got him at six weeks. any help is appreciated. Thanks

What is the best dry or wet food to give to goldens? do you recommend giving treats such as dog bones? Thanks any input appreciated. I have heard so much about dog foods I am confused.

I am looking to surprise my husband with a golden, he had two growing up and about 2 years ago his childhood golden died with their 2 other dogs in a house fire while everyone was away at the airport picking up his dad. My husband was in DC at the time and I don't think he has ever really recovered from the loss. I can see it in his eyes when we see one in the pet store or on the street. I'd like to surprise my husband with a golden before he is shipped off. Please email me if you know of anyone who can help. We are currently stationed at Ft. Benning, GA right on the AL and GA stateline, but will be moving in a few months to Ft. Campbell, KY and on the stateline of KY and TN. Thanks

I must inform you that my dog, her name is Pinky, she is a 4 year old female and she is spoiled rotten. Last night, my mom was in our den, I'd just left and was getting ready for bed when, my mom started yelling for my dad and so, my dad and I ran in there and she told us that Pinky had just started flipping over for no reason. She's never done this before. Right before I ran in there, I heard a big thump. My mom earlier this morning told me that that thump was Pinky flipping over. Please help me because I love my dog more than anything and I need to know if something's wrong and if I need to take her to the vet. Thanks!

There is something VERY wroung with my dog. Last night, she started flipping over for mo apparent reason. She has NEVER done this before. Please, someone, help! What's wrong with her?!

Looking for goldendoodle puppies. We're in Florida but will be in northwest Iowa in July.

I LOVE GOLDEN RETRIEVERS. AN I LOVE BEING AROUND ANY TYPE OF DOG AND I JUST WANT TO BE A JR. DOG SHOW HANDLER. AND I LIVE IN OHIO TOO. I NEVER BEEN IN A DOG SHOW BEFOR BUT I WOULD LIKE TO TRY. MY E-MAIL IS: CHELSEA10642000@YAHOO.COM THANKS, CHELSEA

We have 4 goldens and love them all to death. They are spoiled rotten. Our youngest male has become increasingly more aggresive as he matures. Certain times I understand such as when one of our females was in heat and when she was close to delivery. We have tried confining him away from the other dogs and this seems to work for a time and they are fine then it is back to same thing. I have been bitten twice and have never experienced this with Goldens. I have had them all my life. I am hoping this is just Alpha dog syndrome and getting him fixed will take care of this. We were not planning on breeding him do to allergies so this seems like the logical next step he is only 15 months and sweet most of the time as well as hyper but that I can live with attacking my other dogs I cannot. He has been with the other dogs since birth as he is one of ours from our first litter so not sure were the agression is coming from.

Has anyone had any success with having a portion of a mouth tumor cut out. It is extending over his upper teeth and getting much harder to eat. It will be bleeding soon (again, as it did it at first). Will try almost making his food a liquid or is canned food better, making it very soft. HELP< HELP

I have a three and a half yr old golden retriever who has seasonal allergies. I have been giving her 25 mg Benadryl 3 times a day. She still scratches so far no hot spots. She is 65 lbs and would like to know if I could give her one more 25 mg a day. Or any info on what you suggest. She had to be put on pregnoson last yr. do to hot spots and I would like to avoid that if possible.

my 10 week old golden hops kinda when she is playing outside..the vet sed this could be a sign of hip displasia...has anyone had a golden who did this wen they were a pup? please help!

Regarding Sir Kokanee, I have a complete copy of diagnosis and can send by e-mail scanner if anyone can tell me if this will eventually dissolve as cutting to remove it seems too drastic in his mouth. HELP HELP HELP

Swelling rostral maxilla for 4 days. Deforming lesion. Results: chronic marked fibrosing and moderate mixed cellular deep dermatitius and pannicultis. Prognosis: Favorable if sections representative."

Dear friend I have a genuine doubt about rabies. I would like to know whether the dog, which has vaccinated antirabby, is safe from rabies. Some of the doctors told me we have to vaccinate again if the dog is bitten by a rabid animal. If it is so what is the use of antirabby vaccine. Is the rabies is originated from the body of dogs itself, without contact of rabid animal, bats, or raccoons. Some people say if vaccinated a dog antirabby, it will not show the symptoms of rabies though its affected rabies. Is it true? Please reply

Just got our first golden pup a week and a half ago and she won't go near the front door, which is where we want her to learn to do her business. When she's out, she won't stay out; wants to come in as soon as she finishes. Won't even stay outside to romp! I've never seen a puppy like this. Also, not motivated by food. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I just came across this webpage that I thought could be fun for anyone interested in entering their dogs in an online dog show. It's completely free of charge. If anyone is interested the address is http://www.geocities.com/OnlineDogShow/ Thanks!

We just got two puppies near Christmas and they are about ten weeks. One growls a lot though. When you go and move her she will growl and bite at you. The other one had been doing that but she eventually stopped. But she will bark all the time. She barks at the other one and it talks a while to get her to stop. If anyone knows how to get them to stop or do it less please help.

I am doing a project for school on dog intelligence, and thought it would be a good idea to include results form a test of my own, and to see if my results of different breed intelligence match what the experts say. It is a 70 question multiple choice test, and I was wondering if anyone would not mind taking a few minuets and taking the test about their dogs. Just emal me at spoonz28@hotmail.com and I would be glad to give you the test. Thanks, Danielle

We have an 11 week old male golden and for the past few weeks he become very scary and aggressive when we try to take certain things out of his mouth that are a no-no. It has occurred on three incidents, once with a sock and twice with paper napkins. I have a bite on my hand from the last one. He doesn't act this way around any of his toys or his food. We can take those away with no problem. We are very worried about this. Please help! (we start obedience class jan. 13th)

11 pups were born 10/27/02 - 8 females and 3 males. Our dog, Pesto, was bred with Taxi, our show dog male. They will be ready to go home in mid-December (14th approximately), 2002. Taxi (the lighter dog) is the pick of the litter and son of one of the most famous champion show dogs of the past 10 years. Pesto is the darker dog, and her mother (Basil) lives with us too. Pesto was the pick of the litter from Basil's first and only litter. The puppies' Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Uncle are members of our family and live with us in our home in northern Delaware. We are not a kennel. We are 2 veterinarians with 4 goldens in our family. All puppies will have been examined by 2 veterinarians (my wife and I), dewormed and had their first shots. Both parents have had Hip, Elbow, Eye, Heart, Thyroid, and other laboratory test clearances. This is more than I can say most breeders perform. You get what you pay for - cheaper dogs with greater potential for problems come from cheap, uneducated, unhealthy breeders. Grandparents have had health clearances checked also. Our dogs are healthy lovable family pets. All of our dogs are AKC registered, and the pups will have AKC papers. If you have further questions, feel free to email or call. If you are truly interested, request our Puppy Questionaire, so that you can provide us with further information. Let me know if you want more pictures.

We were contacted by a woman whose daughter-in-law was in a car accident this morning between Logan and Sanjon in New Mexico. Her car rolled four times and the door was torn off. She was taken to the hospital but is doing very well. However, her Golden is missing from the car. I called and spoke to the New Mexico State Police and the city of Logan police. Everyone there is being so helpful! The ambulance crew actually went back to the scene of the accident after dropping off the woman at the hospital to see whether they could locate Rascal. They could not. She has been spotted running down the highway but ran from the people trying to capture her. We'd like to get the word out about Rascal so that anyone in the area who spots her can let her owners know. They are just frantic about her. She's 18 months old, medium gold in color, and is wearing a red collar with her name and phone number on it. Her owner's name is Andrew Kauffman and his phone number is 505-784-9396 - home and his cell phone is 505-693-6201. If anyone from New Mexico happens to spot poor Rascal, please let him know. I'm sure his wife will recuperate much quicker knowing her dog is safe!

I'm looking for a golden pup. I know I should see clearances for hip, eye, and heart, but is there anything else I should make sure the breeder has done?

Hi there! Zeli is a spayed 7 year old female who seeems to have trouble rising up off hips... never has before.... I am giving her baby aspirin (2) per day before putting her through xrays etc..... Seems young for arthritis and also is it possible for hip displasia (shudder)? We see vet next month for routing check but I don't want her unnecessarily fooled with. I love her, she is the best darned dog on this earth. Yes,she can still hop up on our bed... no problem there. hmmmmm Irene

FIrst let me introduce myself. Hi my name is Kathy, I own 2 dogs one is A Golden Retriever/ Terrier mix. The oter is A Black Labrador mix. My question is about my golden. We had her spaded last tuesday. She now has a bump around her cut. Is this Normal. We are taking her to the vet tonight when my husband gets home. But I was woundering if anyone could give me some information that might ease my mind until I get to the vet tonight. Thank you for any help. KAthy

If you are buying a registered puppy,make sure the papers are with the puppy on the day of sale.Also you might check the AKC website for listings of breeders who have had thier privilges revoked.

Has anyone had pups with this disease? It is also known as Juvenile Cellulitis. I would be very interested in finding out, what exactly causes this disease, and also if its inher. My 8 week old golden retriever puppy had just been dias. with it. He is on prednisolone and cephalexin every 12 hours. He was also given a shot of Dexamethasone. He is improving and its now 4 days later. If anyone knows of any pups who had this , could you let me know? I want to find out if possible, just about how many golden retreiver pups have had it, and if they did, how are they doing now.

Our beloved Rocky has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma...we had his left front leg amputated day before yesterday to help ease his pain. Prognosis is not good..six months at the most. Has anyone experienced this illness before. What are some of the signs that his quality of life may be diminished? Are there any other complications that we should expect?

We just acquired a beautiful light golden on Fri July 5...she is 8 wks old. She is exhibiting a strange behavior. She puts her head all the way back...her muzzle practically is touching her back as she does this. She holds it there for about a minute and then sometimes goes back to the position briefly. The vet thought it might be a seizure of the petit mal type. She has done it at least 8 times since we got her 48 hrs ago. To imagine the scenario, imagine she is looking at you head-on...then she tilts her head all the way back and all you can see is her neck..her head is upside down..on top of her spine. Has anyone seen this position in a golden? Does it sound abnormal, as if it's a seizure? She does it as she is lying down, and then does sleep afterwards. Before it happens, she has been crying and barking and then just as she calms down, it happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks from Debbie in St Louis, MO
