Some of these may cause sickness:

A. Salmonella bacteria

B. If there in insects in their food such as those carrying bacteria, germs, and insecticides.

will dogs get sick on a 14 hour long ride?

my family and i r taking our dogs on a 14 hour drive for vacation. will they get sick? what r some ways to keep them comfortable in the car?

Dogs can have a lot of fun traveling in the car as long as they are properly taken care of during the drive. A rule of thumb is to stop every 2-3 hours and let the dogs take a potty break and a few minutes to walk around on a leash for exercise. Additionally, they should be offered small quantities of water during the drive. Before you take the long trip, try driving your dogs around for about 30 minutes to an hour and see how they react. You may decide to crate them if they get too nervous. (Crating a nervous dog in the car can help soothe them). Or, you may find that your dogs naturally take to the driving and you won’t have to do anything special for them.

I would also recommend taking a test drive with your dogs before the major trip to see if they will be car sick. If they are, you may want to call a vet and see if you can get a pet sedative. The day of the trip, take your dogs for a long walk to wear them out, and feed them small, frequent meals instead of one or two large meals.. (This can help prevent stomach upset during travel.)

Don’t be surprised, though, if your dogs get an upset stomach. This is pretty common for travel. You may want to get an anti-diahrrea medication from your vet to take with you on your trip as a precaution.

Can dogs get sick from being in the cold for too long?

February 28, 2010 - 6:25 pm 8 Comments

Now that its winter, i obviously can’t have her outside for her potty breaks for too long, huh? But anyway can dogs get sick like us from being in the cold?

Well,not sick,but they can get hypothermia and frostbite if they are not used to the cold or have a thin hair coat. And toy breeds like Chihuahuas and Min Pins can’t last long in the cold at all.The same is true for very yong puppies and elderly dogs. But just a potty break isn’t going to do anything,and the dog wil let you know when it wants to go in ( it will shiver,lift it’s feet,etc.)

Can dogs get sick from humans?

I just sick, and i was wondering can dogs get sick from humans? If so what should i do so my dog wouldn’t get sick?

Yes, we sure can ‘catch’ things from dogs. It is called Zoonotic when illnesses can be passed from dog to human. Humans can get Rabies from infected dogs, certain parasites (roundworm, whipworm, hookworm, giardia…), bacterial infections (ringworm, Sarcoptic mange…), etc.

Owners of Sick Dogs: How do you remind yourself to give your dog medication?

February 24, 2010 - 5:19 pm 7 Comments

Our dog needs to take medication 3 times a week, but because it’s not everyday we often forget, and then give him his medicine too late or not at all. Putting it on the calendar has not worked, since we don’t look at the calendar everyday. We do look at the computer everyday. We put it in microsoft outlook, but the program has to be running for thier little alarm systems to work.

Is there away to set up email, to email ourselfs 3 times a week to give out dog his medicine?

Is there any other way to do this? Those of you in similar situations, how do you remeber?

It depends on what kind of an email system you have, but mine has a calender on it, I think that outlook does too, I would set an "appointment" for the days that you need to give your dog the medicine, then the alarm will go off. Many cell phones have this feature also. Just go to the calender on your phone and select the days and post an appointment with an alarm that will sound.

Hope I helped!

sick dog; how or what can i use to treat the yard from spreading germs to my other dogs?

February 20, 2010 - 6:26 pm 8 Comments

My dog is really sick throwing up alot and vomiting (took her to the vet this morning in hopes that she’ll be fine). Any ideas on how i can treat the yard and all to keep from spreading the germs to my other dogs?
Not sure what’s wrong quite yet. Just wanna be safe and try and take care of the germs if any to make sure the other dogs are okay.

Use a poop scooper to clean up her stool and vomit. Spray the areas with Lysol disinfectant. don’t let them eat together or drink water out of the same dish. If you get it up it’s not likely they’ll catchany germs due to their lifespoan outside the body. However, Parvo is different. Parvo can hang around for up to a year.
