    What is happening with Link's ears?!

    Well, rare or not, it is a feature that is rather unexpected in a dachshund. I'm hoping that this ear thing will resolve itself when his teeth are all in. But I think it's rather strange that I can't find much info on this condition on the Internet. I feel the cartilages in the ears near his...

    What is happening with Link's ears?!

    I tried to massaging his ears but it does not make much of a difference. As soon as I take my hands off, the ears pop back into its goofy look. The perhaps I should let nature run its course. My other than option would be super glue his ears in place?

    What is happening with Link's ears?!

    This started happening about 3 weeks ago and the vet assured us that the ears were not damaged and that it should go away in a matter of weeks. Before it was only one ear but now it's both! I my puppy is about 16 weeks old. The ears just folded backwards one day and now I'm worried it will...

    gah! ticks!

    i am reluctant to switch to k9 advantix because of reports and videos of dogs sick after application. as for the ticks, with frontline, apparently, they can die and stay attached for a couple days before they fall off. so i guess i will just have to deal with it.

    does anyone portion out frontline?

    i'm considering purchasing a 1 ml syringe and 5ml vials and just buying the frontline for large dogs and splitting a pipette into 8 dosages. since a 6 month supply for large and small dogs at costco is 75$. the concentration of the medication is the same, it's just given in larger amounts for...

    Aloha!

    Tried the ignoring strategy, but Link seems to just nip at my toes until he gets distracted and moves on to it's tail or starts to chew the underside of the sofa. At that point, I no longer can ignore him. I relented to restraining him, but he'll just mellow out and get up and return to...

    Best place for dog meds?

    Right now, I'd like to get my Doxie pup on heart worm preventative meds and flea/tick drops or collar? I live in an apt so my wife said that a collar might be good enough since the dog will have limited exposure to outside parasites. Not to mention it is a heck of a lot cheaper. Thoughts on...
