    Lame Paw

    Well the positive news is he has shown some decent improvement overnight, he has been walking on it again, still a limp, but yesterday he wouldn't even touch it to the ground. I had to carry him out for bathroom breaks. Still warrants a trip to the vet, unless when i get home he is by some...

    Lame Paw

    It feels warm if I touch the top side of the paw. It is odd that it seems to have come up sort of slowly... I just am terrified if something is torn. he does t want me to touch the area between the fingers and the wrist so upsetting

    Lame Paw

    Also to add when u had him out for a pee when he came in I was able to ask for a shake a paw and he is able to lift the leg. He can bend the 'wrist' on his own.

    Lame Paw

    I know it will be tough to answer.. but while I wait.. My boy has came up with a lame front paw. It was gradual a very minor limp one day went to a little limp and today he is reluctant to touch it to the ground. I dont see any wounds. There is a small abrasion around his nail but he gets that...

    Doberman Biting his skin

    It seems slow but with the change of diet and added some fish oil, he seems to be less irritated. Winter time is always dry skin time. It looks to not be as raw now and hair is coming back. Will keep updated. Thanks again all

    Is GDV or Bloat hereditary

    Just a quick one. I recently found out one of my boys siblings, same parents but different litter. Has passed due to GDV / Bloat. He was younger than my guy. Does this run in bloodlines? Should I be worried?

    Doberman with (human)Baby

    Well Im expecting my first Human baby in a few short weeks. ANy tips? My dog is fine around children, loves the sitting there and getting pet by children infact. He is gentle with my cats.

    Rex Specs

    Honestly not too bad. Just let him sniff them then slowly worked up to wearing them while eating and then on leash walks. I still only leave them on while he is on long line or leash. But by the summer time I think he will be comfortable

    Neuter or Not

    Oh i stop it immediately, no doubt there. Super embarrassed. He was doing so well earning my trust in the park recently I thought 2 years old all my hard work training is laying off. Then we let each other down. Me by not spotting the other dog and being prepared and him for ignoring me

    Neuter or Not

    Hello, I have a 2 year old Male. I am wondering if I should now get him neutered. When out he always sniffs stuff and then gets really stuck on spots to the point he gets all.drooling and his mouth starts to chatter. We don't interact with a lot of other dogs, but tonight while.i was playing...
