Question: Do dogs have 6th senses? Answer : yes dogs have sixth senses which gives them the ability to detect certain things before human can. This can be seen in the hearing, smelling and sight ability, we have even heard stories about dogs seeing/sensing ghosts presence but I don't know if those stories are far fetched but one thing that's true is that dogs have sixth senses and it enables them to notice a wide range of things. Note: Dogs are not the only animals that have a sixth sense. |

knyte:..on my side being able to have studied canines....its not a '6th sense' kind of thing....when it comes to the sense of smell,a dogs sense of smell is 9times higher n hyper sensitive than that of a man...so when u perceive just d general aroma of ur jellof rice,a dog perceives the tomatoes,onion,thyme,curry n so on....their sight is sharper than ours then coupled with good ears that could detect sound from far away...dats y they re said to have a 6th sense(its not like its there..they are just sharper)...they hear the foot steps of that stranger from far away coming to ur gate,perceive his cologne even his body odor n re on red alert b4 he knocks on ur gate n d barking begins .so that's just the magic...a super high hyper sensitivity..dats it 1 Like |

exclusive7:Nice, I agree that they have heightened sensitivity. Do you believe the myth about them being able to sense ghosts? |

Question: What is the best way to handle/prevent tick infestation? Answer: Almost every dog owner battles with this at some point, TICKS. This has killed and ruined many kennels even when they seek appropriate help. Everyone has their own ways of handling tick problems and I also know a few stuffs that I believe would be helpful. No 1: Am not really a fan of powder applied tick preventive methods cos every dog has their own response to these things and sometimes makers of these product don't emphasize how deadly ingesting this powder by the dog can be. So I'll rather stay off the powder. No 2: I came across a spray called Bio-Finl of Fio- Finl(they serve d same purpose) then and I wanted to know how effective this spray was. Method of application is to smoother the dog's body with water and spray on areas like d neck, in BTW d toes, back and chest where ticks are more congested. IN minutes the result was amazing, it has a nice fragrance and it can be used on nursing mothers to prevent transmission of ticks from mother to pups as it has no effect. No 3: For those that don't know about chemical bathe it should only be handled by careful hands. I personally use amirax 20 and it's superb but need to be handled with care so u don't kill your dog unintentionally. Method of application is mixing bout 2ml of the chemical into a big bucket of water. Make sure it's not too concentrated. Wet d dog the water at first, rinse off, apply d dog's shampoo, wash the dog thoroughly and then again rinse the shampoo with the water. This can also b used to clean their cages and surrounding but make sure that in this process the dog wears a mouth guard to prevent it from licking it's body and afterwards for bout 3days u give the dog palm oil and milk to counter any effect of the chemical. No 4: I only use this for cleaning of their ears. Methylated spirit. I use this cos it's safe, rather that spraying inside of d the ear with chemicals. In a matter of minutes the ticks come out themselves dead and u can clean d laid eggs with cotton wool. Sorry for the long post , other methods that work well for you are encouraged. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Pls my pup has this lump on her skin that's causing her to scratch excessively, its kinda strong and bringing out a lil watery puss. I suspect is a bot fly larva cause my trainer took her to an open field, how do I remove it? |
Re: Questions And Answers( All Pets, No Exceptions) by knyte(m): 8:02pm On Jun 25, 2015 |
Funmiladey: Answer : You may not notice any signs during the first 2wks as its still early to determine if she's pregnant or not but subsequently you may notice increased or decreased appetite, behavioural changes, change in nipple colour, change in size of d dam, amongst others. 1 Like |
Re: Questions And Answers( All Pets, No Exceptions) by knyte(m): 8:17pm On Jun 25, 2015 |
Namdeenero:Answer: When you press it, a maggot like nonsense wld come out, trust me it's disgusting. Afterwards clean d affected area with spirit preferably. it's caused when the dog's fur is wet causing flies to perch and lay eggs on it. If it's bot fly u need nt worry much bout it. |

Re: Questions And Answers( All Pets, No Exceptions) by knyte(m): 8:41pm On Jun 25, 2015 |
Namdeenero:Would you say it looks like something like this without it been pressed?

Re: Questions And Answers( All Pets, No Exceptions) by Namdeenero(m): 8:53pm On Jun 25, 2015 |
knyte:Mehn that's so disgusting but yea, there's a small hole where the lil puss is coming out from |
Re: Questions And Answers( All Pets, No Exceptions) by knyte(m): 9:30pm On Jun 25, 2015 |

exclusive7: Lol...you did little or no research. 1. Dogs have a keen sense of hearing. 2. Dogs hear untrasonic sounds, something the human ear can't pick. 3. Ghosts makes sounds said to be ultrasonic waves. 3. Ghost hunters have wave scanners that pick untrasonic sounds, reported to be emitted byghosts So yes, we can say dogs can hear ghosts. |

knyte: Nice thread knyte In response to your question I'd refer you to the dogs genealogy (unfortunately in nigeria I have only heard of one breeder a rtd general in kaduna that maintenance his dogs genealogy) ok but to answer you dogs that become senile in old age tend to start to show aggressive behavior before finally getting to the all out point pls this may vary from breed to breed but since gsd are typical I'll use them as a typical example They start to show signs of disregard for training They become withdrawn and growl at nothing (it's believed they hallucinate). They start to attack strangers At this point they are almost gone. Solution - If it's an all dog you have to put them down sadly. For younger dogs see a vet to confirm its not a missed vaccination manifesting in hyper aggressive behavior. Prevention - breeding should be highly regulated and only mentally stable dogs with traceable pedigree should be bred. 1 Like 1 Share |
