You did not take good care of your dog, so why request for another? ....Seeing the picture above, the dog had serious worm infestations and qas probably left untreated.

How to knw when ur dog is in pain.

Sometimes our dogs can be in pain but they cant express it to us and am sure none of us can stand to see our beloved pets in pains. Even when our dogs aren't eaten it affects us emotionally.

Sometimes it can be very difficult to knw whether or not ur dog is in pain. But other times its obvious.

There are signs u can look for that might indicate ur dog is experiencing pain.

Dogs in pain are more likely to bite so be careful. They could loss appetite as well. Breathing heavy, heart rate, and even appearance can all change when ur dog is experiencing pain.

If u have a good idea of ur dog’s “normal" which includes his normal attitude, energy level, gait, appetite, thirst, sleep patterns, and other physical and behavioral patterns then it would help u knw when his probably in pains or sick.

When evaluating ur dog for potential pain, please take great care to not get urself (or anyone helping u) bitten. Dont allow family members and friends go close to him during such times. Even if ur dog would never normally bite anyone, the mere fact that ur evaluating ur dog for pain indicates that this may not be a normal time.

Dogs in pain are more likely to bite. This is true even with their owners and other people they knw. And it happens more when a person touches or moves the painful area. So once u observe the area of pains avoid touching such spots.

Breathing Changes:
Dogs experiencing pain may have a faster and more shallow breathing pattern than normal. They may also pant.

Heart and Pulse Changes:
Dogs in pain will often have an increased heart/pulse rate. The rate often noticeably speeds up when the painful area is touched or moved.
U can learn how to measure ur dogs hearth rate at home. Contact a technician to teach u.

Posture Changes:
Dogs who are in pain may assume a very rigid stance, while others may assume the “prayer position” with their front legs on the ground, their butt up in the air, and a stretch throughout their abdomen. Some dogs in pain will lie around more, while others may experience difficulty laying down.

It all depends on the type, location, and severity of the pain.

Eye Changes:
The eyes can be great indicators of pain in dogs. They change both for eye pain itself and for pain elsewhere in the body. Often pain elsewhere in the body will result in larger (dilated) pupils, while pain in the eye(s) can result in either larger or smaller (constricted) pupils.

If their eyes are in pain, the affected eye(s) may also appear bloodshot.

Food and Water Changes:
Dogs in pain often eat and drink less than normal. When they do eat and drink, if the cause of their pain is their teeth or some other part of the mouth, they may drop food and/or water from their mouth.

Energy Level Changes:
Most dogs in pain will have a general decrease in their activity level. This often shows as a dog who sleeps more. It may also manifest as a dog who simply runs and/or jumps less than normal.

Mobility Changes:
Dogs in pain often move around less. However, depending on what hurts, they may still move around the same amount, but do so differently (i.e. with a limp, or more slowly when going up or down the stairs, etc.)

Pooing Changes:
Dogs who have back pain, for any reason, may have difficulty with the posture needed to defecate. So they may struggle to do that.

Body Contour Changes:
If u observe swellings, be they on ur dog’s legs, body, or face, could be an indication of a painful condition, such as infection, inflammation or others.

It’s important to speak with or see ur vet any time ur dog is in pain, or if u think they may be.

For dogs suffering from arthritis fish oil which has anti inflammatory properties can help.

Overweight and obesity in dogs.
Canine Education health articles.

As a responsible dog owner u should get a weighing scale at home and make sure to check the weight of ur dog regularly. U should endeavour to knw the standard weight of the breed u have so u can tell when its overweight and obese

Owners often incorrectly believe their overweight dogs are at a healthy weight.

The formula for reducing weight in dogs is is to decrease in the calories consumed and an increase in activity.

Obesity is wen dogs who are at least 30% heavier than what their normal weight should be,

Excess weight on dogs worsen their arthritis and slow them down. Have u seen a baby outrun a full grown dog? �. It an have significant financial and medical implications in the event of an emergency or illness as well.

These are some of the health issues that overweight could cause in dogs.

Pancreatitis: Meaning inflammation of the pancreas. this disease often results in decreased energy and appetite, with concurrent vomiting and diarrhea. While pancreatitis can be fairly mild, it can also be much more severe and can be fatal (due to the triggering of a body-wide inflammatory cascade set off by the pancreatic inflammation). We av talked abt this in previous articles. Giving ur dogs too much fat can also cause pancreatitis.

Heat Stroke: because of both the insulating properties of their excess fat and the additional strain such excess weight puts on their joints, overweight and obese dogs are at increased risk of developing this debilitating, expensive, and (often) fatal emergency condition.

Diabetes: This condition typically require life-long management and frequent monitoring at ur vet, but it also carries with it the additional risks of a severe metabolic emergency condition called diabetic ketoacidosis, recurrent urinary tract infections etc

Others: Excessive weight and obesity also predisposes a dog to recurrent skin and urinary tract infections, worsens the pain associated with arthritis and other orthopedic conditions, and increases the likelihood that a dog with a pre-existing respiratory or heart condition will suffer an emergency related to their condition.

How can u tell if ur dog is at his ideal body weight?

U can use a combination of ur dogs weight and individual body condition score (BCS) to determine if ur dog is overweight, underweight, or right. U should look primarily at the waist, ribs, and any fat deposits on the back or near the base of the tail.

Wen u view ur dogs waist from the back his abdomen should tuck up as it approaches the back legs. When viewed from above, there should be a clear delineation between the back half and the front. The waist and the abdomen should not be on same level.

U should be able to feel the ribs easily, without having to press through too thick a layer of fat. If there is excessive fat cover over the ribs, ur dog is overweight.

Ur dogs back should not be perfectly flat, and there shouldn't be a large fat pad along their sides or near the base of their tail.

Weight loss in dogs is typically far easier than losing weight ourselves. This is because we control what they eat. I would give u some tips to help u achieve weight loss in ur dogs.

U av to reduce ur dogs calorie intake and increase his activity level (and his caloric burn).

Treats are typically the single biggest source of excess calories that most overweight dogs consume on a daily basis. U should reduce it and probably reduce the number of times u feed.

Don't feed your pet table scraps

Decrease the quantity of food you are feeding ur dog or, if necessary, change the type of food u are feeding them if they contain too much calories. Feeding a higher protein and lower carbohydrate diet can help with achieving weight loss.

Increase the number of calories ur dog burns each day
Increase ur dogs level of daily exercise - start slow and gradually increase.

u can take them for longer or more frequent walks, or u can throw a ball for them more frequently for them to chase. Just be careful not to do these exercises during the heat of the day on particularly warm or hot days, a such days dogs are at higher risk of developing Heat Stroke. We told u this in previous articles.

U can also take them for swimming which is a great exercise for many dogs, and one that is lower impact on their joints. There are some dogs that do not like water, dont force them.

Today I went out put molly in her cage only for me to find her lying lifeless on the ground. Not like she was sick before or something. Molly has been my best friend for the last five years now. She a mix of rott and gsd, very active and strong. Got her when she was few months old can't remember.

I was wanting to put her in the ground when our ibo neighbor came acting like he cared about my loss only for him to ask for the dead dog so he could devour. Just so annoying but I had to give molly to him.....

Guys, today is my birthday � and I would love if I can get to adopt any dog (local, mixed or foreign)... Please if you can't continue to take care of your dog.... Please I'm begging allow me to help you.... Thanks

The last picture was when I came back from school I met it with most of her hair fallen out..... I don't have a recent pics you all will be amazed to see how big she was.

awwww sorry about your loss i still remember when Kelvin30286063 's samoyed died from parvo, i cried with him for weeks.




However i would advice you either get a local dog or examine yourself thoroughly to know what killed molly so it doesn't kill the next dog you get.
Sorry about your loss it's always sad when dogs die

Spaying and Neutering Your Puppy or Adult Dog: Questions and

What is the difference between spay and neuter and y do people do it?

Spaying. spaying or ovariohysterectomy, is a vet surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia by removing the ovaries and uterus of a female dog

While Neutering or castration, is the surgical removal of a male dog’s testes. Also performed under general anesthesia. A Neutered dog can still av an erection while a spayed female wont come on heat again.

Why do people do it?
Some people find it irritating seen blood discharge from their dogs. Some dont have the time to take care of pregnant dogs and their puppies. Some do not have the technical ability or finance. And some do it as a result of complications or health issues with the female dog.

If u dont live in a fensed compound and ur female is not spayed in some cases it can bring unwanted males around when shes on heat and they she produce unwanted babies. This is another reason y some spay they females.

Having a litter is expensive and involves a lot of time and energy on your part. The bitch will require veterinary care during pregnancy. Delivery can sometimes be difficult and involve costly surgery or result in the loss of the bitch or puppies. The litter will also require veterinary care and shots after birth. On top of that, finding good homes for puppies can be very difficult. Spaying and neutering is a responsible way to prevent accidental breeding resulting in unwanted puppies. Breeding should be left to breeders who have an organized plan and knowledge about canine genetics, and who are concerned with preserving a breed’s best qualities for future generations.
Reduction of certain health risks. Spaying or neutering can lead to a reduction in certain health risks for both female and male dogs. Unspayed females can develop a painful and life-threatening infection of the uterus called pyometra. Unspayed females are also at a higher risk of mammary tumors than females that have been spayed. Neutering a male dog prevents testicular cancer and reduces the risk of other problems, such as prostate disease. A neutered male dog might also have less desire to roam.
May help with certain behavior issues. In addition to reducing roaming in male dogs, neutering can often, though not always, help reduce or eliminate undesirable behaviors, such as leg-lifting and mounting. Neutering may also decrease aggressive behavior in some dogs. Spayed females are also less likely to roam.
It’s important to note that recent data suggests neutering before puberty may instill a tendency toward shyness and insecure behavior.
