| commented question | Why does my dog get ear infections? After baths and swimming, dry out your dogs ears with something soft. (If it is scratchy, it may cause your dog to get more ear infections.) Clean their ears regularly with a solution you can get from your vet. Pin up their ears now and then to air them out. Keep fur under ear flap short. |
| commented question | How should I calm my dog down? Your dog is watching you. They will often copy your temperament. If you get excited, they will get excited; if you calm down and relax, they will calm down. Sometimes dogs just have energy, take them for a walk or play fetch. Just something to get a little exercise. |
| commented question | Why does my dog smell like cat urine? It could be that they roled or stepped in urine and just need a bath. It may also be that they are wetting themselves. This could be caused by UTI or other health issues. Check their bed for wet spots. |
| commented question | How can I tell if my dog is in pain? Limping and whining are obviouse signs. They will often act nervous. Excessive tail wagging, licking and sometimes biting when you try to touch them can also indicate pain. |
