Is it discrimination to make jewelry for cats, but not for dogs ?

Question:

Is it discrimination to make jewelry for cats, but not for dogs ?

Answer/s:

  • I make jewellry for cats AND dogs

  • Discrimination is moot point,making jewelry for pets,but don’t help first for humans in life danger and basic needs and no means to save themselves. Know the priorities in trying to avoid PC BS,and having genuine humane instincts.

  • Dogs are more intolerant of certain things, and you have to be careful with the jingly things because dogs have very acute hearing, and it could be bothersome for them!

  • No animals should suffer the degradation and humiliation of being forced to wear jewelery. Any owners who impose this on their pets should firstly get themselves a life and secondly book themselves a very urgent appointment with a shrink!!

  • My dear ones dog would just eat the jewelry! He eats everything else including his owners computer cord!

  • Yes. And the Doginisim supporters and Dog rights activists will have something to say about this injustice.

  • No, because dogs are inferior to cats. Ask any cat if you doubt me.

  • You bet it is! My dog needs a tiara something fierce.

  • Well what if you dont have a dog? Just 50 cats?

    • Can dogs drink chocolate milk?

    Posted on by

    Question:

    They can’t eat chocolate because it doesn’t digest well in their systems (I suppose this is more deadly on small dogs, then), so what if it’s in liquid form? It’s not like it would solidify or anything.

    Answer/s:

  • Human can barely eat chocolate because its bad for us lol What makes you think dogs can? NO NO NO NO NO I don’t care what form it is in Chocolate is chocolate and you are going to have to learn that or you are going to have a dead dog not being mean or cruel just stating the facts. Have a wonderful day.

  • I am not going to be rude on purpose,but think about it, 1.any milk is not good for a dog,hard to digest,unless you give goats milk 2.chocolate in any form is toxic,why would you think liquid would be safe 3.think about kids with nut alergies,just cause they a mushed up lets say like peanut butter,whould it still not be considered dangerous and since you didn’t know about liquid chocolate,here’s a few others to stay awy grape/grape juice,raisen do a search on google or yahoo and find out what food are dangerous to your dog…

  • Why would you want to give a dog chocolate milk and risk upsetting their stomachs or worse? If you want to give your dog something special, go to a pet store and pick out something proper that they can actually eat.

  • They cant have chocolate because there is a chemical in it that makes their heart race. They cant have milk because they are lactose intolerant (like cats). So chocolate milk probably isnt a good idea.

  • No. Chocolate is toxic, and milk is undigestable. Neither regular milk or chocolate milk should be given to a dog.

  • That is a double whammy! A dog cannot handle chocolate, but they also cannot handle lactose which is in milk. So the answer is, NO.

  • no milk no chocolate http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?…

  • No, do not ever feed any dog something with sugar, in it even bread. If you feed them something with sugar after a few days or weeks your dog will go blind, so be careful….

  • No it’s still chocolate. no matter what form it’s in. Why would you want to give your dog chocolate milk anyway? What’s the matter with water?

  • You shouldn’t feed any form of chocolate to a dog.It is so toxic that it can KILL dogs. Stick to dog food and water from now on.

    • Has anyone tried “Pet Pain Spray” for your dogs?

    Posted on by

    Question:

    I have a 13 year old pug with really bad hips and back. He’s on Meticam, Tramadol, and glucosamine. I’ve seen the stuff on tv called “Pet Pain Spray”. They also have it for humans called “No Pain Spray”. You squirt it in your pet’s drinking water and it’s supposed to really help. Is anyone familiar with this? Of course I plan to ask my vet before ordering it, but I’m curious whether it really works or not. Thanks!

    Answer/s:

  • You mean that herbal spray they have on TV. No and I dont recomend you do either! It is just crap! To put it bluntly!

  • I really don’t think that a spray sold on a television commercial is going to even come close to the pain relief you would be getting with the medications that you are currently giving your dog.

  • I’d never trust anything sold “as seen on TV” and I’m not aware of this product. All I know that this works really well for dogs with such problems.http://www.doggonepain.com/

    • Do They Make ritalin for dogs ??

    Posted on by

    Question:

    I Have A Jack-Russel That Just Goes Crazy @ Times. She Runs Into The Cabinets etc.

    Answer/s:

  • They do have medications that could be given to dogs with severe problems. However, you would like to avoid it if possible. Jack Russels are known for there high energy ways. I would suggest taking her for a couple of LONG walks everyday. This will help relieve all that built up energy that makes her go crazy. At last resource, consult your vet about which medication would be best for your situation. I wish you the best of luck!

  • That is the norm for that breed. don’t drug it, just love it

  • No– and they’re finding it’s wrong to use for kids, too. If you have a dog you can’t handle and would rather drug than take care of– give it to someone that does care about her. “Early use of Ritalin and other stimulant drugs seems to permanently alter animals’ brains. That raises concerns that the same thing might be happening in children who take these drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.” Also, it’s been found to stunt growth and alter physical aspects of the body.

  • yup, they sure do. but i don’t think it’s called “ritalin”. there are doggie sedation pills you can get at low levels or high levels for travel purposes. go find out from your local vet. actually, call around and get different suggestions from different vets.

  • They do make puppy tranks…but your better off just exercising the dog. High energy dogs like jack’s need a “job”. They need regular and consistent exercise. Work with your dog more and you’ll see results.

  • You need to attend obedience classes with your dog. I’d also recommend going to your vet to discuss this with the vet. This forum is not the place for your questions.

    • Is it normal for dogs to get upset stomach from Tramadol?

    Posted on by

    Question:

    My 11 year old Rottweiler, Belle, is on Tramadol for her arthritis. She’s been on it for about 4-5 months, and is now taking nearly 9 pills a day. Recently she has started having an upset stomach, and vomits. Is this a normal reaction after being on this medicine for this long? Should I contact my vet?

    Answer/s:

  • Vomiting and gastrointestinal upset has been described with this medication, but it is more common to see sleepiness and dizziness. It is possible, if she is dizzy, that it could interfere with her equilibrium which could make her nauseous. I would definitely contact your vet who will likely do some bloodwork to make sure her liver or kidneys are not affected. An additional therapy that may be very successful with arthritic dogs is Adequan injections. Adequan is a substance that is naturally found in joint tissue and when it is given by injection, it goes into a joint and thickens the fluid so the bone is not scraping on bone as much (osteoarthritis). The injections are expensive but can be life-changing. I have seen tremendous success with multiple dogs. If you have financial difficulties, your vet may be willing to give you a discounted rate if you buy your own bottle from them and just come in for the injection. The best way to administer it is twice weekly for up to 8 injections then as needed to maintain comfort. Good luck to you – hope she feels much better!

  • You should contact the vet. Some meds can wear the lining of the stomach.

  • Yes, contact your vet ASAP! Your dog is taking a high dose of the med and it may just need to be adjusted.

    • All my dogs itch and have hair loss and now we me and my son have red bumps on us what is this?

    Posted on by

    Question:

    All my dogs itch and have hair loss and now we me and my son have red bumps on us what is this?

    Answer/s:

  • sounds like mange. they’re little bugs that burrow under the dogs skin and eat the hair follicles. the symptoms are severe itching and hair loss. people can catch it if their pets have it. the only way to treat it is medicated shampoo that you get from a vet. you should get them treated now because the longer you wait, the harder and more expensive it is to treat. mange can get really, really bad if left untreated. i’m sure a doctor could help with your son’s problem also. but treat the pets first as they’re the ones spreading it to eachother.

  • Since your dogs are losing hair, I am inclined to agree with the mange, rather than the fleas. My mother had a dog with sarcoptic mange, and she was badly bitten, (although the mites cannot live on people, just bite them). Please take your dogs to the vet, so he can tell you for sure what is wrong, and prescribe a treatment.

  • Fleas. Need to get your house treated and treatment for the dogs. Then get on a schedule of monthly treatment so you do not have this problem again. By the way, dogs who are loosing hair due to fleas are probably anemic also. A vet trip is in order.

  • They’re probably fleas. Dogs have a stage in which they shed they’re hair. But if your dog has been losing its hair since May then your dog has a problem

  • Your dog is shedding.. And it seems like you and your son are allergic to their dandruff.. You should not own a dog when you dont even know what shedding is

  • Fleas??? and they could be biting you too.

  • Fleas.

    • Types of duiretics for dogs?

    Posted on by

    Question:

    Is there any other diuretic tablet that can be prescribed for dogs apart from lasix.they dont seem to be working for my little dog,im taking him back to the vet tommorow but i am living in hope that something else might be given that will works better for him.

    Answer/s:

  • I treat both of my dogs (rare ailments) with homoeopathic or herbal medicines. You could try Dandelion leaf capsules, (Dandelion being a natural diuretic) you can get them at Holland & Barrett or some such similar outlet. They will certainly do no harm to the dog and may prove useful. Just remember that like all herbal medicines, there is rarely any immediate effect or relief and the herb must often be used for an extended period.

  • In what way ‘not working’? Frusemide is not a cure-all, it will simply draw excess fluid from your dog. By the time a dog is in need of a diuretic he’s usually pretty ill, so there could be any number of issues going on here. I haven’t heard of another diuretic, other than frusemide (generic name of Lasix). Either way, we can’t prescribe it! Chalice

    • Can I use floxin antibiotic for dogs eye infection?

    Posted on by

    Question:

    My dog has an eye infection. I do not want to have to pay the $70.00 to visit the doctor so he can tell me my dog has an eye infection. When my son recently had an eye infection we used floxin. I was wondering if this antibiotic would be safe to use on my golden retriver?

    Answer/s:

  • Before you consider usage of this particular antibiotic you should note a few things. This is not a licensed animal drug, nor is the active antibiotic ingredient licensed in any animal drugs (in the UK at least). Consequently there has been no studies performed to assess toxicity levels and possible reactions in veterinary patients. Some antibiotics can be potentially damaging to mammalian cells and as such it would be more advisable to use a veterinary product. You also could be legally liable if you use this product outside of its license and there is any problems. The vet may seem expensive but it is usually money well spent!

  • can”t hurt

    • Is claritin safe for dogs?

    Posted on by

    Question:

    Is claritin safe for dogs?

    Answer/s:

  • Does it say it is on the package?

  • claritin is safe with the proper dosage given to you by your dog’s dermatologist. my dog has been on allergy shots for a year and this coupled with her proper dose of claritin has kept her allergies at bay this summer. if your dog is itchy, go to the vet immediately. they can refer you to a dermatologist. dog allergies are not fun. you will probably have to do skin testing, a food trial, and a lot of steroids, but once you find the right mix, your dog will feel a lot better.

  • Only if your veterinarian prescribed it.

  • No! But some human medicines CAN be used on dogs, dramamine, do not know if I spelled that right, but it calms down people, and dogs, for long car rides, my dog used to get sick and throw up, but we giver her that, and she lays down, and relaxes. Ask your vet before you give your dog any medication of any kind though, just to b e on the safe side, some different types of dogs can not take the same type of medicine.

  • no no no no no no no no! any human medicine should not be given to any animal, it will do damage.

  • No, No, No CLARITIN= HUMAN VET=DOG

  • Nope…

  • I have heard of that and/or similar allergy meds being used under a vets care. Talk to your vet about the proper solution and dosage for your dogs allergies.

  • NO! are you trying to kill your dog! go to the vet if he is ill.

  • no that is humane stuff that wil killl your dog go to a vet if he has allergies
