  1. Okay, I thought that I saw something crawling on Stealth- so I started checking him- I found a freaking flea on him. It is only one from what I can tell but now I am needing to know what to do for him right now for the fleas? and if they are in my house what do I do- There was a issue on Thursday night (see VENTING!!!!!!!) for the update! Is there any home remedys that I can do for him right now until PetSmart opens in the am? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks
  2. DivineOblivion19- how will I know if Stealth is straining? Also, say he does have to have a surgery to remove something- do you know how much we are talking about there? I know it will differ from vet to vet- just trying to get an idea. Thanks for your info DO because I fee a little better right now- One last question really quick- After he eats how long does it take for him to take a poo? Esp if he has not eaten since about 6pm the night before and finally ate tonight about 5:30pm Jessie
  3. see I am scared of having to do something to him- the vet did say that it would be a quick procedure and that I needed to watch for him not pooing good and throwing up- He tried to poo today and only had a few dribbles come out- I don't know - he had not eaten today until about 5pm because he was at the vet- so I am keeping my fingers crossed. However, I don't think that he will need surgery because she said it will be quick and he will be fine for the vacation- so this weekend I am now doggie proofing my home- sigh! Any suggestions on trying to help him in any way?
  4. [quote name='BuddysMom'] Sorry .. more questions, a human thermometer?! How long do you leave it in? Wouldn't it have to be a special dog thermometer in case it broke? Sorry about all the questions ... I hope she is OK and most of all doesn't interrupt your work too much tonight ...[/quote] Well, I just use a digital one and wait until it beeps. Kinda like what you do a baby- I would not use a glass one!
  5. Thank you all for your thinking of us! Stealth went to the vet today- He was there from 10AM until 4PM- They thought that he was chewing his tail- He does not do that at all- but they did say that dogs that whip their tails really hard (IE: LABS) tend to have these problems from time to time. They gave me a spray to spray on his tail 3 times a day and there an antibiotic to take- Also, one thing that really concern me is that they said that his anal sacs were really full and they expressed his anal glands (What is this?) They found pieces of my red flip flop with in his poo and said that between now and Tuesday that if he does not poo with ease that he will have to do another procedure- does anyone know what they are talking about? Thanks, Jessie
  6. He is constantly barking right now and I am ignoring him but right now how I feel I have to give in to him. I feel really bad that is my baby but he is not allowing me to work!
  7. Well, as far as taking his temp- i have a thermometer and i get his to lay and give him a treat and put it up his rear end. He lays there for me and when I take it out I tell him "OK, We are done!" and give him another treat! He has always been really good on that. I know that a year ago his temp keep on ranging in the 100s to 102s and they said that it could just be his temp- but he has had lower temps lately- But, I am just scared that something is wrong and I am just PISSED! I will let you all know! Thanks, Jessie
  8. Oh yeah! My mother in law told me that when we are done with the bill to take to the owner and tell her because of their irresponsibility that I want a refund of the vet bill! He goes to 2 different daycares because of the interaction with all of the dogs at both places and we are starting a third one in Sept ([url]www.pupniron.com[/url]) which has a whole welness thing! I am really excited about that one. But, I am really worried about the bleeding thing- I know what to do about the fever but what scares me is that his whole body is HOT! I did cut the tip of his hair on his tail shorter to see where it was bleeding. I am just LIVID :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  9. yeah i am making sure that he gets plenty of water right now. I am just really upset and his vet opens at 9 am tomorrow so he is going there first thing.
  10. Okay, on Friday's I got in to work at 1PM and work until 10PM. I take Stealth with me and he goes to daycare for 1/2 a day and I go to pick him up on my lunch/dinner break. Well, today when I went to pick Stealth up we got in the car and I noticed that there were little streaks of blood on my pants. So, I got Stealth to stand up in the back and I went to check him all over- I noticed that at the very tip of his tail there was a redish tint to it. I looked his tail over and sure enough on the tip of his tail was nothing but blood. The very tip looked like a double dip ice cream cone because it was swollen, and there was a whole on it and blood was oozing out. I took him back in STEAMING :evil: :evil: because he was there since 11:30 today because i had to take care of things and no one noticed it and no one saw anything happen which on the inside of me PISSES me of to the ultimate! I just left and said I will take him to the vet tomorrow! So, then we are in the car and he is panting more than he usually does. I felt his nose ears and belly- THEY WERE BURNING HOT :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: !!!!!!!! and he was really thirsty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I got him to work and I always have a bag for him with me. I checked his temp and it was 102.0 oh by this time I am ready to strangle someone because he is my BABY!!!! I called my husband crying and freaking out! I don't think that he had the amount of water that he needed while running around and playing for over 5 hours! So, tomorrow he is going to the vet and on Monday I am callin the owner and letting her have it! I am pissed and I am done with this company. But I am scared about Stealth esp. since we go on vacation with him next Friday- SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. Same with Stealth- the vet said that we need to loose about 10 to 15lbs- right now he is about 90lbs and he is very active.........
  12. Okay, so most of you know that I have Stealth and he is 16 months old and is a Black Lab. He knows how to sit, lay, stay, and jump for a treat- We are wanting to teach him new tricks. We are working on shake however it is not really working. Does anyone have any ideas? I want to get the whole shake thing down, but I would like for him to roll over and all and all the other cool tricks- suggestions will be great! For those who suggested NILIF- THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are doing much better- there are days where we have better ones but THANK YOU! A way to get rid of hubby and Stealth while I clean!

  13. I know that everyone needs just a few minutes or something to just sit back and either sigh or think........so, for all of you and those that just need something that looks AWESOME here it is for you! Just wanted to share it! This photo is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Be sure to read the text below to have a better understanding of what you are viewing. It is Historic too as this is the last mission for Columbia. [img]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/jessicaholsinger/SUNSETFROMCOLUMBIA.jpg[/img] The photograph was taken by the crew on board the Columbia during its last mission, on a cloudless day. The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting. Half of the picture is in night. The bright dots you see are the cities lights. The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert. Note that the lights are already on in Holland, Paris, and Barcelona, and that's it's still daylight in Dublin, London, Lisbon, and Madrid. The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar. The Mediterranean Sea is already in darkness. In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands; below them to the right are the Madeira Islands; a bit below are the Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point of Africa, are the Cape Verde islands. Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during Daytime and night time. To the left, on top, is Greenland, totally frozen.
  14. HI, Just a little info on a vet- Depending on where you live- Most PetSmarts have a pet hospital in them- Banfield Pet Hospital. Their website is [url]www.banfield.net[/url] They have a welness plan that for $99.00 down and $20 a month they will cover all shots, deworming, neutering and spaying, all visits are free and with the meds you will get 10% off. I have Stealth and with having him just a little over a year I have saved over $1700 dollars! Also, know that they don't cover all problems but atleast this might help! I agree with everyone- You need to get her soon. Good Luck and I hope that your pup gets feeling better soon- but the longer you wait the more possibility of her not making it. Keep us all informed!
  15. Thank you all so much....I will make sure that me and my husband will start on this! I was so stressing that what I did was so wrong and made sure that he knew I loved him so much! That is my little pal and he goes to work with me on Friday nights and I was scared of bringing him with me but I think that this will be a good start. Again- THANK YOU SO MUCH!
  16. Thank you all so much. I think that this will work. I am trying to correct this before we leave on the 26th for vacation to Destin, FL. We found a doggie daycare there that he will be able to go to and it is so much cheaper than the one that he goes to here in the DC area...... Any more suggestions will help.........THANK YOU all so MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! I will start working on this.
  17. Okay for the last few nights Stealth has been really bad. Constantly barking going to potty out side and then coming in and wanting to go back out to potty- then there is getting into the food that is on the counter. He knows the rules but for some reason he is just not listening to us. I don't know what to do. I did however spank him tonight- I feel really bad because he ran from me after that. I don't think that I spanked him hard however that just broke my heart! That is my little buddy and the one thing that makes me happy however he is not listening to me at all. I don't know what to do at all. I am really upset over this and need some serious advise on what to do. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(
  18. Okay, Here are 2 other pics of stealth for you all.... [img]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/jessicaholsinger/Stealth%20Pics/stealthwithflag.jpg[/img] [img]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/jessicaholsinger/Stealth%20Pics/stealthwithflaglayingdown.jpg[/img] Just wanted to let you know what he looks like now! Talk to you all later! Jessica
  19. interesting- here is something for you though.....we live in Northern Virginia! Now the are that e live in is still somewhat country....I have deer, ground hogs, coons, and other animals that come in the yard and will leave their trail........Now outside with Stealth and playing and he takes off in the woods and completely ignores us....My husband has to run after him and drag him back because he does not have the leash and we will take him inside and not allow him out to play. What would your course of action be on that? We do praise him when he does come running back to us.....
