Yorkie not sleeping soundly through night

Question: I?m worried about the strange behavior of my 10-year-old female, spayed Yorkie. She rattles the gate at night trying to get out so she can go out on porch through the doggie door. The gate keeps her with us and she has bedroom and kitchen for space.

She has always slept with us and now she has nights when she is unable to settle down. We took her to our vet a month ago and were told since she is a senior dog to cut back and change her dog food, which we did.

We switched from Cesar to Iams and she seems to like it alright. She also gets Royal Canine for Yorkies and a few treats. I should say I always let her out on deck before we go to bed.

What is wrong with her? I should also say we have always spoiled her and she is used to having her way.Thank you for any help you can provide as her gate rattling is driving me nuts. I would like to be able to go to sleep. — Norma

Answer: It can be very frustrating to get up night after night with a pet. You took the first step to get her a good comprehensive physical exam and change her diet. Since nothing major was uncovered at the exam, you need to have a Senior Wellness blood profile done with a urinalysis. Many older dogs have urinary tract infections or kidney problems. An infection can cause her to get sudden urges to go outside to urinate.

The sooner that the problem is found and corrected the better. Long-standing bladder infections can lead to more serious kidney infections if not treated in a timely manner. A simple urine analysis can give your veterinarian a good idea of what problems may be causing her restless nights. Urinary infections are generally treated with antibiotics.

Your pet?s blood test will help to make sure the liver and kidneys are still functioning normally. Often the results of the blood testing may uncover the need to change the diet to an even more specific formula and sometimes a prescription food is needed.
Even thyroid disease may cause changes in nighttime behavior.

Remember older dogs don?t like change. Try to keep your bedtime routine the same. Make sure she goes outside to eliminate right before settling down to sleep. Give her a comfy orthopedic doggie mattress and make sure the room is dark and quiet. A gentle comforting massage can help her relax and go to sleep.

Dogs can get cognitive dysfunction similar to what people experience as they age. They can have changes in nighttime routines, as well as a decline in other mental areas. It is important to do blood work and rule out other physical causes of these behaviors prior to treating for canine cognitive dysfunction. Remember not to scold her for her behavior. It will only increase her anxiety and make things worse.

How hilarious is that?! Owner Renata Kursa of Lublin, Poland, was heartbroken when poor lil' Bak was left blind after an accident last...

Boston terrier chews everything in sight

Question: Rocky is a 4-year-old Boston terrier. He still thinks I?m a chew toy. He is crated during the day, or he would eat everything in the house. I leave him out of his cage at night and he sleeps with me. I love him so much; he?s very cuddly. But I can?t even buy him a toy, because he eats them! What can I do? I can?t put a blanket or pillow in his crate because he eats it. ? Peggy

Answer: Rocky may have separation anxiety if he primarily destroys when you are out of the house. He may also have confinement anxiety if he primarily destroys when you put him in the crate. If his signs fit with either of those diseases, you should visit your veterinarian’s office for help.

If he also destroys when you are home, he most likely is just bored, frustrated or wants attention from you. Many owners tell me that they don’t buy toys for their pet because their pet destroys them, but that is just the reason to buy toys for your pet!

Destroying things is a normal part of being a dog. Your dog needs an environment of plenty. He should have more toys than he can count. Rotate toys on a daily basis, so the toys seem new to him each day. That way, they will keep his interest. Make sure that you are giving him safe toys, especially if he actually ingests them as opposed to just destroying them.

Keep him well exercised by taking him out each day for a long walk during a cool part of the day. You might also consider doggie daycare to wear him out. Finally, make sure that he knows how to get attention from you (sitting is best) and that you don’t reward him for mouthing you or destroying toys.

Is medication needed for biting parakeet?

Question: I have a ?bipolar? quaker parakeet and want him to stop biting. He?ll start off as sweet as pie, then, in a second flat, try to bite me. Are there any medications to level off his behavior? - Berdi

Answer: Biting is a very common bird behavior. It is right up there with excessive vocalizations (screaming, chirping).

Contributing factors to bird misbehavior include inadequate environment, unstructured interactions with the owner and poor diet. In addition to these factors, birds learn through trial and error that people respond to bites quickly. Then, the bird uses that tool to communicate with the owner, because that is what works for him.

For example, if he tried in other ways to communicate fear or discomfort and those signals weren?t heeded, but the bite was, he will use the bite more often because it works to convey his message.

Medications can be used to treat bird behavior problems, but we don?t have a lot of information on how these medications are metabolized in birds and what dosages are necessary to achieve a clinical effect. We use them with caution when other methods don?t work or when the problem is severe. This may be the case with your bird.

To find out, go to your primary care veterinarian?s office for a physical examination, labwork and an assessment of your bird?s diet. If all is well, your bird may be a candidate.

You can find a Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist at www.dacvb.org. These are the experts in the use of psychotropic medications in animals, as well as the use of concurrent behavior modification. In the meantime, go to the articles page of my website www.flvetbehavior.com and download the bird enrichment article to get started improving your bird?s mood.

Nail Polish & Nail Polish Pens for Dogs


A day at the spa is wonderful for all of us.  And, for dog owners that truly care for their animal, there is nothing better than a pedicure to protect there hard traveled nails.  Dog nail polish not only adds life to the animal as you can show off their spirit in the color of the dog nail polish, it protects their nails from the daily wear and tear.

Dog nail polish is water and chip resistant.   Dog nail polish comes in glitter, solids and transparent colors and truly leaves the animal dazzling.  For dogs that love being pampered dog nail polish is a great idea. 

Dog nail polish is fairly inexpensive.  You can purchase a bottle for a little over a dollar.  One coat is normally all that needs to be applied, so the bottle goes quite a long way and the animal will truly love the comfort of the dog nail polish on their nails.

Lab always jumps in pool; needs boundary training

Question: Our 5-year-old chocolate lab treats the swimming pool like it is hers. She wanders into it whenever she feels like it, especially after running hard or playing ball. How can we teach her the pool has a boundary and she needs to wait to be invited to go in? — Drew

Answer: Labrador Retrievers, as well as many other breeds of dogs, love to swim. It is the perfect way to relax and cool off, and it is a great way for them to exercise and entertain themselves.

Swimming is a non-weight bearing activity that helps condition muscles and joints and can help dogs with arthritis.

I recommend dogs always be supervised when in the pool. Dogs who have never been swimming should be fitted with a doggie life jacket for the first few times in the pool. Not every dog is a good swimmer. Unfortunately, every year many dogs drown in backyard pools. It is not uncommon for a dog to fall in the pool. They often try to turn around and get out at the same place where they fell in. Many dogs cannot climb out over the tile edge. They eventually get exhausted and drown. Always teach your dog where the steps are and how to get out.

Make sure to dry your dog?s ears after swimming and apply a good ear cleaner to help prevent ear infections. Occasionally, dogs may need to be restricted from swimming daily if they have skin or ear infections that need to stay dry to heal. The easiest way to accomplish this is by placing a pool fence around the pool and not allowing your dog access to this area.

You may need to leash walk your dog if the only fenced yard that you have is around the pool. If you want to try to train your dog to stay out of the pool, it will take a lot of patience and practice.

In a good basic obedience class, your dog can learn commands to sit, stay, come, leave it, off, and others. These commands will help you to direct your dog to stay out of the pool. Your obedience class trainer can help you with specifics. Clicker training can also aid you in accomplishing this.

Spring Dresses For Dogs


Nothing is more appealing to a girl than dressing up.  And, females love to dazzle with female dogs being no exception to the rule!

Dog dresses are designed to fit the animal comfortably and to make a fashion statement.  Whether you have a conservative pouch or one that is a bit more aggressive there is a style that will fit their personality! 

This year features many materials that are comfortable for the dog such as satin, knits, cottons and more.  Dog dresses can be light and airy, or cozy, comfortable sweater dresses which are more tight to the dogs body.  Whatever the style, dog dresses are designed to dress up the dog, add protection on cold windy days and to keep the animal comfortable.  There are many benefits to dog dresses and for the animal that truly loves being pampered, there will be no problem getting them to get into the spirit of dressing!

Official Captain America Trailer

The official trailer has been released for the highly anticipated big-screen adaption of Captain America! Wow, I think this movie looks great.

He protects the weak, because [...]
