Regular teeth checkup, X-rays a must for all dogs
Question: Hello, I have two mini poodles, both 8 years old. They are having their teeth cleaned, and the vet said they have periodontal disease. He recommended X-rays as well, but are these really necessary? Are they harmful? — Lynne
Answer: Congratulations on doing the best to keep your dogs healthy. Dogs that get regular dental care live much longer than dogs that don?t. Small breed dogs are prone to dental disease. Routine dental cleanings every six to 12 months are very important for keeping the mouth healthy.
Since it is difficult to properly examine your dog?s mouth when he is awake, the pet is placed under general anesthesia for the diagnostic exam, cleaning, polishing, and fluoride treatment. It is during this time that X-rays are taken. It is even more important to take X-rays in dogs than it is with people.
People can tell you which tooth is hurting them and dogs can?t. Often even teeth that look perfectly normal will have disease that can only be detected by X-rays. X-rays will show the internal structure of the tooth and the surrounding bone.
Infection in the gums and supporting structures of the tooth can lead to loss of bone in the tooth socket. The tooth then begins to get loose and will eventually be lost if treatment is not started early.
Bacteria and plaque begin to build up as early as 12 hours after a cleaning. Then minerals in the food begin to turn the plaque layer into a hard substance called tartar.
Therefore, it is very important to brush your dog?s teeth regularly to remove plaque before it becomes tartar. Infection in the mouth leads to bad breath. The bacteria that cause the infection can get into the blood stream and settle in the kidneys, liver, and heart valves. Approximately 85 percent of dogs over the age of 4 years have periodontal disease. Kidney disease commonly occurs secondary to the periodontal disease. Most veterinarians recommend whole mouth X-rays every two years and X-rays of teeth that are abnormal at each dental cleaning in between.

Cockatiels? behavior worries owner
Question: I have five cockatiels: three males and two females. I have had the females and two of the males since they were a few days old. The other male is 15 years old. He took over one of the females. Their eggs are not fertile and the other birds won’t breed.
I think they are in love with me. I have one who screams if I leave the room, and in the morning he starts when the sun comes up. I have to let him out to sit on my shoulder. They have toys and I have tried pellets. They are 3 years old now.
They all get along except for the older one, who is just starting to listen to me. But the screamer, whose name is Peep, is starting to beat him up. When the older one came, he was a real bully, still is, but not as bad. Peep bonded with him like a mate for awhile and then stopped. Peep also sometimes grooms one other male I have and forces him to groom back. So I don’t know what is going on. Can you help me? - Rose
Answer: Birds have a complex social structure and in the wild they would need to fly in search of food and shelter every day. They would be busy trying to find enough food to stay alive and possibly raise a family. These cute little birds still have ?wild bird instincts? .
When we keep birds in a cage and supplying them with high calorie food that they can eat quickly, they have nothing else to do for the rest of the day. They often turn to ?abnormal behaviors?. Abnormal behaviors, like screaming, over-preening, and aggressiveness, can create stress for you and your birds.
Your birds are lucky because they have a ?flock?. We can help to enrich our captive birds lives by providing a more stimulating environment.
Make foraging for food fun and exciting! You can wrap food and treats in small paper packages or place them in cardboard tubes. Hide bits of food in holes drilled in boards or perches. Make a sandbox of large wooded buttons, dried beans, and pieces of cardboard and hide food bites in the sandbox daily. The birds will need to scratch and dig and look for their food. Cockatiels like to forage for food together as a flock and this will give your birds a chance to work together in a more normal environment.
You can make a special foraging tree containing various toys that must be flipped or unscrewed to deliver a bit of food. There are various DVDs and web sites that have many ideas and tips on teaching your bird to forage. Try www.thebirdbrain.com or www.goodbird.com. Give your birds the opportunity to bathe daily. Try a shallow bowl of water, or a gentle drip of water from a faucet. Some birds like to come into the shower with you and other birds prefer a gentle misting with a spry bottle.
A little training time daily can help establish you as the leader. Use a separate training perch and teach your bird to step up onto your hand on command. Keep the perch lower than your face and never let your bird ride on your shoulder. Always use positive reinforcement with birds and never punish them.
Your little flock will be more content and have more social interaction if you can make these simple changes!

Dog Nail Clippers: Scary No More!
Each of us enjoys a good grooming. And, for dog?s, a good pedicure and manicure is no different. In fact, it is important for a dog?s nails to be properly groomed.
Dogs do not have the freedom that they once did. They aren?t allowed to roam the neighborhood, tearing down the sidewalks, filing their nails. Most dogs are strictly house or backyard dogs with a good walking once or twice a day. This means, without proper grooming, the dog?s nails begin to grow and become a hazard. Dog nail clippers are essential to the pet?s accessories.
Dog nail clippers are used to trim the dog?s nails. There are many different types of clippers available on the market in many different price ranges. It is important that as a pet owner you realize the need to keep your dog?s nails short in order to help maintain their health. Dog?s nails should be trimmed at least once a month. By doing so, you will help the dog from forming abrasions and scraps on his body when he scratches and his nails from becoming tangled in things.
Dog nail clippers can be found on the net and truly an accessory that each dog owner should include for their pet?s well being.

Dogs are eating each other?s stool - help!
Question: I read your article re: dog eating cat poop, and your solution, however, here is my question. I have two beagles, ages 4 and 6. This past winter, I have discovered they both are eating at each other?s poop! I try and clean up each morning, but if I miss a spot, they are at it again. My vet told me to sprinkle Adolph’s Meat Tenderizer on their dry food. ? Ed
Answer: Coprophagia is fairly common in dogs. Contrary to what you might read, there generally isn’t a dietary deficiency. Although the feces of certain dogs can be more appealing than others, possibly pointing to a maldigestion problem in that dog, not in the dog who is practicing coprophagia.
You can add different supplements (available through your veterinarian) such as Forbid, which will supposedly make the feces distasteful. Weird that you would have to make feces taste bad, isn’t it? However, when you stop adding these supplements and the dog tries to eat the feces again, they will learn that it tastes good and start all over.
This is generally a self-rewarding behavior, meaning that performing the behavior rewards the dog. Once a behavior is rewarded (dog eats fecal matter), there is no way to reverse that with punishment. That is why this behavior is best corrected with avoidance and response substitution. The first step is to clean up the elimination areas for your dogs immediately when they defecate. This way, the opportunity to practice coprophagia will be limited, helping you correct the behavior in the first place.
Next, teach your dogs a ?leave it? cue. Make sure to reward this behavior with something great like food or play. A clicker is especially helpful here because you will be working at a distance. You can find out more about clicker training on www.clickertraining.com.
Once you have this cue perfected (one to two weeks) you should be able to use it when your dog is about to eat the feces. This means that you have to watch your dog when in the yard. When you see that she is sniffing at something, call her name and tell her to leave it. When she lifts her head, even just a little, click and treat her.
In the next couple of weeks, you should be able to increase the criteria for the behavior meaning that while lifting her head earns a treat in the beginning, soon she will have to lift her head and take a step back or come to you. Make sure to reward this with big rewards like low-fat cheese or white meat chicken. Eventually, you should see that she offers this behavior when she sees feces on the ground. Catch the behavior with a click and a reward and you will have conditioned her to a offer a new response when she sees feces.

Regular teeth checkup, X-rays a must for all dogs
Question: Hello, I have two mini poodles, both 8 years old. They are having their teeth cleaned, and the vet said they have periodontal disease. He recommended X-rays as well, but are these really necessary? Are they harmful? — Lynne
Answer: Congratulations on doing the best to keep your dogs healthy. Dogs that get regular dental care live much longer than dogs that don?t. Small breed dogs are prone to dental disease. Routine dental cleanings every six to 12 months are very important for keeping the mouth healthy.
Since it is difficult to properly examine your dog?s mouth when he is awake, the pet is placed under general anesthesia for the diagnostic exam, cleaning, polishing, and fluoride treatment. It is during this time that X-rays are taken. It is even more important to take X-rays in dogs than it is with people.
People can tell you which tooth is hurting them and dogs can?t. Often even teeth that look perfectly normal will have disease that can only be detected by X-rays. X-rays will show the internal structure of the tooth and the surrounding bone.
Infection in the gums and supporting structures of the tooth can lead to loss of bone in the tooth socket. The tooth then begins to get loose and will eventually be lost if treatment is not started early.
Bacteria and plaque begin to build up as early as 12 hours after a cleaning. Then minerals in the food begin to turn the plaque layer into a hard substance called tartar.
Therefore, it is very important to brush your dog?s teeth regularly to remove plaque before it becomes tartar. Infection in the mouth leads to bad breath. The bacteria that cause the infection can get into the blood stream and settle in the kidneys, liver, and heart valves. Approximately 85 percent of dogs over the age of 4 years have periodontal disease. Kidney disease commonly occurs secondary to the periodontal disease. Most veterinarians recommend whole mouth X-rays every two years and X-rays of teeth that are abnormal at each dental cleaning in between.

Doggie Life Jackets
Do you happen to have a sailor on board? Or perhaps just that special companion that you enjoy sharing the waterways with. Either way, like all persons (or in this case animals) aboard, they will have to be protected with the proper safety gear.
Yes, even our animals need the protection of safety gear. And, that safety gear is dog life jackets. There isn?t anything more heart wrenching than considering a catastrophe on the waterways and our animals being sacrificed due to our lack of intelligence. With dog life jackets they are able to ride along with us and should that catastrophe occur they are protected.
While dogs may be some of the greatest swimmers, we cannot risk their lives based on this theory. Dogs are great swimmers; however currents are also very powerful and have taken some of the greatest swimmers in history down. If you are a boater, protect your dog with a dog life jacket.
