Stressed terrier goes into barking rage
Q.: We rescued a male mixed terrier a little more than 3 years ago. He will soon be 7 years old. He is the most loving and sweetest dog one could ever ask for. But, every time my husband or I open the door to go outside or leave in the car, this little dog goes into this crazy barking rage. Thank goodness it only lasts for just a few minutes. We don’t know if he did this before we got him or not. We have tried the kind, sweet way to get him to stop, as well as the firm NO word but NO luck. We hope that you could give us some advice on what to do.
A.: It sounds like your terrier gets very stressed when you leave the house. Because the barking only lasts a short period of time, you have a good chance of helping him. A videotape of what happens after he stops barking would be very helpful, because you are not only measuring the barking but also the level of stress of the animal overall when they are left by themselves.
Barking is just one sign of stress. For example, what if he paces and pants the entire time that you’re gone? He is still showing signs of stress, he just isn’t working. We want to know how stressed the patient is when the owner is gone, so we can work toward providing a better quality of life, not just alleviating the barking. So, first get that videotape.
Once you know the duration of your dog signs, it will be easier to treat him. If he truly just barks for a couple of minutes and goes to sleep, you can probably handle that by simply giving him a food toy with yummy treats and it about 15 minutes before you leave the house. Also, you want to make sure that you ignore any and all barking that he does. Finally, you can practice simple exercises such as the down/stay, where you work on walking around the house so he can learn to be independent from you.
If the video shows your dog is highly distressed for long periods of time, you should seek help from your primary care veterinarian or a board-certified veterinary behaviorist. You can find one at www.dacvb.org.

Coconut Oil for Dogs
With age, often comes additional weight, and the family pouch often experiences weight gain as their metabolism slows and they enter their middle age or golden years. For pet owners that do own overweight dogs, coconut oil for dogs is an addition to the diet that can help to slim the dog. Aside from slimming the dog, the coconut oil has many other benefits such as:
- � Conditions the animal?s coat
- � Relieve arthritis pain
- � Relieve ligament problems
- � Balance the thyroid
- � Improve ear infections
- � Aids in skin irritations
- � Helps with dermatitis
- � Helps with flea allergies
- � Help to increase the dog?s energy
- � And helps to keep the dog smelling good
Coconut oil improves the animal?s digestion and nutrient absorption and is definitely an addition to the animal?s diet that each owner should consider.
The oil is tasty for the animal and can be feed to the dog on a kitchen spoon. The proper dosage is 1 teaspoon per 20 pounds of the animal?s weight.
Coconut oil is also available in coconut chips for dogs.

Radiation can help prevent tumor regrowth
Q.: What does tumor recurrence mean? My dog had a large sarcoma removed from his side. My veterinarian is concerned about the tumor growing back. How can the tumor grow back if it is no longer visible. Why is it a poor prognosis for my dog if the tumor regrows?
A.: The regrowth of a tumor in its original location can occur, and is commonly seen with tumors called sarcomas, which is the type of tumor removed from your dog. The diagnosis is made when the tumor is removed and the tissues are examined by a pathologist.
Sarcomas are tumors that grow very aggressively, and have microscopic tendrils of tumor cells that dive into the deeper tissues and are impossible to remove surgically. Although the primary tumor is no longer visible, there is still residual microscopic disease present at the location of the original tumor. These microscopic tumor cells start to multiply and divide. They are able to easily obtain nutrients and oxygen from the microenvironment, since the large bulky tumor has been removed and the microscopic cells no longer have to compete with the large tumor for nutrients.
As the cells multiply and divide, they form a visible mass at the location of the original incision line. This is what we call tumor regrowth. Depending upon a number of factors, the tumor can regrow in as little as 30 days, or may take as long as a year to regrow. The concern with regrowth is that the tumor becomes even more aggressive when it regrows, and the chance for distant metastasis increases each time the tumor regrows.
In general, the treatment we use to destroy microscopic tumor cells before they regrow is radiation therapy. This type of treatment is very effective at destroying tumor cells and most dogs with sarcomas are cured after receiving radiation treatment. Therefore, by preventing tumor regrowth patients have a very favorable long-term prognosis.

Cat biting owner after being adopted
Q: I adopted a 2-year-old calico cat a month ago. She only has three legs, no right front leg. When I try to pet her, she bites me. I have contacted the agency I adopted her from about giving her back due to this biting issue. Today, I adopted another 2-year-calico, which I have in the bedroom, until they are used to each other?s scent. How do I get the three-legged cat to stop biting me when I try to pet her? Is there someone in the area that specializes in this kind of situation? This biting is going to force me to give her back to an adoption agency. ? Ty
A: Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorists specialize in this kind of problem. To find a Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist in your area, go to www.dacvb.org.
In the meantime, don’t pet your cat anywhere on her body, except her head, as cats often bite when they are petted down their back. In addition, look for signs such as dilated pupils and tail thumping (the tail swishing back and forth forcefully). If you see these signs, make sure to stop petting your cat immediately. This way, you will not worsen the behavior before you get to see a professional.

Helping cat lose weight can be difficult
Q.: I have a beautiful tabby cat I rescued from the pound, where she was would have died that day if I did not adopt her! She was really thin and scrawny when I got her and now she loves to eat. Well, she grew rapidly and filled out.
She is now 3 years old, and my vet says she is too fat. I feed her only a small amount of food, but when I checked her weight again she has gained even more weight. I can?t feed her less, because she meows and cries and drives me crazy. She will jump on my bed and wake me up to feed her at night. She really like her cat treats and begs for them. Why is she gaining weight? How much should I feed her? – Lola
A.: Thank you for rescuing this kitty! Weight loss in cats can be difficult to accomplish. I cannot tell you how much to feed unless I know what you are feeding. Cat food can be anywhere from 250 kilocalories per cup to 900 kilocalories per cup.
I can tell you how many kilocalories per day to feed and then we can pick the right food for your cats needs and determine how many cups based on the kilocalories per cup.
First, I need to know what your cat?s ideal weight should be. Please ask your veterinarian to calculate her ideal weight for you. Once we determine her ideal weight, we can calculate how many cups of food, and how many treats your cat can eat each day.
Since your cat is loud and demanding when she wants food, we need to change her eating patterns. Many cat owners think when their cat is meowing and crying that they want food, but often they only want fresh water or attention.
Focus on putting your cat on a program. Try putting her dry food into puzzle toys. She has to bat around the toy to get the food to tumble out. Divide her food into three feedings per day.
The average 10-pound, overweight indoor cat that?s inactive only needs 195 kilocalories per day to achieve weight loss. Try feeding a diet cat food like Hills Prescription diet feline r/d food. It has only 264 kilocalories per cup and she can have � cup three times a day. Reserve 10 pieces of kibble to give her as treats, one at a time during the day. Keep in mind most grocery store foods are around 500 kilocalories per cup and your cat would only be able to eat a total of 1/3 cup of food to achieve weight loss.
Try scheduling in time for attention and exercise. Get her several action toys like a feather wand, laser light chase toy, balls for batting, or catnip mouse. Keep the toys in a special basket or box and bring them out one out at a time when you get home to play with her. By engaging her in play, you help her burn more calories and you help re-focus her to play. She will think about playing instead of eating. Cats often eat out of boredom.
Cats need to loose weight slowly; about a half a pound per month is good. Good luck with her weight loss journey.

Better to have petsitter or board cat for vacation?
Q.: I adopted a 3-year-old cat several months ago. He is very affectionate and always wants to be near me. I am going on vacation for three weeks. I have someone to feed him, but she will not spend time playing with him. Is it better for me to board him, he might get more attention or leave him at home? He gets very stressed out being put in the carrier; maybe he feels he is going back to the shelter. He was there for quite a long time.
A.: I am glad that you adopted a loving cat. Three weeks is a long time and could be very stressful for your cat. Your cat deserves some attention and love. I would check around for a nice feline boarding facility that has a play area for cats where they can run and climb and explore. Look for staff members that are interested in interacting with the cats and making their stay comfortable.
Many cats are fearful of being put into a cat carrier. I recommend playing with your cat and using a feather wand to lure him in and out of his carrier. Practice this daily at home and make it a game. He can get a favorite treat each time he goes in the carrier. Leave the carrier out in the living room in a favorite spot and place a comfortable blanket inside and see if he goes in and takes a nap on his own. If you take the time now to make sure he likes his carrier, he will not be afraid to get in when you need to take him somewhere.
It is always good to know that your cat is in a safe place and is being watched by expert staff! Make sure that you have given authority to someone in case he has a medical emergency. Hopefully, he will be healthy and happy, but sometimes problems arise and it is nice to know that he will be taken care of properly.

Will salt water at beach hurt my dog?
Q.: Is it ok to bring my dog to the beach? Will the salt water hurt her? – Jean W
A.: This is a great question. There are several beaches that allow dogs, but most public beaches don’t allow dogs. You can get a hefty ticket for bringing your dog to the wrong beach.
Make sure your dog is on a leash. Bring plenty of fresh water for your dog to drink and make sure she can find a shady area to rest. Dogs pant to cool themselves off and the Florida sun can overheat them quickly if they are running hard and playing. Make sure you bring doggy cleanup bags to pick up after your dog.
It is OK to let her wade in the water or swim. The salt water can be soothing for her skin but don’t let her drink it. Many dogs drink the salt water and can have diarrhea or vomiting. Slowly let her get used to the crashing waves and use a doggy life preserver if she is not a strong swimmer. Dogs can get caught in rip currents just like
humans.
Most dogs really enjoy time at the beach and it can be a great activity for you and your dog.

Most dog bites are preventable; see these tips
Q.: What do you think of the breed specific legislation that blame a whole breed for the action of a few dogs? Do you think it is fair to say that all pit bulls, rottweilers, chows, German shepherds, and dobermans are vicious and should be overly regulated or banned? What have you learned about dog behavior from your years in practice? What are your thoughts on how to deal with dog attacks/ dog bites? What has your experience taught you about the importance of training and socialization, and how owners deal with their pets? Doesn?t it seem more likely that training and socialization is more important in how a dog behaves than breed? – Elana
A.: Dog behavior can be a very complex subject. In my experience, it is more often the way the dog was raised and trained that causes the problem behavior. I have seen dogs of every breed that were well behaved and gentle. I have also seen almost any breed capable of biting. All breeds of dogs have large, sharp teeth and they can almost all be provoked into using them. To try and exclude certain breeds would not be the answer to the problem.
When puppies are raised in good environments with lots of social interaction and training they have a much better chance of growing up to be model canine good citizens.
Many well-meaning owners never take their dog to puppy socialization classes or puppy day care, and the puppy doesn?t get exposed to normal interactions with all kinds of stimuli. Most dogs never complete a dog obedience training class.
On the human side, I feel that most bites could have been prevented. I would like to see dog bite prevention classes taught in schools and communities. The American Veterinary Medical Association, ASPCA, and American Humane Association have programs on Dog Bite Prevention that are readily available to help teach people safe dog handling and training skills.
Simple bite prevention tips include:
- Teaching children not to approach or pet a strange dog.
- Don?t stare at a dog or look them in the eye.
- Don?t scream and run away from a dog, as this may incite the ?injured prey response? from the dog, causing him to chase or bite you. It is best to stand still and ignore the dog or roll up and lay very still on the ground.
- When you find yourself near a strange dog: stay calm, relax, talk quietly, walk slowly, keep your eyes down, and slowly move away.
- Do not attempt to touch or go near a dog while it is eating.
- Do not touch a sleeping dog or a mother dog with puppies.
- Do not approach a dog that is on its own property, as many will protect and defend their territory.
- Sick, injured, or elderly dogs are more likely to be grumpy or short tempered; stay away from them.
- Never try to hug a strange dog.
- Attend a dog bite prevention class.
- Always have your dog spayed or neutered.
- Do not encourage rough or aggressive play with your dog.
- Always ask for permission before petting someone else?s dog.
- Never try to pet a dog that is in a cage, kennel, crate, or bed.
Yes, Elana, it really helps when puppies receive proper socialization with other animals and humans from birth. They have a better chance of growing up to be dogs that are confident and loving with other people, animals, and strange situations. It also helps to socialize children to dogs at an early age and teach them respectful and confident behavior when they are around dogs.
