My dog eats about 1-2 times a day and he’s really really skinny. you can see his ribs. its like all of his fat is burnt off. what is wrong with him and what can i do to help him? the other dogs are acting really strange and won’t start barking when i go to pet the sick one and they always get mad when i go to pet this dog.
6 years old
male
yellow lab
There are a few possibilities.
You might not be feeding him enough food.
The food you are feeding him might just be crappy food.
However I would assume you feed all the other dogs the same and you didn;t mention any of them having this problem so the most likely option is that the dog has some sort of condition that prevents it from absorbing the nutrients from its food.
when i say cheap i mean i can get the pet some toys r whatever it needs for less than 100. i really want a hamster ot turtle but my mom won’t let me. and i don’t want a lizard or a snake. something that i could play with–atleast a little..i just want a pet. i’ve wanted a dog since i was two but my mom won’t let me have one and she won’t let me have a hamster ot turtle cuz she says they smell but i was going to keep it clean and in my room. please help me. i just want a pet. something that a 13 year old girl would like. thanks sooo much guys!!
btw..no cats!! i hate cats plus my mom is allergic
to tell you the truth no animal is less than 100 dollars , with everything . the care of an animal is the most important thing, and if you don;t have enough money for the animal you shouldn’t get an pet , i ‘d suggest maybe a gerbil , ( they are a little bit squirmy) or you can get like a land frog, or a Water frog , a newt , or some type of fish , but if you get any of these animals they need a large enough cage. or maybe a rabbit, or a Guinea pig, they are low mantiance animals when it comes to the cage part don’t buy one of those small little cages get a 2 – 3 level cage so they can run around never get a baby one, they die quickly , and you’ll be spending around $15 dollars a month for food and toys ,the food is quite cheap the toys are more money if you wanted to get a rabbit or a Guinea pig get like a hammock or a bed for them and any kind of animal has an odor but what you do is –> buy aspen pine bedding , buy odor control for the cage every time u clean it spray it on the bottom of the cage , put the bedding on top spray some non toxic odor control spray on top of the bedding and your good to go!
some tips-
rabbits,Guinea pigs, and gerbils are very delicate animals and you can’t drop them , but they do loved to be played with, and watched , dont give them to many fruits and vegetables cause it causes them to have diehrea and constipation , and that’s when it starts to smell. if you wanna give them treats i suggest alfalfa ,or hay. those little dried carrots or those other treats.and you have to let the animals run around in a room for about 30 minutes to an hour in a wide animal proof room , meaning no places where the animal can hide or escape you can buy a large enough pen for them to run around in, and during the summer (not on hot days) you can put them outside in a hut with a gate around it large and tall enough so they can’t get away . they cost 100 dollars and up.
some smaller animals -
rats
&
mice
(rats and mice should be cared for the same way you care for rabbits and Guinea pigs).
an expensive animal –
chinchilla
they go for 100 to 400 dollars depending on where you get one and whether its a female or male and what color it is , the chinchilla requires at least an hour of play (not in a gate ) running in a chinchilla proof room.and they cant be fed veggies or fruits it also causes constipation and direareha they enjoy oatmeal (only give them a few pieces a day).
if you have any more questions ill be happy to awnser
hope it helps! !

Like with most relationships, the one with your dog can be pretty rocky. You would not believe this, but even the owners of very well trained dogs have noticed that their dog have behavioral problems especially when things changes. Yep, dogs have been known to really out when their owners go back to school, work longer hours, get married or have babies. You need to know that dogs are not themselves when they are in pain or ill and there are some dogs that are simply not right due to problems inherited from poor breed.
You do not want to go through all the stress of dog training only to discover that all your training has gone right out of the window. Here are some things that you will need to do in order to make sure that your well behaved dog remains that way:
You should never that you are the leader of the pack. Always remind that your pet is programmed (genetically) to be part of a group and to obey the leader of the group (or in this case, pack). If you make the mistake of not providing him or her with consistently strong, but fair leadership, your dog will naturally want to become the leader. If by some default, your dog becomes the leader, please be informed that that your dog’s behavior problems will increase. Here are some guidelines to help your dog remember who is boss:
· Do not let your dog pull on his leash
· Do not let your dog get away with bad behavior
· You should protect your pet from people or other animals who are trying to harm him/her.
· Do not pull the leash on your pet until he/she sits quietly
· Make sure that you always eat before your dog
· Do not allow your do to bite anybody
· Do not chase or play pretty rough games such as tug of war with your pet
· Make sure that you always go through doorways before your dog
· Do not give your dog anything – food, attention, play (nada!) – Without your dog doing something for you fist, such as sitting on command. This is the oldest trick in the dog training book.
· Try as much as possible to be calm, confident and fair when you are dealing with your dog.
· Do not allow your dog go on your furniture without your permission
If you are a very strong leader, you dog will have no choice but to naturally respect you and would do anything to please you. Your dog will love you and will want to do anything to want to please you.
You also need to know that you will have to train your dog everyday because if don’t, your dog will forget. You should also you praise your dog and give him/her treats as well – dogs love this. And lastly, do not yell or even think about hitting your dog.
