Unless fed really bad food at that age her teeth shouldn't be bad. Going into
heat doesn't cause shaking or panting but she should have been spayed before
any heats to prevent breast cancer. The risk rises with every heat until about
2 yrs old when she has the same risk as an unspayed bitch.

I forgot to add, they also sell beds made for arthritic dogs. He may need a
more cushioned surface to lay down on to relieve some of the pain. Some dogs
prefer a firmer foam type of bed. Try a couple of types along with his

We do have him on Metacam for the pain and I am tying him near the crate
instead of closing him in it. Leading him on the leash rather than picking
him up does seem to help. The other side of that is that he allows others
to pick him up without growling so some if it is behavioral!

Havanese are very expensive dogs too! They are a wonderful breed. Anyone
interested in adopting one could probably contact the rescue that they
mention.
Incredible that none of these dogs are barking while they video them. All
are exceptionally calm...hmm, maybe they drugged them?
There are diff methods of treatment but lots of exercise is necessary. St Johns
Wort can be helpful as well as valerian and melatonin. Stuffing her meal into
toys and hiding food around the house. Imdependence training. Monte is from a
shelter and many shelter dogs have some problems with it,
Like every other breed Havanese end up in shelters. Our local shelter had a
