2013-08-14 Thread Helen Cunningham
Dog folks, I just learned that a lot of people are experiencing SERIOUS dog and cat health problems with Pedigree, which has admitted they recently changed the formula but has not yet recalled the food. Here is one site on which personal comments have been posted.

[Chihuahuas] FDA Webinar on NSAIDs in Dogs Cats!

2012-02-22 Thread Helen Cunningham
This just came over the wire. A little late notice but sounds like a great webinar! It's at 2 pm EST today, which will be 11 am PST. I get an email FDA newsletter several times per week, and am very impressed with the hard work they put into safety of our (and our pets') food drugs.

[Chihuahuas] Re questionable behavior

2012-02-07 Thread Helen Cunningham
My boy Bernie arrived at our house, age 2, fully intact. We had him neutered as part of the adoption contract, but ... he continued to hump (and I mean all the way to a little doggie howling climax) for about 6 years. Thankfully the frequency has finally diminished to near zero. It started out

It sounds like you are caring for his physical needs, and that's wonderful. If he seems healthy and happy, then you are doing the right thing. But I'm concerned to hear that he sits in one place all day! Why is that? Why don't you carry him around with you? Chi's are pretty light. You

I have a little rescue chi (Meech) who came to me with the same issues. He had no idea what it meant to pee outside. He did pee inside, however (unfortunately). Well luckily I had an older chi (Bernie) and he became Meechi's mentor in the peeing department. Going from bush to bush, plant to

[Chihuahuas] So Sorry

2011-10-29 Thread Helen Cunningham
So sorry to hear about your babies! Mine throw up occasionally and have diarrhea occasionally too. My husband says it's due to giving them cheese and he's probably right. They don't get much but occasionally ... yes. I wouldn't think lettuce would do it, but fruit probably would. A lot of

Love your web site and envy your life style. I want to do rescue but I have this person called a husband living in my house who imposes strict limits on the numbers. :) Right now we're at 2 chihuahuas + 2 cats ... and holding. Best wishes! Helen

[Chihuahuas] House Training a Chi

2011-10-01 Thread Helen Cunningham
Yes, both of my boys (one is 9 years old and one is 2 years old) go in the house occasionally. They were both rescues so maybe they didn't have the patient teaching you are giving your little girl. But I've heard elsewhere that Chis are hard to house train. What would Cesar Milan do? Funny,
