Featured Dog Q&A

Why does my 3 year old Boston Terrier urinate in the house?

Dr. Horwitz, a Veterinarian says:
A dog might urinate indoors for several reasons. If the dog was house trained and suddenly has begun to eliminate indoors, a medical problem could be the reason for the behavioral change. A veterinary visit to check a urine sample would be a first step. If the dog is lifting their leg and urinating, they may be marking and neutering the dog may help. If the dog has always urinated in the home, then perhaps they were not house trained in the first place. Close supervision both indoors and outside can help retrain the dog where they should eliminate. If the dog eliminates only when left alone they may have separation anxiety. A visit to your veterinarian can help sort through the possibilities and then help design a treatment plan.

Featured Cat Q&A

He has a bb size hole in upper right shoulder, smells bad and foul. What can we do for it?

It sounds like a puncture wound most likely due to an encounter with another cat. These types of bite wounds often get infected from the bacteria in the cat's mouth and it sounds like that may be what is going on here. If it gets infected she'll have to be treated with antibiotics and it's best to have these wounds flushed out with a special antiseptic/ antibiotic solution. You should contact your veterinarian and make an appointment to have him take a look.
