My son is 7 and he will help around the house when he is asked. He is a very helpful person in general, but can not seem to follow a chore list, no matter what the reward. His chore list includes a few simple things like making...

mkcd1973 My children do chores when I beg them. THe only thing I have come up with is to reward them. I have created a chart with different chores that have to be done, either everyday, every-other-day, once a week and so on. If they do something on the list they get a...

As disgusting as it sounds to us, it's very common for a dog to eat it's own poop, or dip into the cat's litterbox. It's a natural behavior that they learn from their mother, who will eat the puppy's feces to keep the den clean....

mkcd1973 If you talk to your vet they can give you some stuff that you sprinkle on their food that apparently has no taste but it makes their poop taste really bad and it keeps them from eating it. There is also some stuff at Tractor Supply you can get called "Potty...

Our greatest source of joy is our children. I have three, 18, 11 and 9 and naturally wouldn't change that for the world. I'm at an age now that I won't have anymore, but even if I could I wouldn't. Even though I love them, three...

mkcd1973 I have 4 (counting my step-son) ages 15, 13, 12, and 9. My husband and I have talked a few times about wishing that we could have one of our own (our children came from previous marriages) but a hystorectomy and vasectomy have stopped us from having anymore...

mkcd1973 It seems that a lot of schools do that. My daughter is in the 4th grade in a southern Kentucky school and has to get on the bus at 6:30 in the morning. The other day she was ON THE BUS when the school board decided to close schools. They had to turn around and...

mkcd1973 I think one person on here said that the prednisone works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. I guess it just depends on the dog. But I think I have found the problem,,,yes he still scratches from the fleas and I am still in the process of getting that...

mkcd1973 The dog in question is pictured in my avatar, just in case anybody was wondering if that was him or not. But the thing about his paws being a redish color; without sounding like a smarty pants; he is red all over and it is more noticable now that I have...

mkcd1973 You all have been wonderful in giving me some ideas. I never thought that there would be so many more things that I have yet to try. This is great. Today I went and got him a different kind of food, I am going to try that for a little while and see if that...

mkcd1973 He did have a yeast infection in one of his ears but believe it or not he wasn't scratching his ear. The vet gave me some drops to put in his ear and it cleared up within a matter of days. But he doesn't smell like yeast.

mkcd1973 Where do you get Malaseb and Ketoconazole? and what is Ketoconazole used for? I have never heard of these products. To be honest with you I think that an antibiotic might be a good idea where he has open sores on his back. Everybody had given me some great...

mkcd1973 Well, the vet honestly didn't seem to interested in why Matrix was scratching. He just gave him some pills and said that if it didn't work then he didn't know what to do for him. (HUH?) Isn't it his job to find out why my little guy is in misery? I also...

mkcd1973 A humidifier is a good idea too. Not only will it help my children with their allergies but it could also help my dog. I read on some internet site that fleas don't like the smell of citrus so I got some dog shampoo with citrus in it and not only did it not...

mkcd1973 I am positive that part of it is fleas. I can see them crawling on him. I never thought that he may be allergic to his food. We have 6 other dogs that eat the same food and none of them have the itching problem so that never crossed my mind. That is definately...

mkcd1973 I feed him Ol Roy dry dog food (I believe that it is beef flavor but not really sure. And yes his belly is red or a pinkish color. He looks like he has a rash all over his belly. I thought that maybe he got into some poison ivy when he got out of the house but...

mkcd1973 Thank you I will try that. I believe that part of his problem is from fleas and the other is just dry skin. I read somewhere that dry skin is common in Shih-Tzu's (especially in purebreeds) The vet told me that part of his problem could be that he is...
