I have 2 shih tzu puppies. 7mo. old male is very obedient and confident. My 5 mo. old female immediately rolls over on her back with paws up when you reach out to pet her. I got them both from private breeders when they were each about 8 weeks old. Is this normal? Is she sad? Is this a big problem and how should I correct it?

My labrador retriever, Sassy, just recently had her 1st litter of puppies. They are 9 weeks old. I just put her back outside with out male, Sammy, and he’s following her around just like he was before the whole process started. Is she in heat again? And if so, can she get pregnant? Serious answers appreciated. Thanks.

My 10 month old puppy started with a strange habit. When she gets excited or plays she tends to move her back to the right or left as if she wants to check her tail. It is not her tail. The vet checked her and has no urinary infection or problems with anal glands, and there are no skin issues. Is there anyone out there that may have had the same experience?

I recently got a new puppy and i have just noticed that she has white scabs on her back legs somebody told me its just fur changes. What is it ?
She dosent have fleas as she has been de-flead recently she has been wormed etc..

They are raised patched on her lower back. She is consistently scratchy them. I am currently using a medicated shampoo from the Vet. But there has to be something else I can do for her for relief. She has got to be miserable. I need suggestions please and thank you.

She does a bear scratch on her back against anything she can find.

She gets in a frenzy, starts moaning and getting excited because it feels so good, I guess.

We took her to the vet and he said there are no fleas.

I don’t know what a hot spot looks like but the base of her tail, where she likes to scratch, looks a little rubbed down but not too bad.
The Vet didn’t know why she was scratching so much. They ran the full gambit.

She hasn’t even been limping. She’s just completely hopping around with her hind right leg up in the air. Her ankle/hock joint seems swollen, but she’ll let me touch it and she doesn’t seem to have any external injuries on her leg or foot. She had to have acl surgery a year ago for her back left leg. She’s a lab mix, about 80 lbs, a bit overweight. With her acl, she’d at least limp on the bad leg. I’ve got a vet appt. for her asap, but it’s still two days away b/c of the holiday Colorado weather. What could she have done and how can I make her more comfortable in the meantime?
Thanks for the answers so far. . . today she’s actually got a huge knot on the inside of her ankle (close to golf ball size). Yikes! I know this isn’t good and her vet appt. still stands. Any ideas what it could be?
