Questions Cat behavior
I have my cat a month ago, I think it is like 4 or 5 months. She is sweet, she is doing MUCH lol eat spoiled and very adorable, but I have questions about their behavior. To "play" sometimes, when your pet gets back and starts trying to scratch and bite the hand. The bites are not difficult of all, I left her, and she tries to escape, but I wonder I'm really really bothering you or is playing? Also, why she is so hyper?. Sometimes she will run around the house, go crazy and be like going crazy spaz attack and I never understood why it is as if chasing the air. . Why struggle with his own tail? I doubt she has any fleas or ticks or anything, but sometimes she'll go at it fighting with his tail, biting and scratching that for a few minutes each time. Thank you. What I discovered was – totally sounds like a cat to me. Our cat 7 months of age actually go up the walls and always spazzing out. Especially after a nap, when "light" and then goes crazy. It's adorable, till it hits a glass coffee table while running through it in Mach2. But it's still adorable I agree with the person who told him to enjoy his playful kitten.

Dog Urinating Problems
I have a chauhaua, very small compared to my older one. I just got her 4 months ago. She is a very submissive dog and very attention seeking and lovable. She does have a problem with urinating when she gets excited which I am dealing with. What I can't figure out is she loves her kennel but will urinate in it in her sleep and then lays in it so I am having to bath her very frequently and clean her kennel daily. I don't know how to get her to stop. She is over a year old and was given to me from a family locally. I also recognize she is fine with me and my daughter but when my husband comes in the room she hides between my legs or darts to her kennel. If he talks in a high pitched voice and tried to sound sweet she will come to him. If he talks normally she has an anxiety attack and runs from him. She is full blooded with paperwork but came to my home with fleas and worms so I have a feeling she was mistreated. What do you do with a dog who is that anxious. After speaking to others on the web, I found the answer. Make sure you are rewarding the behavior you want. By reward I mean petting, attention, ect. When dogs show fear or anxiety the natural human response is to try to comfort them which to a dog translates into "good this is what your supposed to do". Ignore her completely when she runs from him and reward her when she makes the slightest approach to him. Do some confidence building games such as a agility tunnel, teach some basic obedience, when her confidence increases the submissive urinating will decrease. As far as the kennel I would recommend a vet trip to check for sickness, also check the size of the kennel dogs will pee in there if there is too much room. Also she may have been raised in a kennel or left in there to long so she has learned that the kennel is a bathroom. Try feeding her in there. . You can feed her daily food or give her biscuits or a kong filled with peanut butter, dogs instinctual don't want to soil where there is food. So the kennel becomes more of a kitchen and bedroom. Play some soft music that might help her sleep throught the night. The other thing you can try is establish a puppy safe room with all hard floor, like the bathroom or kitchen baby gate or lock the dog in there at night with all rugs and stuff picked up and the open kennel and a puppy pad in the room. This worked for my dog, they figure out fast that the only cozy warm place to sleep is my kennel and eventually will not soil it. It also gives them the option to get out if the kennel to soil if they need to. With my dog I did this for a while and he has never soiled his crate sense. Remember dogs don't think about the past only we do so move forward and I hope I helped you.

Dog Behavior Chewing
My 8 year old Mini-Pinscher mix is chewing, biting, and licking her skin raw, especially around her tail and butt. She does NOT have fleas or ticks. I just want to find some relief for her. Late last year we got a puppy and she used to play with him a lot, but now she won't play with anyone and hides under the bed or behind the sofa all day. Why is she acting like this? What should I do? So, are these two things connected. I was so glad to find this — Daras is she balding in any of those areas? First, to offer relief from the itching you get ORIGINAL Listerine. Yes, the mouthwash found in any drug store. ONLY get the original (yellow) formula. Just dab on affected areas. I have used this for many rescues while they detox from systemic yeast infections. The alcoholic has a disinfectant quality, but this particular solution also numbs the skin a little which offers the dogs relief. Here's a post that I found online that discusses the severe itching issue: When allergies and/or infection begin to overtake the dog, loosing interest in play is very common. There are other topicals to help relief itch but seriously, I've dealt with this with so many rescues and the Listerine (ORIGINAL) really offered the best relief while they were healing and it is safer than cortisone creams. If an area has puss due to severe itching, then cleaning with witch hazel and dabbing Neosporin will help. Check out that link so that when you do go to a vet, you have some knowledge to base your decisions on. By the way, if your dog does have food allergies (which is a systemic yeast issue) then a grain-free diet isn't a cure. Out of last 55 rescue dogs, 20 needed a special diet due to allergies. It's not only what is in the kibble ingredient, but what the line-up/ratio of the ingredients are that affect the GI tract. I've tried everything over the years and the #1 option I've found in this case is Holistic Select Duck & Oatmeal.
