    My wife bought a "voice softened" sheltie

    Beetle is debarked My little bi black Beetle Bug is debarked and came from a breeder at 1 year old. We never would have done this to her, feel it is dangerous for her. We have twice "lost" her around the house. She went into another room and the garage, and we shut the door behind her. She was...

    Furminator

    I bought one full price! Hate It! I can't get it to glide over the fur like the video. What can I be doing wrong? My shelties coats are very thick and long.

    Wart on nose!

    Wart on nose Thanks for all who replied. Beetle's wart was getting bigger so I took her to the vet and had it removed. Was a Histo?? Not cancer. Took 2 stitches and she is fine. Hubby and I were very happy. Thanks! Liz

    Wart on nose!

    My poor little Beetle has a wart on her nose. I noticed it 2 weeks ago after I brought her back from the groomer. Could she have caught something? Is there anything I can do to remove the wart, like that liquid wart remover for humans? I would really like to have it gone!

    Tremors?

    My Shelties are afraid of thunder and wind too. They will cower and hide. I try to give them a Stress Free Complex pill mixed into some canned food. It takes about half hour to calm them. We also put a bath towel over them, it seems to help shelter them as they are hiding from the storm. I feel...

    Carsick shelties?

    My Beetle gets carsick everytime. Last time she puked 3 times on a 50 mile trip. She does't even want to go into the garage. I have tried dramamine an hour before a trip, sometimes it works. I have tried Stress Free Complex to make her sleep. sometimes that helps. We like to camp and travel, so...

    Shedding sheltie

    Since this is the first shelties that I've owned, can anyone tell me how often they shed? My lab shed 364 days a year! My male 3 year old sable Jack is shedding now-- gobs of fur--he may go bald. Fortunately he loves being brushed and will lay as long as you want. Jack has straight fur but any...

    Dry, wet, hard, soft.....

    I feed our little fluffy butt, Beetle, 1/3 cup Nutro Ultra Weight Management morning, noon and night. She is a real chow hound. When we were having problems with her peeing in her bed (see my other post in Health to Misty) the vet gave us Science Diet to keep her protein low. She absolutely...

    Sheltie won't drink water

    Our shelter sheltie Jack will not drink any water. We have to fill up his food with water and he has to drink the whole bowl to get his water. Has anyone had this problem and how to make him drink regularly. He does eat snow, but summer is coming. Help.

    Diabetes Insipidus

    The pill bottle says DES 1mg capsule orally twice weekly. If I hadn't been in such a panic over this, I should have allowed more time for the estrogen to work and saved big bucks on other tests. I forgot- this all started with the bad dog food last March. Beetle ketp throwing up when I fed...

    Diabetes Insipidus

    Accident pee Is little Misty spayed? Our Beetle did the same thing after a year of owning her. Took her to the vet and had all the blood work done also. The vet's first guess was a estrogen deficency because of being spayed. He gave us some estrogen pills and we gave them to Beetle for about 1...
