Dog Medical Problems
Determination and Treatment of Dog Behavior Problems
The root of dog behavior problems can either be of medical or behavioral nature, at times, both. The dogs clinical history, a physical examination and/or diagnostic testing the underlying causes contributing to the problem.
Some behavioral causes of dog behavior problems can be any change in the dogs environment such as having a new person to interact with or moving. Training, more specifically with regards to reinforcement and punishment, can also play a role. Its the method of training that can either stop or allow the continuation of the problem. Medical causes are ones that are the most difficult to improve on for they may be genetic factors that determine the dogs response to stimuli. The dogs environment during its most sensitive periods of development, the lack of stimulation, exposure, socialization and stressful events can also have an impact on the dogs behavior.
In order to put a stop to dog behavior problems, there are several ways to determine the underlying cause of them. Behavioral causes can be determined using the dogs history. An in depth analysis of the medical and behavioral past including the training of the dog would prove to be helpful. However, a diagnosis of a behavioral cause can only be done after all medical factors, such as age and a physical examination have been proven to not be a cause.
A decline in any of the senses, organ failure, hormonal diseases and any other disease that might cause any pain or discomfort are medical causes of dog behavior problems. Determining if the behavior is due to a medical problem, the assessment of clinical history and a physical examination are used. It would be helpful if any and all behavioral or medical changes that have occurred are detailed. Based on what is reported and the results of the examination, neurological examination or sensory testing may be performed. Other more comprehensive tests may only be done by specialists.
Once the cause of any dog behavior problems is determined, treatment to stop it can be done. Before beginning any therapy for it, any medical issue that has been diagnoses must first be treated. A change in diets or issuing a drug may be important in differentiating between a medical or behavioral cause. If a tumor is diagnosed or if a high sexual behavior is noted, surgery is an option for treatment.
A veterinarian can begin treatment of dog behavior problems for any long standing problems. Do not treat dogs with any so-called natural remedies or supplements like herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies and therapeutic touch and acupuncture. There are no studies that show if any of these types of treatments are actually effective. Although the same can be said for most drugs used in treatment, these have been proven to be effective in human behavior therapy. Be smart in choosing how to go about any problems and treat dogs the right way.

dogs medical problems!!! pls help?
i just went to the vet with my yorkshire terrier, Pepper, and the vet said that she has full cataract in one eye and the other eye has half. Besides that, he said that it is unusual for a 7 year old to get cataract and the reason for that might be that she is diebetic. (she seems normal besides the fact that she has less of an appetite and she doesn't run after her tennis ball anymore). AND she might have a heart murmmur. what can i expect? I am so sad right now, but what can i do to help her? Thank you...

Dog medical problem!?
I own a large female dog and today when I was washing her I noticed a dark brown/reddish liquid coming out of her vaginal area. She is 4 years old and spayed, so she couldn't be on heat, and is running around happily so she doesn't seem to be in any pain. Any suggestions?

Could all my dogs medical problems be because he is inbred?
I have had my dog for about a year and a half and i love him to bits and a few weeks ago i stumbled across his breeder on facebook and they had photos on there of my dogs mum and then here first litter which i found my dogs dad was in! I asked the woman if my dogs dad is also his brother and she said yes! My dog has had skin problems since he was a little puppy, he has been going for dermadex injections for atleast the past year, he gets ear infections all the time, he constantly chews his feet and now he has started chewing his tail and about a 7cm (2.5 inch) long strip has all gone to scabs and is bleeding and pussy! I have put gause pad things on his tail and taped it up with medical tape to stop him chewing it. He is also quite aggressive at other dogs that he doesnt know, and even sometimes at our other dog. Im just wondering if all this could be because he is inbred
he is already on chicken and rice food and that is all. we go to the vets once a week and have been for atleast the last year. He is a pitbull
that wors that is wiped out is pus sy
We are getting on top of his skin, there is nothing that can be done about it except for the weekly injections. Since i go once a week they notice any changes and they have checked him for everything. He just keeps getting sick, he will get treated for it, then about 2 weeks later it happens again. He is on a diet that the vet recommended. Due to his skin and that it can flare up at any chance i have to run any diet changes by him
