's Nails - part IFrom: Angela (USA)Labrador Retriever Name: BelloReader's E-mail - Angela Writes:Hi there! We have an 8 month old Chocolate lab. A few months ago, we noticed one of his nails was bleeding so we took him to the vet. The vet said the nail had been worn down to the quick and beyond – that’s why it was bleeding.He asked if he stayed outside all the time and/or if he was running around outside a lot. Well, he sleeps and stays indoors with us most of the time other than being in a kennel outside for a few hours during the workday; the worst part is that we do have a swimming pool and he loves to run around on the deck while we are in the water.I tried the bootie thing – he wore THROUGH them within 2 hours.

Retriever Name: AlleeReader's E-mail - Jamie Writes:Hello, I need itching help.My poor yellow lab Allee itches like a freak no matter what we do for her. Her ears, jaw line, pee pee area and her paws are the worst. She licks and licks between her pads, she won't even stop if we are yelling at her or saying "treats".We have taken her to an allergy specialist paid $600 to test her paws and jaw line. They found nothing, and wanted another $600 for full on allergy testing which would have led to allergy shots which we weren't into.We have tried Benedryl per the allergy specialist. We have switched food more times than I can remember. We have been on Wellness Fish & Potato, Natural Balance Fish & Potato, and now I think

Doggy Delightz - Dog Treat Samples 2008-03-06 20:27:00 Hello to everyone. Hope all is well. I have found another new free sample, this one for dog treats from Doggy Delightz.I just want to clarify a couple things when I post free offers to this blog. The first being that I do not provide the free samples, the listed companies do. I have received e-mails with people sending me their mailing address asking me to send them samples. There is always a link provided to click to the company and make your sample request.The second thing is that you must hurry when a free sample is posted. I also receive e-mails stating "I didn't get to request a free sample because it is expired". I have no control over this, as once again it is up to the company. The companies get overload with request and exhaust their free samples very quickly.Information From Dogg Read more:Samples

We had two other labs (black and yellow) and she looks exactly the same but brown. The only thing i am confused about is he mouth and eyelids are very pink.

Lab with Hair loss around the Eyes - part IFrom: Michelle (Japan)Labrador Retriever Name: FlashReader's E-mail - Michelle Writes:I was just searching the Internet trying to find causes for hair loss around a dog's eye. We have a 6-year old female chocolate lab named "Flash" and she has been loosing the hair around her right eye gradually over the past few months. There is a yellow, milky discharge coming from both eyes. We are temporarily living in Japan and I took her to the vet here in Tokyo. She said that her eyes looked clear (no sign of cataracts) and that the discharge was probably just from hair getting in her eyes. I am still suspicious that there is something else going on. The hair loss continues...Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Regards,Michell
