This is Noriko's first mentral cycle. I don't know what to expect. PLEASE TELL ME that her nipples turning purple is just part of the menstral cycle. 2 of her nipples are purple like it's bruised. No milk or anything. A couple days ago, they were really swollen like a pimple w/pus. She's about 2 wks into her cycle. No more bleeding but still swollen vulva. I was rubbing on it earlier and I don't know if her tummy was growling or if I heard a different heart beat. I want to say that it was growling. I would think it's too early for me to feel a heart beat since it takes a month until you can feel it....right?!?!?!?! One of the first things I do when I wake up is check spoiledmaltese. I'll call the vet second

I called the vet. They say discoloration of the nipple is normal. But I did read that discoloration is a sign of pregnancy too.
Tlunn--Yeah, I thought she was pregnant. I was so scared. She's like 4 lbs and Cloud is 10 lbs. Plus she's only 9 mos old. I know I couldnt have heard a heartbeat. I think it's just because it's my first time experiencing this, that you get overly worried/paranoid.
Today I brought home a rescue Maltese-cotón tulear mix.
She’ll stay with Belle and me till her forever family is fixed (the shelter is currently reviewing 2 families). Within a week or fortnight they should have a family.
She gets along very well with Belle, but she’s scared of me. When I give...
I was wondering about the weight our babies should be. Kobe is 3.5 lbs and according to the vet he hasn’t gained anything this last month. It worries me a little bit. The vet says that it’s fine but he seems skinny to me. He eats well. I serve his a half cup and we free feed. He eats probably...
We need to stop this! The problem is that Snowball is 8 years old and is the sweetest dog you ever saw! EVERYONE loves him and that is the problem. Sometimes they will try to pet him and he is OK. At other times he is still nice and adorable but when a person gets too close he will bark and go...
I hate it when Bailey isn't feeling well...which is not too often, luckily. But he is sick right now and I could really use some advice. Monday night, he started pacing back and forth and crying to go outside (not normal for him)...I took him out and he had a really loose stool. That day, he had...
I didn't want to hijack Baileysmommy Sad Story thread, but it did get me to wonder. This past weekend I had to get re-certified for CPR and first aid. During the class infants, and dogs were discussed in reference to CPR, how to breath for them, and choking.
I was wondering how many members out...
