Simply place something strongly smelling under your tongue. Mice are neophilic, meaning they actively explore new objects and situations. she will investigate the new object that has appeared in her new home and climb her way back out!
Yup! And those crystals do havoc to any organ they form in, like tiny razor blades.
and depletes the blood calcium levels, so two layers of screwed for the price of 1
ähm u knew he is just a baby let him mature and wait till 1-1.5 years at least or for u in weeks: 52-78weeks
IV huh? That's wild, must be a very low concentration. Could only imagine how that feels goin through ones veins. Had an antibiotic drip pumped through me once and even that didn't feel great in my arm lol. How is the kidney function tracked though? Do you have to sample the urine produced via a catheter, or are there other markers to look for in the blood?
I would say that touching alone, as in non-sexual should start as early as possible. The dog should be comfortable being touched all over the body. Touch all feet, tug on legs, tail, etc. Grab nose gently, open mouth, etc. This includes genital areas, just touching as you would in any desensitization routine as I've described. Sexual stuff (stimulating, penetration, rubbing,etc) wait till the dog matures which will vary by breed but generally as you state 1-1.5 years is typical I agree.
And shameless vet plug here—same general concept goes for desensitizing your pup to getting nails done (so important!), held for blood draws, teeth examined, you name it. If you get them comfortable with all these things, clinic visits will go smoothly and be even better.
It's been a curious question of mine for a while: Why do many people get their pets neutered?
So there’s strong feelings on this from both pro and anti sides of the camp. The data is especially hard to gather here in the US, where so many of our animals are neutered as a matter of course.
That's very interesting though sad to hear. Thanks ?
Not that is really connected, but looking here from Europe the practice of neutering dogs somehow has become a cultural tradition in the same way that small boys are circumcised. As with the animal it is done on speculative reasons and the offended cannot escape.
Not that I know off being exposed - but is there sexual diseases amongst cows and sows which can infect me ?
Like @GAThrawn mentioned, to our current veterinary scientific knowledge, no common human venereally transmitted diseases can infect dogs. Score for Inter species intimacy!
The AKC and their allied organizations put out some splendid resources on all sorts of aspects of canine reproduction.
I read mostly individual scientific papers on specific topics which won’t be the general information you’re looking for. (Unless it is, and I can send it along)
5 dollars buys a treat for your dog instead and you don’t even have to stress about what the numbers are.
Bovines are the same species specific advice for dogs. None currently known! (Tritrichomonas, for example, is also two different species)
True. If neither I nor the sow / cow / human is infected we can’t harm each other.
I believe organic oil based anything is not good for any kind of sexual penetration. There are so many reasons including the fact that especially organic oils in the presence of moisture will eventually turn rancid and microbes will begin living in it breaking it down for nutrients as they multiply. Combine that with the body not being effective at washing / flushing them away via normal biological processes. Nothing you want in your or your partner's body.
I don't believe there is anything specific to watch out for unless your dog partner was just into something nasty out in the yard or woods prior to your activities. That being said, just like humans, mouths are full of all kinds of bacteria and such, so some teeth brushing afterwards is probably a good practice.
Thanks for your reply Erphy
There’s not a lot of research about the use of coconut oil when it comes to canines, especially on delicate mucous membranes. Like @erphy mentioned, my biggest issue with it is potential bacterial contamination within the container itself. J lube is cheaper and easier to use.
Provided you are immunocompetent, you should be perfectly fine kissing however deeply you want. There are no parasites that I am aware of passed orally from dogs to humans, and the few bacterial culprits for causing issues in humans are primarily in severely immunocompromised individuals. Other than the occasional nastiness dogs can sometime get into.
Thank You
Thank you??
I don’t know much about canine bacteria but humans do have lysozyme !
