And of course, in the dog house, you should make sure he has access to a comfortable blanket and bedding that is off of the ground. And most importantly, please don't hesitate to take him to the vet if he exhibits any odd behaviors. Risks Of The Cold Some pet owners tend to forget about the risk of cold winter weather for their pets. Here's some things to look out for: How Cold Is It Outside? Shivering or Trembling Dogs react to the cold a lot like we do.

Cold Ears Or Body Feeling your dog's ears is a good way to tell his temperature. Curling Up If your dog is curling into a ball or he is hunched over with the tail tucked in and shivering, it's likely in an attempt to warm himself with body heat. Image by KellyWoolen, Flickr If your dog is walking gingerly, or limping along the ground or through snow during the winter season, it's a sign that his paws are too cold.

Whining or Whimpering If your dog is uncomfortable, he may try to let you know by whining or whimpering or barking. Signs of Dangerous Hypothermia If your dog appears extremely sleepy and lethargic or moving in a clumsy manner, this may also be a sign that your dog may be too cold and at risk of hypothermia. How To Keep Your Dog Comfortable Remember to keep a close eye on your dog during extreme temperatures, If your dog is showing any of the signs for being too cold, take precautions to keep him warm, or bring him inside.

A cow pasture was near and he found some cow poop and rolled in it very fresh really good. I got home and gave him a good bath outside. Four days later he still smells. What can I do about it? He's mostly an inside dog. The old wives tale of a tomato juice rinse is a true one-get the cheapest you can because you're going to need a lot of it.

The juice may also stain the dog's coat for a while. Follow this link for more info: You can also try a vinegar rinse: I once had a dog who rolled in a heap of rotted fish, P-EEW for several days! It was awful and I ended up using all three of the above deodorisers to get the stench out, lol! I adopted a Border Collie mix a couple weeks ago, and this morning she got out of our yard and came back from the woods smelling like a dead fish.

I tried washing her with regular dog shampoo from the pet store, but she still smells just as bad. Anyone have a solution? She has long, somewhat kinky hair. Also anyone have tips for a dog who hates baths? ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet.

These are archives of older discussions. Does anyone know some kind of home remedy for a "smelly" dog! I have a Llaso who smells like a gym locker! I can give her a bath and less than a week later she smells. I didn't think it was good to give dogs that many baths but I don't have a choice. Thank you, Susan from Conn. Try rubbing some baby powder into her fur then brushing it out. I just read that the best way to clean a dog after skunk spray is to use female douche any scent I don't see why this wouldn't work for your dog. Best to find out if it isn't medical though.

Hope it works, I haven't had to try it yet. Before you decide to try all sorts of fancy shampoos, bring your dog to the vet. Your dog may have allergies that are causing its skin to produce extra oil. Just because your dog's skin and coat look healthy does not mean that it is. Use a good show rinse of the type you leave in the coat and towel dry the dog. My neighbor's old dog always had a foul odor. She constantly bathed him with no lasting results. She took him to the vet and found out that he had a bad tooth.

It was extracted and the odor was gone. Apparently when he would on occasion lick himself which would leave the odor on his fur. And like all dogs do, pant when excited which was very offensive. Everyone and her loving pet was happy with the results. I've also read you can wipe them down with a dryer sheet if they are damp to make them smell good, might just dampen the sheet if the dog is dry.

I too have a Lhasa who I bathe more often than my other breeds. Lhasa's have two different layers of fur and they are thick from end to end including the inside of their ears. They are very prone to yeast and other ear infections which give off foul odors. She visits the groomer on regularly and is kept trimmed short. Keeping her eyes and ears clean between grooming will help to eliminate most of their odors.

One of mine developed a smell the female I took her to the vet and she had a fungus growing in her ear. He gave me a rinse solution 1 part alcohol to 1 part vinegar to 1 part hydrogen peroxide. It helps clean out the ears. You do it daily until she is better then just weekly. I have to irrigate my females ears with the sprayer also. No problem with my male. Lhaso's also infamously have eye discharge. It is important to wash them frequently.

Also my breeder told me to use glass drinking bowls for them. For some reason this cuts down on the eye stains. My daughter uses baby wipes on them after they eat because of their hair, the food can smell. They require a weekly bath anyway because of their fur. I have raised them for years. They are very loving sweet dogs, but they are also a lot of work,but well worth it. My little princess is also a Lhasa Apso. When I discovered a funky smell it turned out to be an ear infection. I definitely agree with the people who said the vet should be the first stop in figuring out why your dog stinks.

If it is something like an ear infection it is very important to have it taken care of right away. Just don't forget that it could be something serious and get your sweetie to the vet!

I have a lab. I think they just get smelly as they age. Here are two things I do that help. I brush her a lot.

I don't pour fabric softener on her, as someone mentioned. I'd be afraid of how irritating that could be to her skin. But I do launder her bedding regularly and use scented fabric softener sheets. It rubs of on her and she smells quite lovely for a couple of days. If teeth, ears, or impacted anal glands aren't the problem, she may just be musky, and the following might work for you. I have a Jack Russell who is musky and also in the lovely habit of consistently finding something absolutely horrid dead, rancid, etc to roll in.

Baths were pretty much a waste of time until I started using dish soap for sensitive skin and adding a splash of white vinegar. I usually "rinse and repeat," and though I can't smell the vinegar when she is done, the acidic quality seems to cut, not mask, the foul order. This is probably the secret behind using a douche, as well, but is less expensive. You can add a spoonful of baking soda if that still isn't at least giving you some relief.

I also cover my dog's pillow with a plastic bag and then put a washable cover over that, so her general scent doesn't permeate into the stuffing and re-contaminate her. The reason for smelly dog syndrome is simple. Commercial bagged dry dog foods. The carbohydrate content, the additives and preservatives, the colors and fillers aren't made for a canines carnivorous digestive system. Even the really good brands have as the main ingredient, grains. Chicken, fish, pork, beef, whatever you can get a hold of.

I tried it and it simply works. Plus it rids the animal of most rashes and allergies. Google "the RAW diet for canines", "Raw meaty bones" and take it from the people who know. Did you know that Vets rarely get good education at Vet school about canine diet? Did you know that most Vets are trained, at school, by reps from the dog food companies? Something to think about. I adopted my Lhasa Hootie, with the stinky bootie, lovingly nick named at my house from distant relatives after his mommy passed from breast cancer and her husband couldn't stand the constant smell and grooming this little guy requires.

The statement was made if no one wanted him, he would put him to sleep. Hootie is called a clean freak as he licks all the time and stays stinky. Even hours after a bath, the smell is quick to return. He has no ear issues and a healthy coat so my search for a cure goes on. I plan to try some of the remedy ideas I have read here tonight. My tip is for the "zero" odor spray. I feel it does a pretty good job of removing odor from the doggie beds but must be repeated more often then I would have expected.

My husband had an English Bulldog that was allergic to the carpet, and had to have steroid treatment. I would try a food change for bowels, but gradual of course. Maybe switch to canned Tyrell's is a great all natural food, and helped clear up my dog's dryness just needed extra oils. In the meantime for scent and itchiness, maybe try some Tea Tree oil, Tbls mixed with 8 oz water, and spray on to deodorize and help soothe skin.

A giant furry creature bit you and there's poison in your veins. Warmth provide a blanket, hot bottle, hand or heat lamp , food preferable hand fed solution as to not waste valuable energy on physically obtaining food or to curb some steps of digestion , water find a way to hydrate your mouse , and for the emotional side I know, it sounds super ridiculous, but rodents are social creatures who form strong bonds between family.

They may need someone to come in contact with them, and it's clear they're away from everyone and everything they love. Pet her head, talk to him, but not when you're sick them being highly susceptible to any diseases you may carry. But yeah, to reiterate, you did a pretty good job of keeping your mouse safe and happy for the last few moments of their life, and for that I commend you. My young mice were completely healthy but a few days ago I noticed a few of their eyes were shut for no reason they seemed like they were squinting but unable to open them fully she had a crusty eye, she was really skinny when i got her she was fat , she didn't have an appetite and i re-filled her food bowl everyday, she kept flipping around, and i could feel her spine..

My daughter is so sad and miss her and i don't know why she died My young mice were completely healthy but a few days ago I noticed a few of their eyes were shut for no reason they seemed like they were squinting but unable to open them fully. I don't know whats wrong. My mouse is tired seeming, he shakes, he wont respond to me in anyway. Usually when I pick him up he runs up my arm and hides in my hair now he balls up and stays still. I am worried for him and will accept any help I can get.

This morning, i checked on my mouse and he would not wake up. He was breathing, but his eyes were closed and he would just not move. I came back later and he was acting very active as usual. Running ip and down the tubes and running on his wheel. He was eating fine and drinking water. But I noticed that he was a lot rounder than usual.

He looked kinda bloated. His hunchyness even made him walk a little funny. What could his problem be? For the past few days my mouse clover has just been sitting on her hind legs in the corner. It's super weird and I have no clue what to do I have noticed that my mouse has a very red ear and now fur around her ear is red and I saw a little bit of blood on the bedding.

My mouse Lucy is pregnant and I have been finding a clear goo around the cage , when I saw it I right away cleaned the cage but I am worried of what it means. My mouse shedevil Is very energetic always on the wheel usually she is scared of me and runs away but I came into the room I keep them in and she is on top of the foodbowl with her eyes shut and so I go to grab her all that happens is she opened her eyes no running or anything I would lay her back down she wouldnt move just close her eyes she won't eat drink or exercise anymore and I'm scared she is dying.

Hi my mouse is sleeping on her side. Should I roll her back onto her tummy. Please reply soon thx. It's nice that you tried to save that mouse. I'm not a mouse expert but have started working with them a few weeks ago and I think the mouse you tried to save had been injured by the cat green marks may have been a bruise.

It would've used its legs and been more mobile if it's limbs were not injured. I have a question for people out there though. A mouse was injected with a drug through IV and it kept licking it's tail afterwards many times during the hour post-injection , is that common? I have one mouse. The other died after about 4 days of refusing to leave her sleeping place and continually burying herself, and the surviving mouse appears to be doing the same.

I have no way to access a vet within a year. Do I just let my only mouse die? My little mouse has stopped using her back legs and she dragged them her skin is almost like peeling off what can I do for this baby? Warming her bedding with hot hands, could this be the problem? My other muse ariel looks like she's getting all the nutrient she's super fat. One of our cats caught a wild mouse, and just played with it until we could get it away.

It was in shock though with an extremely weak pulse. Gradually, in the warmth of my hand, it came to, and we gave it some bedding with some food and water that was safe and warm. That evening breathing was heavy and it had no use of it's hind legs, but moved around with it's front. The next day it was much more relaxed, and it started to eat at least pieces of raw sunflower seed and drink water. It was more relaxed with us. The next day it seemed content, it's eyes pressed together with what looked like a content look with I gently stroked it to dry it since it got water on it and it was starting to regain movement of it's hind legs.

It was testing them, stretching them, and able to rest on them. Wasn't really using them yet though, That night I checked on it and made sure it drank water. It's eyes were closed, and it was in the position it would usually sleep in so it went in it's sleep. It's body was stiff and there was a slight green on it's belly fur. It seemed to be making a steady recovery, then just died. Is there anything I could have done differently? Hey my mouse is about 3 years old now and she had a sister who died about 6 months ago but she has been doing fine ever since but these past few days she hasn't eaten and is sleeping all day occasionally getting up she barley drinks and only nibbles a bit of her treat and then goes back to sleep I can also hear a sneezing noise that is constant anyone one now how to help or what this is and if it is treatable?

I've seen a vet for my mouse, who keeps scratching very badly, and he says it's not mites. She has all symptoms of mites, but then also too of allergy, as there is apparently some overlap. So worried for her. Her cagemates are all seemingly fine, which may suggest that it's not mites. I've heard that too much protein in the diet could be the cause, so I'm working on reducing this now. I have a white mouse which is just 1 month old. He used to be healthy, active and fat but from yesterday he is not eating anything and taking breath from his mouth. Now he is totally skinny.

Would you please tell me what can i do for him before I take him to vet? I have a mouse 1. My mouse is almost a year old. When we got her she was the fattest and biggest of the group of four. She has been acting really strange, she can't seem to hold up her head, she can't walk correctly and she has gotten skinnier every day.

I can feel her spine and hip bones. I haven't felt for lumps but there is nothing prominently wrong with her. I just want to help her.

If she is suffering and there is nothing we can do j don't want her in pain. Hi i have a house mouse and i believe he is sick. He barely eats, he wont drink, hes always sleeping, and his poop is orange. Does anyone know wat type of sick ness this is? Hello can any one help one of my mice has gone skinny and she has got white dots on her eyes she used to be the fatter one of the two and the other mouse we seen a cut on her left side yesterday it doesn't seem wet but on her right lower side she has a hard lump please help they are both nearly 3 years old. Berry has been fine. But rose seems to have grown something large,the size of a kidney bean under her tail.

I will be taking her to a vet very soon. Could you possibly let me know what it is? Our pet mouse seems to be very inactive. He looks a bit more rounder in his belly and midsection, but you can feel his spine very prominently. He hasn't been running on his wheel as often as he used to, and he tends to sleep more than he used to.

His eyes aren't as sparkling anymore; and he tends to squinch them instead of having them wide open. His breathing also seems a bit more heavy as his whole body moves every time he does. Any ideas as to what could be wrong. He's also about I'm making an educated guess two years of age. We used to have two mice, but the other one died of a severe brain infection. Given that they were brothers, I was wondering if perhaps it could be a genetic ailment. I have a white hopper mouse and recently her fur has been becoming blackish is that normal?

I brought a 5 week old mouse today and she has been sneezing and peed a pinkish-red colour, what is wrong with her?? My mouse, Snickerdoodle, is not acting quite right. After his fellow mouse died, Oreo, he hasn't been looking too good. He is missing patches of fur near his shoulders, discharge from his eyes, shaky walking, lethargic behavior, his eyes have also changed color, and I think his poop has lightened.

I have not taken him to the vet yet. He also looks a little bloated in the stomach area. I really need help. Should I just put him down?
