sickness or motion sickness; however, true motion sickness is a result of an inner ear problem. Some dogs truly do
have motion sickness, and for these animals products such as Dramamine can be used under the supervision of a
veterinarian. For most dogs, however, the sickness is strictly an over-reaction to the fear and apprehension of the
car noise, motion, etc. If your dog would rather be anywhere besides in the car, here is how you can help her
overcome the fear of car rides.

Get your dog used to the car environment. Get in the car together and have a treat. Talk. Be happy. Make it a fun
time. Do not have the car running, just share a treat and make it a positive experience. Repeat this a number of
times on different occasions. You may want to feed your dog in the car. If your dog is afraid of even getting into the
car, try feeding or giving a treat close to the car.

Get your dog used to the car while it is running. Repeat step one, only this time start the car. Give a treat before
and after. If she looks or acts nervous, reassure her that everything is OK. Take your time and make sure she is
relaxed before ending the session.

Get your dog used to the motion of the moving car. Once she is used to the car running without any fearful
reaction, back the car to the end of the driveway, then forward again to the garage. Give her a treat and praise her.
Repetition is the key. The more you do this the more confident your dog becomes that cars are no problem. In fact,
to her it becomes a great place for attention, praise, and even treats.

Now it is time to take a short trip around the block. Treats and praise before and after, and calm, reassuring talk
throughout the ride are a pre-requisite. Gradually increase the distance traveled until your dog is calm no matter
how long she's in the car.

Some animals still need something to calm them. There are non-prescription products such as Serene-um, Pet
Calm, and Rescue Remedy. In severe cases, even stronger prescription anti-anxiety medications can be dispensed
by your veterinarian.

Get puppies used to the car while they are still young and are more receptive to new adventures. Dogs make
excellent traveling companions so it is well worth the training now for the years of enjoyment it will bring both of you
once you get over this obstacle together.

Hypoglycemia simply means a low blood sugar. Glucose is the form of sugar found within
liver in a storage form called glycogen. Most instances of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in the
What are the symptoms?

A puppy with hypoglycemia will lack energy. Glucose (sugar) is the fuel the body burns for
energy; without it the puppy is listless. In severe instances, the puppy may even seizure, since
glucose is necessary for the brain tissue and muscles to function. These hypoglycemic episodes
will cause the puppy to fall over and appear weak or comatose.

What are the risks?

The risks depend on the severity or extent of the lack of blood sugar. If it is due to lack of food or
excessive exercise it can be easily corrected. If however, the underlying cause is more serious,
such as liver disease preventing the storage of glucose as glycogen, or intestinal disease
preventing the proper digestion and/or absorption of food, then hypoglycemia may be chronic
and life threatening.

What is the management?

If a puppy is listless due to low blood sugar, it is imperative to immediately provide sugar. Karo
syrup and honey are excellent sugar sources and should be fed to the puppy. If the puppy fails
to respond to sugar, or the hypoglycemic episodes are frequent, then a thorough exam by a
veterinarian is in order. It must be determined if the low blood sugar is simply the result of
inadequate nutrition or a more severe underlying disease.

hormone testosterone, which is produced within the testicle. That is the major reason
problems of the intact male, since it does not affect testosterone production or its
distribution throughout the rest of the dog's body.

Behavioral advantages of neutering

Decreased Aggression: One of the most important behavioral advantages of
castration is that as adults, these dogs will tend to be less aggressive both toward
other male dogs and also people. The androgen (male) hormones, of which
testosterone is the most important, are responsible for the development of many
behavioral patterns. When young puppies are sexually mounting their 7 and 8-week
old litter mates this is because of androgen surges in their bodies. The same is true
with aggressive behavior. Some medications that have androgenic hormonal activity
often cause increased aggression (an example would be the birth control medication,
Cheque Drops, which contains one of these androgen-type chemicals). The degree
castration has on suppressing aggression varies between animals and the age at
which it is done. Its effect is greatest if it is done before one year of age.

Decreased Roaming: A second behavioral advantage of neutering is that these dogs
will not 'roam' when they sense a female in heat. Male dogs can sense females in
heat through pheromones. These are airborne chemical attractants that are
liberated from the female when she is cycling. They travel through the air for great
distances. We grew up on a farm where the next closest house was over a mile
away, but when one of our female dogs was in heat, the males would come for miles
from upwind, downwind, and crosswind. Pheromones are, to say the least, very
effective stimuli. In the seventies, it was briefly popular to do vasectomies on dogs
thinking that we would not be taking the 'joy of sex' away from our canine
counterparts. The problem with this reasoning was that many of us keep our dogs
restricted in our homes, a kennel, or on a chain. Now think of the psychological
stress the vasectomized male is under when he is locked up, but yet smells that
female in heat four blocks away. There is no joy of sex, as he is trapped on your
property unable to go and mate with her. He is, in effect, teased continuously for
three to fourteen days while the female is in estrus and he is unable to mate with her.
If dogs are neutered at an early age, they will not sense or respond to pheromones,
and would certainly be less stressed and tend to stay home.

Increased Concentration: A third behavioral advantage occurs when you are training
or working your dog, or using him for field work. If neutered, he will be a much better
student with a much longer attention span when there are females nearby that are in
heat. This is because he will not be constantly distracted by pheromonal stimuli.

Medical advantages

There are numerous behavioral and medical benefits to neutering your dog.

The medical advantages are numerous and even more significant. Again, all are
caused by the effects of testosterone on the body or are physical problems that
arise within the testicles themselves. Here again, a vasectomy would not serve any
real or meaningful purpose.

No Testicular Tumors: There are several different tumor types, both benign and
malignant, that arise within the testicles. As with most cancers, these usually are not
noted until the animal reaches 5 or more years of age. Therefore, these would not
be a problem in those individuals castrated at the recommended age.

Improved Genetics: We all agree that a male carrying a harmful genetic trait like hip
dysplasia or epilepsy should be neutered. We must do all that is possible to prevent
the spread or continuation of these conditions and others like them.

Fewer Hernias: A hernia is a protrusion of an organ or parts of an organ or other
structure through the wall of a cavity that normally contains it. Perianal hernias occur
when the colon, urinary bladder, prostate, or fat protrude from the abdominal cavity,
through the muscular wall by the anus and then lie just under the skin. This type of
hernia is far more common in older, unneutered male dogs. The levels of
testosterone and other hormones appear to relax or weaken the group of muscles
near the anus. When the animal then strains to defecate or urinate, the weakened
muscles break down and the abdominal organs and fat bulge out under the skin. In
shorthaired breeds, this large bulge is noted by the owner almost immediately, but in
the longhaired dogs, the problem may go on for months before anyone realizes
there is an abnormality. Left untreated, these organs may become damaged, unable
to function or even die from loss of blood supply. Additionally, because of the
displacement of organs into this area, the animal may not be able to defecate or
urinate correctly or completely and may become constipated or have urinary
incontinence (dribble urine). The surgery to repair this condition is not simple and
today can easily cost $700 to $1500 or more, depending on the severity.

Fewer Perianal Tumors: There are tumors whose growth is stimulated by
testosterone. These occur near the anus and are called perianal adenomas (benign)
or perianal adenocarcinomas (malignant). As with the hernias, these usually do not
occur until the dog is at least 7-years old. They require surgical treatment and
should be caught early in their development to prevent recurrence. These tumors
and the above hernia are very, very rare in those individuals castrated at 7 to
8-months of age.

Fewer Prostate Problems: The most common medical problems eliminated in dogs
neutered at an early age are those involving the prostate. Over 80% of all
unneutered male dogs develop prostate disease. Prostate conditions such as benign
enlargement, cysts, and infection are all related to the presence of testosterone.

Early neutering

In the United States, most dogs are neutered between 5 and 8 months of age. Many
humane shelters and veterinarians are starting to neuter male animals at a younger
age, even 6-14 weeks of age. This early neutering does not affect the growth rate,
and there are no appreciable differences in skeletal, physical, or behavioral
development between those animals neutered early than those neutered at a more
traditional age. It must be remembered that younger animals may need different
anesthetics and are more prone to hypothermia (lower than normal body
temperature) during surgery. As long as procedures are modified to account for
these differences, early neutering is very safe. In fact, animals neutered at a
younger age often have faster recoveries than those neutered when they are older.

In the United States, most dogs are spayed between 5 and 8 months of age. Many humane shelters and In the
United States, most dogs are spayed between 5 and 8 months of age. Many humane shelters and In the United
States, most dogs are spayed between 5 and 8 months of age. Many humane shelters and veterinarians are
starting to spay female animals at a younger age, even at 2 months. This early spaying does veterinarians are
starting to spay female animals at a younger age, even at 2 months. This early spaying does not affect the growth
rate, and there are no appreciable differences in skeletal, physical, or behavioral development between those
animals spayed early than those spayed at a more traditional age. It must be remembered that younger animals
may need different anesthetics and are more prone to hypothermia (lower than normal body temperature) during
surgery. As long as procedures are modified to account for these differences, early neutering is very safe. In fact,
animals spayed at a younger age often have faster recoveries than those spayed when they are older..

way to ensure that this occurs is through sterilization procedures, so a larger percentage of dogs and cats are
decreasing the number of puppies and kittens. Being veterinarians, we also know that spaying and castrating you
may spay your animals in an effort to help control a national problem, in doing so, you increase their chances of
living long healthy lives.

Having a litter of puppies may seem like a fun thing to do. Some even believe that it helps their female dog, in
litter of puppies in no way alters the maturity level of the dog, either physically or mentally. In most cases, people
find out that it is hard to find good homes for all of the puppies, regardless of the selling price. In addition, not all
pregnancies go smoothly. Difficult labor, puppy mortality, and potential health problems in the mother, such as
uterine and mammary gland infections, can take all the fun out of the experience. Most of the clients we have
worked with end up wishing they would never have allowed their female to have a litter
