My dog, Theo, a chihuahua mix, sometimes yelps, pinches his shoulder towards his head/neck, and walks wobbly on three legs. The issue seems to go away when we massage the paw he was not walking on.

Is there a device (whistle, electronic, etc) that a dog owner can use to deter bad dog behavior? I have a 9-month old Doberman (70 lbs), who doesn't sit, jumps up on me, doesn't respond to 'no', chews everything, tips his food & water bowls over when he can't have his way, pulls on his leash making it impossible for me to walk him, and is destructive in the backyard. What can I do to address these issues?

My dog Sky, a Yorki/Shih-tux mix, is 6 years old and pregnant. Her due date was yesterday, and she has been panting heavily since late evening. Her temperature dropped to 97.9 and is now 98.6. She has not shown any pushing or contractions, just heavy panting, restlessness, and nesting. Should she have given birth by now, and what should I be looking out for?

My dog ate a part of a moisture pack from a prepared food container. The dog weighs about 23 pounds and has not vomited since eating the pack about an hour ago. The pack had black plastic on the bottom and a cotton-like filling. What should I do to help my dog and avoid potential obstruction?
