Jeff D asked:


I am thinking of making a Koi pond in my backyard but want to get some input first. What do you need to do for Koi fish in the winter?

I live in a area that can get to be as low as around 5 F but is usually mid 20s F. Medium snowfall. Woodsy area so there are animals. In the summer it is usually around 70s or 80s F. Thanks a lot.

I am looking at purchasing a dog and these are the two I’m debating on. I have two young children and we go to the beach a lot. We need a social dog that’s good with people and other dogs. I also don’t want a stubborn dog or a cry baby when I leave it for a bit. Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks

I want to believe asked:


What can I do to stop the convulsions until the lab results came back on Tuesday, we are testing her insulin to see if she has an insulinoma. My vet told me to give her a little sugar every six hours, an other vet told me to give her lots of sugar every now and then. The first vet is afraid that if she raises her level of glucose, the insulin will raise too… So what should I do???? This last week she haven’t had any seizures, but tomorrow morninng she had one. We used to give her Diazepam while she was seizuring, but now the vets tell me that if she is hipoglusemic, the Diazepam will do no goo. Nevertheless she is taking Phenobarbital, until we are completely sure that her seizures are because of the low sugar in her blood.
So if she was your dog what would you do to help her. And please don’t tell me to ask my vet, because I’ve done that, thousands of times, they don’t seem to come up with an answer, and they are the bests of the city. I live in Argentina, so sorry if my english is not that clear. Thanks for your help!!!!

I forgot to tell you that she’s eleven years old, and is a Vizsla.
We never leave her alone now because we’re afraid she would have a seizure. It started last february, but the convulsiones were very few, three in 9 months, but everything went back in December, she seizured a lot, so we started with the Phenobarbital. I did some blood tests (we did test her blood the first time she had the seizure) because I saw her kind of depressed, and her glucose was even lower. Now we’re trying to find out how to stop that.
Thanks for your answers, I do think she’s a happy dog, I treat her like a princess, we even spoiled her too much. Whenever she has the seizures, my whole family suffers a lot, the only confort I have is that she doesn’t feel pain, because she’s unconscious. But right now she seems like a happy dog, I mean, she has a normal life for an old dog, so that’s why I’m trying so hard to find a way to control the convulsions, and not simple give up on her.

David G asked:


I have a 6 year old Hungarian Vizsla who I am thinking of having castrated. The reason for this is he keeps mounting my spayed ***** and annoying her. He is also a little aggressive on the lead when he sees another dog and can run off in the field to chase other dogs. He won’t come back when called when he is in this mood. Has anyone else had any experience with this, or any advice?

Thanks

My pond is roughly 200 gallons and I have 1 koi and 5 goldfish. I am running a 600 gph pump with a bio filter. Will my pond support more fish or do I have enough?
