Q. I've read countless times in the news or on animal shows about dogs that have early warning systems for their humans' sickness, or how dogs can detect if a person has a heart condition.
But yesterday I was in bed, probably the sickest I've even been at home, and my dog was always crying when he was around me, and jumping on my bed and just hanging around me. Much more so then any other time too.
So can most dogs detect illnesses with humans?

So can most dogs detect illnesses with humans?
A. Besides for reading our moods there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that dogs can detect cancer. In one study, dogs were found to be able to detect lung, breast and other cancers with an accuracy rate of between 88 and 97 per cent. By contrast, hospital scanners are reckoned to have an accuracy of between only 85 and 90 per cent.
Dogs also seem to have the ability to sense when a person is going to have an epileptic fit. A study conducted in Canada, found that dogs who lived with children prone to epileptic fits behaved oddly before the attacks. Some dogs would lick the child�s face, for instance. Others would act protectively, in one case leading a young girl away from a set of stairs moments before she had an attack. The warnings came as early as five hours in advance.
Health experts are now training �seizure alert� or �seizure response� dogs, some of which can predict fits.
No one has yet explained how the dog does this. While some scientists argue they detect scent or behavioural clues, others think they can pick up on telltale electrical activity in humans.

Are there any other ways to treat car sickness in dogs?
Q. My dog gets severely ill when we go for car rides. She is a Basset Hound, and she is a dry mouthed Basset. That means that she will not drool unless she is very sick or anxious. She doesn't want to go near the car, and when she is in the car she starts to drool excessively before we even start the car. I've tried to give her ginger, but she does not care for the taste. I don't want to give her drugs. Please be serious and no stupid answers. It's not worth your time or mine. Thanks.
A. This may seem really odd, but some dogs get motion sickness because they have a bone in their neck popped out. Find a dog naturopath or someone who is familar with massaging dogs and try it out. Also try to make the car ride as pleasant as possible. Perhaps have a passenger nurse her and make sure she has toys, treats etc.
Why do dog people hate cats so mutch?
Q. i love all animals but i have noticed that most dog people hate cats.

"cats smell"
"cats are dirty"
"cats are evil"
"cats give you diseases"

A. Ive always liked both, and most of my life Ive had both (I dont have cats now, because it is too dangerous for them with all the coyotes around my house).
People tend to stereotype cats. I dont know how many times I have heard that cats dont care about you, theyre aloof, and only come when they want...etc.
Sure not true with the cats Ive had - most of them had personalities like dogs - very affectionate, and would even go for walks with me.

Remedies for morning sickness?
Q. Hey everyone,
Does anyone have any *natural* remedies that will help with morning sickness in dogs?
Would love to hear what other people have used and how it works. Natural remedies are definitely preferred, but any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks everyone. I will definitely try the frequently small meals. She never had any morning sickness during her other pregnancy. Luckily she has not thrown up in my lap!
Just to be clear, I do not necessarily mean that it's in the morning. It actually usually is later in the day.

A. Small frequent meals. I think it keeps the stomach from filling up with stomach acid.
Every blasted pregnant b*tch I've ever had has walked up to me after drinking water with the "I don't feel good" look on their face... and then puked in my lap or on my shoes. Frequent small meals helps.. even if it's just a few kibbles of dog food.
