and does it depend on size?
A. This is not the place to research and I refuse to help another BYB!!!
To the person (five answers above mine) if you were an ethical breeder that cared at all about your dogs you would wait until the dog was at least mature before you bred!!!

When does the Human species get to the point of genetic mutation?
Q. What I mean here is will our DNA eventually get stretched to thin? like over bread dog breads?
Thank you. Yes that helped. I was just curious!

A. I'm not too sure what you mean by our DNA getting stretched too thin. But regarding the question on genetic mutations, there are genetic mutations in human genes all the time. Most of it gets fixed right away, or when something goes wrong it could lead to cancer. But I think what you're asking about is our DNA adapting and our physical selves changing like in evolution. It takes millions and millions of years for a genetic mutation to be advantageous. Basically if a mutation is worthwhile our bodies will keep it, if not we'll probably die. It's kind of like survival of the fittest. We've only gotten here because our genes have been able to mutate and adapt. The species that are unable to adapt go extinct. Hope this helps!
How can I find out if my cats will get along with a new dog?
Q. I am in the process of getting a dog. However, we already have 2 (indoor) cats one young and one old.
I am afraid that a new dog might beat up my old cat?
How do I find out if the new dog will get along with my existing cats or not? I want them to be one big happy family. Is there a way to test this? Are certain breads of dogs more likely to get along with cats than others?

A. If the dog is a pup, I'd be more concerned with the Pup's safety than I would the cat's. TRUST ME, cats can handle themselves around ANY dog. I've had great big Huskies bow down to little ol ally cats, either because the Cat could hiss and scratch loud enough, OR because a cat can SCAT in a hurry if need be. Introduce them, see what happens. That's all you can do. If they grow up together, they'll be friends. It's obviously better if the cat is older and the dog is younger. But there's ALWAYS a chance they'll go their seperate(natural) ways in the long run. They only know what you teach them though too. Just try it....
Is it common to neuter a dog by going through his shaft, instead of at the base? He is in pain 3 days later?
Q. constantly jumping and running away from the pain. He isn't resting, and wants to be where it's cold, the basement, the dog box outside, or laying in the snow. Our house is cool, but he pants, which is unusual, so I suspect a fever. I have ensured that he eats by giving him warm broth over bread or dog food.
A. lol...I have to laugh simply because that IS the way most dogs are neutered. I've been working in a vet clinic for over 10 years and of the hundreds of neuters I've monitored anesthesia for, I've yet to see it done another way, with the exception of a dog that is cryptorchid (balls didn't drop) so the incision is made lateral to the shaft. there are rare cases of scrotal incisions.. but like I said, very rare.
He should have been sent home with pain medication.. if not call the vet tomorrow and ask for some. Until then keep him crated, because running around jumping can cause him to bust his stitches open, which isn't fun for anyone.
