Very Embarrasing Question ???
I hope someone out there has experienced this issue (not likely very many, though) and can help, its really embarrasing! I have a 3 year old male mutt and a 3 month (?) old kitten (not exactly sure on her age as a neighbor gave her to me). I think the kitten may have been removed from its mother to early as she sucks on my dog - lately, she has had a habit of sucking his (ahem!) and he's loving it and giving up his juice to her. How can I stop this disgusting habit??? He has been fixed and I think its time to have her fixed, will this stop this action? Each time I catch them, I seperate them and put them up in their rooms (dog stays outside during the day but I've spoiled him and let him inside when I'm home). The two of them get along purfectly, its quite amazing watching them. I just would like to put an end to this awful habit.
Thanks! |

I have had a request to close this thread because it is felt that this is a joke.
Do others feel this is a joke?....before I close the thread at the end of the day...JUST in case.

I think the OP should respond within the next hour to let us know if this is a joke or not. (considering this was their first post - I'm tempted to agree that it is a joke!)

This could very well be true. Puppies and kittens who lose a mom at a early age often nurse on each other - any part they can - and can cause serious damage to tails, ears or reproductive organs doing this.
Orphan litters often have to be separated from each other for this very reason. |

I understand that, my cat nurses on her own foot, but can a neutered male dog ejaculate?
i was under the impression they couldnt Eleni

They shouldn't be able to, they don't have the juice maker. That's what makes me think it is a joke too. I would understand if it was a 3 week old kitten but 3 months?

Actually, the prostate gland produces the fluid, so ejaculation is possible even in neutered dogs.
Neutered dogs can, and do, tie and mate with bitches. They are just firing "blanks." As for 3 month old kittens nursing. I have seen adult kittens still nursing if the mother will allow it. |

Minnow used to try and nurse on my dog's belly fur until she was 5 months old. So it's entirely possible, I'm just not sure if I believe it. But I suppose anything can happen.

Spray some Bitter Apple spray on his ahem. What kind of dog that a kitten this age can actually accomplish this? Small dog I assume? Very very small dog?

If this isn't a joke - I would use a squirt bottle on the kitty every time he tried it. I am also thinking that it would have to be a very small dog for a cat to be able to do this to him.

Seeing as this SEEMS like it is not a joke, this thread will stay open until the mods or I decide it is time to close it.

You can find bitter apple spray or something similar at any pet store.

I would spray the cat with a water bottle before. Bitter apple might deter the dog from cleaning himself too, on top of maybe burning his parts...

You can spray around a sensitive area by holding something in front of it before spraying, or spraying a cloth and wiping the spray onto the area. Or use melaleuca or tea tree oil. Waterguns sometimes work but most people make the mistake of threatening the animal with a spray. You don't want them to know where the spray came from, or they just learn not to do it in front of you - if they think it's divine intervention, they learn not to do it ever. |

re: very embarrasing question
Ok, finally asked a vet today (a co-worker's mother is a vet so I asked her). Like most of you, she said to squirt it with water. She also said since this doesn't seem to work very well, for me to seperate the 2 of them for a couple of weeks to break the cycle. Otherwise, they may do this for years. She said she has heard of this occuring but that it usually only occurs when a cat has been removed from its mother to soon. Thanks for all your suggestions!

This is not necessarily caused by a kitten being taken from mom too soon. I've seen a 7 year old cat still nursing on her indulgent mother (my own mother's cats!) Quote:
