Loving my Oldies

Hasn't been one since then Danny is now down to 5kg and I just don't know what to do. I'll have to go back to syringing, because even when I get all excited thinking I've cracked it, he will stop eating the new food after a couple of meals. He'll come racing into the kitchen, look up at me with a glowing face, so I'll give him something, he'll sniff at it, walk around it, and then look up at me as though I am the worst person in the world for not understanding what he wants. Whatever, I put down gets the same reaction. I timed him yesterday when I tried him with a meal of Nature's Gift Groumet. He picked up a piece dropped it on the floor, circled the bowl, sniffed the piece on the floor and picked up another piece and followed the same procedure. He sniffed at the bowl without taking anything out of it for five minutes. Honestly. I turned the stopwatch of my phone on. I also videoed it, but don't know how to put a video up here.

And where is Mr Accidental going to sleep

I wouldn't like cleaning up after it. :laugh: Owner needs to check on the food being fed

Brilliant, VizslaMomma. I am not one for "uplighting quotations" but I do like that.

Lol, that is a bit like, "How long is a piece of string?" Very breed specific too, from all the stories I'Ve read on DOL over the years. :laugh:

If that's spam why does every one complain about it :laugh: :laugh: Poppy has exquisite colouring, love the ones of her on the beach. Dogs are like little children when playing: I'll chase you and then you'll chase me.

Another one thought Goose was a goose .... until I reached the part where he growled :laugh: :laugh: Poor little Boo. She looks a huge personality in a little body.

What a very sad situation for you Amby. You have been loving, kind and brave. Zeus

Photos all great, CC. Poppy and Charlie look to be very fond of each other.

Me too DiscoDobe.

How upsetting, K. Have you talked to Marcus? He might have some advice or ideas.

I guess there are only so many things to discuss about dogs - most "action" is in Off Topic which I suppose relates to FaceBook and other social media. I've said it before, but I believe DOL is divided into too many sub forums. A lot of good advice and interesting topics are missed. It took me years to discover the "View New Content" button

It works both ways, Yonjuro. You are a pretty terrific owner as well. BTW. Lock up your daughter - she is very lovely :laugh: :thumbsup:

Same here. I don't know how I'd manage if someone else was around, because I am pedantic to the nth degree about doors and gates which are always the biggest issue for me in terms of their safety.

Thanks a bunch, tikira. Now that will be in my head for days. On the other hand: Jingo is gorgeous and so talented :thumbsup:

I can't recommend anyone as I'm not in Brisbane, but agree that you need to act early. My only experience is rescuing an elderly tiny little L/H chi several years ago and she had inguinal hernias on both sides - one the size of tennis ball She was too old and hernias to big to do anything about, but she didn't seem to be inconvienced by them. The fear was always that organs would become twisted. Good luck. ETA: Anvet at Kedron Park always gets rave reviews.

Good luck.

Someone giving out love like that will surely get lots back in return. :thumbsup:

Oh, I do remember that, Mita. Too gorgeous.

Sent to me in an email.

Creams can be breeding grounds for bugs and these sorts of wounds are best kept clean and open with a drying lotion applied.

Hey Stella ! Aren't you just gorgeous

1978 is light years away from today in terms of the treatment and understanding and recognition of companion animals. And no social media around then for a melt-down to happen.

Good luck with the continued healing. Stella has a great mum

Wow!! What a wonderful family. But they are right. Not a situation that can go on. Thanks for that further explanation, Sunny08 :). Having little old dogs myself, the situation did concern me. .
