We had a surprise visit from friends on their little houseboat . they fed us - and welcomed the two pups with a bowl full of doggy food - and a spot on the couch ;) Whilst they adored Molly - she wouldn't go near them All we heard during the evening was how gorgeous she was ... LOL . hopefully at some stage, she'll decide that other humans love her as well ...

I am having an enforced holiday from one pet group ... * sigh* hopefully I did educate some along the way ...especially the ones with 'pure breads' and lots of puppies at exorbitant prices .

put them onto Mark Singer's FB page ! lots of info - and snippets such as this one

Maybe tell the partner that when bulls/rams get obnoxious they are castrated . Wishing you the best of everything for your girl -

ohhhh- what very lucky babies :)

yes!! I was of that opinion :)

maybe your dad fed his bitches more - they probably had pups ..and stored food away? there is usually some truth in every tale /proverb /observation :)

I have never noticed any difference in the burying rate of the sexes. here it IS however , noticeable with individuals. Some bury with a few nosefuls of dirt /blanket /sticks , some guard fiercely without burying , some excavate and make a cellar room !

Well - he's clearly a poo head. With bad eyes. :)

..and I am hoping to read a positive update post soon ...

does this help ? most/all baby puppies have floppy ears for the first few weeks ..

Pups' ears do change, the same as the rest of their body :) .. he is nowhere near teething yet - that's a few months away . I presume you have spoken with his breeder about your concern ?

powerlegs . Excellent post .

he, he, he ... Room to move!

Latoya - hope the news is better this morning .

...see 3rd link, e.g. 'Supportive Therapie' ....and the stats include open pyometra too. Pleaae start another thread to discuss this. The OP is looking for immediate support and advice. Yes. The poor owner is distraught and is just asking for some support , some empathy , and some hope - .

:)

Unless he is urinating a LOT and very often .. I wouldn't panic . he is young, very active,and on dry food . he also has a decent coat , so would be warm . yes, by all means ask the vet - but NEVER restrict water unless it is to benefit a diagnosed condition . :)

Sounds dreadful - soo sorry > ours had open pyo , and recovered very well , so I cannot offer much insight. hope all goes well for your girl .

Congrats ! :)
