I just use a leash/downchain to attach them somewhere I have done it this way for almost 40 years ..and never had any hassles :)

if she is happy in the car - yes :)

..just wondering if a sign will encourage folks to 'have a peep ' , and see why .....?

problem is , dog will be somewhere strange, noisy , and not with her people . That alone is a stress- building situation .... without the strange people . Hopefully, should you decide to do this there is a lockable room!! people at a party - someone will try & go in the room - at some stage

eek rock : hard place . my first instinct is to advise you stay home - let partner relax and soak up the good cheer and celebration - make a short video of your love & support they can play at the event , kick back & enjoy not having to panic about Bonnie . .....it would be a disaster if 'something' occurred during the drive/event -

second Contacting K9pro clickHERE there is also a thread which might help until you get professional aid - clickHERE

is that chart for adults or pups ?

hey persephone I think an incorrect link for that thread was posted. ACK - OK - check the first post again in a second :)

i find it can become so very very mathmatical - I suggest you grab a cuppa or three ..and scroll thruTHIS THREAD- everything you ever wanted to know about feeding raw . I aklso suggest you wait a little longer before going fully raw ... pups/dogs CAN eat a mix of dry & raw :) THIS , and THIS have some good points :) good luck

Thoughts flying your way ....

Brilliant work :)

poor little thing .

sheridan .... can she have sub/cut fluids , or a drip?

Thanks, Rappie :) I shall pass it on.

Thank you :) Someone had me concerned as it was said that dogs could pick up parvo hiding in faeces of recently vac'd dogs ....

Ok - discussing vaccinations etc .. does virus shedding occur? or not? using a 'live' vaccine how much virus shedding is there ? is the parvovirus shedding capable of infecting vulnerable/ non vaccinated pups/dogs? I have been given several differing opinions - and am interested in just what does happen ? Thanks.

Breathe, folks This poster is a first-timer ... and is attempting to do things the way they have seen dogs kept - and 'by the book' ( whichever book that is ) It is turning out to be a HUGE learning/realisation curve , they love their new puppy , and WANT the best for him .....their 'research' has let them down ...hopefully D O L will be their safety net .

Very good news :) It is helpful info, but it also depends a LOT on the individual surgeon's work . Glad she is bouncy & happy once more !!

thinking of you & the poor sickie ..

yes- it's a trying time for someone new to it all!

yes- he has white/grey bits! The Elf watches and plots continually ;)

Stressy - there is another thread - and they have posted:)

..and we really really need lab puppy pics ;)

Congrats - and what happy lives ahead for the dogs :D
