As a rule , front dews should be left . I do believe though (from past experiences) if a household /facility with elderly people get a dog - removing front dews is a step forward in reducing injuries to fragile skin.

found it!! LINK

There was a really good thread about this a while ago - to do with conformation .. running ...all sorts of stuff . Do a search on dew Claw Removal or similar, see what you can find :)

I DO hope you have something in writing expressing your concern about fights, and them agreeing to keep them secure .... Best of luck , and hopefully you are not forced to pay the vet bill .

yes. 02Dogs - are the dogs so hard to contain at home ?

I hope the kennel paid the bill if your instructions were written down and explained ! if dogs can break into other areas, that kennel needs some better fencing, I think.

I have tried some things in the past - they don't really work .

Rocky's roundabout!

:) get a nice squishy silicon tray from the $2 shop!

it's great she vomited a lot of it up! guess it will depend on how much the dog ate, the chemicals involved.. as to what vit.K dose the vet uses? this might be useful ... LINK it shows commonly used chemicals in rat bait - and the toxicity levels . We have recently changed to one of the 'safer' baits ... and I usually put pelletised bait in soft drink bottles or little lockable bait stations from a $2 shop .. tucked away behind furniture, etc. Hope your little dog shows no ill effects now :)

I would feed twice , and use a slow-down bowl, like this sort of thing ....

:D

my vet used to hate doing this op ..and dogs coming back for post-op checks quite often had problems with toileting etc ....

Good Post, C&R. Anal gland removal is a nasty op ..very painful , and messy ....I hope you find the right vet . ( I am guessing you have made all the dietary changes ...talked with the breeder, to se if they know of suitable treatment/vets . ) is your dog a happy and friendly and relaxed dog? it is most unusual for dogs to knowingly spray people .... or is this happening when dog is being handled ..just leaking out ? .Sounds very uncomfortable .

11 weeks? anyhow - Spiderman was a tad concerned earlier.....

It is usually a flea. It may also be low grade hip pain- or it may just feel amazingly gooood ???? Doing it constantly suggests a habit/obsession if vet checks are all clear.

look at those amazing eyes :) :)

I would also think blockage ...did he have barium, or whatever it is that is used these days ..or just an xray ? some things do not show on Xrays - plastic/some leaves..stuff like that . What a worry . I hope he's fixed soon , poor boy.

I will suggest then that you purchase some ADAPTIL products to use with her - she may be more comfortable ....

ADVANTAGE 'spot on' can be directly used on baby pups - do NOT rely on guess work - phone the manufacturers they will guide you as to how much, etc . if they pups are still with Mum - use the advantage on her ..and the pups will get some on them as well. Also completely change bedding/fleabomb the area (keeping all dogs away for 24 hrs)

:)

Awww - that looks one cheeky puppy ;)

ohhh - the mental images ! poor old girl - happy and tripping is ok :)
