Good description, purdie :)

rozzie ..no .. but they have BIG mouths and muscles which suffocate /strangle a small animal .....

what size puppy? how far away from you do you want it to be? Formal recall,with a 'heel' or a pup who come belting back to you any old way and screeches to a halt ,smiling and wagging puppies can learn excellent recall at home - in the house/yard without any leash ;) EVERY time you want to pat/feed pup ..call its name - when it comes - it gets praised, and /or rewarded with toy/food EVERY time . EASY :) The thing is - never pat/treat puppy without at least a recall /sit It very soon becomes a good habit :D

..without seeing the injuries - it is very hard .... size/shape/depth/position all help .

..it does sound odd .

..and another suggestion may be to pop her on a long line ...this is how I teach our free range puppies out bush :) collar left on ..then one day..a long line while out in a favourite spot ..then a retractable (original ,STRONG)..then a shorter leash . Lots of recalls each stage ....

large feral cat ? It may have latched on..and goat rushed, perhaps breaking its neck? Large cats here take kid goats ..one I rescued had been grabbed from a cat who had it by the shoulders !

Firstly - your dogs will need to have a blood test BEFORE starting a heartworm preventative - as it can be very dangerous if worms are present in teh heart, and medication kills them . I cannot help with best tick prevention , or much else , sorry. If you stop at truckstops along the way - the dogs should not have any problem with fleas etc :) Hope the vet records go with you as well- happy moving!

This widget is about 6 or so now ... :)

..ahh .. being what she is - I guess the heat would have much more effect Hope all goes well.

Oh.... I'll change it a bit ..I wanted to get a wide exposure ....

Tradition is a marvellous thing ........................................... in some cases.

Must admit having never used any form of glucose - pre or post whelping . maybe a teaspoonful during a slow whelping - so I cannot advise. Is this a first litter? How old is she ? Is she normally kept fit & trim? Is this a really unusual behaviour? I'm afraid I would be walking her very early in the morning , when it's cool , so she has some muscle tone /circulation to help when she whelps ..she perhaps may even need to shed some fat? Just suggestions, obviously ..I have no idea of what she is like.

poor little thing - Sounds like a lot of work ahead! Keep us posted.

Oh yes, I remember .

Not sure ..she may even be having some sort of seizure activity ..or need a checkup with an eye to spey incontinence? Ask the vet next time :)

:) I think she and you were meant to be introduced at this time .... KISMET (destiny,fortune/fate) No judgement here - you do what you need to be well and safe - and to ensure the same for those around you.

definitely , H W !!! :)

..oh ..and I am not making excuses- rather explaining perhaps why this is happening ...
