Skimming is not searching. Really ..another vet might be best - write down what he has been like, and what teh other vet prescribed ...and they will look at it with new eyes , maybe seeing something different, or seeing a better way of diagnosing .

well, yes..so do I!!! It hurts It will hurt for a while .. unless his foot shows signs of swelling .. Don't worry too much :) Give him something absolutely delicious ..go for a car`ride .. just to help make him feel better ...

I don't know a lot about tick poisoning either .. I hope tomorrow you do get some answers . It sounds a bit odd.

Agree with donatella - shaving is the very least of this little guy's worries :) Hope the vet can make a diagnosis soon, and get pup back to being happy again .

What a worry for you Please take the pup to another vet if you can ... a tiny baby like that can get dehydrated and go downhill really fast .. it may not even be a tick problem. Ticks can hide in ears/lips , anywhere, and if it fed well, it could have dropped off . Can puppy walk? Did the vet give anti serum for tick poisoning? What was the oral medicine? Did the vet recommend you use the advantix on a sick puppy?

Good news, thanks from me !

Possum this morning .

:) :)

. Oh ? I hadn't heard that one ... do you have a link to the info? makes me wonder now. I have had dogs treated with Vit C per injection, and orally , and the vets never mentioned then giving vit. C for life..... I use it a lot here - for itchy dogs, infections.... it would be good to know if this is true! *paging Rappie*.....

How is she today?

Glad he's feeling happier today . Hopefully the blood tests results will give you an answer ! I would suggest he not get chicken necks ..they are just the size/shape to get stuck in an oesophagus or gut ..and , if so, may cause him to feel just awful, aswell as being dangerous. May I also suggest he gets some other meats , like organ meat ..or lamb flaps .. plus sardines & eggs .. to help provide other nutrients , and maybe some extra fat to help with his weight ?

He is beautiful....so I put the pic here for you from that link :) :)

What a worry. if you have lactose free milk .. see if he will drink that - or chicken stock , or maybe he will play with iceblocks? try feeding him mince /things like cooked meat /roast veggies /sardines/scrambled egg with some bacon fat mixed through /bread & peanut butter /

How much vit C did you give her? if it is a non acidic form ..she can tolerate quite a lot .

sounds as if she has a majorly painful infection . What's her temperature? if it's up ..I would be off to a vet if you can at all... sinus/nose/eye infections are not nice . Do you have any non acidic vit.C ? if there is no way you can see a vet, that may help ...as will keeping her very cool and hydrated ..let her drink low lactose milk, chicken stock (no salt) , water with a tiny bit of vegemite in smoothies , with mince , egg & veggies .... Do you have any Silver colloid ? That's good for both internal & external application -I've used it on mastitis, cat abscesses, eye infections..all sorts.

I just love the one where he is running , carrying his blue toy .His ears are curled , and he looks great,

Kirty..you showed Stevie such a wonderful rich life , and she enjoyed it all ..the walks by the river- her paddle pool, her visits, hooning with the other dogs .It was such a pleasure to be able to share her story on D O L . She was beautiful ...and you did your very best . Run straight & free, Stevie .

and that's perhaps a good reason to have him crated or on leash .. Your dog should not be subject to this behaviour by guests if it makes him stress. if a pom was KICKED ( what I interpret as a kick - something with force ) .. dog would scream ,there would be injuries ,and possibly broken bones. ......

it does not matter if the housemate's actions exacerbated a behaviour- what needs to be dealt with is what is present now. If that is a dog behaving with any aggression , whether a fear aggression or not - THAT is what matters , and what needs identifying and changing. Simple. And, IF a dog, large or small was obviously biting me with intent ... Using a foot to remove them is definitely preferable to using a hand !! With little dogs , chewing for a while on strong leather shoes often changes their mind for them, anyway ;)

Inside that fluff lies a beast- don't forget ..and, dogs is dogs..whether 4 kg , or 44 kg.

Not stupid .. very scared and stressed. It sounds difficult for you both . With this behaviour, and her way of greeting people ..it sounds like you may benefit from seeing a good recommended professional behaviourist , who will be able to assess her , and then give you ideas/skills to help manage :) if you let us know where you live (city/town) I'm sure someone can give you a name or two to contact..

Hope Struppie keeps feeling happy ... :)They are beautiful boys.
