Inka..it sounds as though to be comfortable with this pup, you might need a few more 'tools' in your basket than you have . :) if you are in melb... there are some DOLers who are professionals and could help you on a 1:1 basis- at home, where the problems are happening :) Try contacting members cosmolo .and erny .. Hope you get some assistance soon :)

..or you get the crate powder coated or painted?

(unless a leg is considerably shorter or malformed....) poor kenz ... and poor you, after all the trouble ...

poor lady .

My boy Mitchell had his done many years ago ..had the groove deepened ... and everything put back .. other ligaments used to hold it ... he did have it done by a very experienced surgeon..and after a lengthy convalescence which went fine ..not a crate in sight ...he had not one problem for the next 10 years ..and was working sheep ..chasing rabbits ...all sorts of stuff. (he was a cocker spaniel X )

yes!

What is this ? I don't have huskies..and haven't heard of it ... do you have any info :)

oohh!!..My old stompin'ground !! :) Def. no bats there then . wow! Lovely photos...... :) :) Were you on The Boulevard?

When I was working with Guide Dogs ... washing/drying feet was a normal grooming thing ..dirty feet>dog licks>dog curls up to sleep /licks somewhere else ... and the smell/bacteria can travel . Your boy might indeed just have that extra oil being secreted , and feeding a colony of little bacteria .... sorry, no great ideas here - but I hope you can find & fix it :)

check for yeast infection? anal glands? teeth? maybe just his sweaty feet ? try rinsing /drying them well every evening ...

a comfort , at least :)

So sorry, kiwioz .... he chose his time, and saved you the decision... R I P little man ...

Where was he raised ? did he have dirt? it may just be a novelty ...but, ingesting amounts of gravelly stuff will likely lead to problems no suggestions ..if all you have is dirt/gravel - just make sure he is getting all his minerals .....

:) after many many years of owning pups/dogs .. I have the gruff/scruff working well... usually only takes one or two attempts for them to realise the consequences.

That's nice - he is enjoying himself :) Living in the moment has a lot of advantages ! Thanks for the updates...take care

sounds frustrating , and uncomfortable for her, too. No suggestions from me ... I hope it gets sorted soon.

No..today he relaxed and is acting like a normal puppy with inexperienced owners :) Puppies bite- they don't have fingers & hands. I do recommend , as you have a breed which will need a lot of direction and smart owners ... that you start N I L I F There is also good info in THIS LINK and a good idea or three in THIS LINK , to do with a malamute pup.

Lovely expressions :) :) .but my monitor shows them as all over exposed , darn it

So// offer him 3 small meals ..morning, late afternoon..bed time? leaving food out does bring birds..and ants, and rats ,and ......

How is he today?

pirahna!! :D

a good trainer in real life is even better..as they can see you & your dog :)

Good. Ask for spinal xrays ... I hope all goes well.

x2 yes, please......
