bigbadwolf...there is some useful discussion on worming products HERE

Welcome, and I'm sorry your little dog is having to go through that. What did your vet say about the supposed side effects? If you have not contacted them, I would suggest you do so as a matter of urgency. Thinking of you, and your little girl...

ideally, it should be started when pup is a baby .... however better late than never! I would start by never giving him attention 'for free' N I L I F is a program which, when done consistently , allows for pup to get as many cuddles and hugs as it can stand .......PROVIDED pup works for them :) Pup sits still..pup gets praise. pup waits for dinner ..pup gets praise. pup faces away from owner and lies down happily - pup gets praise . pup walks out door and does NOT look at owner (even 10 seconds) ..pup gets praise (in giving praise for sitting, etc ..do NOT call pup to you ... a Vocal 'good boy' ..'clever dog' etc can be given immediately teh wanted action is done) Read more on it in THIS LINK. Also ..give him really interesting/interactive toys that he can play with independently...first with you present, but being silent and not paying him attention .... Does he like chasing, or chewing, or puzzle solving best? there are great toys to cater for all preferences... I'm sure there are lots of things folks here can suggest... and , don't forget , having the professional input of a good and recommended trainer/behaviourist can also help you understand what is happening/why it happens, and how you can learn to manage it.

that's not a bad update :) Glad she is still enjoying life, lillysmum .

Do you do this routine when you're home too? get him to spend time alone when you're home?

Would he drink chicken broth? That might help replace fluids

Gorgeous photos!! So many happy dogs, and a beautiful beach as well ........... *sigh* Thanks for sharing. this one !! http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee194/monah1960/overseas%20trips/dogsbeachmay23rd099.jpg

sounds odd...... It will be interesting to see what's happened.

So, the vet ended up with the pup? Your friend didn't take it to the pound ..and so, you think pup has been euth'ed?

:D I can understand that problem!!

:) he's very fine boned , it seems ..but hard to judge his size/shape in that pic Lovely markings on him.

Got a photo? he sounds cute :p

personally - I think a phantom litter is a good thing at this stage- you know where she is, and she is occupied, and STILL :) perfect for wound healing . leave her be ..just go on around her as normal...

Oh What a shock for you .

Most likely he's dreaming :) Dogs can 'run', whine, bark (muffled) growl, tail wag ..... and be very very noisy when they dream !

:) he is certainly sounding relaxed and more comfortable :)

:) handsome boy!

So glad teh two weren't connected..and glad to hear he seems to be feeling much more comfortable. Hoping for a restful night :)

No chemicals used on any sort of regular basis ..VERY lazy gardener

What a gorgeous girl :)

:) roses, apples & pears are all cousins ..so guess it's the same sort of thing :) Obsession is right!

Glad he's back to normal and enjoying himself:)

Aawwwww :) Cute photos of a lovely mixed family .

contact robert Mc Dowell herbal :) LINK they have anti inflamms & painkillers, and when you speak with the herbalist, she can make up something specifically to suit your boy :) I have used their mix for our old horse, and am on it myself :)

But could it not have been a muscle problem, a sprain, or a badly bruised bone ? I would be suspicious of an injury, rather than something like pano if a pup showed significant lameness after a rough & tumble with an adult dog Glad the rest helped heal it.
