When was dog last fed? What was in the vomit? Hopefully it is something as simple as heat stress ... What's the dog's temperature? (and if you don't know how to do this .you should- living away from a vet surgery ;) )
-
Dogs vomiting can be anything from heat stress, to a bacterial/viral infection, to a foreign body in the stomach. yes, dogs can and do get gastro. they can get most infections/problems which humans suffer from.They can also get PARVO keep a close watch on her tonight .. don't offer food, but do offer her small amounts of water often ..and check the colour of her gums .. phone the emergency vet number if you notice any changes !!!

Ever Seen A Pig Do Agility?
persephone replied to kezzzza's topic in Training / Obedience / Dog Sports
:) Pigs love being busy! -
maybe put another post up .. with CANE TOAD safety or something as a heading? That way - those interested/with experience ,may pop in to help
-
I live on acreage too - but pups/unsupervised dogs are kept confined, just in case. (no toads though)

Gold....could be bleaching /dead hair ..

Hmmm.. what I would suggest is leaving her in a secure netted/colourbond enclosure when you are not there with her . also, IMO If the pup is to be an outdoor dog , it should be started off outdoors .. so that being put outside after having your company and indoor comfort isn't a big shock. I will leave the training to others who have experience of cane toads ...but it would be a very special dog who, left alone in a yard did not once try and play with a toad ...and once may be all it takes to make her very very ill.

Why Are So Many Cats And Dogs Being Pts In Pounds?
persephone replied to Leema's topic in General Dog Discussion
because there are simply not enough homes for all the cats/dogs which are born. -
This afternoon, as I happened to walk past our concrete water tank.. I noticed a couple of flowers , a tangle of grass, and the texture of the concrete. Snapped a shot .. and spent a few minutes in Photoscape ....

Making It Work With Puppies And Babies
persephone replied to ncarter's topic in General Dog Discussion
I tend to agree. I also agree with the fostering two pups idea ASAP , while she is still fairly active and organised . That way she will get an idea of what two are like together -
Making It Work With Puppies And Babies
persephone replied to ncarter's topic in General Dog Discussion
Supermum! Twins may have to stay in hospital .... or need a bit extra care . two pups always need a lot of work ! teen large breed pups, humans suffering all sorts of sleep deprivation/stress/ worries , demands of new babies- two at a time , visitors... medical appointments .. Doesn't sound a good combination to me . -
How To Minimise A Puppy Chewing On An Older Dogs Neck When Playing
persephone replied to Huntia's topic in Puppy Chat
I think whatever you put on there will encourage pup to lick more! -
As dancinbc's said a couple of minutes is good ..stop while he's being good, and NOT chewing I also tend to buy a cheap chain leash and use that for the first days ... they dislike chewing on the hard chain, so a habit never develops!

Stopped Feeding Pups - Teats Still Look Full
persephone replied to mini girl's topic in Breeders Community
All sounds fine to me .. of course there will still be some milk being produced .. but reducing her food , and getting her much more active will help bring her back from that state -
Glad all is well. My Hamlet .. who is def. NOT a pup..used to get dry of a night time. 2 or 3 times he peed in his sleep ..... LOTS .. and I was worried , but thought I'd try feeding raw as his bedtime snack . Now there's no big drink of a night, and a dry bed . The peeing in his sleep is still a concern, but as it hasn't happened again ... He does sleep heavily , poor boy .

Apricot kernels, cherry pips, a lot of stone fruits contain a form of cyanide , apparently. The fruit is fine ..but the kernels /'nut' can be a problem. Our dogs love plums/apricots , but don't eat the stones, luckily ! Glad she's on the mend !

So sorry . Run free and waggly, Gilly.
