well written...and it should be pasted up in every vet surgery/pet shop. It only takes a second for a disaster ,which had been waiting in the wings, to happen.

looks good!. You'll soon know if it's a prey drive thing - she'll start trying to dig under, or jump over ;) Looking at that photo..the bits she's chewing seem to correlate with where she can see most movement inside the hutch... just my take on it .... I hope this fence does stop it !

if she's dehydrated-did they not give her IV fluids? Not eating for 24 hrs won't hurt ... but keeping her hydrated is important. She will still be sore.. maybe make her some chicken soup ..and make a slurry with mince/water . Scrambled egg ..soft

Good progress!

.Just to be safe , you could go to the vet and get it checked ....

I'm not sure where , but I'd suggest just phoning a couple of vets and asking

'cos it's a boring term :p

maybe ensure he has a patch of safe grass he can munch on..and plenty of bones etc to occupy him Perhaps buy some 'cat grass' for him? Some nurseries stock it . Otherwise, if you can just grow your own oat or barley or wheat in a large pot ... he will enjoy nibbling!

if she's licking - there is a reason... usually an irritation of some sort - stress/allergy/pain .... removing the stain obviously doesn't stop the cause , so it seems time for some detective work ;)

Ouch. poor thing. Hope it can be sorted in the morning

I am so glad you will have these two youngsters in your home now There will be happy smiles and all teh ratbaggery associated with pups to help you recover from the horrible time you've had. I hope there'll be lots of photos and stories!

..glad it's going well

that it's not parvo!! I hope now , with the right AB's and food, they will all be happy soon ...then do we get photos????

LOL! I can understand why she had her running shoes on . Maybe start off with asking just a couple of questions.. and then try & do it by phone..when conversation can lead in different directions?

..and eating varnish/paint isn;'t terribly good for dogs ;)

if he's trying to get to the rabbits... it may need a bit more than a varnish! Can you move either the dog or the hutch? Seems that it is his entertainment .... and as said- the pepper /bitter sprays or constant vigilance/correcting/redirecting may help - BUT if it is prey drive causing it..that's a whole 'nother story

perhaps pm yellowgirl, or others who have CC's ?

I don't have tiles.. but usually use domestos ..... rinsed with dilute vinegar.

Poor old dog .

I would perhaps add on to his pen..and line it with either fake or real turf ...just in case so he is good in his area..but now has a new area with 'grass'. he is being such a good boy though!

have a look on the D O L breeders pages ? contact staffy rescue ?

Staffyluv, that's a lovely little epilogue. Ollie and you had many vet visits , and he would not have been worried , I'm sure .

I love that 'lazy' shot . gorgeous.

Cute ad - I like how he tried the jump at the finish
