Glad they can spey her right away ... you will both feel better when she comes home! Thinking of you.

Whilst I'm glad the dog is back home .. I am now concerned as to what she has brought home with her diseases/injuries./infections like pyometra and probably a litter of pups with perhaps 4 different fathers some big, some small .. who knows .

Mum's old girl had pyo ... the discharge was definitely NOT bright blood- it was as you'd expect from an infection .. pussy grey muck.... She didn't show any other symptoms. On vet advice I put her straight on AB's ,and she went to the vet next day to be speyed- no problems with recovery . Hope all is well with your girl .

How about some training for you both? ;) Learning how to read/control a teenager like your boy would be a real bonus for you!

We have never had an entire or desexed dog hump ... my guess that is an environmental thingy. Dogs and bitches urine does smell stronger if they are entire..and entire dogs tend to 'mark' with urine...as do bitches when coming in season. There may be more fighting between entire dogs/bitches .

He is looking better

I would suggest a vet visit in the morning just to check. I have never seen this behaviour ..and have seen a LOT of fresh speyed bitches

People do train their own dogs , often after their first one - they then use the harness for this dog. ..there is also more than one association training/placing dogs, AFAIK. PLEASE report it - to rangers, Guide Dogs NSW - someone. It is dangerous for the owner .. it is dangerous for passersby who instinctively trust a guide dog in harness - and it is detrimental to the image of Guide Dogs everywhere How sad.

I know the draw to home turf can be strong ... but this dog is not 'lost'/abandoned. She WILLINGLY escaped to find a mate ...and this travel could have taken her anywhere .. I honestly don't believe she will be trying to get home just yet ...her hormones are telling her other things I just hope she's safe.

These are definitley not puppies, and you would be wise to contact THIS behaviourist to get advice/strategies . Two males like this could one day do serious damage to each other

Chaining a bitch in season outside is just making her an easy target for entire males who come looking if she can get out - they can get in. Hope you get some news soon.

Hopefully after he has healed there will be no more!!

That's what's sad Well, looks as if your friend will get her wish - that her poor dog will be pregnant . Hopefully that is all .. and she has not been injured during mating , or worse...argued with traffic or something. hope the dog is safe and well somewhere.

if the dog has not been walked a lot around the suburb/streets and is actively searching for a mate-she will not 'find her way home' . Please notify every vet , RSPCA shelter, pounds etc..and you might have a chance of getting her back. is she wearing a collar? does she have a microchip? I am hoping also that she gets impounded and desexed prior to the owner getting her back. :(

AFAIK earflap haematomas are the most common - and mostly unilateral. Bandaging tight to the side of the head keeps the ear flat,able to drain, and with less space between layers of cartilage/skin for accumulation of fluid . It also stops the dog shaking that ear again..and causing more damage. Leave it as late as you can before unwrapping ..and DON'T let the dog shake!!

Oh just saw this. I hope dog survives .. poor owner .

poor At - but bet he's enjoying the extra love & cuddles

Why not just post to DOL from the folder on your computer where the photo is? I rarely post an image from an online photo host.... just resize & use 'attach file' .Easy

Nice effect!

Whatever you feed him .. if he continues to get treats from otheers in teh family, he won't lose any weight For now- continue with his normal food, but 1/2 the amount. Easy . He won't lose a lot (to your eyes) each week .. he is only tiny ... but, if he does not get treats, he will lose weight.

They can heal without surgery, but the ear ends up disfigured ..it sort of folds up.... as the blood separates the flat bits..and takes away any support .. so your dog will probably end up having a smaller screwed up ear flap, ...

Minyvlz yes, the fear component is what concerns me .. especially as you have now clarified that it mostly happens when he is tied up in a busy ish place. My guess is that he feels totally unprotected and insecure ..and so he tries to defend himself in the only way he can. If it is fear aggression it really needs assessing and acting upon...as it can become more intense and more frequent.

print out one of the 'bitches fighting' threads and give them.

..if he's raising a paw.... what is his head doing ? does he sort of twist/roll it ? it may well be a play thing . Hard to tell just from a written description ...Ask someone experienced who can carefully look and assess before doing anything to change it.

How sad. leave it with her tonight .. her raging hormones need an outlet. Don't feed her much .. leave her be - don't fuss around her now at all.Just be matter of fact.The more upset/clingy YOU are - the more she will think that something is very wrong...Just let her realise that puppy is not going to suckle/move .. she will ... eventually . Then, maybe in the morning .. when she is NOT looking .. put gloves on .. take puppy, and place in a couplle of layers of plastic bag .. and go bury it well away from your house.. take it to the vets for disposal... or maybe wrap it well and use your bin...if bin day is in a day or so. do NOT leave any scent of it around you or the house/yard. let her watch you cleaning up - thoroughly dispose of all bedding etc ... and then just treat her as normal ... lots of exercise and a bit of a diet to help get rid of the milk .. and lots of bones to chew/fun things. It won't be an instant fits - she is so full of mothering hormones/instinct .. but without any stimuli, it will ease ...
