Rescue Dog. Not Eating Much Loose Poos.
persephone replied to a topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Firstly no food for 24 hours .Stop any processed foods for a time ..and try him on either boiled chicken and rice, or boiled chicken and sweet potato . The chicken should be just meat- NOT any bone. Does the vet know he has diarrhoea?If the diarrhoea /straining worsens, or continues after the no food for 24 hrs, or you see any blood,or he vomits , Wally needs to see the vet pronto!!He may need to have some tests done to find the problem.. or it may be as simple as a very confused gut from different food/water/environment. The scratching/itching may be another sign of some sort of food allergy intolerance ..or it may also be shampoo/flea treatment,fleas, a gardeb plant..... oops- snap* lillysmum -
Sounds fine to me. The correction should be just an instant's tightening/tug with good vocal praise immediately she responds
-
perhaps it's the extra bones and other good things! Good news anyway
-
Nice Very Spring!

That is one very very gorgeous pup.!!! Russ is just lovely That 2nd pic... that is amazingly cute! Doesn't sound stubborn- sounds to me - just from interpreting what you wrote .. as if he is a bit scared and hasn't been socialised very well . Agree with contacting his breeder and ask whay they havedone with him in regrads to socialising... he has only been with you a short time, too.. don't expect too much! perhaps he has never had any leash training from the breeders- he may have just been outside in a pen ... oh- and I do hope you do not leave that collar on him ...that loop can easily hook a leg, or something around the house ..and that could be nasty

Compulsive Licking And Anti-anxiety Medication

Hi Your boy sounds as if he has a loving family to care for him . Hope the infection settles soon! Instead of a bucket..perhaps get a properly fitted one of the plastic basket muzzles ?If worn when you are around, it means he can see properly, and interact with everyone more comfortably I LOVE mine- just have the one, bought about 6 years ago, and used on several of our dogs after surgery, with wounds, etc.When the correct one is found, dog can pant /open mouth wide/drink from a deep container (and you can poke treats thru the holes ) Hmmm... Don't know your old boy, or what he is like with other dogs , or his activity level/routine, however my thoughts are that often older dogs do not enjoy having their routine/space invaded by a bouncy puppy :D If your dog was much younger, Having a playmate could be great - but I'm not sure about inflicting a bouncing. demanding pup on an older dog... -
Oh Nasty. Hope you find a nice slobbery GSD friend .....a fluffy one- kinda like 'the hair of the dog ....(that bit you ') Seriously , I can understand you being very shaken up. That sounded a very frightening few minutes indeed. Glad the council are looking for the dog and its owners. :D

Sounds more like cattle feed, than dog feed:(

think of a bitch's anatomy... sperm needs to placed a fair way in to have a chance at fertilisation....

Lovely tribute ..and what a happy face she had She knew she was loved .

*hands ILDD a bib*

Got any photos ?
-
If she was weaned onto raw, and was only eating that- then yes, she may not like kibble at all
-
probably because it was not a sexual hump- but a dominance hump , if that makes sense ...
-
Wow- you're a glutton for punishment - 2 ratbag labs !! Thank heaven they come equipped with that goofy grin :D First thing I would suggest is a visit from a professional behaviouirist/trainer -ASAP ..... not a 'quick-fix' franchise, but someone who has the expertise to observe/assess and then provide you with the 'tools' and strategies you will need . If new boy is humping the other dog.. .hopefuly the other dog doesn't suddenly decide he's had enough Try and keep them separate for periods- give them both time with you alone..that way you can do work with each one , and give the other a break .. I think the new boy needs his wings clipped a bit in these early days ... more leash time with you..or crate training maybe for short periods ?Just so he can stop/listen, and learn . Hmmm.. maybe you are seeing why he was in rescue? Male labs , without proper training are
-
Sorry,I just cannot imagine having a dog who did this - having owned/trained many dogs, and never had one who humped anything .... it is just a foreign concept to me !
-
Mind you, sometimes it isn't so much 'stuck' out, but, being enlarged from stimulation, it just won't fit back in until it deflates a bit . Why is he allowed to hump things?
-
Hopefully she now will settle and start to feel comfortable. The vet visit was a GOOD idea- as that many worms can irritate the gut, and you do need to use some medicine and diet to soothe things down . I'm glad you went .

I haven't tried- but my guess is some of it could be done in Lightroom, maybe?

if he is not walking normally, if he is limping - he has pain Dogs don't think about having pain- they just LIVE and accommodate it .
