It may be something as simple as the fact she is attempting to scratch up a bed for herself

Oh The couple of groenendals I know are the Biggest couch potatoes And sooks .

Belgian shepherd, Groenendal

AAhh Good you found that out! Wonder if it is the SSHHHT noise- or the smell? poor boy

scambled egg ? veges and grated cheese? Why does he need a meat free night? You could just fast him one night a week? I do that with ours- often.

sad situation all round. Hoping you have some sort of tangible proof that the cat was in your yard when attacked Definitely get some AB's going for your finger injuries!

Glad he seems happier Sudden pain could have done it - or even a good jolt of static electricity- making him very unsure and worried... or it could be as Aidan suggested...

No problem with responsible debarking here . I second nekhbet's suggestion to review the laws in your state! Don't leave it til the last minute .

If he were mine- I would NOT be paying attention to him- also not trying to coax him back into the kitchen or anything.Fed him somewhere he IS comfortable- and otherwise keep routines as you would normally. If he wants to stay in one room- so be it. When you go for a walk this evening- watch him. Is there any sign of a difference in his sight and/or hearing? Is he more anxious looking, is he walking any differently? Has he had access to anywhere different where he may have eaten medications or anything? Hope he is better tomorrow .

Would she drink chicken soup? make it yourself- boil up a couple of chicken breasts and a small amount of rice, and some finely chopped pumpkin.. boil and boil.... then leave some of the chcicken in there... whizz it up in the blender so it's all smooth and very liquid .. add a TINY pinch of salt and see how she goes ;) With th echicken/rice, as something more appetising- chop chicken up, and in a NON stick, DRY pan.. brown it until it smells like it is yummy Then mix with cooked rice. I agree with VERY small amounts, and often....

What a pretty girl!!

Oh Hope she's OK

beladoza- did you say you alreadyhave a puppy from the same breeders? if they have parvo in their kennels I would be concerned for this little one as well

AK FEBRUARY!! as in TOMORROW I wrote April in my original post- apologies !!! senior moment. Sorry Oops *goes to get coffee* ;)

On Thurs FEBRUARY 25 on Austar (Bio at 8:30 pm.) there is a Cesar episode where he goes undercover and into puppy milling activity. Could be interesting. Apparently it was filmed in 2008- and the kennel was ordered to release 75 dogs into care.

I have not tried the powder, but I swear by betadine My mum's old GRxGSD used to get shockers- he had a thick double coat ....;) I used to clip them and betadine them ( after scrubbing with hibitane wash

I do hope you contacted the breeder straight away. How awful for you, poor little pup ;)

If archies has eaten an amount of crystals- he may only show symptoms after several hours ..as things move slowly thru. Hopefully he will be OK. Dogs LOVE poo -from any species

LINK I killed my photoshop sometime back... Tried Gimp and some others with NO success and heaps more grey hairs... and found this one today . Within a few minutes I had done some layer work, selecting/cutting/inserting/cloning... For me, it is fairly simple, and with a good set of tutorials,could be very handy! Enjoy.

I also had a rescued pig puppy - he was a dane/deerhound mix - grew to nearly a metre at the shoulder and, in not fat condition was 45 -48 kg. I lost him at 7 to bloat

A bite from a jack/pom/whatever would not cause too much damage. A bite from a an adult stafford...........well, I would imagine that would not be pleasant. if I had an option, I would NOT walk past a yard containing an unknown unsecured dog larger than a SWF .

I hope the policeman is being treated for his depression and whatever else led to this . R I P poor dogs.

Dammit- something in my eye ! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY well done, you!

It certainly sounds like an allergy to me. I would also suggest a second opinion- and maybe ask if an antihistamine can be tried ? If an anti histamine heps- then that is terrific! if not - then you need to look further I had a dog who used to lick paws a lot- he was allergic to grass

I would also suggest swimming- keeping her at a trim weight, and perhaps seeing a chiropractor. has she been xrayed or otherwise tested for any hip/leg problems? Snake venom is destructive stuff- however it could be something else, perhaps. So- when do we see photos of this lucky girl?
