Without seeing the dog- it is difficult- plus we are not vets (well most of us) I also recommend a vet visit- as such a youngster should not have problems with his gums this early on. A retained tooth/teeth could be problematic... there are many possibilities- but a vet check is the ideal. hope you get some answers tomorrow

For What It's Worth

If it smells, and seems more than usual- yep- vet visit would be a good plan

Just wondering how pup is ....

Good point!! I had forgotten that side of it

time for you to do some homework these links explain it much better than I could LINK 3 LINK 2 LINK 1

there are - computer age/speed, internet connection type.. all sorts of things!

same here. That last one was great, tlc !! fast, and still enough detail for a 'happy snap'

first one is HEAPS faster :D Mind you ,I'm on dialup still, too very cute pic ....love the doggy kisses

hi- another picasa user here..800 is ok- but drop quality level down a bit ,maybe ? I often put pics at 640 ..and quality at 'normal' with my photos- this equals around 150 kb.

How tall is he? measure from his shoulder to the ground- or have him stand side on alongside a human ...

Scamp looked a very cute and loved boy RIP scamp.

Hi being in a backpack/frontpack for a pup the size of goldie would be uncomfortable, methinks Dogs are not meant to be carried around like that..and IMO I think maybe it would create a problem with the pup wanting to be carried a lot afterwards? Why not buy a second hand pram.. and use a small crate on that... or buy a pet stroller to push around? At least puppy would be at the correct level, and on its 4 feet .. Dogs are not meant to be carried around like that..and IMO I think maybe it would create a problem with the pup wanting to be carried a lot afterwards?

Hope your boy sleeps ok tonight, and that in the morning you can get some good advice!

No- same here .. altho it IS a boy he does sound as if a more thorough check is needed, AND some relief!

painkiller is a good idea, but Not sure about aspirin for a puppy who has not eaten since this morning, tho, longclaw? May be a bit much on the tummy? if it were mine, and I was able- he would be off to a 24 hr vet.

emergency vets

Is there not an emergency vet you could see tonight??? look here

I am reading with interest all the allergy related posts. many years ago, when living in the city, my boy , mitchell was allergic to grass/pollen/food colourings... Life was a continual supply of prednil..avoiding stuff, and visits to a holistic vet for vit.C injections. I now what it can be like . Now however, with multiple dogs... we have absolutely no allergies, and things are so much more pleasant Just providing a spot where we can share our itches play nice

Aussiedog- how did things go at the vets?

Your rottie pup will need a well thought out mix of meat/bone offal.. or a complete puppy dry food, to ensure it gets the correct amount (and PROPORTION) of calcium and phosphorous to build that heavy skeleton correctly! Chicken necks are a bit small..try wings and turkey necks too Did the breeder feed ONLY diced liver? If so, that shows an ignorance of nutritional requirements of a baby puppy :D have a read HERE and HERE for some discussion on diet :cool:

Yummo your pup will be a happy one !

Sounds ominous- wonder what else is wrong with him ? poor little fella.

Can't you get him to a vet earlier..... maybe a different vet? A puppy who needs to be carried is an urgent case Hope he's ok.

I just remembered an exception to my rule-- my daneX deerhound, Kieran had a habit of gently holding us by the wrist and walking that way with us....no pressure..no marks I remember one day in town, a crowded mall..and a poor woman who suddenly was taken by the hand and 'escorted along' Luckily she thought it was very cute... if a 45kg, metre high brindle boof can be cute That was the only time he did it to a stranger. he never used mouth/teeth on humans at any other time...
