persephone

and make sure there is NO way she can dig out, or climb over!!!. I mean by that- HIGH fence/roof.. and either a floor, or netting buried underground. It is NOt overkill.. as only one experience of doing either will teach her that it is all possible- and she will try harder next time

Agreed! She is simply a baby puppy looking for her family. She is also doing what pups do- EXPLORE their surroundings. If your laundry has a window- leave that open a crack, and close any solid doors. No escaping It will be great for her t have an outside run- providing it is secure, roofed, floored, and containing interesting and slightly messy things for her to do

Great photos, kirislin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because he's a baby- and gets easily distracted, and when he has to go- he goes . you have little kids- did they make mistakes when toilet training? Bet they did ! Which is NOT a practice to be continued.... he is a very small pup.. and large human figures making loud noises are very scary He may, if fearful of the noise etc.. start making more mistakes inside . he is NOT toileting inside on purpose- so why would you be cross??? It is up to you to see that he is outside when he needs to go. As he grows, his control and knowledge will let him do it himself... now he needs your help.

they have a MUCH more humane death than sheep/cattle No yards, no herding, no transport while alive.. roos are normally shot by professionals.. one bullet direct to the brain- usually the kangaroo is chewing grass- gets surprised by the spotlight.. that's it. Our family supplied kangaroos for pet and human consumption for many years- I have seen/handled more dead roos than I ever want to see again ... but it was money.

That's exactly how all the other roos are obtained too Except , instead of one... the shooter may get 50 a night!

I am so glad that you are now giving Henschke the treatment you are Well done- and I hope he matures into a much more self-reliant companion.

No chance she could have ingested some blood thinning agents??? Poor thing.

Poor Chelsea I hope your vet is helpful, or that you get an appointment with a specialist. *fingers crossed for tail wags soon*

Our pups are all free range from birth- we have never had a problem with them chewing/eating something harmful...mind you they are not in isolation like backyard -confined pups... they can see and hear the others... and have a very large area to cover! yes, they carry bedding around, and sticks, and dog food bags.... Puppies learn thru using their mouths the way a human baby uses its fingers.

skwo2- here.. I have been googling for some info.. THIS mau help you to understand just how important the liver is, and how unbalanced the body becomes if it is not working. I do hope your girl is feeling brighter in the morning- and I would suggest again- a second opinion is often a good idea.

She could be very toxic:( If her liver is not working properly-- the toxins in her body..( normally the liver deals with a lot of the gunk,,,) will be making her very ill. Remember- if you are not happy.. and she is no better- you can always seek a second opinion from another vet. With her vomiting so frequently, and being ill.. DEHYDRATION would be a worry

*nods* Everyone has something to teach ..........

fear and stress do horrible things to muscles We have two sheep carcasses in the chiller today... these two were actually sleeping in the sun when shot... should be good meat

haven't used it- but the Hills food is specifically made for certain conditions. It should not contain stuff which will upset her. try it... if she gets worse- then ask the vet what else you can use. No shops anywhere between work & home??? My aunt's little dog lived on Hills for the past couple of years.. she had urinary tract problems.

There could be an infection in the nasal passages, or a foreign body..... or something else . A vet trip would be wise , esp. as he is young.

This sounds a strange statement :rolleyes: Hopefully she will be home soon.. and you will have something fixed to the gate to stop any more escapes :rolleyes:

The otoscope will see if there is a heavy infestation of mites... and will also show any areas of inflammation/infection, etc :rolleyes:

slight side track.... Bleach.... Sodium Hypochloride...can NOT smell like ammonia... ammonia is a completely different chemical. a lot of the Ordinary 'disinfectants' contain ammonia compounds.. but not the bleaches.

??? sounds like a teenage brat- pushing your buttons. what does he have to occupy him when you sit down? Give him something to DO.. Kong.. cardboard box to rip up.. treat ball A tired pup is a GOOD pup.

You have your pup under your control Have him on a leash.. and have the leash attached to YOU. he cannot jump up, run or bounce if he is attached to you, and has to follow you.... there is NO negotiation. No vocal commands..you turn.. he has to turn. you stop.. he has to stop. you sit.. he has a bed near your chair/feet.. and maybe a chewy. he doesn't have much choice, does he? Don't try to 'calm him' by patting, talking.... this is only seen by him as a reward for being ratty If visitors come.. he is NOT to be spoken to or patted by anyone.. unless he is calm, with 4 feet on the ground (or bum on the ground.) Peoviding at his walk/play times he gts plenty of excercise.. this strict routine won't cramp his style- rather it may show him that manners are required in the company of humans Keep calm... lots of exercise... routine, and NO negotiations

I have this impression as well. Animal behaviour has many similarities, species wide... but those which are domesticated/have become part of the 'human world' do have many different ways of behaving/coping. IMO dogs living in different environments, and having been reared/trained differently may have varying levels of fear/body sensitivity, and knowledge of 'dog manners'

Ok... to me, it sounds as if you have a pup who is , the only way she knows how, trying to avoid the noise and fumes and proximity of the traffic. Smaller pups are just the wrong height. They cop the exhaust fumes and noise, and changes in air pressure/draft as cars go by. Try her with a favourite squeaky toy..let her carry it.. or hold it yourself.. and do not ask to heel.. see if she is happier doing it that way Years ago- I was training a young lab... and the only way I could get her to walk along confidently and happily in a busy area was to let her carry a rolled up piece of 'junk mail' This was phased out after she gained in confidence...

Poor little girl- I hope they find what it is, and help her to get better soon. What a worry for you
