AS has been said- feed the food with the most appropriate ingredients for a dog's digestive system- and the one you can afford "premium' grain free processed food is fine for some- RAW is fine for others, but millions of dogs live long and healthy lives on the lower priced foods. If your dog thrives and is healthy- he/she is getting a good food

Sorry it's broked lenses are precision items- with all sorts of tiny moving parts.. any rough impact may do damage, unfortunately.

If there is a puncture the dog needs internal antibiotics, I think- betadine won't do it make up a quite salty solution with boiled and still warm (not hot.. but warmer than blood temp) put it in a jar or contained which is narrow and deep enough to completely cover the foot.. and go a little way up the leg too. insert wounded foot.. and keep it there for about 5 minutes. Dry carefully. This will at least get something into the tissues....

If you indulge in contact play with your pup- he will instinctively react by nipping and play-fighting. Maybe 'play' more fetch games- or hide treats for him to dig up or sniff out I would also recommend you type "mouthing" into the search box, and have a look thru to find some useful tips :rolleyes:

2 cm hole! And oozing- and unknown cause? I would be off to the vet

Glad he has not got any worse :)Take things slow... and he should be bouncing again soon!

That was my thought!! That number of biscuits would indeed be a day's rations... judging by the ingredient list. Poor dog is trying to digest and store a couple of day's worth of food each meal I'd be worried about bloat/torsion with such an overloaded stomach. You would be better feeding him 3 or 4 times a day... MUCH smaller quantities, perhaps.

Your dog may have had a sore/irritated anus, or some faecal matter stuck on the hair- scooting is the only thing he knows which may help As said- starve for 24 hrs... then feed small meals of boiled rice(serve as is- just boiled, no salt.. and with some of the water it is boiled in- it's this starchy liquid which helps ) & chicken.IF IMPROVING after a couple of days.. GRADUALLY introduce normal ( not too fatty) food.

No- I just upload a reduced size pic straight off my computer!v MUCH simpler than mucking around with buckets & stuff I use THIS to resize, and save to a folder on my desktop ( I lose things otherwise ) dead easy!! Then just follow the prompts on the page- search for and copy/paste link, upload, and insert

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.
