DEF Drill Egg Feather

Ok.. ABC Ants Bristles Collar

yep

Oh Run like the wind now, Lucinda.. your job's done.

Thanks, folks... it happened into my path late this afternoon.. a feather from my favourite bird

Lots of things happening atm.. none good. except THIS .which I was lucky to get today. enjoy

Good news She will enjoy her bones !

Try her on some of our ideas, maybe.... as I said.. if she is bouncy and happy, and eating... then maybe she doesn't need the vet's visit just yet :rolleyes: Up to you.

A method to be used with caution- especially in a tiny dog.!! there is the real risk of the dog aspirating water...

Butchers do have the bones you need :rolleyes: Best of luck at the vet-

Can a 14 week old pup DO this? I didn't think the vomit reflex could be controlled, anyway- but am happy to be proved wrong.. :rolleyes: Maybe- altho if a pup has 3 or so meals during the day, plus treats... then nothing overnight (which could be up to 10 hours) their tummy could get empty during that long stretch....

If she is happy and eating- and ONLY does the early morning vomit... try giving her a meal just before bed time, and see. Also , instead of pigs' ears or rawhide- give a large raw meaty bone like roo tail or lamb brisket. or ... try turkey wings maybe? I had a pup who used to wake me with a vomit-- changed his mealtime and he was fine.

:rolleyes: Yep- it's just rich red meat causing that...

Outside, definitely. spray under the house for spiders/fleas... check fencing... do a 'sweep' if you know cane toads re around.. leave him with a KONG and a bone and a paddlepool...

What you are watching is Cesar showing owners how to walk problem dogs. I have heard him say many times to be relaxed, and don't have tension on the leash.. Our dogs are not allowed to walk in front ...they walk behind-or alongside where they can sniff/play whatever(they are not on leash..we are in the bush, on our own property) When I walk a couple of them on a long line... they are also to walk behind or alongside- not forging out front.

poodlefan- this is an excellent post I second what you have said !

Hi- your dog probably only needs to drink about a cupful each day Don't forget the food contains water... and some is obtained when food is metabolised. Don't fuss... or try and encourage her... this may make her anxious about actually drinking in front of you

sounding good!!

definitely! Which is why I mentioned the lack of easily available ingredient info on that product- it could be tricky if someone just purchases something like that, thinking they are doing the right thing..but are providing something which may not do the dog any good

Not much ingredient info in that product - only the vitamin breakdown ? It would be good for ill dogs. I think this little dog of Lizzy's has kidney and pancreas problems... so may need to watch intake of salts, etc.?

Hi- She will drink- she may not need much if she is getting wet food - and perhaps she drinks when you're not around? leave out a few different bowls- often dogs prefer water which is not 'fresh'.Try different materials- a ceramic one, a metal one , a plastic one.... The more water you ,mix with her meals.. and the more chicken stock you give her- the LESS she will want to drink plain water make sure there is at least one DEEP container of water which stays cool... and try to not change water too often.. .let it sit for a day to remove chlorine and other smells use rainwater, perhaps? Our dogs all prefer to drink out of one particular container when outside (there are about 6 different watering points around our yard) If, after a long walk... she is tired and panting a lot- and doesn't drink- she may well do after she has 'cooled down bit'. Hope this has been helpful. oh- all our water containers are at least 4 litres capacity... some are about 30 litres...keeps the water cooler in our heat.

Lord- if my cocker X Hamlet is any indicator--- they are a very demonstrative and waggly bunch !! That nurse did a good thing- good for her!! :D

...and smoke/ash

Glad her eye is better

I think you did a very good thing!! :D This girl may have now been saved all sorts of problems with her family, and a puppy may have been saved experiencing the tension
