And the breeder said they were lazy, and ran with bunny hops...............
-
Glad he's been properly 'stitched up' this time - hope it all heals quickly...also hope the insurance coughs up!
-
Lock him out the back? Does he fence run, or is he actually out on the road??
-
I also wouldn't suggest doing this Just because she's big doesn't mean she should miss out on 'real' food. Correct feeding is even MORE important for a bigger pup.

Some dogs just don't have strong tissue, and /or don't heal quickly If this is the first time something like this has happened- be aware next time Hope it gets fixed, and you have no more trouble!

Whats The Best Mixture Of Fresh Food To Feed A Puppy?
persephone replied to saminaomi's topic in Puppy Chat
Hi- welcome! I am not the best person to tell you about diet - to start with- have a read of THIS THREAD That will give you some ideas A good idea is to feed exactly what the breeder has been using- until pup gets settled!! This can help avoid tummy upsets and toilet accidents in the first week or two . ( they should give you a diet sheet etc with the rest of the info, but PHONE them and ask, so you can have it ready) GRADUALLY change over to whatever food you wish to use...once again- to avoid tummy upsets. I know nothing of samoyeds and a predisposition to any problems- but would recommend you look at feeding a raw diet. Dogs don't need grains, really, and also , they only need small quantities of veg/fruit. have a read in the "health ,Nutrition, Grooming forum ", too -
Well- I can recommend LIGHTROOM Started to use it yesterday- and am in love ! It has so many ways of 'developing' a photo- is easy to use, and ,the thing I love- there is both a 'before' and 'after' shot right in front of you- so any changes are obvious . I do use PS- but find LR suits my way of attacking things

Ok- Hamlet- No "formal obedience training " as such... came first up, and sat at my side. I tried again-this time he came and walked around in front of me- with a confused look on his face I'm happy .

Found A Small Hard Lump On My Girl.
persephone replied to MissMolly's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Could be anything from a blocked sebaceous gland, to an old injury, to who knows what Vet will sort it out for you -
So sorry- he has been a good friend- and you will miss him every day, but it was his time to head off, to where he can be free and sit in the sun again, without the pain
-
That would have been a varied and balanced diet..... with none of the chemicals and processing.

My Short Coated Puppy Has Dandruff Would Fish Oil Help?
persephone replied to kelly's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Hi- how old is your pup? How often have you been bathing her, and with what shampoo? Does she go swimming? -
Oh dear- all our poor pups We have working sheepdogs- all kennelled outdoors- and mostly fed raw. Puppies are weaned straight onto raw meaty bones. The also get some puppy dry food..NEVER milk. I have never seen diarrhoea in any of our pups- the all do tiny little formed poo from day 1. No vomiting, either ... just bulging tummies and good strong teeth/jaws. most of them live well into their teens after a lifetime of hard active work, and eating tons of bones Our tiny pups get enormous beef/lamb bones, and they suck meat off them safely. As they are able to chew- they get DRY puppy kibble, and smaller chewable bones- mostly rabbit/mutton/some chicken wings... Most are chewing up bones well very quickly Unfortunately- 'modern' dogs are often a bit 'delicate' and may not be able to handle 'real' food Vets will recommend the canned foods,as long as the companies give bonuses to those who stock/sell it
-
Probably the best option- a suffering dog/distraught kids and not much money... Poor people Hopefully their next one will be healthy and happy
-
he looks a very happy boy
-
I haven't seen that- but not to say it isn't vaccine related Sounds to me more like a back/hip injury..... any chance she could have been knockedhard, or have twisted the wrong way, or jumped crooked??? Either way- if she is not comfortable ..phone your vet
-
YES !!! although at 7 MONTHS- this is a bit early ???

Eagle Pack Power Vs Great Barko
persephone replied to witheverythingiam's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
The beauty of GB is that is Australian (SA, take a bow!) :laugh: I will therefore buy it in preference to most other DOG foods. (edit to add 'DOG" ) -
I know nothing of start pegs or such things However- I walked Hamlet to a stick(no lead- don't have one ) to mark a spot- got him sitting..and then waited- he watched me for about 25 seconds.. he is a kooliexcocker-6 y o - done absolutely no formal obedience..is just a free-range idiot
-
What has changed? Different walk/feedtimes? temperature changes? Different food/water? If all is as before- get her to a vet to check for a urinary tract infection. Also- put her back in her pen, perhaps. Poor girl is trying to get as far from bed as possible... and she is still only a baby .. .
-
I didn't think it was an acceptable thing to 'bunny hop'? Or are Dogues different? I'd be a tad concerned if this breeder has several
-
I agree- contact the breeder first. if she is truly incontinent (wetting when asleep ,or just walking along)... and is bunny hopping- the two could be both coming from a spinal/pelvic problem, maybe ... Breeder first, and as said , a vet who knows your breed . Hope all turns out fine for your gorgeous girl
