Ryslip were great, about 6 years since i used them though for a Mastiff pup, always good to deal with by email and phone

Well that's quite interesting!

It could be they are over feeding, have a belly ache and have colic

it just makes your mind boggle with what they can get away with....because it is "allowable"

OMG get off your high horse! You must NEED some sleep. It's great that you can contribute, but no need to be so condescending, Lynai is doing a fab job and simply asked for advice, which she kindly got from others. As soon as poop is seen of course it is cleaned off as soon as possible...

If you didn't know, Mastiff litters are supervised pretty much 24/7! But unfortunately in that split second that you may not be watching them one might do a poop on it's own and spread it round the box and all over itself and the others, ick! and it is like glue sometimes and the mums, well, i know Mini she was disgusted at the thought of pooping them herself! Hope everything is still going well xx

Oh My Gosh Lynai, i hope those puppies stay strong!!!! Good Luck!!!! My fingers are crossed for you, have added you to a group on FB aswell that might be useful :) Post piccies when you can of course!

They are a gorgeous breed of dog, yes they may not recognized by the ANKC but they are a breed and have their own registry. The breed has been around a very long time. My tip, do your research thoroughly on the breed, the lines and the registries. It's quite interesting really.

Sometimes it can be more than just a sickly feeling tummy, with the runs aswell especially if it's watery i would be worried about it being Gastro and they can get very ill and dehydrated from that. Hope it's nothing, but better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks for the replies :) dancinbcs which Vet do you visit? I know this person doesn't mind driving, if it's a great Vet and not miles too far away that is! I will ask them to look up the Vet you mentioned Asalei thanks. We have Mastiffs and this is one of the boys i bred that's in QLD, if we can get it done without all the better. It's never nice putting them under especially these big boys.

I've had success using home AI kits, fact is, when the vet did it it failed, so i did them myself and got pups, so there you go! I would think being it's a live dog, you could try again. What were the progesterone numbers, are you sure the timing was right?

Hi, just wondering where in Brisbane you can get Hip and Elbow X-Rays done for scoring where you don't have to sedate? Thanks

Maybe some improvement but not sure if it is my wishful thinking seeing that. She will be 5mths old this weekend and going to take new photos then. I am still just feeding her the Holistic Select giant and large breeds puppy food and one thing I have noticed is she is pooing 3-4 times a day and huge ones too! May be a slow process, as the weeks go on hopefully you will see alot more improvement. I have been looking at the importance of Zinc and Selenium and their benefits, do some research on those. Also crushed Linseed and White Millett could be very beneficial aswell. It wont upset the balance of the food either.

Well Wednesday is better than Thursday, haha! What time did you get the prog test done on the Tuesday and what numbers do they go by for ovulation? You just never know with these girls, they don't always read the book.....i've heard of some really late breedings take (much to everyones suprise) and lots done at exactly the right time and they don't take! If you hadn't of done the prog at all, you would be just going by the stud dog, and by the sounds of it he was as keen as musturd.

May be restless because one has had surgery?
