Have heard only good things about Bowen Therapy. Can't help with any recommendations though, sorry.

the only time the price of the pups covered the cost was when I had a litter of 8. Never mind the other 3 litters had me deep in the red hole. I never put a price on my time. To me, covering the costs was: stud fee and vet fees ( 3 out of 4 litters were FS implants and all 4 were c-sections, micro chips and vaccinations ) and rego fees.

one thing you could do is pop Kane in the car and take him to a supermarket/Bunnings/up the street/nearest skate park and open the door and let him watch the world go by. I've done that with all my pups, easy if you have a hatch type car of course. And I have always found that if a pup has a basic good nature then they are usually pretty good as adults. It also depends on your goals. Mine were always raised to ignore other dogs but if they did get to interact then they were able to do so correctly. People were harder to ignore and still are!

I'd be putting a muzzle on him. As a greyhound owner I hear/read all the time about greyhounds muzzled for long periods of time. Personally mine current lot don't need to be but my very first grey was a bugger from destroying paper things occasionally when left inside the house alone. So he had his muzzle on when I went out. He much preferred to be muzzled and left inside then unmuzzled and kicked outside! If you choose your muzzle carefully dogs can pant and drink with them on. You would still have to puppy proof things though but as he grows it gives him time to be a dog doing doggy things outside without risking his life everytime.

I asked because I couldn't see any calcium in his diet which is a big no no but as the company says what the ratio is then it must be in there.

Help with Maremma male 12 months

Time is the only thing that will really help. Perse is right, you have a wild dog. Maybe approach some livestock guardian breeders for in depth advice. -
where is Kane getting his calcium from?
-
I wouldn't get another dog unless I wanted one.

you need to take your dog to a vet, you don't know what you are dealing with.

Upper Motor Neurone Disease - Tamar update
Rebanne replied to Loving my Oldies's topic in General Dog Discussion
I don't see how having wheels will stop Tamar from getting caught up in things poor little mite. Might be time to think of letting her go with dignity. -
Glad you think my answer was funny

I've always just left my pups in the yard. Never ever used a chain, dog yard was really only for bitches in season.

Why antibiotics for gawds sake! Pain relief would be a better idea but honestly 24 hours later it should have resolved and I'd have had her back at the vet if she's as bad as you say
-
are you reaching out to your pups breeder? They are there to help you with all of this. What is your pup being fed and when? All my pups got a raw chicken wing when put to put to bed and then I also would set the alarm for toileting twice overnight and then cut it back to once and then very quickly they were sleeping from 10 ish to 6 ish. Quicker then human babies! Mine are also crated next to my bed as youngsters.

My Dyson cordless upright was a piece of junk. Even with a new battery. Certainly didn't last 2 1/2 years.

Supercoat is fine, my dogs do well on that. Add in some cheap raw chicken and pup will be fine.

I'm another who would do as you are going to do Deeds.

What to do when a puppy has an inverted vulva.
Rebanne replied to ambrosemerryweather's topic in General Dog Discussion
Tell them up front, offer to take puppy back when she has her season (if they feel they can't cope), and if you wish, offer to go halves in any corrective surgery. Not all the costs though as they have taken her with full disclosure. This would be as a good will gesture only not because you have done anything wrong. Sh!t happens at anytime. Ask you vet what they think the surgery would cost so you have an idea. Make sure any agreement is in writing. Just a simple letter saying X has purchased female puppy with possible inverted vulva, recommend to allow puppy to have one season and if it doesn't self correct, then you will contribute x amount of dollars ( or 25/50 % ) to corrective surgery. Or same letter without the contributing part but saying you would refund part purchase price upon the bitch needing surgery, and include at same time of desexing. Just because your buyer is a lawyer does not mean they are any better or worse then others. -
you do realise that by getting a crossbred it may be nothing like your current dog?
-
and please keep your dog at home until this is resolved no matter how much he begs
-
I use Budget Pet Products, never had a problem in several years
-
I've never heard of it. Maybe ask on a Boxer group on facebook or shoot an email to a state's boxer club. Google has clubs in NSW and Vic.
-
I would wait until 2 weeks after her 12 week vaccination but discuss this with your vet first.

so very sorry no more pain Patty
