  1. there have been dogs that never regained their fertility, many more that the implant lasted months longer then it was supposed to and of course some dogs that it worked exactly as designed.
  2. if you think you might want to breed in the future with your boy then I would advise you to freeze some semen before implanting him. Seems a bit of overkill when you are just babysitting. If the bitch is staying for a long time and may come into season while staying with you, you would still have to keep them separate so they don't mate when you are not there.
  3. how often are the dogs allowed into the house? If only at night he might be wanting some attention from the people. He is only young. I'd try playing some indoor games or training (or outdoors) before asking him/expecting him to immediately go into quiet lay down mode.
  4. You need a blood test for heartworm.
  5. @mitaall the aussie connections have been taken down. Troy's post is above yours
  6. whereabouts do you live @Ricky2? There are heartworm meds around that only treat heartworm and not expensive at all. I use Valuheart for my dogs. $18 for 6 months worth. But you dog needs a heartworm test first at the vet.
  7. bit hard to tell what it may be. Maybe trying bathing in warm water first off. She could have laid in something that irritated her. If it worsens or continues then a vet visit would be in order.
  8. I think Winky was a bit overwhelmed with the surrounds.
  9. From comments from other breeders it appears all stolen info has been taken down. Many thanks Troy.
  10. All the Greyhound listings have been removed. Both website and FB page were still working for me.
  11. A cup weighs over 200 grams. So maybe 1/2 cup for 2 meals. Raw for the other. Ask your vet for their opinion on your pups body condition.
  12. Do what JRG suggests and see what the guide says. Now often you will need to feed a bit more or less depending on the puppy. I like my babies to be a little bit plump, not fat. At 10 weeks my pups are still being fed 3 times a day. At least one meal is raw. I have a different breed but I would suggest 2 chicken wings would make one meal. 1/2 dozen necks another. The other 2 meals would be 1/2 to 1 cup of the dry, with some sardines, eggs, puppy milk added. Hard to give exact quantities. Has pup been seen by a vet? Up to date with worming and vaccinations? Is puppy happy and running around?
  13. This post is nearly 8 years old. Best to start a new one if wanting up to date info
  14. Did the breeder not provide you with a diet sheet? You can add lots of things to his dry food, like sardines and eggs. I would also make at least one meal raw food like chicken necks or wings. As your pup grows he can have raw turkey pieces as well.
  15. I've never had much success with anything for car sickness. Best I've had was making sure not to feed the dog for at least 12 hours before hand. Mine have all settled better with age but it's not much fun.
  16. at 15 what is more risky? I would guess the heat. If Rheneas likes the ZD's and they help keep him comfortable then I would say go for it.
  17. Sweet dreams Trouble. You go knowing you are very much loved. Enjoy those treats!
  18. You would be best to go with a pet transport company. If one single t is not crossed or an i not dotted then the dog can be sent back. It is not cheap to bring a dog into the country.

    Weening puppy

    I start with some minced chicken frames. I rarely add any milk unless I have some left over formula.
  20. I can't help with 1. As for 2. Yes the breeder has been reasonable. But I would have returned the purchase price to you anyway. But I am under no legal obligation to do so without requesting return of puppy. How long had you had the pup before finding out about the murmur? It is possible the pup did not have a murmur when checked by the breeders vet. As for another litter on the way, is it the same parents? A back to back litter for the dam is permissible under certain rules laid down by the governing state body, assuming your pup is from a registered ANKC breeder. Good luck on Tuesday. Fingers crossed for your family and little girl.
  21. Please research what to feed a very young pup. He needs more biologically appropriate dog food.. Otherwise he's never going to grow correctly and possibly often be sick.
  22. relax, highly unlikely to cause any problems. Feed frozen as Ruralpug suggests or after a normal meal.
  23. If you are putting out your dogs dry food in the morning when you leave and you can't be sure she'll eat it then I wouldn't add eggs etc in case they go off. You could add to her dry food when you are home at weekends. Plenty of people feed raw chicken pieces as a separate meal and would do wonders for her teeth/jaw/wellbeing.
  24. been thinking of you and waiting for news. Congratulations
