start with only a couple, yep slanted are easier for the dog too you can also erect some little barriers so the dog knows the pattern exactly and repetition will make it perfect

dont worry they all do it ... when I got my dogue I said to ex do NOT encourage him to jump up on you. Well being the idiot he was he did .. then complained when the dog pushed him almost through the plaster rolled up newspapers are for OH's it seems

it's been almost a month, book in when you can asap and dont pick her up much in the mean time in case. x-ray and if nothing go to a good dog chiro

smack OH over the back of the head. It is totally his fault and is teaching the dog horrific manners ask him if he would do the same with a dog that was 60kg. That usually gets the cogs churning No he has to stop, you are right if a child plays rough the dog will go into 'oh we play like this' mode as it thinks its OK to go that far. It's not aggression at all, just bad manners

liver is high in Vitamin A, over dosing can lead to bone fractures and Vit D problems I dont see 100gm as being too huge, have you tried pouring a liver flavoured stock over it instead?

her tummy is still sore. Diesel ate nothing for 3 weeks he was on fluids and electolytes. She could be too scared to eat too as her last meal caused her so much pain. Unless she's getting too wasted I wouldnt be pushing a feeding tube in either. Its not a problem getting it down, it's the intestines are sore. They can even leave a little plate of slop in there for her to eat at her leasure, not to be force fed. fingers and paws still crossed here for you!!!!

fine needle aspirate shouldnt be that much, just to take and whack it under a microscope for a basic look. Then decide from there.

I think we also have an obsession with snacks these days too ... dogs need a treat or a snack. Remember whatever your dog consumes becomes a part of their diet, thats why their eating it dogs dont really give a rats about their teeth

Wheat starch, glycerine, vegetable fibres, lecithin, natural colourings and flavourings.

beef spine, they have to try and pick the meat out from between the bones and its not too hard. All dogs teeth will wear with time, it's natural for it too. They points on the canines usually go first, the problem only comes when the wearing is happening too quickly and you start exposing the softer innards of the teeth, then it's off to the vet to check the teeth are not too soft or remove all hard objects and tennis balls

you can't google a lump, you need to have a needle put in it, pull some cells out and see what it is exactly. If it's iffy, take a biopsy and have it properly identified by a laboratory Anything that pops up that fast needs to be seen by a vet ASAP, from the looks of it it could also have a fluid component

I dont like giving my dogs too many artificial snacky things at all, I think they're not good for them at all. Plus I get smoked products for next too nothing at the local market, and we catch our own rabbits. Why not give your dog bones. Find a good butcher who has organic pork/beef/lamb and they will provide with guilt free snacks.

I only gave them 2-3 a day and they're 48kg and 60kg dogs. I think it might have been a preservative in there that is not labelled or the quality of the ingredients I dont know. I would give one biscuit and wait a week to see if anything pops up, if it does antihistamine. Now for treats and chews we just get butchers scraps or there is a bloke at the market that smokes his own animal bits a whole pigs tail smoked and no preservatives is $1.75! Whole beef brisket is $3

I tried them for a bit, two of my dogs ended up with terrible skin and my dogue's hair fell out They're cheap and can keep dogs going. If your dog has skin allergies or wheat sensitivities I'd steer clear of them

Diesel has gone through a few, they all go through the other end. Just dont load the dog up with huge meals until it passes through. Hasnt killed him ... neither did the bleach or the dozen eggs and carton *sigh*

my boy kept having growth spurts up to 2 years old ... I would think closer to 18 months of age

food will take a while, better the pup to have nothing and stay on a drip - food WILL put the dog backwards, it horribly irritates the digestive system! If you have ever had a massive stomach bug and eaten something mildly rich I'm sure you knew how that felt! A tiny bit of hills ID can into a slurry with water and a little lick off a spoon was all I gave my boy. Then after half an hour another tsp and we waited. My dog was deathly sick though and dropped to almost half his body weight (he got down to about 12kg and for a 5 month old massive rottweiler it was a lot) get them to try this if they can, and limit severely how much he gets. He will drop weight but its more important to not push him backwards at the moment. Remember too when you bring him home to take a few weeks of small bland feeds as his intestines will be severely irritated. Parvo virus actually attacks the cells lining the intestines (hence the smell, diahhrea, bloody stools etc) so you have them ease them back very slowly

my dog was the same, all he did was sit a little on some of my clean washing (grrr) and he broke out I use a powder from Serbia, not sure what it's called but because my OH is allergic too I stick to it. Will have to find out what it's called

teehee rottie chicken wings

I heart Frodo

I would wait and see what the trainer implements before flooding them with info all I can say is though, remember this is not a baby anymore. I would be implementing a tougher routine then you would on a baby and dont be afraid to put your foot down, airedales are not marshmallows

THe killer is more dehydration which means a shutdown of body systems. Too many people disconnect the IVs when the pup perks up a bit, send home and back to square one. After being through my pup (and I was the vet nurse there at the time) and seeing others in the same situation, my friend who was also the vet taught me the importance of fluids as being the lifesavers to the pup - and if the food wont stay down WHILE the dog is on IV fluids then it stays on and longer until it can eat with no vomiting. Bug hugs to you and stay strong

My opinion it comes down to the attitude of the dog. Take a softer female, not a pushy pup that will want to push the other two for prime position when it matures. The dam will not be ready to give up her post but a pushy bitch will say 'hey my time to shine' and its on for young and old. Are you planning to breed the one you keep? If not SPEY the sooner the better

It's owner mediated behavior. The owner is enabling the behavior and a new routine needs to be set with this dog. She will be showing blocking and guarding body language which is when she should be stopped, not allowed to get to the stage to bite. Sounds like too little too late when it comes to being stopped.
