Animal House Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Good news then. Im glad it wasn't anything more serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 That is good news. Your OH is probably a bit "sensitive" at the moment having had his working hours reduced and not having the income you were all relying on, so I guess it is understandable that he would feel uncomfortable able getting help from strangers. Remember, though, that there are many very very genuine people here on DOL who would go to any lengths to help people whose animals are in distress. Looking forward to hearing that Boots is once again a happy healthy pup and to seeing photos. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttaburra Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 It might also be wise to stop the milk and get the Puppy Milk that does not contain lactose from the supermarket, and encourage Boots to drink more water, even if you have to water the Puppy Milk down for a while. Many animals are lactose intolerant, and it can cause allergic type reactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will often find that a dog who refuses to drink water will drink it if there are just a couple of drops of milk. Most dogs, given the choice between water or milk, will choose the milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Glad Boots has been to the vet, and that you now will hopefully get on top of her problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 That's great news Jass Also do NOT get Boots vaccinated until she is well and not on the steroids. Vaccinations should only be given to healthy animals. Hope she's well soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccinations should only be given to healthy animals. Hope she's well soon Yes fully agree with this. Do not even go there with vaccinations until she is fully recovered. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gspsplease Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hi, I agree totally with the flea bomb suggestion; we had endless problems with 2 cats who constantly picked up fleas (and passed them on to our dog) and were reduced to bathing the cats every 2 weeks to try to eradicate the fleas-- and even bathing in a flea rinse (NOT recommended for cats) was not effective -- as an example of how tough fleas were, within a few minutes of getting the cats out of the bath the fleas, which had fastened themselves to the base of hair follicles, would start to move again. Once we flea bombed the house the problem was solved for 6 months or so, as any flea eggs could not hatch. An earlier suggestion was to look for wandering jew -- not a bad idea. Even if fleas are the problem, wandering jew can cause rashes on dogs with sensitive skin. It's a creeper with a deep green, spear head shaped leaf, found in shady areas. When you try to pull it out, it breaks off into small sections, each of which can root and start again. Try asking older neighbours working in their gardens to identify any suspect plants if you don't know what they are-- if you are in a rental property with a neglected garden it's quite likely there is wandering jew growing somewhere which may be a problem in the future, if not now. best of luck with the puppy.
