probably phone a vet ... hope all goes well.l

Oh yes!!!

Ha, ha, ha ..she has trained you already!! She HAS to learn that things like roast chicken are for a BIG reward ..and it seems she has trained you to feed her this for just breathing ;) of course she'll eat "mcdonalds" instead of 'broccoli' - but she NEEDS to eat her "broccoli" The breeder should have provided you with feeding information Just follow that ..and then gradually introduce her to a brand of puppy food which suits you . Chicken necks are fine ..just remember to use LARGE ones ..or feed them frozen . Pups can choke on a whole chicken neck , cos they're about the same shape as a dog's throat .. and can get stuck if swallowed fast All that said - did the vet give her the 'all clear' at her "Hi - I'm this family's new puppy - just need everything checked please" visit ? if so ..and she is up-to date with vaccs & worming ..then be a bit tough , and stop HER running the kitchen ;)

Pudden .. always eats like this ..on his sun bed

Agreed! That seems extreme !!

yes! Woolies chicken pieces are not too bad ..esp if there is only one small dog!

You won't need to add any veges . there will be enough in the patties - they are made as a complete meal, after all ..and dogs are predominantely meat eaters ;) I am reeling from that butcher pricing!! The other day I bought 2 bags ( plastic shopping bags ) absolutely full of lamb offcuts ..mainly 1/2 necks, and lots of lovely flap squares ..plus quite a few pelvis/hip bones ! In each bag were about 7 meals for a koolie type dog . 2 bags = $10.00 :D

I'd still feed meaty bones ... Mowgli isn't a puppy anymore

..and maybe , for a vegan , a bit less confronting

This advice is well worth repeating She is a new puppy ..she needs to feel secure , and that her meal time is hers

Oh my - she does have an irresistible face ! I am in love LOL. Have watched this video multiple times ..it just makes me smile

Hi - where did your dog come from ? it may be she has learned to gulp food before it's all gone , or before someone else takes it! Feed her seperately ..do NOT let her watch you preparing food ...use a special bowl ...and try feeding her large turkey necks, or 1/;2 chickens- frozen . She can't gulp those ;)

And there you have it . Maybe some new habits need to be learned by everyone Alarming a youngster with lots of clattering things may indeed cause repercussions .

I dare say their brain would be a tad overloaded at present .... lots happening

@chrlsrand That is an awful situation . taking a puppy is a generous offer - BUT raising a teeny singleton is not easy when done properly . I have worked with dogs most of my life ..and dealt with tiny pups ..like many of the good DOL members here have . At present having a 3 wk old would be too much for me ..I need my sleep , and am no good anymore with routine. The work is constant , like a newborn human baby , plus it will need absolute isolation to protect against viral infections and children will not be allowed to play with it - it's too small . A puppy needs so much more than food ... and this time in a puppy's life is where it learns to speak DOG, to act DOG , and habits to last a lifetime. being with mum, and/or littermates provides mental and physical stimulation essential to becoming a dog of decent temperament . Rural Pug has made a wonderful offer!! I do hope it can be acted upon - it will take a huge load of everyone's shoulders.

There has to be an explanation for this .... a very short time ago , you didn't think your family could cope with a pup/dog . you were doing your homework , and had a lot to learn , you said ... I am still hoping the numbers are wrong and that you will post that really, you have an 8 week old puppy , all healthy, vaccinated and chipped You have children , right? What did you do with them as teeny babies on car trips etc ? Pups are not much different. They need to be contained in a carrier/crate .

or some squished sardine ?

Mix with vegemite , or honey ? How many mls per dose?

ermmm..just WHY are you collecting a 3 week old puppy ? Did the mother die or something? Throwing up in the car is the least of your worries , I would think ....

Dear little girl .... Sorry she had to leave you that way , DDD... Horrible to be a part of

Yes! I have old photos somewhere of a willywag keeping a whistling kite off a raw chopbone I threw out!!The kite had no hope .

LOL.... yes, autocorrect is often a 'funner' game than actual games!! having unchoked rice isn't a good idea

No - I've not found any evidence of any sort of bone in the 3 brands I've bought . Someone , though was angry because of bone shards, which, they said were sharp enough to cut her dog's stomach when eaten. Is ground bone used in these dog rolls? I buy it for treats / something extra for the geriatrics ... and for my bantam chooks - they adore it as a treat !!

That's a sad update . She is not enjoying life anymore , poor little munchkin .

wow!!! that is being very familiar
