persephone

you have done well so far !!Poor little things ...

Terribly sad for the family - awful way to go for the cat, but dog and its owners did nothing wrong in my books .

Awww- you are an angel. They definitely sound as though they need you

Seems like it was a very close call! how terrifying

So glad she is now being treated and is home -

THIS GUIDE may also be of help. The main thing to remember though, is if there is NO PEDIGREE - the pups could bebadly bred - they may not even be the breed you are seeking - they may be a mixture! A legal pedigree provides proof of ancestry . Make SURE the breeder is aware of genetic problems and has done veterinary tests to screen the parents. Ask to see the results.

Hope all goes well with the vets

Oh Dear My advice would be to feed fresh raw meat ..with some cooked veg, an egg every couple of days , and some plain yoghurt and a doggy probiotic pill. For treats, anything without colourings etc ! Dried fish /beef liver- that sort of thing . nice meaty bones, too for chewing and fun There are as many ways of feeding dogs as there are types of dogs!

What a great update! Lovely to see a photo of her, too. I hope she enjoys ALL her treats .

That is something to ask your vet. A steroid (or any medication) is prescribed for a set time for a reason . What we can see on the outside does not tell the whole story of what's happening inside. Please take her back to the vet for a check up to be sure you are thinking along the right path .

While she may enjoy it, it's possibly not an ideal scenario - Dog Parks are full of "traps" have a read of these links for more information CLICK HERE CLICK HERE

Sorry for your loss so suddenly

Well done for having it checked out

Your vet will have explained this to you - and if you haven't taken your dogs to a vet , please do so..coccidia is treated with prescription drugs. The vet will also most likeley give information on how to stop dogs eating their own droppings. the best thing I can tell you is to pick up immediately! Also make sure dogs get plenty of things to do to help break the habit .....

Glad she was OK - and hopefully they won't leave her tied up like that again

oh It is so good to read the happy ending ! poor old girl- stuck down there in the cold ....

Design, not accident

Thank you for sharing ! Welcome, Frankie!

paps are super cool they are a small 'working dog' at heart and can enjoy agility and all sorts of things !!

Elderly friends of mine have had chis for years - perfect little dogs for them!! Social, settled (spoilt) not barky..... as for the bitey bit LOL When working at the vets my worst bite was from a chi I was cuddling for a procedure - he got me on the nose!! LOL Blood everywhere- but no stitches needed (LOTS of laughs though)I've never been allowed to forget the "dear little Chi"

Dear old thing!

I liked the lab, with his tail waving

So sorry he's gone now- and you didn't get to carry out your plan He went well loved and in your arms- all he ever knew

that is funny !!!!

and this one taken today - poor Petal got his feet wet in the nasty river, which invaded the firepit! If it was a hose running, he'd be soaked!! the River? NO thankyou LOL
