poor little baby feels very lost & alone - crate in your room sounds a good option :) lab pups are so cute ! :)

once when working at a kennel, a workmate and I took the very old kennel cat to the vet ...she was ... looking most unwell, panting/drooling .. and so were we .. Well, we gave her to the vet , and sat in the waiting room and bawled .... and were still bawling when he came out and explained that she had licked something nasty , and would be fine ;)

That's a good update :)

How worrying. hope she is on the mend now . Snapping while at the vets is not unusual for dogs - I had a dog who was used every day in situations around people - no probs. Take him to the vet , and it was awful. Your idea is ok - just start outside the clinic first - or even in the car alongside !This is to make sure she is really comfortable ... try to not move inside until you see her happily anticipate the stop at the vets ...and /or standing outside the door then perhaps walk in & out ... regarding the crate - perhaps there needs to be some wire/snaphook or something on the latch - or if she actually got out another way - a much stronger crate . Once they have escaped - they will try again - and again ... You are very caring owners :)

Dogs are nesters ????provide bedding which can be scrunched and rolled and snuggled into, and this is warmer by far than a flat mattress. Heat rises, so a solid top on a crate or kennel helps trap body heat. Only two of our dogs sleep indoors. The rest are outside including old Gert who is 15. This is the first year she has a coat. She has a 3 ltr juice bottle filled with hot water and snugged an old doona on the porch. She is warm as toast! The young dogs are often found just sleeping out with few and frost on their fur ! These aren't dogs with long fur. Inside dogs are protected from drafts and sleep on old Doonas with a pillow to absorb and help hold body heat.

Cute photo :)

poor old Gertie(in her grey hoodie ) was used as a warmer this afternoon , by the one & only !

good news :)

She should not really be cold indoors with a coat on, in a canvas crate! She has more bedding than I do ;) I am indoors- window to outside open - have one blanket (and a cat) I prefer something like the snugglesafes, as H.W bottles can be chewed/leak, and do go cold. :)

I suggest another vet - have no idea, but any lesion there for 4 months cannot be a good thing !

I also suggest phoning a vet :) It will be red & there will be bruising in there as well , most likely . It could well be like any bump, & disappear in its own time . BUT , at least speaking with a vet, and maybe sending them the photo/s will help with decisions .

yayyy :) Well done !!

:) poor giddy ! here's hoping for calm now :)

..Sounds as if you are doing teh right thing, and I hope you find someone close by :)

is the little girl younger than the others? Does she have any different movements /way of talking ..... is she on any medicines? Dogs experience things so differently to us ... and notice many things we do not :) I hope you can get some assistance soon.

:) ha!

I have NO idea, but really want to see pics ;) pleease???? esp of a toller puddle :p

poor boy - perhaps his eyesight has deteriorated quickly? get a good vet to do everything - bloods, & eye check included

:)

Glad it did help ... and that she is eating . :)

Hormones help with growth & development - remove hormones too early, and there may be effects because muscles etc didn't grow properly . Sphincter muscles , as in the bladder can be affected ..

:) of course !
