crossing fingers the drug will help..... thanks for the update .

How lovely :)

why not contact cosmolo by private message or email ?

This is the BEST Dogzonline thread :) It is a VERY long one ..but has every bit of info you need , plus lots of personal stories/recipes/experiences :) CLICK HERE "raw & Natural ChitChat"

Malakita - why look for canned pumpkin? ordinary pumpkin is readily available :) I think it is used in teh US , cos they don't cook with lots of pumpkin, like we do ...

The vet who did the surgery would probably be the best one to advise ....... :)

She looks so happy and shiny :)

I don't really feel he thinks that far ahead ;) That's why I like him - he's pretty honest (so far) - and he uses his nose instead of his eyes . Much more preferable for me .

I think, that if dog can't play appropriately with other dogs - he stays away from them it would be just horrific if he did that to the wrong dog - or a dog with the "wrong" owner! if he enjoys wave chasing and running - he can do that on a long line - while you have a stash of very yummy treats , and are practicing recall, ,and 'stop' ... that sort of thing :)

Very good :) it does take time ..also glad he is comfortable .

LOL ..ermmm, a non canine gorgeous creature is spotted ! :) Smile-worthy pics - thankyou.

maybe the epidural is still making life difficult? before giving him anything - perhaps get the vet to check him out ....?

make sure he has lots of liquid :) Also , some canned food may help for a few days . canned pumpkin is a USA thing - I just use plain boiled/steamed pumpkin - but rarely for constipation. a dose of liquid paraffin or Psyllium husks. are my favourites Mostly though, I have found canned food and extra liquid works ok :) ( use low lactose milk, and or beef/chicken stock (no salt)

Thanks:) I just have to remind myself he is still a 'pup' of 7 mths - sometimes he certainly behaves like a teenager - other times he is so thoughtful .....

Ohhhhh.. I am sorry he had to leave .he is happy now , and stress free . Take care of yourself , and Lulu now .

G'night - and thankyou .

he doesn't show much inclination to chase things - and I hope it stays that way!! :)

Well- 'the boss' actually mentioned booking him in for desexing in the not too distant future ..... ;)

today - my Co-Pilot :)

Oh..and if she is not aware of just how bad "backyard breeding " can be .... perhaps show her this link .LINK. CAUTION . Do NOT open just to see ..... it is really bad :( headline : </h1>

You will probably get more advice if you repost this in GENERAL- breeders community is small , and is restricted as to who can answer - and the problem is really nothing to do with breeding ;)
