I think she should see a vet today... If she is miserable- she could have an infectiopn- OR something stuck in the nasal passages Dogs' nasal passages are not nice & smooth like ours- there are all sorts of spots something can lodge. Hope she is ok soon!

Good news *fingers crossed for you and your dog *!

Allergies And Anal Glands
persephone replied to Domestic Dreamer's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Hope she continues to improve!! -
That sounds a very good plan! feed her a few times a day- make her sit and wait-- lots of praise for finishing her food...

You have done very well- both of you!!

Glad you were with her to help her over the bridge RIP Kirah

Honey needs some time,some guidelines,and lots of consistency- praise and correction at appropriate times, and a belief that she will get there !!!! (just like a human child who is behind the eightball at school--- baby steps- get one thing done properly at a time ...) BREATHE......................

:D- hope it is something which can be fixed....

Oh,Dear---- first up- are you saying you locked pup in the laundry with the machine going??? :D Poor pup. The noise in a confined area would not have been good at all. No wonder she won't go back there- it was her 'safe' area- now it is not. Honey is institutionalised,and retarded in her devleopment. May I recommend you give us your location so someone can recommend a trainer/behaviourist for you? Very good advice can be obtained from forums like this- but 1:1 sessions with a professional are the best way to go,I think. One thing I will tell you- do NOT cuddle or 'comfort' Honey- this is ,in effect, praising her for being fearful/howling, etc. Give her HEAPS of quiet praise when she is being bold and settled .... It's hard to NOT comfort a tiny shivering thing- but dogs aren't human bubs, and it works differently Glad you have come here- you will get a lot of useful info with which to work!

What's Best For An 11 Week Old Puppy?
persephone replied to ~Aimee~'s topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
;) At 11 weeks she is plenty big enough to enjoy chewing bones! The bigger necks, and wings may be better- less likelihood of her gulping down chunks! Turkey necks may be something to consider as well- whole chicken carcases, or pieces of lamb flap -with bone in. Unless a pup is very tiny, I am scared of using chicken necks- their diameter is almost the same as a dog oesophagus- and can be gulped/swallowed, and become stuck :p This becomes a higher risk if the necks are cut into sections... these sections are easily swallowed.... Not really- IMO-dogs don't need things made with flour You may enjoy reading thru THIS THREAD - It will get you thinking! -
Introducing Dogs / Aggression?
persephone replied to euripides's topic in Training / Obedience / Dog Sports
and------------- your dog has picked up on this- so he may be 'getting in first' best get a behaviourist in- to assess and explain the communication sent&received between you,your dog, and other dogs/humans. -
Allergies And Anal Glands
persephone replied to Domestic Dreamer's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I agree- MUCH better something which can be treated/avoided I had an allergic dog for years & years ..no fun for anyone -

What a gorgeous looking boy - I am so sorry for you, labRADor .

Altho feeding a puppy with diarrhoea isn't a good idea - It is a good sign that he has an appetite Hopefully the vet will be able to help. *It is the usual protocol to withhold food for about 24 hrs to give the gut a rest- then just feed easily digested ,bland food, like boiled chicken and rice, for a while....

I have it tucked away for future reference- love the way it's all explained
-
That's a good start! I only talk to, pat, our guys if they have done what is asked of them

It sounds as if she needs more tests/scans to find out what's happening- poor girl.Basically , feed her whatever she wants and can fit in!! Thinking of you...
