Whilst im not a go onto meds pusher i do believe at times doing a course for a transition plan works so much more successful than letting the problem fester more & more to the point its harder to retrain & meds then often end up being used . I would sooner be proactive 6 months earlier than 6 months later

It would actually be easier if you listed breeds of interest . You havent said indoor dog /otdoor dog,grooming/no grooming ,what kind of terrain walks,what kind of dog sports interest you .How many km of walkiing would be normal

When you decide you want the dog gone today they either go into kennels or too a foster where they will be assessed for home suitability thats just common sense . Desexing will be for the sale not the taking in . Im sorry but your supposed reason for rehome doesnt make any sense at all. If the dog was happy & brought you much joy & laugher then suddenly deciding being home alone for that time period was wrong to lets get rid off the dog doesnt marry up . Who did you speak too about these concerns before even thinking this was the right choice ??Its unfortunate even for the dog that alot more thought didnt go into it after all the dog didnt sign up for this either & at the end of the day the dog will be the one feeling the biggest confusion & i think im all your wording its all about the humans but very little about we screwed up bigtime & have let our dog down even more . You could have placed the dog in boarding kennels for a week & seen what life was like without the dog & made the serious choice You have legally surrendered your dog with concerns you couldnt provide it with a fulfilling life . Rescue orgs arent about offering second chances when people decide dont want it anymore they deal with all sorts of sob stories & crap as it is plus the dog . Reading there form i gather you paid the $150 surrender fee & the form was very clear about foster,kennels or can you keep it until a foster is available or work with them.

All the Staffies we board are so human friendly they kill you with kindness. Obviously a vet check including thyroid level check is a great start. Then its a be honest with yourself situation. I guess also consider how well do you trust your roommate & room mates friends that come over when your not there .Anyone smoke,heavy drink,any burglaries in the home or area. New neighbours,trades people , To flip like this is significant & requires some serios thought process. Human illness in yourself or roommate .dog has been on the receiving end of something unpleasant

Not a surprise at all if people are following the animal welfare aspects of Europe & people should be worried

Get a rehab specialist . Generally speaking swimming for injury recovery is warm water & with a set purpose in mind .

For xrays that price is good . As to a second opinion suggest if you have no confidence in your vet yes . I will always advocate for a second opinion but we are lucky that when we pick our chosen vet clinic we do so based on what they can offer as a complete package & skill of the staff . In your case if its a second opinion then it would be with a vet whois a specialist in ortho issues or regularly does the procdeure otherwise your just wasting money . It may not require surgery often a conservative approach can work but you wont know till an xray . If nothing shows up then consider a doggy chiro /bowen person some wont treat till after x rays but those golden hands & water exercise can do alot & management

Albino is not accepting in any breed or form . Some idiots do breed for albinos & bigger idiots buy them whinge when the health issues or cancer care is required in summer . No different to humans

Most in NZ use Massey but the greater majority use LABOKLIN VETERINARY DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORY (UK) Cambridge Uni in the UK as well . We wont use orivet

! COLOUR Any colour or mixture of colours - but never merle (dapple) Extended Breed Standard of the Chihuahua - Page 13 Colour may be almost any colour or combination of colours, solid, tri-coloured, marked or splashed. There are fawns, golden fawns, red fawns, silver fawns, blue fawns, reds and creams, sables, chocolates, blues, blacks, whites, creams, etc. The only “colour” which is not permitted is merle (dapple). Colour should NEVER influence any judging decision, as all colours, except merle, are equally correct. As above cream can vary from pale to dark Technically a White Chi would simply be a pale cream so if the people your talking to on Facebook cant explain that then their knowledge is questionable . White -albino is a whole different thing & runfast

Ears change & especially during teething but simple reality shes a rescue not likely breed with keeping the breed feature ears . If the shape & set is wrong they wont ever fix compared to teething ears

In my own breeds the colours have different natures bigtime . In Labs Chocs often are more scatty ,obsessive even now . I handle a very bomb proof Choc but we board alot of fruit loop chocs. I find the blacks more vocal The yellows really good all rounders

If there a decent breeder they will likely have your number blocked . No way will you be getting this puppy back . I can guarantee if the money was refunded that quickly they felt red flags & addressed it quickly & smartly & did all the rights things for the pup. Simply put your relationship with this breeder is well & truly ended with no comeback

There is no right or wrong just what ends up the best fit for the dog . Any dog having seizures i would want a Thyroid test done

Just drop his dry food for 6 weeks and stick to what is working & see what happens . He may be the kind of dog that needs kids Gaviscon given for reflux
