Healing vibes for your puppy. She seems to have been in the wars, first with worms and now this. I hope you have a crate to keep her quiet in whilst her bone is healing.
-
Does she eat her own poo? Does she throw up or get the runs? What enzymes are you giving and how much? What exaclty are you feeding? I look after a pug that has EPI. She is much much smaller then your average pug (most would say she looks very skinny), her hair is a little coarser then other pugs, she eats her own poo and will throw up and have the runs if she is fed the wrong things. She gets three small meals a day (1/3 of a BARF kangaroo pattie for breakfast & dinner, chicken necks for lunch) which always have enzyme powder sprinkled on them.

My solutions for entertainng Poppy are carrying her around, having her sitting on my lap, carrots, celary and when all else fails taking her to bed and snoozing with her. She has plenty of squeeky toys & chew toys for her cage.

Something not right is going on there. Most vets are more thne happy to have a chat over the phone to people about dogs they have seen when they have a bit of spare time. Give him a call and explain the symptoms and the tests being done etc. I was going to say that the teeth look worn but I think because of gum inflamation they look smaller (are covered by the gum)
-
Ohh the poor thing. Her gums do look very swollen. But it does look like the blood is a bit brown meaning it is old and has clotted.
-
My idea of raw is that it is natural more so then the teeth cleaning. The lamb bones they had at lunch time were more then enough to clean teeth, give the jaw a work out & encourage fine motor development. Puppy mince is much easier for a 2kg pug pups to eat then chucking them a chicken frame and much safer then chicken necks which they would try to gobble down whole. It also ment I was able to easily weigh it and mix it in with the veggies etc. Also easier to freeze up in daily portion bags.

I have both sets of Poppy's leg xrays that Melbourne University did.
-
If your dogs are good with nail clippers I would be doing them once a week or so and just taking a little bit off at a time.
-
I would be visiting a vet very soon. Blood should clot in the mouth very quickly so if she has had bleeding all night I would be rather worried. I could be anything from injuring her teeth & gums by chewing on something to hard, ulcers, infection, blood clotting problems or even eating poison.
-
The fall out and regrow just like human eyelashes and eyebrows do.
-
Can you section of a bit of the yard for her to go out into?

Raised two rescue pups on BARF last year. I weighed the pups every few days and made sure I was only feeding 10% of their body weight daily. Breakfast & Dinner - consisted of approx 80% Puppy mince (minced chicken carcasses), 10%veggie/fruit slops (which also contain food processed eggs with shells & 10% full fat yoghurt. I would also add every few days some sardines, offal, kangaroo etc Lunch - consisted of a raw meaty lambs bone
-
Pugs often hang onto eachothers tails when they are playing.
-
Yes as long as they know what lab to send it to and the proper handling needed for the sample.
-
When are you moving? You could start scent training straight away in your present house and then when you move. I'm no expert but I would be scenting things like his bed, around his water bowl & the door to outside, all with different scents of course. And as dogmad said I also would be trying some Rescue Remedy or other herbal remedies. Your vet may be able to offer you some other treatments to stop him getting so stressed as well.

Have a look at your local library if you do not want to purchase the book.
-
For parentage or for breed? Both I would say would be any age. I wouldn't really trust the breed DNA tests.
-
Yes my veggie slops include whole eggs, including shells, that have gone through the food processor. I feed fish once or twice a wek. I think that just as in humans if something is healthy and been given a good diet supplements are not needed. It is when the diet is lacking or the human/dog has a health condition then supplements can be looked into.
-
For an adult dog being fed BARF its generally 2% of their ideal body weight daily.
-
Nope. That is all contained naturally in the fruit and vegtables I food process.
-
Give her a go on some lamb ribs, make sure you take off any of the sturnum.
-
I add flaxseed oil and sometimes kelp powder to the veggie/fruit slops I make.
-
Get rid of the rice. Hopefully the chicken contains bone as well. Where are the woodshards from? Watch his poo. If you see lots of blood then off to a vet. Has he been wormed regularily?
-
:rolleyes: Yes make sure you charge them for the time you have spent.
