Mojopoodle

Hello, has anyone else had to manage a 2 week old puppy (or very young puppy) who has had a rectal prolapse? Puppy has been treated by the vet but it prolapsed again yesterday. Vets advice has been followed, but I really don't want it to happen again, does anyone have any advice to help?

How is the puppy this morning? Any news? Hoping to hear some good news for you and your puppy. I agree, the breeder is making all the right offers, you are lucky there!

Hilarious!

Hi FlissPrideaux, I have talked to my vet and he is happy for me to try the alternate therapies. Thank you for your input.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I will give them a call and pass on the suggestions I receive.

Ideas please.... Several months ago I rehomed a young adult Toy Poodle to a lovely couple who live locally. They have a fully enclosed backyard, with a doggie door, so she has access to the yard 24/7. The poodle lived in and out of my house and used the doggie door when she needed to go to the toilet. Both my property and theirs are rural properties with no neighbours so it can't be a neighbour teasing the dog type of problem. Lately the poodle has refused to go out to urinate during the day, however she will use the doggy door to go out and toilet at night. I have suggested to them that for some reason she has become scared of the backyard and it may help to take her out on the lead and walk her around, and play with her out there. Also to start feeding her outside. I asked them to make the backyard and their time out there a 'happy place'. I wonder if anyone here could give me advice that I could pass on to help them with this problem. They love the little poodle very much but of course don't like her weeing in the house. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Rosetta, I will have a read through.

Minimax, Thank you I will speak to my vet and try some.

Thanks Minimax, that is the kind of thing I was hoping to hear. Can you please tell me what you buy, how you use it and where you get it from? Persephone it always occurs late March / early April, but does occur at other times, it is not an everyday problem. The regular vet I see has checked for all the above-mentioned problems. I just really hate seeing my dog uncomfortable and disfigured by these minor problems so am looking for other options. Environmental is hard to fix, I live on acreage with a huge garden which the dogs have the run of.

Mild irritation/tears. Dog has seen 2 or 3 differnt vets over time and although they prescribe ointments, the problem reoccurs. They consider cause possible irritation from environment/garden.

Hello All, I saw Eyebright mentioned the other day as a possible treatment for minor eye problems. I would love to hear peoples experiences with the use of the herb or complex and any success or failures. Thanks in advance. MP

Well said!

A lovely day for your very busy puppy!

So very sad, thinking of you.
