Thanks for the reply Sandra... I think we will be just waiting until he matures... I would never ever go down a steroid road, I don't believe in anything like that.

Hi everyone.... Just wanting some opinions. I have my Amstaff who is 10 months old. He has been in the show ring a few times but the main issue im being told with him is that he is a lot of leg and no a lot of muscle. He is eating Advance Puppy at the moment and I have just started him on Roo meat because beef makes him itchy. :p Anyone got suggests on a better diet for muscle development? Otherwise we will just wait till he matures more. He's my baby and I think he is gorgeous regardless but the judges dont see it... (guilty of being Bias though) :p Thanks in Advance

Thanks Dave.... What type of Yoghurt do i buy? is it just a natural one? Thanks

Thanks everyone for the replys....! I didnt think id ever be so happy to see a # 2 as i was yesterday afternoon ... still bit runny but much better. He is getting back to his normal self slowly!. Taking in all the info about the chicken and rice so thanks for all the tips!

double post... sorry

Thanks for the reply Persephone... I microwave the rice and boil the chicken then cut it up... I like your idea though so ill do that next! thanks

Hi Everyone... Quick question as i haven't had a dog with this before. My 9month old puppy had bad runny water poos and was vomiting a few times so we took him to the vet Friday morning. They gave him an injection and some scourban and tablets to fix him up (didnt say Gastro but thats what im suspecting). They also put him on rice and chicken diet. So last few days we have followed everything they told us. He is not eating the rice but loves the chicken so is eating small portions of boiled chicken and isnt drinking as much as normal (but im forcing him to do so in this heat). Only problem is he hasnt done a poo since early friday morning he is weeing OK... is this normal? He is a bit lathargic (but the heat knocks him around normally) he isnt himself and i can understand that with a tummy issue. But im just not sure when he is supposed pass something. Any ideas?... He has to go back to the vets tomorrow afternoon for checkup but im wondering if i should take him earlier than that. Thanks in advance

I know there has been heaps of topics on allergies and I have done a search but still not sure. My Amstaff has really pink skin inbetween his toes on his feet and a red belly. He licks at his feet and paws. He gets fed Royal Canin, Chicken Wings, sardines, Beef mince and rice. Not all at the same time but mixed up. Is there anything in that diet that could be causing? or maybe its just Grass which we unfortunatley can help having... There is no welts or pimple like things just some redness.... puzzled!

Thanks everyone for the replies, was a bit worried for a while there..!... we have always wormed him when we should and has been wormed since a pup. Will worm him in another 4 weeks and hopefully we wont have this trouble again!... Thanks everyone

My puppy is almost 5 months old now and we wormed him yesterday using Sentinal. This morning i noticed some longish white things in his poo so i googled them and they look a lot like round worms. There was only 2 of them. Should i be worried and take him to the vet? or is this something "normal"? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for that MissMoo!, theyare getting a little better so I havent taken him to the vet yet. I will monitor them and see how he goes. He often rubs his face on the ground and chews on bark but he is also teething at the moment so hopefully its all a combination of that and it goes away! Thanks

They are on the inside of his lip, like pimple type bump things... i think we might take a trip to the vet to be sure.

Hey Everyone, My 4 month old Amstaff is loosing his teeth and i have just noticed some little ulcer type things on his top lip. They are all inline with his teeth so it looks like they could be rubbing. Has anyone had anything like this before? Anything i can do for him? I am sure its got to be uncomfortable for the poor thing ! Thanks

My amstaff is on RC (medium puppy) now and has been for about a week... pretty happy with it so far. He seems more full and he is not pooping as frequently as he was on supercoat... Although its a little expensive, its worth it as we don't need to feed as much as a lesser priced food... We havent tried chicken wings.... i am a bit worried about the bones and them getting stuck

We are trialing Royal Canin Medium Junior on our boy now .... he had bad gas when he was on supercoat but we have noticed he isn't half as gassy now. He also has sensitive skin with flaking not sure if that’s changed on the new food but we have only started introducing the new food a few days ago, I can let you know though. We also feed him mince and yoghurt and also sardines once a week... Good Luck... :-)
