Rebanne

My vet has a large x poodle and it's a lovely dog, around 9 now. Been coming to work with her since day dot. So well behaved and of course always beautifully groomed, coat kept shortish. If I was in the market for a dog with coat I can see the appeal, until a local groomer posts pictures up of the latest matted to the skin oodle.

I just take whoever I want out. Only recently has my senior boy started protesting, he's 12 1/2. Seeing as how he's the one needing to go to the vets more often I still just leave. Always have. GSD's and Greyhounds.

if it doesn't resolve then look into adult onset megaesophagus

RSPCA were all about banning breeds until they realised it was "deed not breed". However I firmly believe that if your dog does attack someone then yes, you as the owner, has to pay a penalty. What they may be is debatable and depends on many factors.

I think a new vet with fresh eyes is a good idea. The dog is still in a bad way so I suspect the meds are not working.

well she didn't get all those dogs overnight so who was supposed to be keeping an eye on her?

Oh, blessings on their way to you. Chase has grown into a very handsome boy.

I'd never adopt an adult dog with a baby.

who leaves a 3 month old pup in the backyard for 12 hours?

I'm so sorry for your loss.

One of my Greyhounds that I bred had a brain tumour and the first indication was a change in her temperament. In her case there was plenty of signs and she ended up PTS.

but still no information on why

Might be time to let him go.

It's a bit hard saying you didn't like the responses when you then say "if you knew the full story". So your first puppy you didn't even get? It died at 7 weeks from renal failure? And your 2nd one died from a heart murmur?

I have used Phernergan in the past, for both me and the dogs. Night time only as it's sedating.

yep $15,000 according to the link in the first post.

sorry but it sounds suss. And what medical bills? she's in Australia not America

that is so, so sad.

The "breeders" of these types of dogs won't be able to be found

@MaireadI think you can still reply.

Tube feed them. What did the vet say exactly and what treatment are they getting? What breed? At 2 weeks old most breeds would be ok without a feed for 12 hours which is time for meds to kick in. Can give fluids under the skin. Put some bowls of water in the room to keep the air humid. Use a kids humidifier? Have them in the bathroom and run the shower every hour? Surely the vet did more then say they have a cold.

That's for a 20kg and up dog. Beagles don't ( or shouldn't ) weigh that much. I have heard Canada is cheaper for meds then the USA. I don't use that product so not much help but I have received extra tablets and a flattened box ( for postage costs ) when ordering online.

Welcome back!

this should have all been sorted out before breeding took place. Now it's a case of she said/he said. Sometimes it depends on why an AI was needed. Was the dog not co operative or the bitch or both? Personal choice of one owner? $500 or $5,000 and do you know for sure how many pups are coming? Cause if it's only $500 that means $2,00 to rear 5 pups properly. Extra food for the bitch, food for the pups, microchips and vaccinations. Worming. It all adds up and heavens above if there is a c-section needed or an illness to Mum or pups and vet visits needed.

you could try a slow feeder bowl for her water. I wouldn't worry about being a bit light on, unless she is very thin. You have found a food that suits so I wouldn't change it. Maybe just increase the amount fed slightly.
