I'm not much help either except to say don't discount steroids. They saved my dogs life, she'd have been dead before the age of 2 otherwise. They are also relatively cheap and could help keep things under control while you find the food that best suits your dog. My dog was on massive doses but she has been weaned off them now after some months. I hope someone can come along soon to help you with some more in depth stuff. Have you tried a probiotic given with the food?

currently one sleeping in the box at the opposite end. Sort of blinked and went woah in my head because the view had spun around

it's hot this morning and they are all gasping, even the adult with them

I saw the little one earlier getting stuck into the food so I'm not too worried at the moment. I think it's amazing they have got 3 to this stage and did expect the smallest to have died weeks ago. I'm cautiously optimistic about it's survival.

The baby fluff is disappearing fast!

What do you mean by soft food? I think Nature's Gift is an ok tinned food but no way would I be feeding a mastiff much of that. Is this a pup? If so did the breeder not give you a diet sheet? Such a large breed needs a very good diet. I'd be asking the breeder or other owners about diet.

I only ever do 2 puppy shots. 8 and 12 weeks. C3. Then a booster approx 12 months later. I believe you can start titre testing after the puppy vacc's. Not sure what time frame though.

but did they actually mate or just a bit of humping. Have heard of some toy breeds getting the job done before they are 8 months old but no idea if it was really true

put him in your room in the crate. Set your alarm to take pup out over night to the toilet. (Assuming still using the fake grass) Cat will adjust.

What breed/s? Entire or desexed? Ages? Going straight out to the yard through a gate or via a door from the house? More info would be helpful.

It's been there for a few days. Maybe not fertile?

Can you get a dog walker in at that time? A doggy door to a secure area? Feed less in the morning, just a token feed with main meal at night? Or try the reverse?

I wouldn't be happy either

agree with Snook.

I have heard to let the bitch have a season before doing anything, that inverted vulva's can self correct. In the mean time it's up to the humans to keep the area clean and dry.

2nd Dogsfevr, if you take the girl on, all contact with previous owners stop.

I think you are pretty good. Though the disclaimer is I have read of dogs killing cats they have lived with for years. My dogs have always had free roam in the house with the cats, both German Shepherds and more recently Greyhounds. The stiffening when a cat suddenly appears could really just be because she was startled, the fact she relaxes quickly suggests to me, the cats interest her but that's about it. At 10 Hannah's hearing and sight could be less then perfect as well, hence the startle/stiffness. Just make sure the cats have a couple of bolt holes to get to.

My vet said the bone biopsy was not reliable. My Greyhound Sam also had it in the shoulder. I opted for pain relief only. After our experience I have vowed that if I have another with osteo then I will PTS once diagnosed. Bone cancer is incredibly painful and I went 12 hours too late. Never again. Better to go too early then a second too late. The dogs don't know what it coming except to react to their owners distress, they don't think oh but I might have a few more good days, they live in the here and now and don't worry about tomorrow's. I am so sorry for you and your dog.

sorry Kazm but you haven't seen the bitch so are relying on what you are being told by inexperienced people. Fancy not getting your bitch looked at because your preferred vet is on holidays! Even in your first post you said " Obviously a vet visit might be a good idea " Might be a good idea! So both dogs have had all their health tests and they are registered breeders? Dogs are of good standard? For the bitches sake and any pups I hope all goes well but no I don't think highly of your pet people. Over and out.

Tell them to get to the vet today! Sorry but this just makes my blood boil! If there is only one or two pups labour might never start then they will all die! They obviously won't have done any proper care of a bitch in pup either. Or got supplies in. Bloody hell.

might need to look to Europe for one. Try FB/google and see if there are any breed pages

I keep coming back to these words what greater tribute can a dog have

I think $1700 for 4 months boarding is a very good price. As long as they are not cutting corners and can deal with a Mal. Juice I think the OP means in 4 months time they will be in a position to have the dog with them but not currently.
