Teebs

You have to stop stealing my dog!!! :D kaos sounds the same!!

Ok, home from the vet He has a VERY sore tummy, he was not happy at all to be there (vet even picked up on this, normally he is doing anything he can to get to the lolly jar! this time he didnt care less about it) No temp. she poked him up the bottom (ewww) and said there is nothing in there she can feel - He is on no food for a while, and see how he goes, if he is still sick they want to do more tests on him, but at the moment she feels it is a bit to much, so lets hope for a good 24 hours with him! She isnt worried about kaos, said to keep an eye on her, it should clear up on its own, give her a ring if it doesnt and she will get some meds for it

RIP Dottie I am sorry for your loss

I am sorry

and no

I was in no way suggesting he may be deprived, but not knowing your dogs and his issues (as others obviously do) it helps to know a little bit more about them before offering suggestions.I hope you and your vet get to the bottom of it. Sorry Toohey - I know the dramas that happen on DOL with Raw feeding and what not, i dont want to get into that, i dont want to feed it and wont feed it. I dont want to have to get into a big fight over why i chose that I have posted a few times about him, he has been eating everything since day one, i have done all i can to keep him safe, yet he sstill finds things It isnt boredom, he has so many things to do, and when i am not so busy with work, he gets a good walk every second day (Kaos goes the other days) and he and kaos play all day (so neighbour has told me!) so it isnt lack of exersise (and when i walk him he usually wants to go home 5 mins into the walk) I am more worried about him then Kaos at the moment. that is why i brushed that off. she if fine within herself, driving me mad, but he is very down. Anyways sorry if i came across rude. Im heading to bed with a stinky dog

he has been pooping, he is VERY down tonight, came into the kitchen when i got some food, but wasnt interested Vets tomorrow. The cut foot was a while ago, i will have a chat to vet about it as well. I am more worried about a blockage then anything else. Just a bad feeling i have. Cant get to the vets till after work, depending on how he goes through the night, i will get dad to take him, i rather be there to listen, dad wont know what to tell and is half deaf anyways - on top of that he wont be able to get At out of the yard without kaos going mad - Where i can take them both and not have her going off her head at home. Had a good chat to Suz and she helped a bit, he is in my bed tonight (and he STINKS!! If that isnt love i dont know what is? ) so i can keep a close eye on him (he sleeps with his head on my neck, so i can tell if he has any trouble) Stoopid dogs!

Thank you

Thanks Nic ;) You can stay, but only if you can cook?

One thing i havent thought of - Not blood (he peed in the garage yesterday ;) He also pees on the wall out the front when we go for a walk) Might mention it - he is fine today, just stuffed from the heat, as we all are!! Can you describe the diet you were using? What do you give him that he is allowed to chew? Does he get big recreational bones? When my pup was going through her chewy stage I'd give her things like raw carrot, celery and pieces of fruit. Still do.What about big rawhide chews? Maybe not his, but why has your girl got thrush? Something must be missing, her immune system must not be working at it's best.Is there any reason you can't change the raw meat to meat on the bone? What is the grain content in Nutro? toohey, cant remember the diet, it was 3 years ago, I wont be going back to doing raw foods, i am happy with what they are fed now What do I give him to chew? EVERYTHING, this isnt a dog that has nothing to play with, he has heaps of toys, bones, treatballs, kongs, iceblocks with treats in them, he has stuff toys and things, but they all stay inside for supervised play. He has been going through his chewy stage since he was 8 weeks old (4 this year) I know a LOT of bts who are all like this, no matter what food they are on, how many toys they have and how much exercise they get. no idea about the grain content, i dont have a packet here (gets tipped into a bin and package is thrown away) (i am sure someone will have some around they can look up if you want?) He did a yard check and he was in the corner last night when he was sick - There are bits of kaos' pool where he was sick, so he has had a chew on that (bugger if i know when? the pool is kept in the other half of the yard they can not get to unless i am out with them?) so it is that he has eaten I dont know why kaos is like she is, we will be heading to the vet this week and have a check up, will chat to him, i love my vet and he knows my dogs inside out, if he thinks it is the food then i will change. Oh, meat on bone is good for when i am home, At is food aggressive and wont let kaos near him when eating a bone, she also wont eat a bone unless i am sitting out with her (even if At is not in the yard). So it isnt something i can give for dinner every day. I dont have the room, or money to build another run to keep them apart during the day - so i can not give them bones

nope, wont go into raw/natural diet - I tried it once and hated doing it, the dogs coat went to shit - they are doing GREAT on the food i am feeding them - This is the first time in (almosst) 2 years I have had any medical problems with kaos, so I think that is pretty good And ditto - he is a shocking dog - he finds things that no one else can find and eats them, they have no bedding now (well, they have their beds, but no blankets - Summer now, so ok, have to work something out for when winter comes) due to him eating it (do a search for our last vet trip - he got his blankie stuck coming out of his bottom and i had to take him to the vets, still getting teased about it whenever i am in there!!) I am 100% sure that this problem is not his diet ;)

They are on nurto and fresh raw meat (when I remember to get it out of the freezer the night before ;) ) Never had problems with kaos, only this infection - (she did cut her paw open, but nothing health wise) At is At, he eats everything and has always been like it, no matter what his diet is, his family are all the same. he seems ok this morning, he just kicked me out of bed to sleep on my pillow - so all is normal... might go curl up in the crate for a few more hours sleep!

;) Boxa I am never take my eyes off him, and nothing is missing - He seems ok today, I am not feeding him today, will just see what happens, any sign of him being sick and i will take him to the vets Kaos also has another yeast infection she has stuff all over her girly parts, ARGH

Just spent the last 2 hours sitting outside with Atlas The night before last he spewed a pile of crap up, i am actually starting to think someone is throwing rubbish in my yard, there was a pileof plastic and i have no idea where from? he was ok last night, but this morning found some vomit on the spare bed (bet you are glad you didnt stay the night here now, hey Ruger?) i dont know what dog it belongs to Tonight he he heaving, but nothing comming out, his tummy is VERY tight, and he is cowered down low - He is also stretching a lot (no idea if that means anything? but something i did notice) have him crated in my room tonight, vets afterhours number on stand by, if he is still sick tomorrow, we will be off to the vets - Vet always tells me to wait it out, wont be doing that this time - i want something done I did a bit clean upof the yard a few months back, there is NOTHING he can eat in there, all the toys i check all the time, if they are getting old and falling apart they go in the bin, i have no ideawhat it is ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Warley, i will have to join you in the mental home - I still see my brother. So i am sure you did see her there last night

Oh Warley I am so sorry, I have been thinking about her all day, wondering how she went

I am so sorry

OMG I dont even know what to say I was just telling someone today about my Fav Client I amso sorry

i just saw this - hope he is ok!!

Once again I am sorry - RIP :rolleyes:

shh, dont bring this thread back! :rolleyes: I havent taught her! It was driving me mad when I was in a cast and unable to walk, now i am up and about it isnt so bad :rolleyes: I am such a lazy trainer!

I cheated I got a engraver from bunnings for $13, it has a file attachement thingy, and i use it (another DOLer put me onto it!) I LOVE it!! At wont let me touch his nails, he gets so upset, that it got the the stage i would dump him at the vets and leave the room so we wouldnt upset eachother I can sit here every night and the engraver thingy and he does not care at all!! His nails are usually horrible, long and yucky, they are still a bit long, but are looking heaps better!!

What a cutie!! Nothing cuter then a BB puppy! I need to find our puppy photos of Duke

can you post a photo? PLEASE????
