Good luck and take it slowly. We found that even after our pup was treated, his gut needed time to recover.
I agree with Jo- from my experience in human medicine and having a dog with cryptosporidium! There are also different tests for parasites, with...
It will take time and perseverance. I don't have any direct experience, but as mentioned above, keep them separate and introduce them very...
We had a really difficult day yesterday. Not because of Chewie as such. We went to my in laws place and Chewie was his usual rambunctious self....
Chewie is only 24kg at 12 months. I wouldn"t worry about it at long as your dog is in good condition and has plenty of energy.
I think people can make it work either way. For us it was easier to have him by our bed so we could hear when he woke up for potty breaks. After a...
Well done Jade. You should be very proud. We are in a similar place to Isla. Chewie is a very sweet, loving dog (currently asleep on my lap,...
Aww. Poor little guy. :(
I was away at a conference recently for 4 days. During that time Chewie apparently did something he almost never does when I am around (apart from...
Well, no, but those of us here who work full time make arrangements for our dogs. When we (my OH and myself) are both at work for a whole day...
Will remember this for use on my OH. Though I am currently away for work and he is doing a very good job teaching Chewie that riding in the back...
Yes, I dread when people give Chewie any attention on walks because he gets so excited and jumpy, and usually barks at them. Then either they...
It happens to all of us. You are doing great (and you are certainly not a failure!) and I'm sure you will have a better day soon. As my OH...
If you do this, I would make sure they use positive training methods only and do some training with you present. A big part of dog training is...
I try to keep the pieces of carrot small and the total amount sensible for the dog's size. Slimy, orange poos are no fun and are quite alarming...
I think the kibble soaking and soft poos are likely unrelated. Soaking kibble is no different to your dog having a drink after their meal in terms...
We have used the wet Ziwi Peak. It is quite smelly (tripe and other offal) so you need a good method for transporting it! I have heard that some...
Also, our nephews came over yesterday and Chewie was mostly brilliant, despite the 5 year old (who has some behavioural issues) teasing him...
So we let Chewie off lead at our local park for the first time since we had a run in with a horrible man and he was pretty good. His very...
So sorry to hear about this. The same thing happened with my husband's old Springer. Will be thinking of you and your family.
