Hi @ SteffiS, I put a piece of kibble in the muzzle and Inky puts his nose straight in so I clip it on, let him off the lead , give him a couple...
I also worry about what inky eats. Our last Lab had a bowel obstruction and a resection after swallowing a stone when playing in the garden. A few...
As you know I've posted before about Inky eating dog poo. After the posts I had on my thread, I went ahead with the muzzle training. We walk along...
Thank you all for your replies. I've read the threads from @Beanwood with interest and that and the above have all given me more food for thought!...
Inky is nearly 16 months old and has suddenly become so interested in bitches I feel something needs to be done. I would never breed from him and...
As I have a male dog I've no experience of these things but hopefully she'll now start putting on weight too
I'm so impressed. I run 5K and occasionally do parkrun but I can't imagine running with Inky.
So sorry to read about Moo. It's so difficult when you see them going downhill
I've no idea if this helps but a friend I walk with has a lab about 18 months who kept getting ear infections. She walks in the woods and the dog...
I know from your threads that Red wasn't well for a bit and now still has slightly runny pops. This was the same with Inky when he was eating...
It's good to hear that some good memories are now mixed with the sadness
So sorry to read about your lovely Shadow. I'm glad you've finally found a vet who can support you in what is such a difficult decision.
What a helpful post this is. It's reminded me to look again at what I do with Inky. It's easy to get hung up on one aspect of walking with your...
Hi Katrina Inky used to be a real biter too, I think it got better when I just turned my back and walked away to the other side of the stair gate...
You seem to have come to a thoughtful decision so I'm sure it will be the right one. I'm looking at my dog who this time last year was 12weeks, I...
Yes, he had a skin sample sent for analysis. I did post about it to see if anyone else had experience of it in labs. My vet hasn't seen it in 30...
I'm always amazed that when you have your dog on a lead and their dog isn't that they think it's fine to just let it come and interact. Inky isn't...
I took him to the vet in the morning and they put him on antibiotics as a precaution as he has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. He'd stopped making the...
Once again, a reassuring post! My aim with Inky is to be able to take him to my sister's house for lunch, not his obviously! I take him to my...
My dog recently had kennel cough, it sounded like a cross between whooping cough and croup and he too brought frothy sputum up all night...
