Poor Quinn, that sounds very scary. I hate the dreaded pant, makes me so anxious when it happens. I hope that spring is somewhere around the corner.
Where do you live that your vet has never seen a case of parvo, @Kobe? I would probably confirm this by calling other vet practices, and if they...
Wow, you sound very well prepared! Dogs and schools are a great mix, I hope it works out for you both :)
Another option would be to pay a dog walker to come in twice per day while he's still young (not for walks, but for play and companionship), with...
By going outside do you mean to the garden, or out for a walk? If it's the garden then maybe you can toilet her elsewhere - put her on the lead...
Xena gets 70-80 minutes in the morning, a play session in the afternoon, and a short 20 min evening walk (evening walk maybe 3x per week because...
You can even use his kibble as treats, it doesn't have to be cheese or chicken or something fun. I remember @Boogie saying that guide dog pups...
In NZ at least I can buy flea treatments for a massive discount from online vets - a Seresto collar for $72 versus $112 at the vet's for example....
I'm glad that you're thinking about this before picking the pup up, because I'm not sure whether it's going to work. You absolutely could make it...
So many of us have been where you are now @KirbyHawk75 - in fact many of us ended up finding the forum because we were in the small place as you!...
@SwampDonkey what happened to Rory's tail? You've got so much on your plate with your own health and Moo's, it's understandable that a small...
:cwl: I soooooo understand this. When Xena was a wee pup she only had access to concrete and decking, so that's where she'd wee and poo. Once...
@snowbunny had to make her puppy wee in a certain area of the garden because she was in a temporary rental home. I think it was just a matter of...
Xena had this happen a few times over several weeks when she was almost 1 - I'd check her blankets in her crate every morning and there'd be a...
Oh don't get me wrong, it's a bad vs very bad situation, but I was more thinking that at least in a kennel the puppy would have room to go into a...
It'd be a rare pup indeed who could hold their bladder for 4 hours during the day at 8 weeks. I don't leave my adult dog alone for longer than...
At least I'm not the only one who shares too much with my cats! I said to OH "well I guess it's water bottles to bed from now on" :D Is it that...
I woke up this morning to one of the cats drinking from my glass :/ I take a glass of water to bed every night. Have me and the cats been...
If your puppy is going to be alone for long stretches of time (4 hours is a long time for a young puppy) then it's much better for her to be...
Ah this is so brilliant, so glad to hear that she's more settled and eating better.
