Yeah, I thought the matchstick idea would horrify people. It's on several sites but I searched again and could not find it linked to any Vet...
He's not even allowed outside to bathroom? People here who had their dogs quarantined, for rabies but I expect the reasoning is the same, could...
You didn't say he looked bloated before, maybe he is losing a bit of weight? When I rotated my three foods I kept fat, protein and kcal/cup as...
Me too, with the cats being worse. Ours didn't just bat the ornaments, they climbed the tree and drank the water the tree was in. The water was...
Can you walk more quickly? Sometimes walking quickly to get somewhere leaves them no time to sniff.
Oh, sorry for getting his age wrong. Yes, he'll be bigger. Even though mine all knew not to jump, when I went down in the snow it was a game to...
My dogs have all thought my going down in the snow was an invitation to play and for them to jump on me. I just protect my face and we have fun....
That's one of the things the Vet asked me when Jet had her acute back pain episode. He asked me if I had noticed her "knuckling under." It means...
Other than one village dog I can't say I've seen morbidly obese Labs or hardly any other dogs either. A little overweight, some, but the only...
Grainfree is better for some dogs but it's a marketing ploy to say it's necessarily better to feed potatoes or peas or whatever instead of grain,...
He probably is exhausted and a bit stressed. It's a good idea to let him settle in with just you for a few days before taking him out or having a...
Sort of along that line I've noticed every lost dog I've found and was able to put my hands on responded to Hey Fella or Pretty Girl like it was...
It looks like a decent food. Is there a reason to go grain free? What do you want to see in your pup that could be bettered? I see potatoes and...
Probably a mole or some underground creature dug out to escape the flood. If Bear might have helped a bit, to save a life, well then he deserves...
Was told and did exactly as @DebzC . Maybe not always a treat for his name but some play, a walk, supper. I was cautioned about telling the OH...
Yes, you notice in my first post here, it was my VET who diagnosed it.
We sort of loosely followed the 5 minute rule so that allowed 25 minutes and not enough time to be worth a drive to a real hiking trail with rough...
We didn't know Oban had gut issues. I would have said his stomach was made of cast iron. Maybe it was/is too, as his issues were in his lower...
Maybe some back tracking is in order? Back to the beginning steps of teaching sit and stay. It's pretty common for them to get to a point in...
Oban also had a strange alopecia during his gut issue recovery, at least that's what the Vet called it. All his guard hairs fell out till the...
