Today Brisket got some in home training which he did pretty well with. Marking and treating so that he knows good things happen when he sees the scary things, like this tiny woman who came to the house. Or the six month infant who can crawl. Everything was going good until she turned to leave and he started lounging at her. I guess Brisket thinks he's in prison

Ragnar Gunvald posted:Puppy has Pneumonia.. Food allergy poo poo is literally the worst, just rolled fuckin snake eyes on that one  Sorry about the pup, at least you (most likely) know the issue now. As far as the leg, she probably just pulled a muscle if she was running around like a maniac, is she still limping today? My dog had a similar incident a few days ago but I gave him a quick leg massage and it must have just been a cramp or something becuase he was totally fine afterwards, as soon as I saw him lifting his leg up I was like "God not another loving vet visit" because we just spent like 2 grand on some teeth pulling.

She's not limping at all today. She's been fine luckily so was just a pulled muscle by the looks of it, will be keeping an eye on her. My Partner did her phone snatched today while we was out though so we're having a great time right now.

Hoping that Freya is back to 100% soon. Newton continues to be a good boy. He had hookworm but got treated for it and they’ll check again at his next vet appointment. He came to Easter, everybody loved him except my cousins ornery ancient pitbull who decided he was too close to the kids when all the kids walked up to him and ripped out some of his neck fur. Newton was unfazed and still wanted to try to be buddies with the pitbull. I was very much fazed. He has a favorite toy which is a big knotted rope, his very favorite game was to attack and chew on the leash when it was time to go inside (partly because it was fun, partly because he didn’t want to go inside), so I got him to redirect his violence to the rope. It’s the first thing he really loves to tug, grab, and thrash around like a mace and club me in the shins with. Neeeeeyow zoom snap chomp https://i.imgur.com/4W6dAV5.mp4

I'm proud of Newton for you tbh, if he had a pitbull take some hair out and it didn't bother him at all that's kinda huge. Shows how good of a job you're doing with him. Freja is every much on the mend. She's finished her antibiotics now but I think it may not be enough. Im going to see how she is for the next couple of days and maybe call the vets again but she is much better than she was. No more coughing, wheezing and her temp is almost back to normal now too

Does anyone have experience with Hypoallergenic dog foods? We just switched Freja as per the Vet and trying to narrow down what was going on with her... However, her poops are giving me concern. They went from regular and healthy looking to yellow/green and very wet, to half as often, maybe once a day and very, very hard. She's not constipated, but I think she may be getting there and I'm wondering if it's something that's somewhat normal with these types of food?.. I'm gonna give it a few more days as it's only been a week so far and it's still not leveled out yet but if it gets worth it I'm gonna be calling the vet again on Monday.

Did you switch cold turkey? That can cause problems till the dog gets adjusted to the new food.

Solid poops are good, as long as your dog doesn't have any trouble passing them and you're making sure she has plenty of water. Regular cheap/consumer foods are fluffed with a lot of semi-digestible trash that makes for big soft poops, probably what you're seeing is normal healthy dookie.

Little Bear had his knee surgery last week. Torn ACL and meniscus. He's such a trooper! After surgery:  At home the next day:  Day three, all is good and we are happy now:

Welp, our 18 year old deaf, senile Chihuahua is scheduled for an eye removal tomorrow morning. His remaining eye is 90% blind already. It's no surprise, because he's spent a lifetime abusing his eyes, running them into things. It was just a matter of time before he went fully blind. Anyone got advice for caring for a blind, deaf, old dog? He still loves cuddles and eating, so we're not in any hurry to put him down, which is both a blessing and a curse I suppose. His dumb rear end will probably live another 5 years to inconvenience us as much as possible.

if he's like my elderly schnauzer who also can't see any more, he may have problems recognizing where he is and where he needs to go/how to get there for things like water and the dog door if you have one so you have to be kind of proactive to that, coax him/carry him to water from time to time just to make sure he's not doing the stoic dog thing they do and hiding how bad off he is.

From 2005 to 2022 I had a mini dachshund named Milo. We had family dogs before him but he was the first that was just mine. I was 19 and I got him from my mom for christmas. It's almost been 2 years (July) since he's been gone. I needed healing time, but I knew I wanted another dog eventually, another mini wiener. The past few weeks I've been checking out some breeders in my state, talked to a few, got some tips and leads and such, ended up finding a breeder an hour away with some pups that were a few months old, including a boy black & tan smooth. We had planned to go this past saturday, but the breeder had a pregnant dog with a c-section scheduled for sunday that ended up in early labor friday night, so they had an emergency c-section a day early. It did not go well, so we didn't come by. Breeder said wednesday would be ok, I took a half day from work today and we headed over there this afternoon. He's adorable. He's very polite and friendly, he paid a lot of attention to my wife at first but eventually he just cuddled up to me and stayed like that. He was really comfortable with me, let me hold him and just relaxed with me. He had 2 sisters with him and they just ignored me, haha. We're coming back in a few weeks to pay for him and get him.
