The pic is a bit overexposed...but it could be roundworms (spaghetti like?). If so, roundworms usually require TWO dewormings (if not more) in order to shut down the lifecycle...the deworming kills the adults but not the eggs, so a month or so later, more adults. SO it's not that he got them again, but that you didn't totally eradicate them the first time. Quote: Originally Posted by deege39 If you live in an apartment, or if you...

I am not a wingnut but you did a very good of demeaning me. I am very, very tired of some people blaming breeders for the deaths of shelter dogs. It is unfair and completely wrong, plus it is a horrible thing to say to someone -- that they contribute to the...

I hope that recommendation was after the vet examined the dog. Perhaps your vet will suggest the same after examining your dog. Constipation isn't near as common in dogs and people. Nor is bolting down things and getting blockages common in people. Forget the home remedies until the vet sees your dog.

The blood test results were good and she's finally feeling better! So I guess it was just a bug of some kind. She is still taking her meds. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. Thanks!

It was not my intention to offend anyone on this forum and with the exception of one member that unjustly disrespected other members, I have never written a harsh word to anybody. I am a member of many dog forums and thank God have never invoked such anger and hostility. I am truly shaken by the reaction to my post and after rereading it, I do see that I could have been a whole lot better at choosing my words so I humbly apologize for the...

I think Natural Balance is an "all life stages" food. So you could give it to your puppy, no problem. Many large-breed owners do not feed puppy food at all anyway. Innova is an excellent food. How quickly did you do the food switch? He may need more time to get used to it. Runny stools can also be caused by feeding too many calories for the dog's needs. The large-breed formula might be more calorie dense than the small...

Please don't take the comment of one person to reflect the beliefs of the entire forum. I also prefer people choose a shelter animal before a breeder simply for the number of dogs in a shelter and because mopst breeders aren't as responsible as you have been, but I do give you props for breeding responsibly. you did all the proper testing, you had a mentor, you consuted with your vet... you are not a BYB'er or some fly by night...

I'd stay away from aspirin. I agree with the joint supplements and the adequin. One more thing make sure your dogs are not overweight. How do you tell? Here is a chart to help determine if your dog is at a good weight.... http://www.placervillevet.com/canine...0condition.htm

lulusmom .... No I will not get my dogs fixed until I feel like I want to. I breed responsible and the pups get a good home. With my family members at least I know they are taken care of and I can see them anytime I want. If one of my family members decides they NO LONGER want the pet I would gladly take the pup back into my home because I would never let one of my pups go to a pound. I care to much about my dogs and would never let anything...

Yeah, the Hurricane dumped water on us the entire day before this all happened... So, with his poor eating habits lately and on-top of the fact he couldn't poo in the rain, I'm pretty sure that was the cause of this bug. He's been drinking plenty of water, he ate very well and since that first episode the other morning, he hasn't had any more watery-poo or thrown-up. His fever is gone and so is the chills... Thank...
