    Healthy Dog Hyper-Interested In Wounded Dog

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    Posted

    I've heard and seen pics of dogs within the same family being very nurturing and "nurse-y" to each other when one is injured. But I've also heard of the opposite situation. If you're uncomfortable with Zola's interest in Brin, I think you should trust your gut. You know your dogs best. I absolutely separate my dogs with baby gates if one is recovering or even not feeling well.

     

    Hope your sweet Brin continues to recover well.

    Maggie has quite a vast vocabulary of words she understands. B) And multiple words for similar meanings. ;) For instance the following list (not in any particular order)all mean "stop what you're doing".

    - stop

    - leave it

    - seriously!

    - seriously?

    - what the heck!

    - cut it out

    - nononononono

    - that's enough

    -what the #$@%!!!!!

    - what have you got?

    - is it still alive?

    - drop it

    - hey!

    - AHHHHHH!!!!

     

    Pure genius! :hehe

    Questions About Giardia- Update Post # 30

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    Sam the mutt pup came to us as an about 9 week old with a raging case of giardia that took a while to correctly diagnose. Once the vet was on to it, Flagyl was prescribed. Most of the symptoms abated but it came back full strength after 8 days or so. Even though the SNAP was negative, I was sure it was still the giardia and urged the vet to prescribe something else. Did that, symptoms abated but it came back. A few days later, re-tried the SNAP and it came back positive. We danced this dance for 5 months. Finally, 3 SNAP tests in row came back negative and we were done with giardia. Poor Sam had a very sickly puppyhood. Giardia is very sneaky. I'm still crazed about the dogs drinking standing water outside. Our vet says that's where most dogs come in contact with it.

     

    Hope your pup feels better soon!
