Hello everyone! What a great site! Information everywhere. We adopted Laser in early fall but did not get a chance for him to go through normal training (prison type) here in Ohio. Due to virus we had to take him right off of the track. Seems like that was probably not the best start!! I have a few questions, thought I would post them here and then move up into the category specific sections if needed.
Steps, we have large two story house. We have walked him up and down, step by step moving his legs to each step. Shows zero interest in steps. We have done this 4-5 days in a row, still no desire to go up or down. Just keep working on it like this or any other wonderful ideas that have worked.?
Constant urination. Have had him checked a couple times, no UTI. Is it normal for them to go pee 10-15 times a day? He eats or drinks and immediately has to go outside or on the floor!?!?!? Has been pretty good about not doing either inside, but that is if you keep him on a schedule of sorts. Not always convenient when everyone is working. Biggest issue is that he needs to go out once or twice during the night. Makes everyone else a little tired in the morning!
Diarrhea - I read about Owello carrots and have ordered those. Vet put him on chicken/rice diet due to constant diarrhea (dehydrated and weight loss) but that has not really worked, consistently. Vet has us using Science Diet dog food for sensitive stomachs, but I think that is making it worse?
He is great with kids and other dogs in the neighborhood, everybody love Laser! My oldest son is home from school and brought his small dog with him. Mozart and Laser play but Laser wants to bite his neck at some point every time they play. Gets a little scary. Normal?
Any and all thoughts, input or assistance is appreciated.
