Guest SaltiDawg Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 ..... Congratulations on your new addition! We just submitted our application and are in the process of being vetted... no addition yet! Your advice sounds great re contacting the foster persons and ask how the dog is doing on their choice of food... and discussing a strategy for change if required. I'm working up the courage to post another question - th advice I received in this thread was solid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverhound Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 And you thought Greyhounds had trouble with stairs - my first litter at 41 Days Old in 1998: More, please! My Joe's favorite breed is the Bulldog. Funny as hell to watch a bulldog and greyhound try to play together!

EllenEveBaz Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Even if you continue feeding the same food your new hound was eating before, there may be some days or weeks of "nervous stomach" from the move to a new home. Or not. Beautiful bulldog pics. Like your screen name, especially with your naval background.

greysmom Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 You will quickly discover that poop is a huge topic of conversation. There could be a whole separate section for it! Color, consistency, and every aspect of poop is the subject of intense scrutiny and discussion. You will know quite soon if the food you chose is working or not. Sometimes you get a dog with a cast iron stomach, and nothing bothers them. Sometimes a grey will have a bit of sensitivity and you'll need to try a few things. Also, most greys need a good de-worming upon coming home, or shortly thereafter. This will usually help in the poop department, too. Welcome and congrats (a bit early!)

Guest SaltiDawg Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 We've just scheduled the phone interview for next week - my wife is out of town 'til then. I'm excited that things are progressing, at least so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SaltiDawg Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 You will quickly discover that poop is a huge topic of conversation. ... As a past breeder blessed with large litters, I have some experience in that direction. When pups are born, Mom licks the pups to stimulate the pups to pee and poo. She ""recycles" both products by eating them. she continues to do this until the very hour they have received their first solid food - in my litters I did this at about age 3 1/2 weeks. Inside of a week, each pup is producing more poop then their mother is! I had four adult girls and eight pups at the worst time. That is more poop than produced by twelve adult dogs. And of course I needed to examine each and every load for parasites and consistency and color. I hate dog poop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
