Lost a PP to bloat. It was very bad. Not only feeding before activity, but right after can be problematic. My dog was fed 1 hour after hunt and then bloated.

gdog

Rick...thanks for the response. Same thoughts as yours...minimal/no drugs....diet controlled. My biggest concern is the weight issue. He lost a ton of weight this past week and not sure how successful we will be at putting weight back on with the prescription diet and keep it on thereafter. That Nat...

Well...my 3 yr old DD has IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) which was diagnosed during an exploratory surgery, being done based on what was initially thought to be stomach/intestinal blockage. Dog is on a slew of medicines and Hills I/D diet (at $57 per 17lb bag). We are 3 days out from surgery and h...

This will get you three $5.00 coupons.

Doesn't look like that link is working.

Nutrena website referral program is messed up as well. Send's you coupon link and then the link states the offer has expired....

Where are you guys finding the Loyall coupons? I've signed up for the email offers through Loyall and searched the web, but couldn't find any.

Thanks!

gdog

I've had 2 do the same thing. Send them back. If your in a rush to get them, they'll send you a new one...charge your card and then credit you back when they get your defective collar. They gave me 2 new collars, not rebuilds in the exchange (so they told me).

Again..thanks for the replies. Wasn't expecting pin-point diagnosis via web pic...just some ideas to go on. Dog is very well all around. Tons of energy, no lack of appetite and the rest of his coat looks really good. Spot on tail hasn't gotten any bigger nor looks any worse. Not biting, scratching o...

gdog

Going to watch for a few days and if it doesn't look to be getting better, we'll visit the vet. Thanks for the responses, I appreciate it.

Get the dog's thyroid checked. Losing hair on the tail is a common early sign of hypothyroidism (low thyroid). Is the darkening of the skin just in that area? Yes...this is the only area effected. Rest of his coat is very nice and as far as I can see no darkening of his skin anywhere...checked his ...

gdog

No on the chewing. Fleas are not very common here in UT due to the dry conditions and elevation...so I'm told(?)

gdog

My 10 mnth old DD has a spot on his tail where he's lost hair. Any thoughts? Doesn't do enough kennel time to rub it off. Doesn't look like its getting worse or better in past week.

The torn nail on my pup wasn't due to the nail being too long. Tore it off in the rocks while chukar hunting...rough country for sure.

gdog

Had my pup out today hunting chukar. He tore one of his nails off. Nothing hanging at all.....broke off right at the toe. Read the above...cleaned with warm water....antiseptic soap....triple antibiotic ointment...wrapped and booted the foot. Should I worry about getting him on antibiotics right awa...

This year I haven't flushed more then one sharpie at a time.....glad someone is seeing some groups of birds. I've logged some pretty good miles too.

Good job.

I upgraded and like some of the new features. I did just have a dc40 collar die on me though. Less then month old. Garmin customer support was great. They 2nd day shipped a new one at no cost to me due to a hunt I have this week. One of the big benefits is suppose to be the new Birdseye maps you can...

Stop the kennel barking first, its whats going to cause you the most trouble.....once thats done the same command should work in the car. If you would like me to forward you in a PM how I do that (as taught to be by a well respected professional) I would be happy too, Ive posted it before but the f...

Puppy (5 months) sleeps inside of a crate in the house at night. No issues at all. Spends time running free in fenced back yard, but is put in outdoor kennel when we are not home. Not long durations...few hrs at most. I have scolded pup for barking in kennel, but 5 mins later he's at it again. I do ...

My son has tagged along with me since he was 6. It has always been his choice whether he wanted to go. Have never pushed the issue. Some times he's game on..other times not so much. In the beginning it was more about the snacks, but each year he has shown more and more interest. Have gone through hu...

I have a dog now that cannot stomach Pro Plan Performance All Life Stages. It's not the protein level in my dog since she does just fine with same %'s in other brands.

I have always been taught that you don't drink o let your dog or horse drink much when thy are hot. You need just enough to krrp your mouth damp, but you wait to drink till you have cooled down. I don't want the dogs drinking much while still running, a swallow or two at the most. Ezzy Izzy...why i...

Should have been clearer in my response.....curious as to the use of surgical glue over staples? Staples for the big stuff and glue to the smaller cuts? How big of a wound can you close up with the glue?

gdog

surgical glue vs staples.....?

gdog

Thanks for the responses.

Huh?

In regards to dose...I've seen a lot go with 1/10 per 10lbs, but also have read that 1/10 per 20lbs is still more then adequate.

Can u start Ivomec on 8 week old puppy? Going with 1/10 cc per 20lbs. Pups not 20lbs yet, but I believe the 1/10cc will be safe?

Appreciate the responses. wow, never knew outdoor marking was such an issue with male dog owners. Just housebreak the dog and tell him no when he hikes his leg on outdoor items you dont want. Not that big of a deal......Worse case he pees on your truck tire a few times, who cares? Not a big deal...s...

Getting a new pup...first male dog. Have always had females. Dog will spend time in the house at night with my spayed female.

Does the new unit allow for more then 620 "points" to be recorded on the dog track without having to download the additional info from the collar?

Not in my experience with a handful of spayed females. Same feed....same amount....same activity...never resulted in additional weight after spaying.

I normally buy whole corn and milo. Mix it up and good to go. Get 50lb bags of each for close to the same price as 1 bag of pigeon mix. This is for homers I've had for a long time.

There is a guy out here that has some of the best GWP around. I believe he owns the only VC FC and MH GWP in the history of the breed, and he just bred her to some bad a$$ male! Thats the rumor at least, and he lives in UT. Thats Matt Solt. I'm #4 pick on that litter, which should hit the ground in...

I have the walkydog and also a Diggler Scooter. As mentioned, use a harness. I like that you can adjust the "leash" on the walkydog so there's nothing dragging or hanging in the way and you can keep the dog right next to you. The dog needs to cooperate or it can be a rodeo obviously. Takes about 1 m...
