I took your first statement to mean that "maybe the person fell on hard times" regarding the original post and the poor dog owners fell on hard time that is why it was treated this way. So my comment was about there are so many resources out there that they did not have to let that dog get into that...

Sometimes people become unable to take care of their pets. I have a GSP that I took from a dying man and someone took my Sisters dog when she stroked out. Its not always because of bad ownership.... I might have agreed with that statement years ago but now there are so many resources to take a dog i...

Thanks for letting me know. Was hoping it was.

Not receiving any PM on here or able to send messages - I tried yesterday and it just disappeared.
I will try again

I do not let my dogs run willy nilly all over. They are trained on recall and use a ECollar when we are out running on public land. I would not tolerate a neighbors dogs in my property and would be having words with the neighbor. I have been on this board for quite the while even though I do not pos...

I would love for to you back those claims that pet homes turn in hunting dogs more than hunters to rescue. There is a breeder in TN that has EP pups says don't want them here I will dump them at a shelter time and time again and rescue and pet homes are out there saving them. There was a kennel in T...

I think you will find that most of us non hunting homes that own hunting dogs be it Sporting breed or a Hound have had many fuzzy things dropped at our feet and to not run screaming. We know what these dogs are bred to do and even though we do not hunt do not discourage there hunting activities. Us ...

gsp-fan

Let me pose this question to you:
Would you rather have it go to a hunting home and it only gets out to hunt a couple times a year?
OR
A non hunting home who includes the dog in all activities and stimulates the dog in other ways?

Great post Kerstyn and Pongo. Keep educating and hopefully more breeders will realize what this disease is all about

Frontline is for fleas & ticks
Heartguard is for Heartworms

They both do something different.

gsp-fan

Yes they have done all that. This is the latest update via FB: Possible Spence sighting this afternoon about 14 miles from home, near intersection of 371 and 191 Damascus township PA. Spotter saw Brittany that looked like picture running down road. As approached he ran into field and out of sight. S...

I would try a Great Dane forum this is quite common in their breed.

Yes we did massage twice a day. We also have a pool and I would get in it holding her and let her move her limbs.

gsp-fan

Yes I have a Bluetick that had this - it took us about 8 months to get her back to health. Her immune system has never been the same but she keeps going she is almost 12 now. She does still have shaking in the back legs because of it but has not slowed her down. The link that was posted is the best ...

You have that big of an issue in Mesa? I have been here 30yrs never had an issue and never used anything on any of my dogs. We even have flood irrigation in the house we are in now (14yrs) no issues. Scorpions yes but not the other. No issues up in the White Mountains either that is one plus to AZ c...

We had a boxer that had this rage. Sweetest dog you have ever met and then bam she would have have an attack. She lived a short life died from cancer (which started in her leg & went to her brain) at the age of 5. She had maybe 4 of these rage attacks in her life. Her attacks were directed at our ot...

What found are you looking for? I am in Gilbert and between the feed stores & Pet Club I can find most brands.
I do buy online and have had no issues with the food and it is cheaper + the place I buy from if you spend so much shipping is free.

Hunt of a Lifetime was setup for kids with terminal illness - you might try asking them if they know of
a org that does it for adults.

We have hardwood through the whole house except for the kitchen & baths. We went with a hand scrapped (not shiny) in hickory (nice hard wood) in a darker color. Our dogs run all over it - when a scratch occurs I just use a color marker to fill it in. If you put down area rugs make sure you a jute fe...

Are you looking for a buddy for your GSP? A friend has a lab & GSP that get along & hunt so great together

Yes a dog can recover but the immune system is never the same. My Bluetick was afflicted with this 5 yrs (she is 11 now) ago. It takes a lot of work to bring the dog back but she is fully recovered from it. 13yrs old is pretty old for a hound dog and I suspect that might have done something with rec...

Posted this on FB and sent to some Pointer Rescue's in case he was pulled from a shelter.
Good Luck

gsp-fan

Ezzy - You were missing the point of my statement: A good rescue will be there to take the dog back if something happens and the adopter can not continue to care for the dog - not control. A good rescue will be there for the adopter if they have issues ex: training, behavioral etc. A good rescue car...

gsp-fan

Why does your friend not go to the shelter and adopt the dog? When you adopt from a rescue they assume you will be the one that takes care of that dog for the rest of their lives and if you can not then the dog is returned to the rescue. Not you get the dog and give it to someone else. Some rescues ...

gsp-fan

That sounds about right - I would go with getting them from the vet vs PetMeds just in case there is an issue with the meds the vet will be more likely to take care of it. Also we only buy the 15 pack and it lasts us a month. We do not give everyday and it is only to get her over the hump until the ...

My Bluetick has the same level of itching as your dog scabs/open sores etc. It look less than a week for the Atopica to take hold.

gsp-fan

IMO rescues are a joke in alot of way. You have people who have to say it's okay for you to adopl a dog when they haven't a clue what they're doing. What makes them the expert? Because they say so. It's about money. In this statement I have to assume you do not know the workings of rescue. For those...

Great news to report: WGSPR (WI GSP Rescue) is taking Sammie and they have a foster home already setup for her

Finalizing the paperwork and getting her moved as we speak.
I love when a plan comes together - Thanks Arlette for letting me know so we could get it done.

That was a rescue in Deer Park. I can assure you the rescue link provided is not the same place.

The biggest thing that drives what I feed my dogs is that is all USA ingredients & manufactured here. There are only a handful of companies
that do that. I am willing to pay more for my dogs food to support USA companies.

Have your parents taken the dog to the vet to see if it is sick? Years ago we had a fawn boxer at the age of 4 she did exactly what you are describing with our dogs - out of the blue she would attack them. After 3 times we took her to the vet to have her checked out - she had cancer in her leg - we ...

I have a Bluetick that was diagnosed with it 2yrs ago. It took us a good 8 months to get her back into shape. Here is a link that explains it really well and we followed most of the things they suggest. We also know that it can come back at any time. http://www.bobmckee.com/Client%20Info/Neurology/P...

Have you tried contacting the GSP Rescue to see if anyone has lost a dog? I know there are quite a few
lost dogs right now in IA & MI area.

I would stay away from the hamburger to much fat even when boiled and use white meat not dark due to the fat in dark meat. See if you can find chicken breast on sale. I have just finished going through this with my GSP. I microwave my white rice and boil the chicken. Not sure of your dogs weight but...

I am pet home owner of a GSP, EP and 2 hounds and am dedicated to these breeds even though I do not hunt or field trial my dogs. Our dogs our walked 8-10 miles a day and we work on there feather or fur skills everyday. They are all fully trained to hunt. My husband and I are lucky enough to be young...

We found out my dog was highly allergic to steroids and it almost killed her

That is why we looked for other alternatives and I mentioned the local honey idea

Ken - I am sorry for the misfortunes you have had BUT I must take exception to some of the things you have written. I can address these exceptions because I have first hand knowledge - you see I own a dog from you and I live in Arizona. I have attended many field trails in AZ as an observer - To cal...

Wow, that’s tough. I know that more than one club puts on events in the White Mtns. Which club was it?”

When nothing else has changed in your dogs life but the formula of the dog food has changed then it must be the dog food. Like I said in my above post (which I notice the Canidae rep did not address) - I was feeding 4 dogs which are 4 different breeds and they all became sick on the new Canidae dog ...

gsp-fan

We also had issues with Canidae's new food. I had been feeding Canidae food to 4 dogs for years before the change and all 4 got sick on the new stuff. I had enough old forumla in stock to make my switch over a 2 month timeframe. Towards the end of the switch over there stools were very loose and the...
