As expensive as they are diagnostics can tell us a lot and can rule out many issues. I have worked in the veterinary field for 10 years. Addison's disease , thyroid, liver and pancreases issues can all cause seizures as well as exersise excursion. I do believe diet plays a large role in a dogs overa...

Im so sorry for your loss. I saw this shortly after losing one of my dogs and it made perfect sense. "Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker, ...

No one is trying to run anyone's dog down and certainly not a breed either. Springer Rage was common enough that it was named and was a rather severe problem. I haven't been closely involved for some time now and I can not comment if it has changed or not. At the time it was not connected to a certa...

Any breed of dog who is product of bad breeding can exibit aggression. It is something that we have bred out of dogs for years. I have owned bull mastiffs for years. I have one who is the breed standard. She is quite, stubborn and a gentle giant, she is also a very sensitive dog and I know if need b...

Feeding is a basic need and probably the most Important single act that effects bonding. Ezzy I Agree! My boyfriend and I have two dogs a bullmastiff and gsp. Very different personalities. I feed them, he spends all day with them as he works from home but the difference between our relationships wi...

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. I grew up with a border collie who would chase cars due to his strong herding instinct.He was hit once he made it with minor injuries but what a traumatic experience.That being said,dogs live for routine and purpose. I love my dogs as I'm sure you love yours.I wo...

Maybe I worded that wrong. When I said I can diagnose,prescribe etc I was trying to make the point I can call how the vet is going to treat and what disgnostics they will run.All good vet techs do this. They get things ready for specific tests and or treatments so it saves time.Im very confident in ...

BirdyBoris

Kent[/quote] Always interesting to me that doctors and vets have to see the patient before diagnosing the problem while just a picture or sometimes even less is good enough for non-doctors to diagnose on he internet. But maybe even stranger that owners would ask for a diagnosis on a forum. I underst...

It looks like Ring worm to me which is fungal. Despite its name, ringworm is not caused by a worm, but by a fungus. The term "ring" comes from the circular patches that can form anywhere, but are often found on a dog's head, paws, ears, and forelegs. Inflammation, scaly patches, and hair loss often ...

Its very important to find a vet you trust. I have been a vet tech for 10 years and I have worked with vets who will run tests and keep an animal with a poor diagnoises in the hospital when they should be having the quality of life talk. I have also worked for some who will ask the question how much...

10 years in the veterinary field.Shaking can be an indication of diarrhea,nausea, pain, low blood sugar.My GSP after a long day hunting will start shaking/ shivering.I atribute it to sore muscles and muscle exhaustion.

BirdyBoris

Any other black GSP owners? I would love to see pics

BirdyBoris

Thanks for all the information! Ive been doing a lot of internet searches. He is line breed with Rawhides clown. Sires side has hege haus, vom hessler and dams has Beirs's Evolution. I have had fun looking up his pedigree. Regardless of if it means anything. I know I have a great companion. He is a ...

:) That sounds like a very fine dog! I don't know who wrote this, but I believe it to be correct: "The Field Dog Stud Book is the oldest purebred dog registry in the United States having started registrations in and currently maintaining records from 1874. The Field Dog Stud Book currently register...

His lines mean nothing to me.I know I'm lucky to have such an amazing companion. Just curious because I keep getting asked what line he is out of

BirdyBoris

Post it. Can't help with something we haven't seen. Looks like the breeder is a grouse hunter. I'd guess more of a versatile line than FT line from how you describe him. Black is more common in the versatile or import lines than in field trial lines. Vom Hesser is pure Deutsch kurzhaar His breeder ...

I think I've found my calling!

My last Saddlebred Phinal Chance out of Phi Slama Jama

His breeder hunts wild birds with his dogs. The one thing he said when we picked Boris up from training was that he will find all the birds and the fastest and he has a steady point he won't creep or bump. He is very intense and has a long nose.I just worry as a novice when it comes to bird dogs.He ...

love gaited horses! I showed 5 gaited Saddlebreds .I had a trainer who was all about TWH ill try it!

BirdyBoris

Lucky lady working with horses let alone a show barn is hard work but I would take it over a desk job any day.I showed at Louisville a few times and nothing compares.Being in New England this is dressage/hunter country.I prefer Saddleseat its exciting and fast paced. Now that I'm an adult and can't ...

I'm new to the GSP and gun dog world. I was taking a look at my dogs papers and I noticed a lot of FDSB on his AKC papers on sires side. What does this mean? Also relation to Rawhides Clown on sires side and Vom Hesser. On Dam's side Stolzhafens and Rawhides clown as well. I have no idea what these ...

Bacon your pup is pretty striking as well! I showed saddleseat starting at 4 till I was in my early 20's.Do you show your Saddlebreds?

Vet tech here. Pads are tricky to suture as its easy for dogs to get to them and pull sutures out. You want it to dry out. I always keep skin glue around and antiseptic scrub like clorhexadine. It can only be glued shortly after. Do not use peroxide as it will cause the skin to become necrotic. they...

BirdyBoris

Thanks Neil! I have been reseraching horseback field trials I haven't found much in my area. Located in Maine. It looks like a lot of fun.

BirdyBoris

So I took at look at his papers and on his sires side rawhide clown and on his dams side Stolzhafen and Von Jess are all over the place. Like I said no idea what that means as I'm new to gsp's

BirdyBoris

Thank you! Animal photography is a hobby of mine. I know nothing about gsp lineage. American Saddlebred horses is a different story. We purchased him from Gun Dog Kennels in Vermont. They were great! I don't think he is out of anyone impressive. Any suggestions on what to look for on his papers?

BirdyBoris

My boyfriend is the hunter. I have always been a dog person but have never owner a bird dog. Wow! It is awesome! We have a 1 1/2 year old male GSP.HE spent 30 days with his breeder for training. Not knowing much about training bird dogs I have to say we are very lucky. Boris has found all the birds ...

A muddy/musty odor is also a common sign of yeast. A chlorhexidine based shampoo works well and bathing a few times a week.

BirdyBoris

Ask your vet about Cerenia it was developed for nasuea and motion sickness in dogs. Also Dramamine and Benedryl but they can cause lethargy so it depends on your purpose for the drive
