Sounds like your dog has a UTI. She needs to be on antibiotics to clear the infection. You really should make an attempt to get her into the vet ASAP. Left untreated, her situation could progressively become worse. Also, it really is not fair to your dog to put off treatment for 4 more days.

jlp8cornell

If that is truly the case, I would be more inclined to think it is because more people take their dogs to the vets than in the past. We have a lot of people who have been raised to think of their dogs as children and not as a working animal that was bred to aid us in our livelihood. JMO Ezzy Ezzy- ...

So sorry for your loss. You did the best by your dog.....

ditto the pepper spray. A friend and I hike on land owned by Cornell. In one place we were confronted by 3 loose, out of control aggressive Rotti's with owners that were as ignorant and nonchalant as they come. Luckily nothing happened but my friend's hubby ordered us pepper spray immediately. It is...

My dog's littermate who belongs to a friend did not come into heat until she was 14m old. Sometimes it depends on the condition of the dog. She was very fit and really thin which can delay their cycle.

Congrats Denise!

I give my dogs knuckle(joint) bones. They last about 4 feedings and tarter is completely gone from their teeth.

Max's teeth had tarter on the carnassials and he is only 2 yrs while Chloe who is 12 yrs had less tarter. i tried the knuckles and I am very happy with the results.

Walmart sell its for $1lb and Wegman's for $1.25 lb. You are kidding? $1.25/lb. I wouldn't pay .25/lb for this.....

jlp8cornell

Orijen might end up getting a bit spendy at almost $70/bag, after tax

Wow! I get it for $54. TOTW is not much cheaper around here, maybe $10. I wouldn't pay $70 for a bag of food either! Where are you located? (Just saw, MN)

jlp8cornell

Other opinions? Basic care: $525 for food $140 Dasuquin joint supp $45 for annual vet exam. $25 I do my own vacs except rabies. Get DHLPP free but buy Lymes and Lepto $30 for 8 months of Iverhart. I get this at cost. (I go longer then normal because it is cheaper then blood test) T= $765 I am not a...

jlp8cornell

Very good!

jlp8cornell

This is the only line I could find in the test rules...
"A young dog undergoing the Natural Ability Test may break and chase after clearly establishing point without being penalized."

jlp8cornell

the dr said its gingivitis

That's what I thought. Did you ask him why a dog so young already have gingivitis and what you can do to prevent it in the future? I give my dogs raw knuckles bones and they help keep their teeth tarter free. Did he have any suggestions for you?

jlp8cornell

Ditto on the obedience classes. I use a pinch/prong collar instead of a choke. When used correctly, it is a very effective collar and put equal pressure on the neck. Chokes can do tracheal damage...

jlp8cornell

I am interested in why you would want to cross them as well.

jlp8cornell

Congrats Judy, Josh and Miles. You have made all of us with Josh kids quite proud!

jlp8cornell

Please let us know what the vet finds. I am sure he will be fine....

jlp8cornell

i am noticing when i touch his gum blood is coming out from it. Sounds like the dog indeed has gingivitis/periodontitis if his gums are bleeding. That means there is infection in the gums which can lead to infection in the roots of the teeth and tooth loss. You don't want it to get that far.... Ano...

jlp8cornell

Yes, you would be able to see abnormal blood glucose levels in blood work. Could also be liver or kidney disease but most likely if he had underlying problems, he would have abnormal blood values. Bacteria would be present in gum disease and also tarter but your vet said his mouth looks fine. Even s...

jlp8cornell

The usual cause of this is periodontal disease. Does your dog have a lot of tarter on his teeth? Possible gum disease? Conditions such as diabetes also cause bad breath but most likely, the source is bacteria in his mouth.

jlp8cornell

Is the breeder close enough that you might be able to board her there?

jlp8cornell

If they were my kids, I would not allow them in your parent's house unsupervised. It only takes one second, and something horrible could happen especially with a dog that unpredictable. That part you can control... Maybe a solution to them seeing and watching your kids is to have your parents come t...

jlp8cornell

I do blood work on my old girl (12 yrs old) every year. She always has a few values slightly out of range and she does not have any problems. Your dogs values were not that off. You also have no baseline blood work to compare it to so maybe that is what his RBC and HCT count always is. Not all dogs,...

jlp8cornell

Love it! That is a great pic!

Kelli: I just tried with mine and it worked. Silly question, but you logged into the site right? Once you log-in, it will show your ped(s) and if I click on the name, not the number, I get a ped I can edit.

Impressive! Congrats!

jlp8cornell

Could be..... 1. he just got into some kind of irritant. Plant or otherwise-- Benadryl oral and some kind of cortisone cream will help OR 2. Could be fungal or sarcoptes(mange)---which you would need a skin scrape to diagnose.... Fleas do not usually affect the muzzle. I would start Tx as per #1 and...

jlp8cornell

A lot of times that gnawing is behavioral.

jlp8cornell

I forgot to say that he's licking and lightly nawing his back feet also. Thats a sign of allergies I've heard, right? Only his back feet? He could be doing that for a variety of reasons- behavioral, reaction to something, allergies, reaction to pain, etc..... Is it raw? Could it possibly be a bored...

jlp8cornell

It doesn't sound like flea bites or he would be itching his entire body. What I am thinking is that he is getting pollen/seeds/etc in his eyes while he out on his and he is itching because of that. After you run him, look in his eyes. My guys usually have grass seeds and I flush their eyes with sali...

jlp8cornell

I am thinking ears or eyes as well. Mine rub their faces on the couch/chair/etc after a run b/c their eyes are itchy even if I flush with saline to get rid of seeds,etc. Is this happening after he is outside?

ttp://www.amazon.com/Tracking-Dog-Glen ... 0914124048 Glen R. Johnson is the granddaddy of teaching tracking. I have this book and it's excellent. Good luck. Ditto. I also really like the book below, even if you do not have a pup. I did a ton of tracking with Max when he was young and he was a trac...

jlp8cornell

Can you get her out to obedience classes so that she is around other dogs in a controlled situation? Also, considering her aggression, I would never allow her outside loose. I assume either she or the other dog must be as they are fighting. If you choose to rehome her, surf the web and see if you ca...

How much is Orijen dog food where you live?

In upstate (central) NY Orijen is $55 a bag for Adult, etc and $64 for the 6 fish.

jlp8cornell

23" at 45# is too skinny. My boy is 24" and 60# and has most ribs and hip bones showing. I would up his feed and split 2x/day.

jlp8cornell

Looks like he is pretty skinny. Why not up his food and split it between two feedings?

BTW if it is the grain free ALS you may have trouble putting/keeping weight on him.

jlp8cornell

Recently suffering from seizures Bingo. I know someone dealing with this now with her dog who had to be pulled from search and rescue work and will most likely be put down soon as most likely the seizures are due to a brain tumor. I also have another friend whose GSD started growling at family memb...

jlp8cornell

I have never had experience with this condition but looked up some info about it (below). If you cannot access the sites, let me know an I can download the pdfs and email them to you. What I do know from having a dog in a "rehab" situation is to take your time and do it right. Especially since you h...

jlp8cornell

Awesome pic-- She looks like she is flying!

jlp8cornell

Short walks and swims would be a good beginning. If the dogs are severely overweight, you may want to do more swimming to reduce the amount of potential negative impact to the joints.. Ditto. These are prime candidates for cruciate tears as well as arthritis. Higher protein/fat foods keep the blood...

jlp8cornell

Did you look for a specific lineage to fit your needs? YES Did the titles of the dogs play a part? Yes Did you consider the health credentials in the ancestory? Yes! Local dogs? No Ad in a local paper? No On line? No Was it impulse? No I am curious as to what your initial purpose was as well a hunti...

jlp8cornell

Are you in Manhattan, KS? If so, a trip to Kansas State Vet Hospital would be a good idea....

jlp8cornell

I use a dremmel as well. Just remember not to grind too long on each nail because they heat up quickly. Grind a few seconds and then go back to that nail later.

jlp8cornell

Vasque's are wonderful

Ditto the Zappos. You have free shipping and return shipping...

Ann- They are adorable....Cannot wait to see Nitro!

I have had mine for 1.5 yrs with no issues. A friend of mine, the same.

JKP's point is easy to see in an extreme situation, like coastal duck hunting with temps in the 40's, 15 -25 MPH winds all day and rain. Most of the V dogs should be home on days like that. They are too light, too narrow, too lean, too thin in coat and too fidgety. Extreme? 40's with wind. LOL. Tha...

jlp8cornell

On a pond? Come to the coast after or before a Nor'easter, when the dog gets caught in a current and gets back to shore 100 yards from where he or she jumped in. Even the owners of these dogs say "Oh Crap". On a pond? Who hunts ducks from a pond? Lakes! On Cayuga Lake it gets 0-10 degrees with wind...

jlp8cornell

We have a few awesome GWPs in our NAVHDA chapter that hunt all yr long. 2 have very short coats- no grooming needed. We also have a DD who is an awesome field and water dog. As far as working in cold, I have a friend with a GSP who duck hunts in our 10 degree and -20 degree windchills with no issues...

jlp8cornell

Oh, yeah, and I wear a tutu when I'm doing it, too

Picturing that and LMAO!
