Hope you figure out what's wrong and get the pup back to his normal self!

Thanks, test results came back negative 10(whater that means)so Vet call lab and will re test his blood, another day of waiting....

Red

Did vet say what blood cell levels were?

I guess I'll find that out when the ELISA results come back.. They did a a rapid test at office just to determine if pup was infected with the Lyme bacterium.
Test also checks for heartworm and 2 other tick-borne infections.

Doc played around with his knee and the dog reacted a bit, said could be a torn ACL but dog is young and he really didn;t think that was it so he wants me to rest the dog, in the meanwhile they had done an in house lymes test which was positive so they took more blood and are sending it out to get t...

I'm bringing him to the Vet this afternoon, he's not himself today, he's been laying around all day, not like him at all...

I just noticed my pup isn't putting any weight on his rear left foot.. I checked his pad and look fine, maybe his hip? He hasn't trained is 2 weeks so not sure what it could be.. He'll be 1 year old on Dec 1.. Wife has been telling me he looked skinny for a week or two and a friend that saw him last...

Red

That dog could use a few pounds for sure, IMO....

Red

Most hunters are out of the woods by 11 am and back in at 3 pm at least I do, can you go mid day?

Red

Its up to you and your vet but the Lyme vaccination is just not worth it. Ask your Dr

I have and she urged me to give to the pup since we hunt??

May I ask why you think it's nor worth it? I know someone who just lost his dog because of Lyme....

difference between DEUTSCH KURZHAAR and German Shorthair Pointer From CoveyRun The short answer is that the Deutsch Kurzhaar is registered with a different registration body than the GSP. In reality, however, the Kurzhaar is truly a separate breed from the American derivative, the German Shorthaire...

GTD

What is GTD?

Red

The handler will be provided a selection of training dummies. The handler will be instructed to throw a dummy into water of sufficient depth for the dog to swim. The dog is expected to make a forward moving entry into the water and swim twice. For a complete and fair evaluation, the Judges may ask f...

Will they not get them stuck in their throat ? Im not a racquetball player so I don't know

Hasn't happen yet, LOL, he lays on his back with the ball in his mouth and plays with it.. Just a tad smaller then a tennis ball..

Red

For balls try a racquetball ball, takes my GSP a few months to break...

Red

Any update on Boss's tooth?

Yup, all good, went to check him a few mins ago and it was gone...

Vet wanted to put him under and take it out, good thing I waited...

Red

My pup was lifting it's leg 18 weeks old, and still does 80 % of the time, but, he'll lift his rear left leg and still manage to piss on his right front leg...

Red

My 8 month old weighs 55 lbs....

Red

TKS, he's grown into them.

Red

Give Rob a call, if he can't help you he will get you in touch with someone that can... Won't be sorry...

Red

My DK has done that after a run, pretty funny.. I wouldn't worry to much...

Red

He is extraordinarily knowledgeable and I can't possibly say enough good things about him. I highly recommend him.

I second what Robyn said about Bob, he trains you as much as the pup.... :thumbup: :thumbup:

Red

Yup, he has a long one that I play tug with him...

Red

Still hasn't dropped, going to Vet this weekend...

Red

Pm sent...

Red

coconut oil

Reg or Extra Virgin?

Red

So sorry.....

Red

Thanks for all the reply's..

and eventually the baby tooth fell out.

I hope that's the case.... :thumbup:

Red

Check the baby tooth and if it isn't loose enough to come out in a few days I would have it pulled.

I just checked it and it's not lose....

Red

Thanks guys, he always has some kind of chew item, merrick flossies or other type tendons, I'll keep watch over the next few weeks... Tks

Red

It's there, cute pup...

Red

My 5 month DK has his permanent canine coming in but his baby canine is still there, should I be worried? Thanks

Red

. Cleo really started testing the waters with me (the wifey)

Hi Robyn, My wife is having trouble with Boss too, it's getting old if you know what I mean... :roll: LOL

I think she's to soft with him... Maybe you can talk some sense into her next Sunday...

Red

Red, you see Blue Seal where you live, right?

Nope, don't think I ever have...

Red

Blue Seal Performance

It's made by Kent, so is Native... Have you compared the two?

Red

I just started my DK pup on Native from eukanuba, almost half the price and a much better food...

Don't forget to check inside the ear, pull a tick form my pup last month in his ear...

Red

carrier in the back away from her not in sight..thanks...ruth

I bet she cal smell them???

Red

Sent you a pm....

Red

I started my pup with a greasy steak, dragged it about 6 feet in the grass into the wind and dropped it at the end, took the pup to the start and let him smell my fingers and then the grass, gave him the "find it" and let him lose... Now he knows what find it means and will track a bird or whatever ...

Red

Great looking pup!!!!

Red

I think maybe what you are asking though is what percent protein

Yes...

He's on 24% now, I saw one of his litter mates today and he looked pudgy and he's on 30%, I think my pup is right on track...
Thanks for the reply Ezzy

Red

I think you will find more and more people that don't feed it since the premium feeds are almost identical and much cheaper.

Ezzy, so for a large breed dog(GSP)how much protein do you recommend a puppy should have, and at what age do you give it more protein? Thanks

How is it a nightmare when he's going to the door?

j/k
My 12 week old has been home a few weeks and only has gone to the door three times, two yesterday and once today...
Great advice in this thread...

Red

I have a Great choice 26 in(med) crate for my GSP I will need one twice the size in a few months but I'm crate training so the smaller the better, no filling in the unused space...
