Agreed. The best you can do is provide info to them!

jlp8cornell

What a frustrating situation...I have no patience for people like that. Great you are trying to help. If they do go ahead, suggest obedience classes for the pups and not together!

jlp8cornell

BAD IDEA. It is hard enough for knowledgable dog trainers/owners to have pups together let alone people without training skills. If they do end up getting them, they should do things separately with the pups as much as possible. No crating them together. They learn to rely on each other and have a h...

I dealt with a partial progressing to full tear in my old Hound cross. She was 9 when the this happened. I did a TPLO and that decision was the best decision I could have made. She is now 11.5 yrs old and has no lameness in her back end. She runs with the GSPs just fine. I will warn you though, and ...

Have fun with him! I have a Josh son. I am taking lessons with Judy and have loved watching those darn cute pups grow!! Your boy was one of my favs- what a sweetheart!!!

jlp8cornell

Has anyone seen they have a 3year (for lack of a better term) 5 in 1 shot? I'd have to look at my bill to see exactly what was given but I was surprised to see a 3 year shot that I used to get yearly. Birddog: the "5 in 1" or DHLPP (or other versions) used to be yearly. Most places give it every 3 ...

jlp8cornell

I agree....nothing like a cute puppy!!

jlp8cornell

I teach a 'leave it' command. As soon as I got both my dogs as pups I made then wait for their bfast and dinner. Of course, you start very slowly, starting with a few seconds and work your way up. Eventually they get it and understand the command 'leave it'. I visit nursing homes with my older dog a...

It's a Lab

jlp8cornell

Well good luck to you trying to help her!

jlp8cornell

Oh gosh...one of those dog people. OK, if she does obedience, why can she not feed the dogs together? I can leave a raw steak on the floor and my dogs will not touch it. Mine eat together and know they better not touch the others bowl or else. In fact, one can leave a full bowl and walk away and the...

jlp8cornell

There is no reason to combine food but no harm either. The harm with your friend's dogs is the overfeeding. 8/10 dogs are overfed. Pick your battles on who you actually say anything too. There are dogs in my obedience club (and dogs I see at obedience trials) who are jumping on a regular basis and c...

jlp8cornell

Well, here is the thing-- they will choose the cheap foods b/c as Mcbosco says, they have a fat/flavor enhancer sprayed on them. Chloe found some Old Roy as neighbor was feeding his catfish. She ate it like candy. But...I would never feed it. It's like how McD's inject their burgers with a flavor en...

jlp8cornell

Letting the dog choose is like letting a kid choose:-- Meal 1: grilled chicken, rice and veggies & fruit (nutritionally complete) OR Meal 2: McDonalds. Kids would pick meal 2 any day of the week b/c it tastes better BUT, it is not nutritionally complete. Dogs aren't human, we have to choose for them...

jlp8cornell

How cool! So much more realistic. Neat idea..

jlp8cornell

Can't believe I just saw this..... Ezzy- you wrote..... The other feeds you mentioned I wouldn't even consider just on price alone. They are good feeds as far as I know but are priced way out of the market. Those feeds cater to people with a little lap dog that think it is a child and think the more...

Max is 2 yrs old. 24.5" and 60#. Very very lean

This was posted on my obedience chat. Discusses how to deal with overheating. Thought some may be interested. This is good information to have handy for summer..... dog shows, agility trials...tracking....hunting....lure coursing ....etc..... Permission to Cross Post Avoiding Heat Related Injuries i...

jlp8cornell

Denise--TOO CUTE!

jlp8cornell

I would say you have two choices. 1. Take her to the vet and have her euthanized (if her pain is that severe). 2. Take her to the vet and discuss what the problem may be, any meds that may help, etc. Diagnose. Treat. If it were me I would opt for #2 only. But, my dogs are my kids, and I would spend ...

The attitude:
Oh, that is my 12 yr old girl Chloe. She HATES hats to say the least. She did however enjoy her piece of cheesecake! So, I bet I am forgiven

There is (or was) a program like that here at Cornell. If you donated your dogs blood, you receive free visits, vaccinations, etc.

jlp8cornell

Thanks Ezzy. Marrow bones are in all our grocery stores but not knuckles. I will call the meat dept and see if they can get them.

jlp8cornell

I can't find raw knuckles around here.....

jlp8cornell

Ezzy-- My vet hates them because they have the potential to fracture teeth which could progress into an infection, etc. I still feed them!

jlp8cornell

I feed raw marrow bones to my guys. I buy a bunch, throw them in the freezer and give them to them frozen most of the time. Sometimes I nuke them 30 secs to take the chill off. You will hear lots of conflicting opinions about this subject. My vet is horrified that I feed marrow bones. My old girl ha...

Interesting that on the site there is no info on guaranteed analysis, ingredients, etc.

Good news! So glad things are turning around.

jlp8cornell

Way to go Ann!! GO JESSE!

jlp8cornell

I guess you'll know with the correct amount of rest, whether or not this will be a chronic issue and more will have to be done. Good luck!

jlp8cornell

Where are you located? Do you have access to an orthopedic surgeon? Just curious. I am pretty sure radiographs need to be done under which the dog is sedated and the carpus is hyperextended to check the stability of the joint. As you see, rest is not working. Might be worth a trip to a specialist. S...

Nice pics. Here are a couple of the pup I was talking about.

I am with the Southern Tier of NY chapter. We meet in Greene, NY (by Binghamton). Luckily it is about half hour from my house. Some people have to drive 3 hrs! Great group of people!

jlp8cornell

You're lucky. With my Max it is high energy all the time. I can do his obedience lesson, take him for a 1.5 hr run and come home and he still is going. I did manage to tire him out last weekend when I went to a friend's (has his littermate) and they ran and swam for 4.5 hrs. He was still tired at a ...

jlp8cornell

check out vetstem.com. might be an alternative to amputation, if you dont mind shelling out the $$. Doc-- I understand through my ortho guy that there are more companies who will be coming out with this in the near future. That would be great as Vet Stem has the cost pretty high. They need some com...

jlp8cornell

What a cutie and great pics. Honoring a butterfly- too funny!
We had a 9wk old Musterlander come to NAVHDA our last training day. What a nice pup. Nice docile temperament.

Sounds like your training is coming along nicely.

Keep posting! I enjoy the pics...

Half recipe of Satin Balls. People on another GSP chat I am are swear by these to put weight on quick!

jlp8cornell

Buck-- 2nd the Satin Balls recipe. Was just going to post that- good for getting weight on. Have you tried marrow bones form the grocery store. I feed them raw, sometimes frozen. They will go at them for hours. I took Max's cone off when I was home and could watch him. Can you do that with her? Also...

jlp8cornell

I would try and find a club in your area that might be willing to let you come to training days, etc. Good luck! What is the mix?

jlp8cornell

Love the videos. thanks for posting!

jlp8cornell

Oh yeah, it is harder then heck to deal with this kind of dog being down. Have you tried marrow bones, stuffed kongs, etc to keep her occupied? Also, I would still try some different things to put some weight on. I keep my kids very lean but taking 12# off either would not be good. Peanut butter has...

jlp8cornell

Welcome. A lot cheaper to do yourself! Oh, I also have a product called EMT gel. Good to cover any wound.

jlp8cornell

This is an area I would not worry about.

Ezzy- I was thinking if she lost 12# she may be leaning towards emaciated. I assume people keep their dogs like I do. 12# off my boy would be very bad as he always has most ribs showing. I forget some people keep them too heavy.

jlp8cornell

Here is a list my buddy, her hubby and I put. He is a human EMT so may include things that some would not. vet wrap 4x4s hydrogen peroxide (to induce vomiting) benadryl novasan cortizone neosporin pain med eye ointment pepto tabs tick remover small tweezers clamp/hemostat (for big splinters) scissor...

jlp8cornell

Hi there: Hang in there. What seems like an eternity now will get better. Like I said I went through 5 weeks of crate rest with my boy when he was 9 months old. It was heck. Getting him in his crate was a process as he spent so much time in there. The Ace helped- maybe you need a higher dosage. I us...

jlp8cornell

How exciting! Congrats!

jlp8cornell

Have fun and let us know how she does. NAVHDA is a blast!
