Sorry for your loss ... Montana runs free on the edge of the winds now.

Poor baby with those hives! Thank goodness you took him right back in.

Yes, it's from the steroids. Mine was drinking and peeing a lot. It resolved in about two weeks.

I do not give the lyme vaccine because of the adverse reactions and also because, according to our vet, the effectiveness isn't all that great and ticks transport a lot of different diseases that the...

If you are interested in tittering and limited vaccine protocol, google Dr. Dodd's vaccine guidelines. That is pretty much what I follow. My labs are seven and only receive rabies vaccines every...

The DHLPP is often a combo shot, but it's wise that ANY other shot as a separate shot. Glad you were able to get the dog back to the vet in time.

Oh, wow...I'm sure your quick thinking kept that from being so much worse.

Our two get only the Lepto and Rabies...and I'm separating them by about two months now. One of them, Dan, had a...

I think the advice to "stick around" is good for any shot anyone gets. Thank you. How wonderful that he is okay, due to your quick thinking.

The reaction may have been from ANY component of that...

We used Wisdom Panel for our two...twice, actually (they'd increased the number of breeds available and improved their algorithms).

I swore Sunnie was Lab/Australian Shepherd when we got her...I...

Glad you got good news, no UTI. Have patience, train in a positive way, more patience, treat, more patience, over the top praise. Oh, did I say have patience.

I use the Forum Runner app on my iPhone to access this forum. It's available for Android devices also.

Urine held overnight will be more concentrated. Since you didn't get it this morning and your appt is not till this eveing then I'd try leaving him till just before the appt., that should be almost...

Dachshunds ARE notoriously hard to house train. Like you, we would go months without accidents and then a single accident would send us backwards. A strict and consistent potty schedule is an...

Good point!
You might want to take the sample in and drop it off at the vet first thing when they open, rather than keep it until the very late appointment.

I used a soup ladle with Jet because she was very suspicious when I tried to catch her pee. The handle of the ladle allowed me to keep a bit of distance. LOL, stuff looks so much like chicken broth...

Good luck working through this. I hope you can get into a good routine and get through the training basics with him.

Here is a site that lists the symptoms: Canine Influenza FAQ: What You Need to Know | Zoetis Inc.

When it originally appeared in our area, the current dog flu vaccination was not effective...

There are meds for male dog incontinence. It's not as common as with the girls and Dakota is pretty young but it would be something to ask about.

Checking for a UTI is smart, but know that other breeds, even large breeds, aren't as easy to house train as Labs. Griffs are notorious for being late even with as smart as they are. Tickle has it...

We had teo malamutes. Very smart but very difficult, similar to a husky. They would listen to a command and think "what's in it for me" if the reward was good enough, they'd usually comply. These two...

Going to be a little quiet on the board this evening with the Super Bowl.

My suggestion, as you're going to do, is a check up to make sure nothing is going on.

Then, if nothing is wrong, back...

So many times we love our pets and often think this simple surgery we just scheduled is the right answer.... but what if it's not? Have you really done your homework? Do you really know the risk...

I meant white...we're fine with sweet

Danny has spectacular ears...but the time I included a food that contained potato, his ears got really goopy, really fast (brown yuck). For what it's worth...

If it's not one thing it's another. Sending good thoughts that the ear clears up quickly.
