Doberman Discussions / Re: Question about weight loss
« on: November 20, 2008, 01:09:35 am »
I don't think a 10lb weight loss over 5 months, while on a diet and getting more exercise, is anything to be alarmed about. I have always been told that for dogs a pound a week is safe and healthy.

Newfoundland Discussions / Re: HELP! Clifford peed/marked in Petsmart
« on: November 18, 2008, 05:24:14 pm »
All my males neutered or not..neutered young neutered old...didn't matter they still marked. Mostly at stores like Petsmart where when a dog pees on the corner they don't really clean the spot well.
Good thought for everyone...nev er buy from the lower shelves at a pet store since you never know just what the bag has been soaked in

Medical Conditions & Diseases / Re: HELP ASAP - Kate is hurt
« on: November 18, 2008, 04:19:05 am »Then I rubbed her tummy for a while...I had to go to the bathroom and came back...she had gotten up...was standing there arched (uncomfortable) and panting again...WTH???
I went and got her dog bed from upstairs...she's resting on it now...the shaking is minimal...I'm so confused...goi ng to be a sleepless night but I'm just praying she'll be ok in the morning...
Arching of the back and shaking can mean a digestive issue such as bloat. I would get her to a vet.

Food Discussion & Information / Re: Satin Balls

II don't see why you couldn't other then I think it may defeat the "weight gain" purpose. Meaning those 2 meats are on the lean side compared to hamburger.

The going rate here in Michigan for private in home is around 99.00 an hour.
I hope they do not think they can work the dog and you for 3+ hours in one session? IMO..That is way to much for an owner and to stressful on the dog.

If his weight is fine and he is healthy and happy I would not worry about it. Leave his food down for 20 minutes, what he does not eat stick in the fridge and try again at his regular feeding time.

« on: September 08, 2008, 09:17:36 pm »I am sure I could teach both my dogs to go get a pop to bring to me. The BIG BIG problem I would have with that is once they know how to open the fridge how do you ever keep food in there again?
LOL...I can say I have never had a fridge raider after teahing this trick. Then again if never taught it to my old Coon Hound.
