Hailie Hey leave my- family ALONE!     Barked: Sun Apr 7, '13 9:09pm PST  We ended up not getting to do anything at all because my hubby woke up with a major panic attack Saturday then we had to go to a viewing today. One of my cousins passed away this past week. His funeral is tomorrow. We left Hailie loose in the kitchen with a gate across the door when we left to attend the viewing and when we got home we found that she had climbed up onto her crate then walked across the top of it then jumped over the gate so she was loose in the house. We have a wire crate with a blanket over it for her to lay in but thanks to a tree falling on the house during the winter the roof leaks so we had to move her crate over by the back door to keep her from getting soaked when it rains. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Hailie Hey leave my- family ALONE!     Barked: Fri Apr 5, '13 9:31pm PST  I give the meds at 8:30 pm then walk them around 9 then put them to bed for the night. What friends I have are all going to be super busy this weekend. I have already talked to my friends and none of them can do it. I am going to call the vet in the morning to see what he says. He was pretty pressed for time when we picked the girls up so he pretty much forgot to tell me what they could and couldnt do. I am having trouble keeping the girls calm because they want to run and jump. Since Bella was never leash trained by her former owner she can be a bit of a brat at times but she is getting better as long as I use a halti or gentle leader to walk her. I find it kind of strange that Bella only got 4 pills and a higher mg dose than Hailie. Bella weighs 58.6 pounds and Hailie weighs 65 pounds. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Taking a newly spayed dog for a walk in a state park?

Hailie Hey leave my- family ALONE!     Barked: Fri Apr 5, '13 7:42pm PST  I wanted to add that the vet put the girls on Ramadyl Bella gets 1 100mg tab every 24 hours and Hailie gets 1 75 mg tab every 24 hours for pain and inflammation. I looked at both girls incisions today and they look great. Hailie has a little drainage but nothing at all like what Garnet did when she was spayed. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Taking a newly spayed dog for a walk in a state park?

Hailie Hey leave my- family ALONE!     Barked: Fri Apr 5, '13 7:03pm PST  What I meant was for a couple hours. Bella was jumping around earlier today as was Hailie. They were both jumping and pretty much pulled the vets assistants from the kennel to the waiting room Thursday when we picked them up. I have been trying to keep them calm but its not working out well. I took Hailie for a short walk this evening just a block and a half away from home and although we had to cut the walk short because of some jerk who wouldnt catch his dog she still wanted to walk more. Bella was the same way when I took her out before I went to pick my husband up from school. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Taking a newly spayed dog for a walk in a state park?

Hailie Hey leave my- family ALONE!     Barked: Fri Apr 5, '13 5:43pm PST  My husband and I are planning a trip to a local state park for this weekend and were thinking of taking two of the dogs with us one being Tank because he is my husband's Service Dog in Training and we had originally planned on taking his sister Queen Belladonna aka Bella but she was spayed on Wednesday as was Hailie. We are planning on putting a human t shirt on her so that it will keep her stitches clean and we have a ramp we built when Maggie was alive because she had trouble jumping up into the back of our SUV. Would it be ok for us to take Bella or should we leave her at home in her crate? There is no one who can come over and take her out because all our friends are busy. Hailie I can put in the kitchen which is clean and I can put potty pads down for her. Bella will not use potty pads but will chew them up. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Hailie Hey leave my- family ALONE!     Barked: Sun Dec 16, '12 10:01am PST  I am caring for a friend's female min pin and she can be a pain in the rump. If you are a stranger in Diamond's house she will bark her head off at you for an hour. Once she comes up and gets to know you then you are fine. She does have crazy high energy but she is a love. After racing around with my friend's other dogs Psycho a higher energy Boston Terrier and their two pups Garnet and Blaze for a while she will settle down and burrow under a blanket that is thrown over the couch to keep the dog hair off.And that is where Diamond stays for hours. She is easy to work with and will go potty outside. She would rather sleep all day than run after things. And she has a good recall for a small dog who has iffy training my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Small Dogs > Small breeds and burning through anesthesia when needing stitches is it normal?

Hailie Hey leave my- family ALONE!     Barked: Sat Dec 15, '12 4:20pm PST  I am caring for two Boston Terrier Miniature Pincher mixes and their parents for a family friend while he is in jail. Recently the mother dog was spayed and has healed up really well. Thursday night Garnet one of the pups the female got into a fight with we think the cat. She ended up with a deep cut to her front leg right at the elbow. Since it was late when it happened the Vet was closed and with my car down I couldnt take her into the e vet, none of my friends could help because they all have school age children or no car. I flushed the wound out really well and wrapped it up with gauze. I called the vet yesterday morning and they had me find a way to get her in today. She had to have three stitches put in. Her vet who is a little younger than I am told us when we picked her up that he had to give her twice the amount of anesthesia for her size to knock her out for the stitches because she burned through the first dose that he gave her before he could get her leg fully cleaned up. He said most small dogs her size and age are out cold for hours after just one dose of the drug but she was up looking around AFTER TWO!!! He also told me that I did the right thing by cleaning it,putting some antiseptic spray on it and wrapping it with bitter bandage to keep it clean until I could get in to see him. Is it normal for small breeds to go through anesthesia like that? She weighs 9.8 pounds and her body is always really warm like putting your hands in a warm oven. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals Approved by forums moderator

Behavior & Training > Any other dogs scared of storms

Hailie Hey leave my- family ALONE!     Barked: Sun Sep 30, '12 1:12pm PST  Hailie is not great with storms and will rip a crate apart during a storm no matter where in the house the crate is. She will also tear apart doors to get out of rooms. I have had to repair her crate several times to keep her crated during storms. I am going to have to invest in a thunder shirt to see if that will help her any. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > My German Shepherd will not gain weight vet says she has no health issues?

Hailie Hey leave my- family ALONE!     Barked: Fri Aug 17, '12 10:27pm PST  I love my vet he may be young but he is great. I have been gone to other vets and found issues with them. One vet was too rough when I had my labs. He secured them to the table the brutally flipped them on their side to do a simple rabies shot and heartworm test. He also made me take off ones collar when I dropped him off for a neuter. He was very rough when I rushed the same lab back in after his incision ruptured. Found out this vet is more of a cat person. The other vet who is the one who was seeing Maggie for her seizures is only good for shots and pushing pills. He refused to do any blood work. I found out through other patients that he is that way with all clients. And as for Hailie being spayed the vet wants to wait till her weight is a little higher. I called him today and asked about giving her a nutritional supplement. He suggested giving her the stuff that my hubby is on because the VA says that he is malnourished. I would have asked the vet about it yesterday when he came out to check Katana's body. But with the stress of the day I completely forgot. The vet suggested giving her two bottles of vanilla boost a day for a while to see if that helps. Furthermore when it comes to me not coming back to a thread that I have started.. I do have things to do outside of Dogster. My hubby is a disabled Veteran and I am his full time care giver. I have to run him to all his appointments and have to be constantly on the go. And starting Monday I will be adding another handful of stress to my already chaotic life by having to take him back and forth to collage. I hardly have time to catch a breath most days. So unless you know me and my life do not judge me. Correct me if I am wrong but is there not a passage in the bible that says Judge not least ye also be judged? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Hailie Hey leave my- family ALONE!     Barked: Wed Aug 1, '12 2:52pm PST  Her vet said that her weight is a little low. She is 24 inches at the shoulder. Her parents are from imported working lines. Her mother is a search dog and her father a police dog. She has been on a couple grain free foods and she still seemed to be thin. She still shows her ribs but she is being fed daily. One of her house mates a Doberman will lose weight when he is fed from a bowl but if he is fed from a feeder he gains weight. Those pics I added were taken a few days after she was put on a feeder but she would dump it out and eat the food from the ground. She is very high energy so she seems to burn a lot of calories. Her sister Molly who belongs to my ex sister in law is the same way but is free fed. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
