Foxxy, the 5 in 1 series does NOT contain the rabies vax - it contains distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus (DHPP) . Rabies is always given as it's own shot and preferably at a different time than any other vaccinations. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Venting...Offered pup was born...but decided against...

Maggie Wishing For Snow     Barked: Sun Mar 31, '13 5:46pm PST  Demodex mange may not in itself be inherited, but the lack of antibodies to fight off a mite infestation can be inherited. So, it is best not to breed a dog that has had sever demodex as they may pass these lack of antibodies on to their pups who would then be at greater risk for mange. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Venting...Offered pup was born...but decided against...

Maggie Wishing For Snow     Barked: Sat Mar 30, '13 10:06am PST  There seems to be many issues here and most of them I would take as being involved with a less than reputable breeder and Your Biggest issue is the naming of the puppy? Out of everything you mentioned, I would see the registered name as being very insignificant - most breeders want their kennel name in the dog's registered name so I really don't see the problem. I do see problems with a runt being sold as a breeding prospect, withholding health information, a poor contract (to me having to return a dog to the breeder is a sign of an iffy breeder - they know most people won't) and your breeder still suggesting that your dog be bred. If I was in this situation, I would chalk it up to a tough learning experience and find another breeder that is perhaps a bit more reputable. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > Is this a reputable breeder?

Maggie Wishing For Snow     Barked: Tue Mar 19, '13 10:27am PST  Lots of red flags with this breeder, that's for sure! The big one is saying that they have never had a health issue - that is really unheard of - all breeders who have been breeding long enough will have something come up. Like Toto said, championship lines are not always too much too brag about as they can be found in virtually any pedigree. Furthermore, championship does not mean healthy. I know many dogs that easily earned a championship but failed health tests. Breeders who are not doing testing on their current dogs are either sticking their head in the sand about health issues or they really just don't care what they are producing. You really want to find a breeder that is honest about their breeding program including health issues and who they are using for a stud dog. If they won't give you basic info, how do you know they are not lying about bigger issues. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Ate tampon -- when do we go to the vet?

Maggie Wishing For Snow     Barked: Mon Feb 18, '13 8:16pm PST  When you see problems really depends on many factors. It the tampon was just ripped or chewed apart before being swallowed, it will most likely pass with no issue. If it was swallowed whole, you could start to see symptoms of a blockage (vomiting, loose stools, depression) within 48-72 hours depending on where the blockage occurs. My dogs have swallowed things (never tampons) and they have stayed in the stomach for up to 2 weeks before being vomited back out. I would say if you don't see any signs of a problem within a week, you will be fine. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Ate tampon -- when do we go to the vet?

Maggie Wishing For Snow     Barked: Mon Feb 18, '13 11:52am PST  As Toto stated, this can be very serious (they usually do not pass on their own as they absorb fluids and become much larger than when swallowed) and you should contact your vet so they can monitor what is going on. I also do not recommend ever pulling on anything that is sticking out of your dog's butt. This can cause serious medical problems, including rectal prolapse. If your dog cannot naturally expel something, you should take him to the vet and never, ever try to pull it out on your own. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Sports & Agility > Boots for dogs

Maggie Wishing For Snow     Barked: Tue Jan 8, '13 8:06pm PST  Have you tries a different type of boot? Neopaws makes some good ones: https://www.neopaws.com/catalog/dogshoesdogbootsandlegwraps -c-39.html my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

You can buy kevlar thread or sail repair thread that would be strong enough to hold this type of material. You will also need a large needle and thimble. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
