re: Dog Lovers Thread !!

Ok ladies, Remi's skin issue has cleared up, but he now has another thing worrying us. He's almost always walking around hacking amd coughing. Even though his skin is cleared and his fur has come back, he's still licking and chewing those spots. Could the hacking be from hairballs? He's only ever puked up hair once. I'm just worried it could be something serious, like heartworm or something.

Do you worm him? If you do I doubt he has heartworm.
Not to alarm you but my husbands father had a dog about a year ago who started coughing and making hacking noises a lot, turns out he had a bad heart and a few months later he had to be put down. He was being treated for the heart issues but it didn't work. They had had him for about 10 years and it just came on real suddenly. I would have him checked out if I were you but then I o to the vet over the silliest things cause I am a worry wart lol.

I'm a genius lol.

I got the dogs out of the rain haha.

We have a wooden cubby house in the back yard an the kids don't play in it. So I moved jakes two big fluffy dog beds into the cubby. Straight away the dogs went in tere and have been out of the rain for a couple hours. Woohoo!!  

Don't know why I didn't think of that sooner.

She said he was UTD on shots and dewormed right before we got him but I'm not sure how true that is. I'm hoping it's just hairballs and not anything serious.   He threw up again today but there wasn't much hair in it, just a yellowish foamy liquid. He's acting normal, other than than the hacking and licking himself constantly. Gahhhh idk. I hope hope hopeeeee it's nothing serious. We just lost Pete a few months ago. I don't wanna lose another one.  

Poo I don't want my foster to be adopted out   she's almost perfect and DD has fallen in love with her. it's going to suck when I tell her that Belle is leaving on tuesday

Quoting Silverkoala:" Awww yay for him opening his eyes. Seeing his pics are seriously making me want a puppy lol."

Aww lol. im sorry for giving you puppy fever! lol

so one of my foster puppies from over the summer came back to the shelter yesterday. Shes totally afraid of everything so who know what the smurf these people did to her or if i can get her back to how she was before. I didn't like these people to begin with but it wasnt my decision to let her go to them. Im going to go see her today and see how bad it really is becasue i just heard from people she isn't doing too well and see what i can do and hopefully she remembers me. Im going to try and bring her back home with me after the mom to the last litter we had goes back to the shelter as well as two puppies we have right now recovering from kennel cough

ugh hope you can help her recover

Quoting Moose's Mama:" ugh hope you can help her recover"

i went and saw her today. she remembered my mom and i because she got all hyper when she saw us but before that she was cowering in the corner. i spent over an hour with her and she seemed to come out of her shell a little bit with me around when other people came closer. So hopefully with me working with her a few times a week ill get her back to normal

Well we got kohji back. He's the lab. His owner took him and got him desexed because he kept trying to hump our little dog jake. And since he has been back he hasn't once tried to hump our dog. Which I'm very pleased about.

She brought over their monthly worm and flea medicines, scooped their poo off the lawn and also brought more food. We told her she didn't need to worry about that and we would take care of it all. She's really nice   I'm happy we decided to take them off her hands. She misses them dearly, their her babies.

The husky has been a bit of a brat lately and ripped up the dog pillows I put in the cubby house for them. And took all of jakes blankets out of his little doggy house. Ugh. How can I prevent or tame this behaviour? She's getting plenty of loving and attention and walks. I wonder why she's acting this way.

Can I join? We have a 1 year old golden retriever named sasha and we are getting a yorkipoo who is female. We are naming her bella. She is three weeks old

maybe she's bored? I looked it up and all I find is that she could be bored or in pain
