What are you feeding her at the moment?

Personally - and I'm not an expert - I would test for environmental allergy sooner rather than later, because then you know what you're up against, and it might turn out to be something you can avoid. But I don't imagine a change of diet would invalidate any test results, so can't see any reason...

I'm so glad she pulled through xx

Would you be open to the idea of a raw diet? It is often found to reduce symptoms of allergy in dogs. If you'd like to know more just ask - we can give you a wealth of information.

Hopefully it's just a temporary side effect of the antibiotic. Fingers crossed he perks up tomorrow - do let us know.

When my dog was ill and wouldn't eat or drink, I boiled up a couple of chicken carcasses, drained them, and gave him the broth to drink - that really did the trick, he loved it.

In a word, no. Puppies need someone around all the time at first, and time alone has to be built up gradually. Some dogs do adapt to being left alone for 8 hours, but others don't - and it's not ideal. The Dogs Trust recommend that dogs aren't left for longer than around 4 hours. it could be...

What breed/type of dog is she? This might influence what 'prey drive' (actual or otherwise) looks like for her.

How long is it since this first started? I'm wondering if it's possible he had something like an insect sting on his tongue, or contact with a plant that irritated it or similar. As you're worried, it would be worth you contacting your vet tomorrow - they might have some ideas. Watch closely for...

Yes, I'm rather partial to a Standard Poodle. Jasper really wasn't keen - I reckon because of that 'Look at meeeee, aren't I fab-u-lous, darling' vibe they give off.

Welcome to the forum:)

I met K (actually a cavapoo, not a cockapoo, though fairly large so the poo was probably a standard poo...) today, and he is a little sweetie. Very easygoing, with excellent recall, though pretty much untrained. We walked to the woods with DIL's mum's older dog, and stopped at a cafe on the way...

Welcome from me too. I hope your older dog warms towards the new lad soon - it's very early days.

He looks gorgeous in your avatar photo. Did you find the info about food that you were after?

Welcome to the forum. Do tell us all about your dog(s) :-)

Well done for taking her on. I agree with JoanneF - it sounds like she hasn't had a great life up to now, and it will take time for her to move on from that trauma. How long, it's not possible to say, but you need to do it at her pace rather than try to push her out of her comfort zone before...

No, just email it to me and I'll see what I can do. No promises though! I'm message you with my email address.

Hopefully you'll all have sweet dreams.

Poor T - is he any less uncomfortable now, or is it too soon after the anaesthetic to tell? Could the wax be linked to his deafness, do you think? Give him a gentle hug from me. No ear rubs though.

Yes of course! I'd have to put it on Youtube myself, so it depends whether you think you'd struggle with that or not.
