@brileemoot I would just ask what the vet said, or if you could talk to the vet. What was the diagnosis? Was it an eye inury? if so the vet can tell the difference between a scratch ( like from a piece of hair in the eye) vs a chemical burn ( from shampoo in the eye ) I'm not familiar with pink...

@wharley benadryl is not an anti anxiety drug. It's an antihistamine. Trazedone is an anti anxiety drug. Can't diy that though, you need a prescription from the vet

@pressingon2 72 hours is for stuff that happened while the pup was with the breeder. If a pup gets parvo, for example, who pays those bills, did it happen while the pup was with the breeder or when it was with the new owner? It's different from inherited stuff like bad patellas

@licatadorothy84 I follow the vet's guidance. If the vet says it's ok for the puppy to be groomed, it's fine with me

To her credit, the manager did extract a lot of info about the dog. That’s not always easy

@wharley no vaccinations. that's an automatic no more than 6 mo old for a first groom. That's a no benadryl is not an antianxiety drug. so, no Has this dog ever been seen by a vet? How long since someone last listened to its heart etc? It's technically a senior dog and should be having 6 month...

@dtrpogod I wouldn't use a 10, not because it's cruel, more because it might irritate the skin and it's hard to get a nice finish. If you do it when the dog is clean and use a 7f it will still be very short but will have a more velvety finish. Personally, I'd use a 5f or 4f, those will leave a...

@eltucan have either of the dogs had any sort of health testing? Inbreeding or linebreeding will expose recessive genes but it doesn't create new ones. If the dogs carry genes for problems they will come to the surface. Do they know the rest of the pedigree? In theory if both of the dogs are...

@ionut7 Puppies can have stunted growth as a symptom of some underlying issue. Some are little when born because they didn’t have a great attachment site but if he’s not gaining much from his birth weight and the others are growing there could be reason to worry about him. Good supportive care...

@roadtrippin69 I'd also browse affordable grooming shears, especially if you are looking for a curved pair

@curty Knowing her pedigree and what’s behind her is critical when choosing a mate. The more you know about her relatives, the better

@curty Have you had a conversation with her breeder about it? Can they mentor you?

@princessbychrist I'm sorry that there aren't any puppies. It can be crushing. I'd still treat her as if she might be ( if you give folic acid or anything) and monitor around the due date just in case. I wouldn't invest in more pregnancy testing, I'd just wait and keep an eye on her. It's...

@belovedgal keep monitoring temp at least twice a day. I look for a drop to 97 point something. You need to chart it to see the drop, once you start charting you'll see what a normal pattern is for your dog. Many are lower in the morning, higher in evening etc
