woried about my pups tummy

I hope it's just worms. I don't want to alarm you but I know someone who recently lost their dog due to bloat. Suki posted great information on bloat.

PS your dog looks good and I wouldn't cut the ears

 

NOT SURE WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE WORMER BUT THE VET WHO GAVE HER RAISED MY OTHER DOG TOO SO SHES NO STRANGER... I TRUST HER.

SHES ON THE PURINA PUPPY PRO PLAN.

I FEED HER A CUP AND A HALF TWICE A DAY USING A MEASURING CUP... THATS WHAT IT SAID ON THE BAG.

IF SHES HAD A LONG DAY OF WALKING OR RUNING SHE WOLFS HER FOOD.

NO SAMPLE SHE JUST SAID THAT ALL PUPS THAT AGE NEEDS TO BE WORMED.

 

THANKS JUDY, BUT IM ALSO WONDERING ABOUT WHEN SHE GETS OLDER. I MEAN SHE WONT BE THAT CUTE ANYMORE AND THE EARS MIGHT LOOK FLOPPY.

 

Her ears will look great You will find most of us prefer natural ears over cropped for a variety of reasons which you can find in a search on the forum. For me, its just another way to see their personality, they show so much through their ears, cut the ears and you've got limited things the dog can do with its ears. Anyways, that dog looks extremely bloated. I'd listen to Drycreek, she really knows her stuff

The input I can give is do not feed the dog after workouts. I feed in the morning and let them empty out completely before anything strenuous is done. You dont want a twisted gut, or kidney slap I believe its called (where the food in the stomach "slaps" the kidneys). With a pup that size, I'd feed three times a day...on a schedule. This will help with housebreaking also, get the dog in a set routine.

 

Ok 14rock Thanks Mein.
