I kept Cody in for the rest of the day, and went and got him saline drops. By dinner time I checked him, and all was clear. So it must of been all the dust flying around. Thanks for the advise.

I have an 8 month old lab. I let him out this morning, and he came in with red exposed on the bottom part of his eyes. I live in the dust bowl of oklahoma, and everybody in this area is suffering from allergies this time of year. As our grass is all dried up, and we have nothing but dirt for...

I so don't understand this concept. I am researching on the net for a Japanese Chin, as you may know mine passed yesterday. Anyhow what suprises me the most is that these dogs are just as expensive as purebred. The breed i found is a yorkie/maleteese called a Morkie and asking $950. My...

How do you know if you get a reputable breeder? I thought I did. She had all the certifications USDA, talked to others who got pups, etc.

Abby didn't make it. I just feel terrible. I just got off the phone with the breeder, and she is going to give me my $ back, and a new dog. She doesn't have any now, but pretty sure her other female, is preg. So my poor little Abby is gone.

I emailed the breeder first thing this am and tried to call, but haven't heard back yet. I just called the vet, Abby is still hanging on, but still weak. The vet will call with blood results when she gets back from lunch. I'm looking at this as positive news. She is holding her head up, and...

Found my contract - It says: .....if your vet finds this puppy to be a poor health risk or detect any physical health problems that would require further vet care other than required vaccinations and/or wormings, you must contact us immediately. No vet fees charged for the exam or any other...

I don't think it is cruel at all. I remember one year I went to Disney World, and the hotel we stayed at was holding a Sheltie show. Every Sheltie around me was "snipped". I lived in a condo with my Boston Terr who loved to bark. I worked, and he stayed in a crate and still barked. It came...

I do have a contract, but can't remember where I put it - i'm going to look for it in a minute. I think it said if there is anything wrong with the dog, they will replace with another dog, and NOT pay vet bills. BUT the deal is she sold me a sick dogs full of roundworm, and claimed to of...

Okay my little chin, Abby is in the hospital. I posted a few days ago about her having roundworm. She was doing so good, then this morning she was just laying in her box limp. I ran to the vet (in my pajamas). The vet said she will do all she can. She thinks Abby is dehydrated and low blood...

YEAH !! My little Abby is so much better tonight. She is moving around, eating, and even crying to be held. For the first time since I brought her home She is active. My questions is how are roundworms transmitted? From dog to dog, and even dog to human. I gave Abby a kiss, and she licked...

I love all my dogs, golden, lab, boston, and jap. chin. I love my lab cody because of his personality. He is absolutly huge, but the biggest baby I have, he really thinks he is a lap dog. I love my boston Tippy, because of her terrier blood, she is always up to something, and despite her size...

Airdale's are alot of work. I had a wirefox terrier, which is a miniture of Airdale, and she was sooooo much work. I love dogs, and can't live without them, and she was still alot of work. The coat requires so much plucking, you can't just shave them with shears. Anyway, I am sold out on...

Abby is eating this morning, but still lethargic. I'm waiting to call the vet this am to make sure everything is normal. She seems to be coughing today. I know what you mean about responsible breeding. I have a Boston Ter. accidently got preg. We didn't spay her because she is high risk for...

Thanks for the replys. I've had labs for 20 yrs, and never had worm problems. I really did my homework on this dog/breeder too. From the info I've looked up the mother probably had the worms. I have all the paperwork from the breeder, that Abby had been wormed every 2 weeks. I guess you...
