    Rory swallowed a big piece of rawhide

    Rory was chewing on a rawhide and I noticed that he could get the whole thing in his mouth so I got up to go take it away from him and he gulped it down. Should I be worried?? He seems fine, but I just worry about his digestion. He's so small (12 lbs) and I'm afraid it will get lodged or...

    stomatitis and full mouth extraction

    From what I've read, a lot of IG's have problems with their mouths-not necessarily stomatitis, but dental issues in general. The vet said Riley's issue is that his immune system overreacts to plaque and then the sores form...so basically his body is attacking itself. My poor guy. The vet said...

    stomatitis and full mouth extraction

    Riley is at the vet today for a dental cleaning and the vet called me to let me know he was waking up and doing fine. He has stomatitis (chronic mouth sores) so I've been spending loads trying to keep his little mouth healthy. The vet is now suggesting full mouth extraction. She said that it...

    Gurgling Tummy

    Well, he just seemed a bit lethargic. Not quite his normal bouncy self. This morning he woke me up at 5:30 and wolfed down his food and was fully of energy and kisses. He seems to be back to normal, but I'll keep an eye on him.

    Gurgling Tummy

    Rory hasn't eaten all day and his stomach has been gurgling a lot. Is there anything I can do to help him? It's not unusual for Rory not eat in the morning, but usually he's hungry for dinner.

    zit? blister?

    Riley has this bump on his leg that looks like a mix between a zit and a blister. It seems to be pus filled...I know, gross... It's inflamed around the edges, so I put peroxide on it last night. I didn't want to put anything else on it since it's a place he can lick. Does anyone know what...

    Riley's teeth

    I'm supposed to swab ora-vet on his teeth once a week and I put aqua-dent in their water every day. He has felt SO much better since he came home. He's playful and happy, chewing on toys which he NEVER did before, and I got my first Riley kiss since I've had him. Poor thing. I don't think he...

    seizures

    Rory had a seizure about 2 weeks ago. According to the foster mom and previous owner who surrendered him to rescue, it was apparently his first witnessed one (He's 5). It scared the life out of us and we rushed him to the vet. He told us that it can be common in IG's and unless there is a...

    Riley's teeth

    I have had Riley and his brother for about 3 months now and when they came to me from rescue, Riley was on prednisone for sores in his mouth (stomatitis). His breath was horrendous, so I took him in for the vet to look at his teeth. He needed another dental (whoever did it this year before I...

    The most awful sound I've ever heard!

    Well, mine used to be naked all the time until they got out of the gate one time and we had a horrible 20 minute search for my 'slow' doggy. I worried about them not having a phone number to call on them, so I got them tags and collars. We have since installed an additional lock to the gate, so...

    What is the reason

    I always thought it was just an instinct thing to "bury" it (like cats do). It's pretty funny when Rory does it since he only has 3 legs (2 in back, 1 in front). He has to balance and kick fast!

    The most awful sound I've ever heard!

    Rory was just scratching at his neck and got a toenail stuck in his collar. He let out the most GOD AWFUL screech I have ever heard. Luckily I was in the same room and could untangle him easily, but I think with the way he was panicking he may have broken his leg if left to his own devices...

    Iggy Mom

    Hello again after a long time! I was on this forum quite a while ago when I had Raika, my GSD. Sadly, my ex-boyfriend took her when we split up over 2 years ago. I was heartbroken but she has a very good home now with lots of room to run. So now after over 2 years of being dog-less I have...

    Puppy chasing and biting my feet..ouch!

    OOOHH!!! I feel your pain! This was my life a couple months ago! Basically it just had to pass and she grew out of it, but yes, it IS painful!! I had scarred arms for a while because of her little needle teeth, not to mention beat up legs and feet. The thing that worked the best for me (for a...
