#dog - #Wagon for elderly dog


Wagon for elderly dog

Can anyone recommend a good wagon for an elderly dog? My older dog (60lbs) is having trouble walking and I feel bad if she doesn't get to spend time outside during the day. I've started looking online but I'm having trouble finding a wagon that has a zipper opening at the side - she doesn't like being lifted so I want to make it as easy for her to get in the wagon as possible. I live in Toronto btw.

#dog - #HELP - Puppy lethargic + diarrhea


HELP - Puppy lethargic + diarrhea

I just picked up a new puppy, a dachshund, born on the 22nd day of April, so he's about 3 days away from the 2 month mark. When i picked him up he was already taken away from his mom so I assumed waiting until he was 2 months old at this point didn't make any sense. The puppy seemed slightly lethargic but he was being kept outside in the heat (29°C) and was among 5 or 6 other puppies, all bigger dog breeds. The seller told me that today he accidentally escaped while being fed and ate some of the adult/older dogs' food. When i was bringing him home he had diarrhea in the cab, not very runny but nonetheless diarrhea. He's now sleeping, but has been following me around and playing a bit rught before falling asleep. Did my best to make him drink a lot of water. What should i do? Should i take him to the vet or could this be a one time thing due to him having eaten the others' food?

Sorry for rambling, any answer is greatly appreciated.

#dog - #Worms in poop after Heartgard?


Worms in poop after Heartgard?

So as the title states. I gave my pup a Heartgard pill/tablet/dose whatever you want to call it yesterday.

He's about 4 months. Today after his morning poop. I noticed his second set of droppings had some worms.

Little guy poops on average 2 times every morning. Decent size droppings. But he does eat a bit as well so I'm not surprised.

Could these have been passed as a result of the Heartgard doing its job? Should I follow up with another dewormer? He's super healthy otherwise. But he does drink a ton of water for a little guy.

#dog - #Can dogs be immune to vaccines/preventative medicine?


Can dogs be immune to vaccines/preventative medicine?

So here's the (poop) scoop 😅 My dog was on the heartguart/advantix combo and a week after the application we hiked and he was covered in engorged ticks. Some were on for several days before I found them (he's a husky mix so they're hard to find). So they didn't die. The company paid for the vet bills because it was unusual. This has since happened with kennel cough last year (he got it a month after he was vaccinated) and today I found out he has hookworm despite being on Nexguard (he's been on it for 2 months). I am very consistent with his doses and his blood work, urine and stool was just done. All was normal except the hookworm which should've been killed and prevented by Nexguard. Has anyone else had this experience? Is it my dog or just the (potential) fact that they don't know enough about dogs to properly make these medications super efficient? He's 7 now and other than itchy skin he's in good health (he's on apoquel). Please share any information you have.

#dog - #My dog bit me broke the skin badly


My dog bit me broke the skin badly

I have a 1+ year old Italian mastiff and a 7 year old cocker spaniel. I came into the room and greeted my mastiff (this is a common thing as I use a baby voice because it usually gets him excited or happy) then my cocker spaniel was walking toward me and I bent down to greet her but my mastiff attacked me. It was really bad, I think I saw the fat yellowish flesh and blood coming out of my arm. My mother treated it with hospital antibiotics and bandaids etc but It hurts to keep it still and it hurts to move it. Theres a searing but dull pain on the inside like my bone is pulsing. He's attacked my cocker spaniel and my mother before but it was stopped quicker than my attack. I know hes a gaurd doh but theres no way he didnt know it was me because I spoke to him. And he would have kept biting me and latching if my dad hadn't got to him. What do I do now? I don't want to make this sound super dramatic but I thought I was about to faint. Sound was so muffled and my vision looked so dark. I'm lying on the couch in the basement now and it's hard to be awake what do I do I'm sad

#dog - #Cycling with Dogs Tips - Exercise [discussion]


Cycling with Dogs Tips - Exercise [discussion]

I have a high-energy dog who doesn't enjoy toys (not even ball! Oh, how she doth hurt me!) We tried dog parks, but she tends to fun-suck and upset other dogs, so we often leave when others arrive. I started biking with her about a year ago, and it's been a fantastic way for her to take a godDAMNED chill pill and still leave me some evening cuddle time if she's in a generous mood.

I just thought I would write out what I learned so far, hear some tips back, and maybe help out some others in the same situation. Maybe some of these things are obvious, but I'm generally a slow to learn.

  1. Wear a helmet.
  2. Strap the leash to the bar under YOUR seat, not the handle bars. I started on the handle bars and it gave my pup way too much control over the bike. If she saw a rabbit, I would be seeing a ditch seconds later. Strapping to the seat bar puts your weight on the dog's leverage.
  3. Don't use a collar, use a harness. A harness is less likely to restrict their breathing, and if they like to pull you every once and a while for a nice joyride, it won't hurt their neck. A brightly colored harness is best.
  4. Make sure the leash does not extend past the center of your front wheel. I do not have a special attachment, I just use a short leash. You want enough slack for the dog to have side space, but not so much they can get in front of your tire. If they get too close to you, push them gently away with your feet. You might run your dog over at some point. It's not a great feeling, but if you're paying attention there's a better chance no lasting harm will occur. They learn to respect the wheel, hopefully. Which leads to:
  5. See the hazards before your dog. I am constantly scanning 20-30 feet ahead in bushes, shade, or trees for things my dog wants to chase or go r/publicfreak on. If they see it before you do, they will blast off and if you're off center (turning, standing, whatever) can make you crash. My dog is about 40 lbs, I'm 150 lbs, and she's almost wrecked me a few times. If you see something your dog will react to, slow down and grab the leash with your hand. Or a good "leave it!" before they see it can help tear their attention away. Also, watch for potholes/ grates/ divets in your dog's path and pull them to safety before they have a chance to not see it.
  6. Plenty of breaks and water. I bring collapsible a water bowl/ cup and enough water for both of us in an insulated bottle. I do not let my dog drink all she wants until we're home, because too much water will just slosh around in there and possibly make her vomit. I often pour cool water over her head and throat when I think she's too warm but shouldn't drink more. Frequent potty stops are important too!
  7. WEAR A HELMET.
  8. Distance depends. Muscular dogs (pitties, boxers, greyhounds) are sprinters and overheat pretty quick. Labradors, retrievers, collies are generally higher energy and could go longer, or they might be less inclined to let you know when its time to stop. Just pay attention to your dog. My heeler/ lab mix tops out at four miles, but that's after months of slowly increasing distance.
  9. Don't pull your dog. If they aren't keeping up... don't force them to. It can lead to injury. Also you dog not liking bike rides. Which is a darn shame.
  10. Announce "left" and "right" to your dog with all turns. They pick it up eventually. Helps if you have something sudden to avoid, your dog can react with you. This is easier for them if you:
  11. Keep your dog on the same side of your bike every ride. They learn quicker, and it means your eyes can mostly scan one side of the path for doggie distractions. I keep my dog on the right, so I am riding on pavement and she gets the grass median to run on. Softer for her paws. When we're on the road, she is in between me and the curb, because there is no guarantee driver's will see her.
  12. Paw injury. I check paws after every week to look for wear and tear (pad discoloration, redness, torn nail, matted toe hair). If you're dog is mostly running on pavement, you might want to purchase paw balm for them. If you live in colder climates and intend to run them over winter, get paw balm for the sidewalk salts so your pup can avoid the nasty chemicals when they clean themselves. Be careful to consider hot pavement and debris on the path. Cycling during or shortly after rain events can be harsher on the paws if they're on pavement. Also, keep them off recently treated grass.
  13. Wear a helmet. You will not see everything. I missed a fence stake sticking out of someone's yard, couldn't brake in time. My dog went right, I went left. We wrapped around that stake cartoon style, and I was thrown off head first my bike into the yard. I could have landed on the fire hydrant a foot away. Wear a helmet.
  14. What I keep in my bike bag: Poop bags, antiseptic, bandages, collapsible bowl, bike repair kit, maybe a few little treats.

That is my general list of what works for me. It took a few weeks of training before my dog really understood what the heck was going on, so keep it slow at first. You're learning too-- train yourself to see the hazards. Anyone else who has some input, or maybe good improvements for me to make, let me know!
