I wormed him for the second time yesterday(2 weeks apart) and last night and this morning he passed lots of worms and now has the squits. The breeder uses Rhubarb essence or something like that to worm her dogs but obviously it doesnt work or he wouldnt have been crawling in them would he. I on the other hand did him with Drontal puppy suspension and it did work
He is now on chicken and rice with honey and probiotic until he firms up a bit, poor Boris is in the wars

one more don't make any difference............
and if he is practically crippled with that gammy leg, nobody else will have the poor little lad will they?

I dont believe this, Ive just given Boris a bigger bowl of water and heard what sounded like a running tap. I thought nothing of it as his cage has been open and assorted cats sleep in his bed with him. Just gone to make sure it was still full and a cat has p1ssed in it

If he isnt 100% normal/healthy he will be staying and I wont be paying for him either. If he is a normal healthy puppy he will be going straight to his new home and will not be going back to the breeders at all


My squitty puppy is squitty no more Hes passed nothing overnight(except one giant wee) which is wonderful news.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! He did a 'delphi'.
I think I mentioned about Delphi sitting on the rim of Chalky's water bowl and pissing into it.
Crikey we could save an absolute fortune on cat litter if they all did this.

Since dogs are telepathic, I'm going to tell Chalky to telepathically tell Boris to start limping badly for a few weeks, emitting the occasional sorrowful whine whilst looking deep into your eyes. hehehe.
You are his mummy after all. You suckled him (not literally) and saved his life. He belonga you.

Let me tell you those boys are fascinated by that big hairy dog, they spend hours sitting in the front corner of the cage on their hindlegs watching him - and he's equally as fascinated as them??

Well I've had such a frustrating and rather disappointing morning!

I got up to good news about Skye. Last night when Barry took him out, he said he'd finally sh*t and although it was soft it wasn't diarrhoea. This morning he left me a note to say it was much better, so I was quite elated!!

Then I went on the computer upstairs, printed out some bookmarks to laminate for The Sanctuary, then went on line. Replied to a pm on here and my screen froze -nothing happening. Waited for ages, gave up and "ended task" went back onto this site and my reply had gone, just the normal screen hadn't come back. Then I read the cross cats thread, replied and the same thing happened, but my reply was posted. Then I came on here and couldn't quote! Tried to quote the above post by Shell and the screen just kept going white and the little green line down the bottom was moving at the slowest rate imaginable, so in the end I decided to re-boot the computer - got back on and this time I couldn't even get a "Reply" button! AAgggghhhh!!!!

So finally I gave up and came downstairs, made a cup of tea, and went on the laptop which is working perfectly, so I know it's not this site. Anyway, no sooner had I got on line when I looked at Skye, who was standing in the corner facing the fireplace sounding suspiciously like he was about to be sick. So dropped the laptop and rushed into the kitchen shouting him, he ran in after me and promptly puked on his bed, by then I'd reached the utility room door and got him out in the garden where he brought up a bit more sick!

Poor Skye. Any idea what's caused this? Does he rush his food at all?

Could it be IBS? Just my grandads dog had the runs and sickness and that's what the vets diagnosed him with. After checking with my nan she said the vets gave her some pro-biotic paste and he was also on a special diet as some diets made him worse than others. Only dog I've known to have it though, but just sounded a tad similar, I'm probably wrong though. Hope the poor boy is feeling better soon.

To be honest Katie, I'm starting to lean that way too - in fact I'm wondering if that's why his original owners sent him back??? I'm afraid my cynicism in people has degenerated as I've got older - I've learned not everyone has the same honest outlook as I do and I no longer believe everything I'm told!

When he had diarrhoea, he was sick once only on the first night, but then hasn't been sick again, so I didn't particularly think it was a virus or anything as severe as gastro-enteritis, because I'm sure he would have been sick more.

We did wonder if it could be a problem with this Butchers Tripe tinned meat, which we've never fed to any of our dogs, so we decided to begin by introducing only the dried food and getting him back onto that before introducing the Butchers.

Now, I am wondering if it's a food intolerance to the Beta Puppy the breeder told us to feed him, because he was starved on Tuesday, then on Wednesday and Thursday he was given only boiled rice with chicken and then yesterday I started to introduce just a small handful of the Beta Puppy food yesterday morning.

To be honest, at the minute I just don't know what to think or do, because it could just have been stress that set it off - just not sure!

I hate computer problems
Poor Skye. Maybe it is a problem with the food. Perhaps try a different brand if it doesnt clear up soon. Maybe a sensitive largebreed puppy one?


Boris had a poo before(he passed none overnight) and although a bit soft it was formed which is better than last night when he was passing water and looked a bit sorry for himself. He has a new trick now and that is barking at the couch I tend to distract him by throwing a toy but not the family they pick him up and sit him on their knee How to train a puppy to be a brat
