Large &
Giant Breed Puppy
This formula is designed for those puppies
that will reach 50 pounds or more as an
adult. Its triple meat protein source builds
good solid muscle, providing optimum calcium
and phosphorus. In addition, there are
slightly fewer calories so that puppies
dont gain too much weight before their
bodies are ready to support it.

Canine body language
http://dfdk9.wordpress.com/
THIS is why you do not walk your dogs on asphalt or concrete
in the summer. If you see someone walking their dogs on
asphalt or concrete, PLEASE educated them and get the pet to
cooler ground. Original post was from Pet Ambulance Victoria
This should be sent to all the veterinarians including the specialists!
DOG PARK ALERT
We have received two notices.
(1) Nails wrapped in cheese at dog parks in Chicago and
Massachusetts (see pic). (2) from some friends that in
Augusta Maine dog park, antifreeze is being found in doggie
water bowls. Please beware and be careful and PLEASE SHARE
and spread the word
Ever wonder where puppy mill dogs come from? Here's an
example. Many get cooked alive in the sun and freeze to
death in the winter. If you purchase your dog from a pet
store, I can guarantee your "AKC" certified dog came from a
place like this. This one is even better than the ones
I saw in Iowa and Missouri!
Do you recognize she is a Yorkie?
Please do not purchase your pet from a Pet shop, Backyard
breeder or Commercial Puppy Mill.

BLOAT
Click chart to view larger version |
This is a real
combination of symptoms that spells out EMERGENCY. These are the classic
symptoms of a condition referred to as "bloat" - a dog that is pacing,
restless and has unproductive attempts to vomit.
This is a common problem in large breed
deep-chested dogs but can also occur in smaller dogs.
Basically what happens is this - the
stomach twists causing the blood supply to the stomach to be compromised
then leads to tissue death. As tissues are damaged, toxins are released
and a sequence of events occurs that if left untreated, leads to death.
If you ever notice these symptoms in
your dog, call your local veterinarian or emergency clinic as soon as
possible.
This is a condition that is fairly
common and often occurs in the evening or nighttime hours. It is also a
very expensive condition to treat.

Dealing with Excessive Barking
The first step to stopping barking is to understand why it is
happening. Dogs bark for all kinds of reasons, including
anxiety, boredom and/or loneliness. Sometimes they bark just
because it feels good. Luckily, most dogs will respond to
one or other intervention to curtail their barking. Whether you
simply bring an outdoor dog inside or take the time to apply
behavior-modification techniques, you can cause a dog to be less
of a nuisance and to be more socially acceptable. |
Removing Skunk Odor
|
|
No need for the tomato juice. Use a mixture of 10 parts hydrogen
peroxide to 1 part baking soda. Add a dash of degreasing
dishwashing soap and pour into a spray bottle. Spray liberally
over dry coat and allow to air dry. Avoid eyes. Works on other
objects, too! |

CONGENITAL MEGA ESOPHAGUS & MANAGEMENT
(Bailey Chair detailed plan below)
| What is Mega Esophagus? The esophagus is the tube connecting the throat to the
stomach. When food is perceived in the esophagus, neurologic reflex causing
muscle contraction and relaxation lead to rapid transport of the food into
the stomach, like an elevator going down. Other reflexes prevent breathing
during this swallowing process to protect the lungs from aspiration.
When these reflexes are interrupted such as with mega
esophagus, the esophagus loses its ability to
transport food to the normal function. Instead the esophagus loses all tone and dilates.
Mega Esophagus is found to involve young puppies (Great Danes, Irish
setters, Australian Cattle Dogs, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds,
Labradors mixed breeds, small breeds and
even people. In these cases the
condition is believed congenital though it often does not show up until the
pup begins to try solid food. Congenital mega esophagus is believed to occur
due to incomplete nerve development in the esophagus. The good news is that
nerve development may improve as the pet matures. Prognosis is very
good
for congenital mega esophagus than it is for mega esophagus acquired during
adulthood.
The above condition is treatable and the prognosis is
good if fed properly. Treatment takes
dedication, love and extra work.
FEEDING
Feed dry food
mixed with hot tap water
soaked for 15 minutes and then mashed and lots of added warm water to make
it like a soup. You can also add a tablespoon of canned food to it
before you mash it.
Feed frequently. Small meals according to the weight of the
dog. Most dogs diagnosed with Mega esophagus will manage well with two+ meals per day. Lifespan
is normal if fed properly through out it's life.
 |
|
|
Minimally 45 degrees. This is known as elevated feeding, whereby
your dog's head and neck are well above the stomach region.
This method may work well enough for some. The most
upright feeding will work best for the majority!
The dogs are fine with this type of feeding and they never fight it.
With the Bailey Chair (plans below) it is possible to have them sit
for 15 to 25 minutes after eating to have gravity help propel the
food into the stomach. |
|
To increase calorie intake you can use the
following:
Stat
Ensure
Nutri-Cal
Vitacal
NutristatDo not give any bones or
rawhide to a dog with mega esophagus as they tend to ingest parts of these
items. This can cause severe vomiting and injury to an already
flacid esophagus.
Hotdogs & Cheese cut
into pellet sized pieces are fine training aids and can be used for an
occasional treat. Do not give too many at one time.
Bailey Chair plans (this is a portable version which I think
is pretty cool. If you want to see more chairs just google
"Bailey Chair" and there will be plenty of chairs to copy and also many
testimonials.
