Yes this was a response of extreme fear. Put yourself in his position, where an unknown giant glares into your face and pushes its face into yours even though you are shouting at it to get away - and you can't run away - and you will see how frightened he must have been. You have to be a safe place ...

I'm not going to look at the link as this is something that really upsets me :evil: And it makes me cross when people who have allowed their pets, no, MADE their pets obese, get praise for slimming them down. It's high time conscientious owners who keep their animals fit and healthy were given due r...

I reckon the viewpoint of another vet might be very useful. Nobody knows everything about anything. Either take pup to breeder's vet, or ask yours for a referral to someone who specialises in this sort of problem. I really think an operation is a bit over-the-top and should be avoided until every la...

Four months!!!! He is such a little baby still. He is just behaving like a baby (they chomp too). Take it easy and be patient. He isn't being dominant or aggressive, just going through a normal puppy stage where everything has to go into his mouth and be grrrr-ed at. As he's a spaniel, he should be ...

Depends on the puppy and the length of 'all night'. :D Sorry that's not much of an answer! Bladder and bowel control comes sooner for some than others and there is no 'benchmark'. Some of mine have lasted an 8 hour night at twelve weeks!!!! and I know others that have gone on six months or more. I s...

Opening him up is a bit drastic! :x Has he been tested for pancreatic insufficiency and Addison's Disease? Don't worry about thin. More dogs have severe health problems as a result of being overweight than ever from being thin. Have you gone back to the breeder? Specialist breeders often have far mo...

I respect everyone's wishes to neuter or not for reasons that they have investigated and are happy with. If anyone is worried about entire dogs of either sex straying, there is a far easier and safer way to prevent this than surgical intervention. It is called a fence. Almost all dogs will stray, ne...

Then you need to re-arrange the dogs' accommodation so that there is at least one barrier between them and the front door - this is a situation that has to be managed, because even the best-trained dogs might run out of an open door, and it only takes once to cause a tragedy. Until you have arranged...

Check worming is up to date Try charcoal biscuits Plain bio yoghurt with a glop of honey and some apple (stewed apple is fine) will help Canine probiotics from vet can be very helpful If you have access...

You ask where you are going wrong, and I commend you for your thoughtful approach to owning such a lively, intelligent mix of breeds. Four and a half months old. Eighteen weeks. You have a baby here. Baby concentration span, baby mental and physical attributes, baby needs for sleep and relaxaton. Wh...
