We fed our Doberman 3 meals a day until she was nearly 6 months. When she lost interest in lunch, we dropped down to 2.

It’s impossible to tell, particularly with a very dark photo. Unless you bought this kitten from a Bengal breeder, or can confirm one of the parents was a Bengal, there’s literally no way to know.

Enjoy your kitten! And as Dr. M said, get it to the vet asap to get on a good care routine.

How did you introduce them? Have you talked to Nomi’s obedience trainer for ideas? This sounds like it COULD be generalized resource guarding, and it might mean she needs more confidence.

Hi Amanda – it looks like you’re in Glen Arm? Did your vet have any suggestions? Are you willing to drive up to Philly, and would your vet be willing to consult with UPenn? UPenn treated us very well when we had a puppy who needed specific care we couldn’t get locally.

No chews will replace a proper dental cleaning at the vet. if you’re dealing with bad breath, in all likelihood your dog should be scheduled for a dental visit.

That said, my dog’s vet recommends OraVet dental chews to supplement oral cleanings.

Definitely let us know. I’ll keep you guys in my thoughts.

Are you treating the environment as well as the dog? If she’s in your home, your home is also infested with fleas and needs to be treated.

Oof, yeah. That may explain quite a bit. Is this is first ever seizure? I hope you get some answers.

What’s your normal training routine? And you’ve gotta advocate for your dog – he’s very small, children are usually larger than toy poodles and often don’t respect their space. Eventually chances are he’ll bite one of the kids if they aren’t respecting his space.

This might mean separating him from the kids. It might mean crating when you can’t be there to supervise 100% of the time.
