Is she spayed?  If not, I worry about a very serious health problem, pyometra…

Either way, I’d get her back to the vet NOW.

She was spayed when she was 2.

The vet gave her a jab and said keep her away from tit bits and fatty foods.

I just feel helpless as i can see shes not feeling well, she is still eating and drinking as normal but looks under the weather.

I put my trust in my vet but feel let down.I always try to stick to the same vet in the practice (like i do at the doctors for myself).But because i rushed her over i got a different vet from the practice.She said shes a bit over weight (which i know as she is like a dyson hoover) but has lovely teeth and a great condition coat for her age.

Tbh its the discharge thats confusing me.
She went to step of the sofa tonight and her bk legs gave way

I would call YOUR vet about this, as they may want you to bring him/them in.

It will probably take a little while to potty train him because he is so young. To socialize him you can take him on walks and play with him and get him toys to play with. Puppies are resiliant so even though he has had a rough start just give him a loving home and play with him and make sure he is happy and he will be fine into adolescence. I hope you and your new puppy the best!

Thanks for the encouragement! I had a torturous few day where I didn’t know if I should keep him or take him to the shelter. Many people on the internet acted like it was inhumane to have a dog if you couldn’t keep him indoors 24/7 and be with him most of the time; however, the lady at the shelter showed me all the cute pups there and told me that many don’t make it out. I refuse to give up on him! I’m not rich and I don’t have the resources to put him in a daycare every day but I do have a very comfortable and large home with a privacy fence. I have lots of love in my heart and no children, as well.

I plan to use the next 6 weeks to get him into the routine of our household. My mother won’t be able to help out because she takes care of my grandmother but my man is gonna arrange to drive 40 minutes here and 40 minutes back on his lunch to check on little man.

We are looking at collar activated doggie doors currently but he will be too young for that at first. I found a really cool solar paneled fan that can attach to a doghouse and “heated flooring” options for winter. I can’t believe this stuff exists! Who knew a dog could have a climate controlled doghouse?!?

Again, I really appreciate the supportive comments while I was panicking about what to do. 🙂

He does kind of have a bully-type head.  But I am really not good at guessing breeds.

For $70 you may be able to get a better answer than we can provide looking at a photo.  Mars Wisdom Panel is a DNA test that I have found to give very good information on my own dogs, and dogs I have fostered.  But, the more mix your dog is, the less satisfying the results of the test.  I get mine from Amazon – look for the 2.5 or 3.0 version, they are the newest and give more info than earlier versions.

I have tested 5 dogs so far, and have been delighted with the results. 

This is prey drive, and likely will not affect your son in the least.

HOWEVER.

If you haven’t yet, I would invest in a crate.  Train the dog to accept the crate, and crate the dog when you cannot supervise.  Had the dog been tested around cats prior to moving him to your home?  

So if the dog really doesn’t know any better, you cannot expect her to know how to behave.

YOU have to teach her. As I said, this means crating when you can’t supervise. When she isn’t crated, she should either be leashed to you or dragging a leash attached to her collar so you can INSTANTLY correct and redirect her, and don’t let her roam to another room unless she’s supervised by an adult. EVERYONE in the household has to be on board with this.

How is her general obedience? Does she respond instantly when you give her a command? If not, get in a class with a good, balanced trainer (ask your vet for a referral). This will help build a relationship between you and the dog, and the trainer may have more ideas for you.

Do the cats have a cat-safe room WITH a solid gate on the door? If not, set that up NOW. Make sure everything they need is in that room so you can shut the door if need be. I would also keep the kittens (and the queen, for now) in a dog crate when you can’t supervise them.

So any ideas what this could be?

Litterbox training a dog means they’ll use your house as a toilet.  Is there a reason you’re unwilling to walk the dog or let it out into a yard?

Bostons can be stubborn and very opinionated.  What is your experience with dog ownership?

I like pro plan, and eagle.  I feed Eagle.

Thanks a million, its just horrible seeing her hurting! As for the Meloxicam, I had seen a lot of stuff online saying that it’s been discovered that rats should be on much higher doses due to differences in metabolism and the fact that it’s not technically (off label) for rats. As a result vets tend to dose for equivalent body weight in dogs and they may not be getting enough. Is there possibly any accuracy to that? I have no medical background and so am absolutely not going to start adjusting prescriptions but if that’s the case I think a different painkiller would definitely be an idea. I hadn’t seen anything similar about the other medications so she may get more relief.

Obstruction?  Blockage?  Either way, treat this like an emergency.
