he needs a vet NOW.

She was recently spayed and we’ve taken her to the vet and had blood work done which came back all normal. We took her to the emergency vet after the first pillow because we didn’t know if she ate any of it and they did an X-ray and saw she was constipated so they gave her an enema. She’s hasn’t been eating her food and she tries to eat grass sometimes too.

This dog needs a job. You need to find something that engages her mind and uses up her energy. Flyball if she loves balls, agility, herding sheep. Something you do together. If you only walk her she will need 2 one hour walks per day — believe me you will both be happier with a one hour walk and a training session each day for her “job” than those 2 one hour walks each day.
Next you need to crate train her. Get a very strong crate and watch a video on YouTube about how to get your dog to love a crate – Zak George has a few good videos, just put zak george in the YouTube search and they will pop right up. Crate your dog at night and when you leave the house. You might also want to consider an outdoor kennel run for her when you aren’t home. A good dog is one that managed in such a way that they don’t have the opportunity to do bad things like eating pillows.
Next you have to find things that you dog can chew and give her 2 things to chew per day. I suggest Kongs – stuff them with good stuff like peanut butter and bananas, some of her dog food, green tripe, etc and freeze it so she has to work to get the stuffing out. This will satisfy her need to chew. Avoid any bone that has been cooked or smoked! Antlers aren’t too good for their teeth either if she tries to break off pieces. Raw hip joints are good if you can find them (the ball part at then end of the leg bones – look for them at a butcher shop).

Sounds like the dog has abandonment issues try giving her socks or her own blanket

12 weeks is too young to expect reliability with housebreaking.  remember, she’s a tiny baby puppy right now.  you need to teach her a cue (we uses a bell hanging off the doorknob), praise her every time she uses the cue, and you need to make sure she goes out every half hour when she’s awake, immediately before and after all naps, playtime, and food.  at this age, any accident is the human’s fault. 😉

good luck.  puppies are trying at the best of times.

What else do you think it could be? Could the puppy strangles be a misdiagnoses from the start? He had a high fever, pimple looking blister on his sheath, mucous in his eyes, swollen face, lymph node, and joints and was was reacting to the steroids until day 6 of the initial taper dose (7.5 mg). If something was injured wouldn’t he be in pain?

Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that when we took him to the Vet a board verified orthro surgeon looked at him and felt that he may be having an angular deformity that may have been caused from the swelling from the initial on set of the strangles which affected the bone. He said it could get worse or better has he grows. But there’s nothing to worry about now since he’s not in pain and still growing.

So far so good on the second attempt to lower the prednisone.

Thank you for your help!

My vet is on Christmas vet. She was the one that told me to give him the children’s benadryl. My groomer told me to use the spray. It has gotten better but it still looks bad. I’m just worried about the not eating part. I don’t know if it’s the medicine or something else.

Oh and there is no discharge

its ring worm and if you have been hugging and kissing her u will get it too you can get creem for your dog and you need to go to the doctors

We do have Vets on this site. Our Vet Krista founded it!

I think you will find that most of us have vast experience of owning dogs or cats…or both.

I personally have owned dogs for well over 40 years ..have judged, shown and bred Weimaraners and Cockers…and owned Golden Retrievers and Labradors.

However we cannot diagnose what is wrong with the animal on here. It could put their lives at risk ….we cannot see the animal or how they are acting. Therefore we always advise an owner to seek professional help and advice if they are concerned. 

Thank you for your response, I didn’t see any comments on many of the questions asked by people today but about an hour after I posted this comments started popping up. Thank you, I really like this site 🙂

You should take a look at my website >> amplifiremusicandfilm.weebly.com

Brett, peddling your music website is in appropriate for the purpose of Pawbly.

This happened yesterday around this time of day.

Thank you for the response!

Thank you very much for answering my question. I will take her to see the vet as soon as possible this week for a full check up because she is currently eating Hill’s Ideal Balance that was recommended by a pet nutritionist at PetSmart so I was a little worried it may have been too sudden a change from what she was eating before.

I AM NOT A VET, but in your situation i think i’d wait and see.  i don’t think there’s anything inherently toxic in water found in a dehumidifier.

that i don’t know, but i’d just keep an eye on behavior, urinating, defecating, eating, drinking, etc. for a day or two, then i wouldn’t even bother worrying.
