    What kind of a burn (I believe you mentioned in another post). How long since? How large? I can’t see a callus forming from that? Rather a scab or lesion …? To promote healing, likely raw Manuka honey (worked wonders on JD’s post op wound after tumor removal), or Prep H. To promote elasticity, coconut oil perhaps.

We switched his food to a wheat grain and soy free food and I was so happy because he started going away and looking so much better and then it came right back.. He was the runt of his litter non of his other 9 siblings have this I’ve kept in touch with all the owners.

    if your vet isn’t open, i’d be seriously considering going to an emergency vet. 

  2. Ashley Frey

    We don’t have any emergency vet places around here 🙁

    does your vet have an emergency phone number on their answering service?

  4. Ashley Frey

    Not that I know of. I did message one of my friends that works at a vet clinic to see if maybe they have one

What’s better a large kennel or a crate to keep your dogs in while your not home?

    I prefer a crate but I really don’t think it matters.

    i’m not sure of a difference…are you talking about plastic vs wire?

    both of my dobes preferred plastic vari-kennels.  that’s what my breeder has in her home, so they came to us already adjusted to the cave-like feel of the vari-kennel.

    HOWEVER.  if you have a puppy, you’d want to find one that has a barrier you can put in for housebreaking purposes.

    I think it depends on how long you are away.  If you expect to be away longer than 8 hours for an adult dog, it is better to have a kennel with access to the outdoors, and a section that is inside and warm — so the dog can get out of the sun, rain, cold.  

    If on the other hand you only are gone short periods of time then any type of crate will keep your dog(s) safe and comfortable while you are gone.  Get them to love their crate by allowing them to go in and out when you are at home.  Give them stuffed Kongs to chew when they are in their crates.

    And always, always, give them a treat when they go into the kennel or crate.  My boys will tear though the house to get to the basement kennel each time I say “kennel boys” cause they know I will scatter tiny treats in the kennel for them before I lock the gate.
