    typical for a dog that age, probably not much to be done. Your lucky to have had him so long. sorry about his condition, just try to keep him pain free

    He’ll be fine, it’ll take more sugar than that to hurt him.  : )

    No, just used to make the garlic extract, to be then diluted and sprayed on grass.

    It is possible that some of the grass gets eaten later, as our guys like their “salad”

    if memory serves, based on some research i’ve done, puppies should be eating 5-6 meals per day at that age.  do you have support from your vet?

  2. Anna K

    Krista, thank you for your advice! Today I gave him breakfast (puppy food with warm water and a bit of oatmeal – syringe), 2nd breakfast (the same, but he vomitted it as he didn’t feel good in the afternoon), home made chicken soup with celery and carrots – syringe – couple of times during the day because he felt nauseated and he ate small portions (1 small syringe at a time, next in 15 – 20 minutes, sometimes 2 syringes at a time). When he smelled our dinner all of the sudden he jumped out of the bed and ate some chicken (boiled), not much, but it was his initiative. He played with our lab, played with his stuffed chicken and went to bed. Now I’m waking him every half our and I give him blended rice with egg yolk, chicken and warm water.

    Laura, unfortunately no because our vet told me that he’s gonna die. And I’m not giving up on him.

    Could it possibly be dog acne? Thanks for the response.
