Hello Alexander, please take her to a Vet urgently. From what you are saying she is not well at all…..and could possibly have a serious infection in her uterus called Pyometra or a urinary tract infection. . Its obviously not normal for her to lose fluid like that….and it doesn’t sound like urine. Added to the other symptoms you describe its time for a Vet. Please don’t leave it any longer, if she does have Pyometra its very serious indeed. 

Hello Eddie, I don’t quite understand the question….but I think you mean separate your pitbull from the other dogs in your house? Give her her own room with outside access to the yard? 

This would be ok but I think you might run the risk of upsetting the harmony between the 3 of them. Your pitbull may end up jealous and feeling left out. She could turn on the other two maybe. She would certainly miss them. All you could do is give it a try and see. 

I don’t know if your pitbull would ever be able to socialise and be friendly with other dogs at 6 years old, she could be too set in her ways now. Maybe you could muzzle her and see how that goes too…..the last thing you want is another dog bitten…..

You sound a very responsible owner and I hope it all works out for you. Good luck. 

Oh I see lol….yes that would be fine I’m sure. Be careful your pitbull doesn’t come face to face with your new dog though ….but I’m already sure you won’t ?

Good luck with the new dog!

Dear Casey,

Have you tried any of the canned foods?  In regards to dry foods, Pro Plan’s and Rice has freeze dried chicken in it, and is a widely accepted food.  Usually with hip dysplasia we have to fight to kee dogs light- not beg them to eat 🙁

Second poop today was just as it should be. Brown and solid. No lethargy or vomiting. He’s crazy happy, thorn his new bed apart, ate the whole lunch and snack. I am so happy that he’s alright!

Thank you all for your help! I went to the vet today and since she is still healthy, the vet bill was only $150. I received an antibiotic and an anti-diarrhetic. I am so thankful that you took the time to answer my concerns. I thought I could get her back to normal the old-fashioned way, but you all were right and I am glad I visited the vet. Hopefully the meds will clear things up 🙂

Hi there,

The best thing is to never ‘force’ your dog into the crate.
The crate should be a safe haven for the dog, somewhere where they are never bothered and hopefully feel most comfortable to sleep in. Is it big enough or her to stand up in? If so try putting her water and food in there. Play with the ball and keep throwing it into the crate to get her used to the idea that every time she goes in it she isn’t going to be locked in and left alone. Especially with a rescue the crate should be build up slowly.

Once she starts feeling more comfortable going ion and out of the crate for meals, the ball and treats (and she clicks on that you won’t lock her in it every time she steps foot in) start putting her in, giving her a treat, closing the door and going upstairs/out of the room. Most dogs are worse when they can hear you around the house so it will take time. Try leaving her for 2 minutes, however if she is starts crying or whining do not go to her, just wait it out. Have you tried putting a blanket over it? Even my dog who has been crate trained since a puppy feels bit more uncomfortable if he doesn’t have a blanket covering 3/4 sides.

To me it sounds like this dog suffers from separation anxiety, this can be managed but you will have to remember that she may never really adjust to being left alone for long periods. A drastic measure may be to consider getting another dog if she enjoys their company? Some dogs with separation anxiety can quickly turn very destructive and this can be dangerous for them if they chew through a wire or choke on something. However it may not be this at all and she may just get over excited that she has escaped the evil crate!

What type of crate have you got? Most dogs can escape a material crate as if they paw at it long enough the zip will start to move, try investing in a sturdy metal crate with several bolds to keep it shut.

Another thing to consider is that your rescue dog may need some time to adjust to your home. I have taken on dogs that have taken 2 years and some that have taken 2 weeks.

Best of luck!

Thanks a lot we have tried putting food and water in her crate and even putting her toy in there, we have a sturdy metal crate but she uses brutal force to brake it we have tried zip ties and she just brakes those too, but at night when we put her in there she is fine because she knows that we are here and that she is not alone.

Went to the vet he has a cold. The vet injected him with antibiotics and multi vitamins. Prescribed antibiotics for 1 week.

I’m shore she will be fine but chocolate increases dogs hart beat so keep a close eye on her if she starts to show any signs call the vet right away
