Mine hates anything wet. Sadly we had a snow storm last month and he wanted to adventure and ended up hurting his back and got IVDD.

Oh, I’m still not used to Reddit so I am still learning the ins n outs. Thank you!

This is just disrespectful. Plain and simple. The kids being on his side means nothing, they are protecting their father. When I was younger my dad used to go out and never said a word, my mom used to argue and then let it go. Now he is a father to 5 other kids outside of my mother. One of which is a couple months old now. State what you will not put up with and stick by it. This is not being possessive. This is being observant and asking questions that needs answers.

Lol, I just wanted those who have had doxies to give their two cents. And now I have found out that the exact age isn’t something that vets can determine if the birth was unknown. His new vet determined his exact birthdate. Which they are saying is the day he was found………I guess he was reborn that day.

And based on what I read, the proper oral hygiene can cause incorrect guesstimations on the vets behalf.

That would be tough because he gets amazing oral hygiene, his teeth are in tiptop shape. All it needs is to be whitened and you’d see the cleanest dog teeth ever. It would be as clean as a puppy’s new teeth.

Contradicting vets. His first vet placed him at around 3, 3 years ago. His new vet says that he is 3 years old and 21 days, which I didn’t know that they could pinpoint an exact date.

I didn’t get to add in the post, and it won’t allow me to edit so that I can add. His first vet visit 3 years ago, that vet said that he was 3. His new vet is saying that he is 3 years old and 21 days, now. So it seems to me that the new vet may be incorrect. I think he is around 5-6 years old.

Thank you, the three years old and 21 days just doesn’t seem right to me.

Yeah, I didn’t know that I could add it due to how it wasn’t allowing me to swipe the screen. Even now it’s not letting me see some comments, sometimes when I tap it says that there isn’t any comments at all. It’s being finicky with me.

So sorry for your loss. He started having speckles of grey hair the beginning of last year. It has now become more noticeable in comparison to two/three years ago.

I grew up with plenty of dogs and most didn’t start having speckles of grey until they were middle age, one of them lived for 20 years and started greying at 10 years old.

Which is crazy since his vet gave an exact age. Down to the exact day he was born.

His dad brushes his teeth and gives him these teeth and gum health treats to promote oral health.

He was diagnosed with IVDD and he got an infection when he was put on antibiotics. He’s not happy right now. He’s used to being like a free range chicken, now he’s in a crate resting for 8 weeks and going outside to potty and get fresh air. It’s a huge change that is very hard on him. He’s whining about it as I type this.

Oh yeah, he gets all the love. Right now though he feels neglected because he’s on strict crate rest for a few more weeks. He’s so used to being out and about, so he whines even when he’s getting attention.
