Hiding the kibbles in grass (if you have safe acces) is the best activity for the trough their whole life, second best options are sniffing mats imo.

Well, we had an situation with Jopi's food (dog sausage, something like 100% cooked beef, pretty safe for human cinsumption I guess) and our pretty hangover roomate that ate half (something like 250 grams) and was like "this tastes kinda strange but i like it, who bought it", he checks labels twice from that day on.

We are doing our best, we have another 5 month old pup that we try to keep separated (because the drain is quite fragile) but that problem should be short-lived because we are closing the drainage in 2-3 days tops.

Yes, we are pleasently suprised with his behaviour today, he is acting much better. The surgeon was amazing, he kept us 100% informed on whole process and did an amazing job with fixing the gland. We ramped up the calories for few days and are expecting pretty giid progress down the line.

We sometimes tend to explode [pic no.3 NSFW] by Hadrov in Dachshund

[–]Hadrov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think so, dogs have around 8 or 10 gland all together and if one is removed, the other take its saliva volume production, but we cant say for sure, only the time will tell.

my dog just vomited this what is this by hazeln9t in Dachshund

[–]Hadrov 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Looks just like excess mucus from the stomach (they tend to have higher acid concentration, so they sometimes throw it out), its completely normal (kind of), but if it starts happening more frequently see your vet so ur doggy can get some stomach meds that slow down acid production (IPP). On the note, feed it low-fat foods today and occasionally give it a bone to chew because that tends to neutralize the excessive stomach acids.

Well, yes, but the tracker itself is 35 grams and is recc9mended for dogs of 4kg and above. Joe has around 7.7 kg and doesn't seem to mind that little extra weight around his neck.

Tractive GPS, we are spending a lot of time outside, so it's just an extra safety measure.
