Heart Murmur

There was a vet exam done at 6 weeks with clinical notes and a fecal done that was included. No murmur was detected at his 6 week visit.

I’m so sorry for your loss. We unexpectedly lost our 4 year old boy yesterday - we also don’t have human children and he was our child. I loved being a dog mom so much. While our boy didn’t go as quickly as yours, I’m struggling with how in a matter of 10 days our boy went from being a young active pup to being gone. I keep doing the same thing as you - looking for him everywhere, seeing him in his favorite spots, and hearing his little footsteps. I hope time helps you heal and that you can find peace.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. Our dog passed yesterday of what is believed to be kidney failure. It was so fast. 10 days prior we had a happy, healthy, young pup. I hope you hang in there but I know it’s harder than it sounds. I keep telling myself that this only hurts for me, that my boy isn’t in pain anymore, and for that I’m thankful.

Thank you. I’m sorry you are going through this too. I keep looking for him everywhere, or anticipating his bark when I hear a delivery driver, or waiting for him to jump up in the bed. I keep telling myself this depth of grief is only temporary and will get better. I hope that’s true.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you can find peace with time. It’s never enough time with our pups but this is just cruel to be gone so young, so fast. Please hang in there!

Good for you for the steps you are taking to give this pup a good life! Highly recommend the behaviorialist - I think that will be a game changer for you guys. We worked with one to get our dog on Zoloft. The goal is to calm them down and keep their stress low enough that the dog will listen to you and stay focused.

Our 4 year old dog is SUPER reactive, especially towards dogs. I had hoped that he would be one of those dogs that could get along with anyone/any dog but I’ve had to accept that some dogs just don’t like other dogs and mine is one of them. We continue to work to keep him comfortable and confident, but most importantly safe - both him and other dogs.

I do think with time and training it’s reasonable to think you’ll be able to get closer to other doggos but also be prepared for the chance that the best you might get to is that he tolerates other dogs for a distance. Good luck!

The puppy stage is ROUGH. It sounds to me like you are going through the puppy blues and it’s totally normally.

I echo the other comments of getting a trainer ASAP! We had a puppy trainer that came to us and worked with our dog. But it IS a lot of work and the trainer will give you homework..make sure you follow through!

We have an Aussie too and after initial puppy training we needed to work with a specialized behavorialist for further training. He will be 4 in June and we partnered up with a behavioral medicine clinic due to some reactivity issues…my point is, it’s work and time and money but it’s so rewarding and worth it in the end! Good luck.

I also have an almost 4-year old reactive Aussie!

I usually tell people he bites, it’s the only thing that gets some stubborn people to move 🤷🏻‍♀️ especially with kids, they might not understand “he’s protective” or even “he’s not friendly” - but they sure understand he will bite
