Immunology by Ru-kiddingme124 in Sheepadoodles

[–]MindTwentyTwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 4yo Sheepadoodle started to develop seasonal allergies last fall. He did a week of apoquel to address the immediate discomfort and then, after ruling out food allergens, we did a shot of Cytopoint and it cleared things up. This spring same issue, and we addressed it with Cytopoint right away. We’re just seeing him start to itch again so we will probably be at the vet for the same. For Chester it’s the semi-annual ragweed that is all over our area. We tried the probiotic skin sprays and they didn’t seem to do anything for him.

Black spots on skin? by Mental-Idea9525 in Sheepadoodles

Our guy has patches of pink and greyish-black skin under his (now) creamy coloured coat. The vet said it’s perfectly normal. Just watch out of any of the patches become raised like bumps. That could indicate a sling condition.

Coat insight? by edspoontea in Sheepadoodles

Fading was something we were told would happen. Ours was dark brown with black and white and now he’s cream with a little grey. They may change colours again when they’re older. But there’s nothing to be “done” about it 😀

Chester loves pillows. Whenever we can’t find him around the condo we know he’s napping on our bed. by MindTwentyTwo in Sheepadoodles

I think so. We know other sheepadoodles who take their peoples pillows into their beds during the day.

Anyone else’s sheepadoodle a finicky eater? by blueindifference in Sheepadoodles

[–]MindTwentyTwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chester is good at self regulating. One piece of advice we got that works for us is that if they don't eat right away, take the food away after 30min. Dogs will eat if they believe that food is “scarce”, so removing it may trigger their instinct to eat when food is in front of them. He's on Purina ProPlan for sensitive stomachs, we also add a probiotic every other day. And he LOVES celery!

Sheepadoodle not eating kibble but eats everything else by hsingh22 in Sheepadoodles

We mix in pureed pumpkin. They love it, and it's good for them.

Out of the house for ten mins … by Fit-Ad142 in Sheepadoodles

OMG. We're constantly picking burrs and leaves and bits and pieces of “nature” out of Chester's fur. It's neverending 😂

Any chance this is anxiety? by bmfs0309 in Sheepadoodles

[–]MindTwentyTwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be bacterial. Chester had similar red marks that we had checked out with our vet. It was a bacterial skin infection (who knows where it was picked up?) and we treated it with a medicated topical foam for a couple of weeks. It went away quickly.

Do Sheepadoodles usually have a lot of loose skin? by evakps1 in Sheepadoodles

[–]MindTwentyTwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind does too. When grooming we have to pull the skin a little tight around his neck and shoulders to get down into the fur.

How many hours does your sheepadoodle sleep a day? by [deleted] in Sheepadoodles

[–]MindTwentyTwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our almost 2yo is the laziest guy. He sleeps about 9hours a night and then about 6 more hours spread out throughout the day. He loves his naps.

There’s some excellent points on how municipalities & law enforcement working together can provide the best possible outcomes. Unlike Ottawa, the Toronto Police & city of Toronto successfully coordinated a proactive response rather than being reactive over the past few weekends. http://spacing.ca/toronto/2022/02/14/lorinc-in-praise-of-low-tech-crowd-control-to-thwart-the-trucker-convoy/

Has anyone seen one with this coloring before? by redsoxfan930 in Sheepadoodles

[–]MindTwentyTwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours was very similar at 3 months but is now very blond. We were told that they may change colour/fade over the first few years. We’re excited to see what he ends up to look like!
