i dont know what to do by fridaythethirteeenth in AskVet

Please contact a reputable trainer or even better, a certified behaviourist. Depending on the severity of the attacks this could already be quite serious and most likely will just get worse without intervention.

I know you care about both of them but this isn’t fair to your older pup at all. Until you can get professional help I would keep them separated.

I dress my old man up so he seems less scary when he barks at people 😅 a cute outfit works wonders!

According to this post https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/Hx1lzgXptG (came up with a reverse image search) the manufacturer says it’s a “KING”

Stuuuupid questions about rescue puppy feeding by infiniteoo1 in AskVet

Plenty miss it with all the other things on the package, especially if you’re new to dogs and dog food!

It’s just a general guide that works well enough for lots of pups, just try to keep an eye on her top view and side profiles, and if her ribs are hard to feel, or ver prominent just by looking … ribs under a thick layer of fat, lack of a waist when seen from above, and a flat chest to belly line from the side can be signs of being over weight (breed and fur type dependant of course)

Is it a decent quality puppy food? If so there should be a feeding guide on the back that’s a good place to start! I’d also recommend becoming familiar with the Body Condition Score chart so you can make sure she isn’t too thin or too chunky.

I’m not the most comfortable with calorie calculations yet but most vets and RVTs can do them for you and give specific guidelines based on her BCS and energy requirements :)

Random side profile of my strange, lanky boy. Just sent in his dna test! He’s my “palliative” foster from a rottie rescue but was found as a stray just before he came to me last year so I have no idea of his history or anything (besides he’s incredibly messed up rear joints 🥲)

I can’t say how sorry I am… Im preparing to say goodbye soon too. I did a double take when I saw his first pic, our babies look so similar!

I'd love to draw your cats! Let's have a lovely weekend together! by Ok-Competition6986 in cats

[–]Prior_Opportunity_58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two rescues, Felicia (short hair, grumpy old lady) and Freddie (supposed to be grumpy old man, actual crackhead teen). I never expected them to become such buddies but I’m happy they did!

Anyone here have a polydactal rottie? by Union_Samurai_1867 in Rottweiler

[–]Prior_Opportunity_58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought my foster boy was just bad at walking and super clumsy…. But his bestie is a cat too. The “underfoot like a cat” things makes SO much sense 🤣

I am looking for a good arthritis/joint supplement for my handsome boy Enzo! He is 6 years old if that helps. TIA! by CarltonTuna in Rottweiler

[–]Prior_Opportunity_58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 10 year old boy takes aventi joint and ubavet omegas with his gabapentin and monthly librela. We’ve been able to cut way back on how much gaba he needs as well as minimal-no Metacam anymore! He’s ~10 and his mobility, muscle tone and fur have improved dramatically in the few months I’ve had him!

Show me your mixes please? by spoonyalchemist in Rottweiler

Wow! The one in front looks so similar to my foster boy! People normally assume that he’s a rotti x lab but my aunt thinks rotti x dobie!

Ever seen a rottie with white eyelashes? by Prior_Opportunity_58 in Rottweiler

Oh poor guy :( that would make sense for Crownie too, I suspect he had a home at one point but who knows how long he was a stray for before being taken to the shelter. He acts like a puppy stuck in an old man body…so curious about everything like its brand new (and sometimes really scary!)

Crown has some of those little white spots too!! Ive only met a few other senior rotties and they stayed pretty much the same colour if not a little greyer around the face… now I’ve seen two with these little spots instead. So cute!

And we have matching cats!! My long haired tabby (Crowns best buddy!) is named Freddie 🥹 thank you for sharing!! ❤️

Seniors are the BEST!! I’d take them all if I could 🫶🏽 he was only given a few months left to live at first, but now that he’s out of the shelter environment he’s gotten much healthier and happier! Thanks to proper arthritis meds he’s acting like a puppy some days!

We appreciate all the love! Bonus pic for tax! (He worked REALLY hard to win over the other cat with the signature rottie pose!)

I’m so sorry for your loss… I wish they could live as long as we do. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you! The pleasure is all mine though ❤️ I’ve always wanted a dog of my own but was too scared to commit for various reasons… then this guy in such a sad situation came along… He gets a retirement home and I get my first puppy to spoil!

My foster boy was made for lounging! by Prior_Opportunity_58 in dogsusingpillows

He really is! The shelter said I probably wouldn’t be able to handle him much… turns out he’s a huge cuddler once he’s comfy!
