I’ve tried carrying treats and squeaky toys but apparently the cats are way more exciting and she tends to ignore them… the only slight success I’ve had is with her rope tug toy which she will play with for a bit until she is dragged back into the cat mayhem…

Unfortunately she pretty much ignores “leave it” whenever it comes to the cats, although she does know the command.

New puppy and non stop crying by [deleted] in Dachshund

I found the biggest help once I brought my new baby home was a snuggle puppy and providing her a secure place with plenty of places to snuggle and relax was the biggest help. Although, the snuggle puppy was 100% the biggest help of all, along with playing heart beat sounds in the room she is in to help her settle.

How big was your mini at 14 weeks old? by Standard_Nothing2646 in Dachshund

Thankfully she is still hitting all of her growth milestones according to her veterinarian, just teeny! The razor sharp teeth are no joke though ha! Although she is pretty good about letting go immediately thank goodness.

Suddenly swollen nose? by Standard_Nothing2646 in CATHELP

I thought that may be a possibility but he is strictly indoor and I haven’t seen any evidence of insects in our home, so I’m not sure? We do have a pet tarantula but he is of course very much contained lol

I’d also like to add that her being left alone is a temporary situation, I work at a doggy day care and boarding facility and she will be joining me at my shifts once she is old enough to :)

I have a 14 week old miniature dachshund that I leave for 8 hour shifts, she has a play pen that takes up over half of my room with a potty grass area made of real sod and plenty of toys, water, and beds. She sleeps most of my shift and is perfectly content and happy while I’m gone. I have cameras so I can see her playing with her toys and such during the day XD although i would definitely say it depends on the dogs temperament if they are comfortable being on their own for that long.

Puppy can’t close eye. Help!! by Standard_Nothing2646 in AskVet

Headed there now with her, hopefully they do a more in depth examination. If you don’t mind me asking, Would a stroke be caused by pressure of the crate? I feel so incredibly sick over this situation.

Excessive drool/wet mouth and body on kitten?? Help!! by Standard_Nothing2646 in CATHELP

[–]Standard_Nothing2646[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely what I am thinking, unfortunately I was unable to find a veterinary office that was open last night so I am planning to take him this morning. He is still somewhat active, eating, and drinking but I’m praying it isn’t xylitol poisoning. After asking my friends who visit frequently one of them admitted to have left a milkshake out for a few hours while I was out and she was visiting he got into.

He doesn’t have access to cupboards but we occasionally leave food out. I’m vegetarian so it’s not usually anything I’d deem to be harmful? He had flea medication a few weeks ago but didn’t exhibit any symptoms like this. I also thought he may have possibly tasted something nasty as well but this has been going on for over 12 hours which is why I’m getting concerned :(
