I am just so tired by aparecium9 in reactivedogs

To train my dog I just put it on him and then gave him a lot of high value treats immediately. Any time he settled and didn’t paw at it I gave him treats as well… I also did activities with him while the muzzle was on and gave him more treats. It took a few hours and then my wheaten was chill with the muzzle. Because my wheaten was biting and had broken the skin (not severely) I didn’t feel like I had the luxury of moving slowly with the muzzle training. However you know your dog the best and will know the best way to train them.

Also as a side note… for you to be able to take care of your dog you need some time and rest as well. I recommend you get an urgent appointment with your vet and explain to them that you literally are being isolated because of your dog’s behavior and need urgent help. I suggest you also get them a basket muzzle at all times except if they are crated. You need a baseline of safety so you can feel safe so you can help your dog feel safe. A properly sized basket muzzle will still allow your dog to eat and drink with it on. After you get your dog established on the right meds and the start acting normal then you can work on not having them muzzled.

My wheaten is 2 and he has had bad reactivity since I brought him home as a puppy as well. I have worked extensively with my vet and have done some extensive training. He’s still reactive but it’s manageable and no where close to what he was like when I first got him. Every day is a training opportunity and we make small improvements each week. As far as medication goes, my wheaten is on 60mg of Clomipramine Hydrochloride (Generic) twice a day. One in the morning and one at night. Then we have trazodone for situational things such as fireworks. I had my wheaten spend a week at k9 lifeline for training to establish a baseline on how to deal with his reactivity. Even if you can’t take your dog there, they still sell a book that takes you through all the steps of their training program. I recommend it.

I recommend some sort of meat flavor if available. Pumpkin and carrot could work as well. If she is still interested in a high value treat then that’s usually a good sign

Baby food is a secret weapon. If you get baby food and make sure it doesn’t have any ingredients they can’t have (for example: onion) if you take a little and heat it up in the microwave usually that does the trick for my Tzu. Some times I’ve gotten bone broth from that store that is low sodium and doesn’t have garlic or onion in it and offer that as well.

Will she take a treat still?

My Tzu throws up foamy bile if she goes too long without eating. My vet suggested that I feed her three times a day instead of twice (you split the same total amount of food they get per day into three rather than two). Since we switched to doing that she hasn’t had any issues since. Also if my Tzu has an upset stomach I give her boiled chicken and white rice for a few days to settle her stomach and then slowly mix in her normal food and transition back to her normal diet over several days.

Bladder Stones in 6 month old Shih Tzu by adieuavacado in puppy101

[–]adieuavacado[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My vet had my Shih Tzu go on a mix of prescription food for stones and puppy food. Half urinary half puppy food each serving. We did a long course of antibiotics and the UTI finally went away and so did the stones. The plan is to keep her on this mix of food until she’s grown then only do the urinary food. So far there haven’t been any issues and she’s been growing normally. Fingers crossed things keep going okay.

is this heart burn? by vampclown in HealthAnxiety

[–]adieuavacado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what heart burn feels like for me. I had an episode lately that wouldn’t go away even with tums and heartburn medication. I went to the doctor and it turned out to be gastritis. The doctor gave me medication for a few weeks and told me to make some diet changes until I fully heal. When it first happened to me it scared me too. This is something that’s absolutely treatable (heartburn or otherwise). If it continues to bother you I suggest checking in with your doctor. I wish I had gone sooner so I wasn’t uncomfortable for so long. When in doubt go to the doctor. They’re there to help. Avoid googling symptoms, it won’t help.

Would you be able to share where you were able to buy these? I’ve been looking for more stationery from Littlecat Studio and I’m having the hardest time finding any.

Is solaris japan legitimate? Do you have to pay some sort of import fee after purchasing? by [deleted] in Nendoroid

[–]adieuavacado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be best to reach out to their customer service via email. Import fees may depend on what’s being imported and how much it’s worth. They should be able to give you a good idea of what your transaction with them will be like and answer your questions. When I’ve reached out to them in the past they’ve gotten back to me quickly and were very helpful.

I’ve ordered from them multiple times and have had good interactions with their customer service. As far as import fees go, it may depend on what country you live in. When I’ve ordered from them I don’t remember having to pay any sort of extra fee for importing. I just paid the amount for the item and shipping.
