Does anyone fancy a "puppy survival" thread part 2

[Soubriquet]

Here we are again

Just jump in and join us

FontSnob that's good to hear. I bet they both loved the attention

Just had to rush madam to the vet

Her eye had all swollen shut and she kept pawing at it and rubbing on the floor.

Got her there, and they think she's been stung by something.

It's her bottom lid that's swollen not her eye. She's got some drops I've got to put in twice a day for a week. If she's no better in a week, she's going to have to be sedated and have a full examination.

So fingers crossed these drop stuff work

Soubriquet your poor girl. Hoping the drops work quickly.

Yeah I hope so £42!!

How are you at putting drops in? I find anything like that so hard

I'll be fine

Ohhh no poor puppy!! Everything crossed the drops sort her out.

Anyone else finding lots of ticks? Normally the tick twizzler works but just found a bloody stubborn one right at the front of his head which would not come out whole

No. I've used a spot on for Lexa that covers fleas, ticks, lice and even mozzies

I was using advocate and a tick collar but still finding ticks so hoping that a pill we have will work (waiting to give it to him as it's in place of the advocate) but in the mean time finding the little buggers in his fur

Oh no Soubriquet! Get well soon pup.
Not found ticks yet.
Had a day out at a show again today.
Outing myself but about to be kicked of FB group often recommended here as I said it was unkind to leave a pup for 6 hours without a wee and adult dog for 9. True examples. But I'm rude to suggest it's not Ok. FFS.

Bluepuppy sends doggy get well soon wishes to Lexa Soubriquet

Skeleton the only other option for leaving my house is through the back door and then out the garage / carport door but there's no barrier between the backdoor where the pet door is and the garage door so it would be an effort to keep pup in without him making a whippetty dash for freedom! It almost needs a diagram to explain properly

I get you can't post a pic of your handsome whippysnip Heidi, I feel a bit the same at the moment. What colour and markings does he have so at least I can picture his whippety handsomeness in my head? Mine is fawn brindle with white legs and chest, a white blaze and a black muzzle.

Oh and no ticks where I live as well as no fox poo. Just feeling mornings at the moment

Freezing not feeling

eye is perfectly fine today...

Little madam worrying me for nothing. Thank god though

Thank goodness. She's just keeping you on your toes!

That's good news . They like to worry us

They do.

Dh isn't happy. 12 hours...that's all you had to wait and you could have saved £42!! But I do worry especially with an eye injury.

Money well spent for peace of mind if nothing else I think. Eyes are one of those things you don't want to mess around with.

Bluepuppy went for a walk on the beach this morning. He's doing really well with walking on the lead and he was very well behaved

I can tell ratbag is better.

She weed on my bed

You let Lexa on the furniture ( joking obviously as Bluepuppy loves nothing better than sleeping IN my bed.)

We have lost our back sofa to pupface. Still holding onto front room sofa though she seems to be aiming to eat it from the ground up to serve us right for it letting her sit on it.

Soubriquet I bet if you hadn't gone it would have got worse and weekend vet care is bloody expensive (looks at DDog who had to go once over a weekend and once on a bank holiday)
Fortunately DDog prefers to sleep on his bed rather than our sofa.

wolfie not seen the post but very surprised that others in that group aren't saying the same? That's far too long without a wee, poor things.

Successfull morning at flyball, he was friendly, got stuck in learning the basics, but not so successful afternoon when he decided to keep barking at my mum who had popped round. Two steps forward, one step back!

Wolf hope they didn't boot you off?

Skeleton it sounds like DPup is doing well though with new tricks and training. I think they tend to get a bit more vocal around that age. Our dog never used to bark but it now very quick to tell me that there is a strange noise or a flapping bag.
