    in Dogs and Dog Training

    Posted

    its been about a week now since i first noticed the teats changing and her behaving different and about 3 days since she started producing milk

     

    how long should i give her to recover naturally OR before i go to the vet for some galastop

     

    during phantoms do you normally get behaviour changes :good:? or is it just my bitch :blink:

    i feed her along side my other dog , makes no difference

     

    today i went out and bought some free flow tripe , when she smelt it she was very interested , i put it in bowl along with a large handful of skinners , she hate the tripe :good: but left the dried B) *** :lol:

     

    one thing i have noticed today is her teats are leaking a little bit of milk , shes only 10.5 months old and finnished her 1st season about a month and half ago

    could this have any bearing on her appetite :hmm: .

     

    thanks

    right - this is my first ES spaniel , after having 2 greedy labs previously .

    shes a good dog so far , 10 months old springer bitch , smallish type came from a working / trialing dam.

     

    Anyways i,m struggling to get her to eat enough , god knows how shes survived this long.

    so far in the 6 months i,ve had her , shes been on:-

    eukanuba pup , eukanuba cocker , skinners pup , skinners hypo-al duck , chudleys pup , juniour , chudleys classic, gilpa , cheapo working dog etc .

    plus i,ve mixed it with gravy , mince , tuna , sardines , ox heart etc .

     

    shes takes to them for a week , just when i think i,ve cracked it she then refusers them and i have to go and get something different .

     

    i,ve had dogs since i was 14 , thats over 30 years ago , so i should know it all , but this little bitch is really bugging me .i,m worried she wont get the full nutrtion she needs to develope properly etc .

     

    i,ve never come across such a fussy dog , what the hell am i doing wrong

     

    any adivce on this welcomed

    whats the best course of action with timid dogs.

     

    i,m not talking gun shy, think we are ok there at the moment.

     

    its more if i raise my voice or if she knows shes done something wrong or meeting new dogs etc .

    she,ll fall on the floor and wriggle on her back submiting sometimes weeing :good: .

     

    is it best to just ignore it?? :good:
