GERMAN SHEPHERD PUPPY SUFFERING. Needs help!

[docgorio]

dapat yata eh pilayin muna yang bayaw mo tapos palagyan din ng metal fins yung tuhod at hita nyan para amanos na sila nung pups mo....

I can relate to this....My father gave me a pup as a birthday gift when I was in grade 3 I named him Kung Fu and he was a very good dog and a good friend.... When I started college was the only time that we've been apart.....first time na di ako ang nagpapaligo sa kanya and ang sabi ng mom ko non eh bigla raw naging malungkot and he moved his sleeping station to our main door.....whenever I go home for a sem break he' very happy and doesnt want to be away with me whenever I go he will go...kahit sa panliligaw....hehehe By the time I graduated college he was very old na...he's eyes are starting to fail him and we cannot do anything...but he still follows me and I can still see the happiness on his face whenever I was around... He died of old age a year after I graduate at the foot of my bed (almost 14 yrs.)...I can still remember that he licked my hand and arm at wee hours of the morning, and even told him that it was too early for him to wake me up (he always do that when he was still a pup, if he wants to go out or if he's hungry).....I cried I felt that I lost a brother, he's such a loyal friend, I also had a cat at that time and he knew that the cat is also a part of our family and he never chase her but the other stray cat he has a lot of fun chasing them.... I didnt have a dog after that......but my older brother still have a dog....


Now my daughters want a dog.... and I think I will give them a dog....she wants a chow-chow or a spaniel...

now where can I find a chow chow?? I think its time to have another dog in the family...

How old are your daughters???

It will all depend on how old your children are and how they will keep up with the maintenance of the dog...

Chowchows have very dense coats and because of our tropical climate they shed hair incessantly. Same with the Cocker Spaniel though between the two I'd go for a Spaniel because of their very amiable temperament...

IMHO, I'd go for short haired ones like a Beagle...

docgorio...

shes 9 yrs old....and she really wants a pet dog....hehehe parang ako nung bata pa ako....mahilig ako sa cats and dogs....

Thanks for the advice, baka mapabago ko pa isip nya regarding the chow chow or spaniel...we probably shop for a dog by the end of this month....

we will try to look for a Beagle as well...baka magbago pa isip nya... ayaw nya nga ng Dalmatians (my brother have one and he's quite big na...hhehehe)

any advice where to look at?

sa mga vet clinics ka maghanap bro, nagre-refer kasi sila sa mga nanganganak na alaga ng mga customers nila. dahil dito, masisigurado mo na maganda ang lahi ng mabibili nyo. saan ba ang location mo?

beagles tend to be gluttons and they howl

remember this are originally fox hounds

definitely big dog in small body

daschunds are great with kids too

mandaluyong area bro....salamat sa tip....

[docgorio]

Yes Beagles tend to get obese because of their insatiable appetites... Good diet control would keep it in check...

They are a free spirited lot; it's like a kid with attention deficit disorders... They want to track every scent they pick up but finish nothing... Temperament wise they are so so nice and patient with children...

I suggest you start with a small dog with short hair... I also suggest you watch some dog shows. You can read the Sunday edition of the Manila Bulletin for schedules of dog shows. It's in the classifieds under Pets. This way your children can decide which one...

Bunge is also correct in looking into vets' clinic for puppies. Try your best to avoid pet stores as they will most probably come from "puppy farms"

mandaluyong area bro....salamat sa tip....

Wow! tamang tama, doon ka sa VETS IN PRACTICE pumunta. 148 San Francisco. Nasa taas sya ng Doggie Land Pet Supply... Very accomodating sila lahat doon. Sigurado ako na meron silang maire-refer sa iyo na magandang pang pet at magandang breed. Try to check na rin yong cute Vet doon.... hehehe.

[nugundam93]

congrats sir bunge! :D

[bunge]

uyyy, salamat sa inyo lahat! kung di dahil dito sa tsikot.com nakow, malamang tigok o putol na ang paa ng puppy dog namin... dami talaga natutulungan ang mga forum na ganito.

[margaux]

congratulations bunge..good to hear about that..

[docgorio]

bro bunge,

How's your dog these past few days???

[seonadancing]

Pre, bakit di mo balikan yun vet na kausap mo dati na nagsabi na wala na pag asa yun dog. Yun dapat yun lumpuhin e, what kind of a vet would say such thing eh may magagawa pa naman pala. Isabay mo na sa brother in law mo itong vet nato.

I've always wanted a dog kaso bawal sa bahay pero mag aapon ako ng aso ng gf ko, they have 4 kasi and her sis and bro are leaving for the states so sabi ko hiramin ko muna yun isa hehehe.

bro bunge,

Sir Cute, puppy doggie is doing fine. His appettite is improving, swelling is contained within the wound area. He can stand up with his 3 legs already and able to pee-pee and poo-poo on his favorite spot. And the best thing is that he can wag his tail already with gusto. Nawala na yong lungkot sa mukha nya at di na umuungol sa sakit. Nakikipaglaro na rin. Thanks for the concern.

*Seonadancing, Di ko na kailangan sisitahin. Dami lang mawawalang customers sa kanila, dahil doon ko na ni-refer sa Mandaluyong. Naiintindihan ko rin naman sila dahil honest naman sila na di nila talaga kaya yong case na ganoon. Nakakainis lang kung bakit ayaw mag-refer sa iba o humingi ng tulong sa ibang clinic. Actually, yong mga vets na yon e kaklase pa yata noong ibang vets doon sa Mandaluyong kaya nagtataka din sila kung bakit di kami ni-refer e alam naman daw nila na merong surgeon talaga ng mga aso. Hay nakow, buhay nga naman. Pati ba naman sa profession na ito e may professional jealousy na kahit buhay ng pets ang nakataya e meron pa rin matataas ang ihi. Kaya wag po payo ko sa inyo, di porke nasa sosing lugar ang vet clinic e magagaling talaga sila, pero totoo namang magagaleng. TINAMAAN NG MAGAGALENG!
