Soap wey even if na mistake dog take eat am they go just shit the thing out or just vomit am. But this one need palm oil plus vitamin E #endrant

lol

IamAnderson:
On Wednesday I got home and heard that Roscoe vomitted twice when I wasn't around.
I also noticed he was sluggish and he was laying down too much so I did a quick check-up on him.
All his vitals were looking normal so I felt maybe he just has a stomach irritation or something.
Later that day, he vomited 4 more times and he was also drooling too much, saliva was literally pouring out of his mouth and his eyes were rolling like he was dizzy.
I started panicking and went to check his newest vomit, when I looked at it I noticed it smelled like soap and also I found particles of soap in it.
After some minutes of investigation, I found out he ate a whole bar of soap that someone left outside.
I hurriedly forced palm oil down his throat and also gave him vitamin E tablet to swallow(it's a good antioxidant).
After that I put him on watch till I noticed the drooling and vomiting stopped.
I then gave him a lot of cold water to drink( he drinks cold water more than room temperature water).
I had to make sure he drank a lot to hydrate him after loosing much fluids, I also washed the remaining soap stuck in his teeth out then I fed him that night so he'll regain his strength.

He's fine now, the next day he regained himself and became active again.
I'm just glad it wasn't something more toxic and I was able to give him first aid fast.
In a different situation he could have been killed, I'm so happy nothing happened.

This is the second time he's scaring me with what he consumed, when he was about 6 months old I came back and he ran out to greet me, he was so excited he grabbed my handkerchief and ate it.
We had to wait a few days before he passed it out.
It could have caused an intestinal blockage or choked him but luckily nothing happened.

Gud to know he is fine nw

IamAnderson:
yeah that's true especially those chicken neck bones or spines

yeah

vincentjk:
Fine, I don't brush mine tho Murphy had a pure white set of teeth while Gustaf's is kinda yellowish lol

Cropping is a no for me

But the tail is docked. Just finish up the job and crop the ears.

IamAnderson:
I automatically start feeling disdain towards somebody once I find out how they treat animals badly. I've quarrelled with people because of my dog before

my cousin once told me about how he killed his gsd puppy because it ate his food by smashing it on the wall.
he also killed a Caucasian puppy that was gifted to him because according to him he left it with his female gsd and it couldn't impregnate her, I don't even know whether he knows about heat periods or that a 5 month old puppy can't procreate.
he killed the puppy and used it to entertain his guests.
since then, I never liked him, he was also trying to tell me to beat by dog when he was a 3 month old puppy to make him aggressive.
he's not allowed anywhere near my dog anymore

hmmmm. He enjoys killing dogs....pure wickedness

Gracemadeit:
Thanks. Her food are, apu & egusi soup with head of fish, biscuit bone and sometimes with pig meat.

cool

It's saddening.. I have once seen a good greyhound (used by hunter to chase down a prey) tied with rope, in a bike. Abt three of them they had fear in their eyes. One of it fell while the bike was motion, and let out a really big. The owner just told the bike man to stop, smiled and went to fetch the one that fell. The frightened dog hesitated cos it had not recovered from the shock yet (even humans will b in shock with such experience). The man just bundled the dog forcefully and zoomed off. I felt for the dog

Nawa oo. Dat is y I cannot trust anybody that kills dogs.

shyron:
Wow i have a local breed a she very funny dog wen she was abt 4month old she always wanted to leave d compound and now she is a professional fence jumper jxt to get out lol

Lol...she sounds troublesome . Although, dats a good trait, it means she is flexible and agile. Can we see some pics pls

Gracemadeit:
My two-month-old bailey is doing great. Very intelligent and playful.

beiley is looking cute and happy. Wats her feeding like?

so a friend of mine started complaining, saying DAT am not supposed to vaccinate or inject my dog so DAT the meat will be sweet..lol. It was so hilarious and I was like; did I tell u I wanted to sell my dog in the first place or is it because it is a local breed which means it must be eaten.
Our local dogs have suffered in the hands of Nigerians. I even saw one the other day tied to the back of a motorcycle (okada), you could see fright in it's eye......so heartbreaking. Someone actually told me DAT he can sell my dog for me at the price of 15k. I was so furious; I told him never to tell me such a thing again, my dog is not for sale.Some even start to insult me saying that I am just wasting money for nothing.
Mehn, our local dogs have suffered.

Lonelypacifist6:
pet food Alpo, JoJo, Dallas Cooked food Rice mixed with Egg or fish, Boiled chicken, Noodles mixed with egg or chicken Moimoi "Not regular"

Her diet is fantastic.There must be something wrong somewhere. How long have u had her? and has she been picky since day one? Try giving multivitamins after u conclude the deworming. Do not give the multivitamins and deworm pills at the same time.If nothing changes, go see a professional vet not these fake ones.

Lonelypacifist6:
Hello petlanders, I've this Dog that doesn't eat as a dog should sometimes she wastes the food I've asked to be given to her, Note this is traditional pet food or cooked human food, If I'm around I've to hand feed her myself, She goes Days without eating sometimes. I'm afraid now because I'll be traveling and I won't be there to do the feeding it she doesn't eat, is there anything I can use to boost her appetite?

tobilavish:

Yea. I guessed as much. I am just waiting to find the right bitch for him

peeta4u:
wht is d name of ur tick and flea repellent?

Amitraz. It can be dangerous if not properly used

phunkypalace:
Okay what type of work are you referring to here cause it seemhouse to you a working dog is just any dog you put at home to secure your houseyou for you.

In my statement, I didn't just say guarding. Hunting, therapy e.t.c

phunkypalace:
Okay, to your first paragraph...be sure to know there is a difference between a working dog and a dog from a working bloodline. A working dog is actually working and he/she is present in service, he/she has been tested, selected and approved. The working bloodline just shows the required dog has a known history of more than five generations of dogs that have worked or in some cases are still working.

When you call a dog a working dog, it is not about mere saying alone, it is not a dog just running after rats alone or killing some bush meat for you. The dog goes through a lot of series of tests even a gun shot test before he/she is selected and approved. Those that failed will not work, they can be used in breeding but they can't be called a working dog. When you take the dog working to the field he/she becomes a working dog.

Now to the aspect of bloodline, yes his dog might not be from a working bloodline and yet be a working dog, but this dog has to show the desired traits needed in a working dog, must have passed the tests, selected and approved. A dog from a working bloodline that is roaming about in a Kennel or he's being caged down is not a working dog, he/she just have an advantage of being picked for a test ahead of this dog we are talking about. When the time comes for trainers to test some working dogs, dogs with no known history of working can never be selected.

For your dog to be guarding , hunting, tracking, etc like you mentioned, it's not just a mere say. He/she would have been approved.

We are still saying the same thing. As far as ur dog works and excels perfectly in doing it. The dog is a working dog.

Superb. This is more like it. Imagine you writing more of this, without anyone asking you for it. When you see a movie esp the foreign ones, try to learn new words from them. Use them when writing, it will brush up your writing skills and the thread will be more interesting and educating.
It's important he knew what he was chastised for. I will suggest you try walking him out. Probably he wants to explore his environment. Possible he can also sense a bitch around the vicinity on heat. Kudos to you. And lovely shots you have here. I will take a rear sit kow and check up on the thread from time to time.. Once again, weldone. Don't worry about getting likes, shares or people commenting on your thread: many won't give them to you, though they enjoy reading your thread.
N.B:Don't let it discourage you.
Also when you take screenshots, you can try to crop the pix so those details above don't show and it won't be obvious it's a screenshot. I hope I am not ruining the thread. I will take a rear seat now
There are no bad dogs, only bad owners

Alright bro. Thanks alot and I really appreciate ur help.

phunkypalace:
Well firstly I'll commend you for doing a bit of online research. It's very good because you'll be needing it the more in the nearest future.

Secondly, it is you who is getting it all wrong. You'll observe I didn't jump into conclusions but I asked you a question. And please keep an open mind to what I have to say. Looking back at some of my post, I said it there that the line your dog belongs to is not based on the looks, it is based on how your dog was bred. The pedigree of your dog is what will tell you the line he/she belongs to. If you say your dog is a working line GSD, you should be able to prove it, who are the parents or who are the grandparents?...Have they been in a working field before?..Has anyone in his/her lineage been tested in the schutzhund or IPO training before, were they awarded titles? I asked because these are what can point us to the specific line your dog belongs to. You folks need to stop this misconception of using the topline and angulation of GSDs especially when stacked to judge if they are a working line or a showline GSD.

You also mentioned about your dog meeting the physical and non physical attributes of a standard working line GSD. Who told you that bro? Has a professional and licensed judge accessed your dog before?..ln a case whereby there is no judge, the pedigree of your dog points you to what your dog is.

The pedigree you think is just some written and documented ancestral lineage alone?...Nah..it's more than that. It's a big tool in the hand of any breeder. I will never call any of my GSDs a specific line without any proof.

I'll cite an example to you, if you know Household, tell him you need a working line GSD, he will tell you the working line he has is the DDR. Ask for the name of the parents of any puppy you are making enquiries about. Take the names and look them up...look at the names behind each and every dog..you'll fully understand what I'm telling you because behind these said names he'll be giving you, you'll see dogs that have truly worked and have been licensed to use for breeding too. The pedigree says a lot than names of parents alone. The problem is the fact that majority don't know how to read the pedigree of a dog hence they say it's just some names written down. If you're an aspiring breeder, you need to read a lot bro and I mean a lot.

Finally your dog is good, I'm not saying she's isn't well bred or whatever but can you prove it to us that she's a working line?...Not all dogs are working dogs bro. Cheers!

U have a point in what u said bro. But I believe that a working dog is a dog that work. U might get a pup from a working bloodline but the owner might decide not to train it and leave it to lazy around the house or keep it restricted throughout its life. Will u call that dog a working dog. His dog might not be from a working bloodline but still do a lot of work like guarding , hunting, tracking, therapy etc. I strongly believe that wat makes ur dog a working dog is the ability for ur dog to work and not just by coming from a working bloodline.

I initially asked about you canines routine cos I expected some sweet narration.
Will be looking forward to getting your updates

Thanks bro. Funny enough, something actually happened at 5am this morning. The gate was mistakenly left unlocked and jack wasn't restricted. At the slightest opportunity he escaped from the compound and off he went. I tried calling his name but it didn't work and I couldn't chase after him cause he was as fast as the wind. My biggest worry was him charging at people which is exactly wat happened. My neighbor was on his way to fetch water in the well just outside their compound. He was holding these stainless buckets which made funny noises as he walked. Jack without hesitation attacked him and out of fear he ran and threw the two buckets at jack. Jack dodged the bucket and it gave the man the opportunity and time to run to a safe zone were the dog couldn't reach. U would be surprised how fast a man can run wen he is under attack. I was just standing and watching as this played out maybe out of shock. Jack kept on running and running until I couldn't see him anymore. I came back to my house and left the gate opened praying that he would come back before people filled the street. After about 40 minutes jack returned exhausted. I was waiting at the entrance of my house when he saw me and came for petting. I ignored the life out of him and restricted him immediately as punishment. He knew he did bad that's why he couldn't look me in the eye again until after an hour wen I came back to pet him.
Lately, he has been trying really hard to leave the compound at all cost. Maybe its the hormones .

okikiosibodu:
Great.. Is there anyway you can integrate it into the thread. Not just show us pix, but talk about your activities together. If he does somethng out of the usual (say killed a snake, lizard, socialised with another dog, etc), it will make the thread more interesting. Great job you are doing, I must confess. Kudos to you

okay,thanks for the advice. I noticed it was kinda boring

Spanishmilf:
is Roscoe is for sale??
saw him for sale on jiji.

lol.....iamanderson pls start water marking ur pictures

okikiosibodu:
Can you describe how a typical week is like, for fearless Jack

lol...as aggressive as he can be, he loves lots of cuddling and petting. He is usually restrained throughout the day and only released in the evening because people do enter d compound during d day and I don't want to hear stories that touches. Fed every 12pm and 10pm. He became nocturnal due to this routine. Being active at night and sleepy almost throughout the day.

okikiosibodu:
I think a starting point should be... For the visitor feeding him. At first, let then visitor be the knw to hold his food, and let Jack see the visitor witj his food, while you make sure Jack is secured so you don't have to separate "fight". Initially, you do the serving but the visitor brings the food to him). Gradually, the visitor does the serving.. With time, other factors will play out. But its important yourself don't feel nervous (though there should not be a reason for you to be) cos the dog will sense that in you, and will naturally want to protect you

nice write up. I'll try it

space9880:
