I found that what helped was transferring her to a larger cage where she can move around more and using the carefresh bedding and a carpet for her to sleep on. I also found that constantly trimming her nails also helped reduce the pressure. They aren’t totally healed, but have gotten better
BunnyMom, thank you for the useful information and yes, shes doing good ive always used timothy hay and i did feed her pellets with an alfalfa base but i switched it to a timothy base which pretty much cleared up the sludge. The only dilemma i have now is whether or not to spay her. Thanks for the info again!
if your dog is very food motivated you could try and distract him/her with treats while the storm is going on. It will teach her that storms are good and she gets treats for them.
i made home-made dog treats about a yr ago when i got the kit as a gift….yea never did that again
it took a little work, smelled "lovely" and im not really a baker ….but its up to you my dog LOVED themok thanks for the tips
im not sure what % protein, but the pellets are alfalfa based, should i switch to timothy?
i feed her timothy hayI myself have never used it, but i know a lot of people that do. It takes work to train your dog where the boundaries are etc, and if a dog is determined enough to go across the "fence" they will, such as after a rabbit or something. It seems to be quite effective though.
she is good, every once in a while i notice it again in her litter box so i tried changing her food to something less rich and reducing her pellet intake and increasing fresh vegetables/hay. it seems to have helped a little
thanks for askingseriously, anyone????????????
it poses a health risk if she actually swallows, if so too much could get built up and not be digested properly causing a blockage which would require surgery to remove worst case scenario
i dont think metal would matter, i mean most cages are made with metal bars….
umm hmmm stop giving him so much maple syrup? because im pretty darn sure dogs weren’t created to eat maple syrup out of trees in the wild (i guess it could happen)
with frequent urination in the house, his diet could have offset the chemical balance in his urine causing crystals to form, if it continues WITHOUT the maple syrup i would definately take him to the vet and get it checked out, it could save a lot of stains!
not to mention the teeth! pricey pricey to get those fixed upsrry…
3) maybe the food thing will work for this too. you could even use her favorite toy to distract her while your walking past the glass windows.heres my advice;
1)when she grabs the treat out of your hand let out a little squeel, this will let her know that she is hurting you and may soften her mouth. (puppies do this to eachother when they are play-fighting)
2)If you are using a harness switch to a collar or halti-head collar for more control. If she is very food motivated have her leash in your right hand and then dangle a treat in your left hand and have her follow the treat on your left. I did this with my puppy with an umbrella! I guess an umbrella is very motivating….make sure he can stretch his legs and start to build up muscle (if he/she is skinny) this will also keep up his energy and in doing so increase his appetite
