OK...Mason is getting alittle too friendly with Mia. He's never seen a woman his size before but HOLY MOLY! It's gettting irritating. I taken the fly swater too him and still keeps on sniffing and trying ti do naughty things. I dont want him to feel like im favoring so what can i do??
ALSO...FOOD. Mason keeps trying to eat Mias food. I free feed them both, his food is in there too but only eats hers and his is to big to where i dont want her eating it!! PLEAsE HELP!!

It is his nature to do "naughty things". Refrain from using a flyswatter on him. Use a belly band instead. He will probably still try but be unsuccessful. I would think that swatting him when he is doing what is in his nature, you are letting him know he is not supposed to be doing that and when you are ready to breed him, he might not for fear he will get swatted. How old is Mason and Mia? I would either quit free feeding them or feed Mia first, and then feed Mason. You could also feed in separate rooms.

I am no expert, these are only suggestions.

I do the same thing, except instead of in a separate room, Tiger is out of the expen while Annika is in it. I also hand feed Annika as she eats way too fast and gets bloated and throws up. Since I have been hand feeding her, she has been fine . . man, we sure spoil our furbabies

Kristi, you've ordered tons of bands from me so another useful way to use it

Mason wears a belly band ata ll times when in the house. It is the mauling of her im thinking about. Hes 13 month old and shes 10 weeks old.

As in swatting him with the fly swatter....its either that or he be locked up and that in my opinion sends a worse messge doesnt it? I usually dont smack him..I hit the table or wall and say NO! I really dont plan on breeding them, that wasnt my intention when i got my female!

I understand that but their just like kids. They need to learn that they have their food they can eat at all times and quit being a jerk and eating her food instead of his.

Are you going to be breeding either one of them? Just get him neutered. Once he's neutered you'll have nothing to worry about

I am scared to death to get him neutured.......

chachi · 07-22-2006, 09:50 AM

Your going to have to have one of them spayed or neutered anyway unless you want pups. Mason would do fine with the neutering

What's so scary about it? If you don't plan on breeding him, you really should get him neutered.

cchu · 07-22-2006, 10:12 AM

I love how you refer to it as "Naughty things". I really like to help but I don't have experience with this problem. I do suggest to have them fixed. It would proling thier lives and makes your easier. Unless you want to breed.

yougetthesmiles · 07-22-2006, 10:40 AM

I agree, getting him neutured would be the wisest thing to do. This will probably mellow him out. I was scared to death when I got Kloeys (RIP) hernia removed, I cried and cried, but it was for the best.
Now I have to do it all over again with Lillie, she will be getting spayed as soon as she is old enough, and I'm sure it will be just as hard, but it's for the best.
make sure you get his blood tested to make sure he can have the anaesthesia.
Good Luck!

Susanbee51 · 07-22-2006, 10:49 AM

Instead of having to say, "Ooops, we were careful, yet Mia is going to have puppies", getting Mason fixed would be the most responsible thing to do. If you have a good Vet, talk to him and voice your concerns. Mason is young and should have no problems. I agree with the other posts, it would make your life and the furkids much better.

Just remember w/ these procedures, they have the same risks as any other surgery w/ the anestia and all. Theres no need to worry more about a little puppy then a big dog or a person. Hope that helps

ytsirk27 · 07-22-2006, 11:00 AM

Ok..I get the point on neuturing.(no sarcasm is there i swear) However hes always in a band so im not real concerned right now. The food situation I request is the focal point. Any suggestions on that?

There still might be that one time that he's not in a band though, and there are tons of other reasons to get your dog neutered that have already been posted on here.
