Forgive me for being intrusive but, I have 2/1/2 acres,my dogs can run on freely. I can't see everything they might try to bite into or lick.
I know my dogs have hunted down mice, ground squirrels, chip monks, moles, in my yard. My Angel vomited a mouse she ate last year. I was so grossed out. I took her to the vet the next day because I was so worried it might have eaten poisoning before she ate it.
I have 5 parks I can take my dogs to walk in and if they eat or lick anything there. I have a puppy that got sick with in 1 week of going to a park, and getting the 2nd distemper vaccine. The vet doesn't think his recent illness was from either of the above. He has been a vet since 1976. He has been a vet for several kennels in our ar |
My dogs live inside of a very clean house and they have access only to a small area of the back garden where I can monitor what they come into contact with. If you want a dog you can take for walks in the woods or public parks, get a big one that isn't prone to these health problems. A Yorkshire Terrier is a delicate little lap dog not meant to be walking through all this dirty stuff. People have to apply some sense to the situation!
