tail biting. i just got a puppy and his first week with me he was fine then his second week he started biting his tail/butt.. i dont know if he's just chasing it or if it is itching. people have told me its the dry air and he has to get used to it or if he's allergic to his antibiotics [which ive stopped giving to him already]. i dont know what to do. the vet has just told me its because of the desert weather but i feel so bad. he doesnt play anymore or run arround at all. he cant even sleep at night he's too busy biting his tail and even cries because of it. i dont know what to do already. ive stopped giving him his antibiotics ive tried oatmeal shampoo. i dont know. please help. |
Has the vet checked his anal sac?? If it is that, the vet can show you how to"squeeze" out the contents yourself. I do that for my girl everytime I bathe her and she has stopped that rear end biting. |
Would running a humidifier help? We had a really dry winter and I ran my humidifier and it seemed to help with my little one's cough and dry skin. Just a thought. |
What food are you feeding it could be a food allergy? |
Quote:
im feeding him NUTRO puppy food. the pet shop that i bought my puppy from said that's what theyve been feeding him. so i dont think its a food allergy. |
nutro was recalled you need to get him to a vet to get checked I'll try and find the website for pet fod recall ok |
Only moist nutro was recalled |
what food would you recommend. |
but she didn't say if it was moist she could be feeding him moist we need to find out so we can help her |
I'm cooking for my new puppy |
the pet shop gave me some moist food and a bag of dry.. ive been using the dry. and im about to toss that moist food out. |
oh I'm cooking for my puppy cause ther doing a recall on dry and canned and pig ears and more so I'm not taking any chances of my puppy getting sick |
just got back from the vet and he himself wasnt sure what was causing the itch. but he was certain that its gotten infected. and his cure was to keep him from scratching it and put some cream on it. now my poor baby has to wear a lamp shade.. oh well, just as long as he gets better. i swear, i think i've been sold a "bad" puppy. since ive brought him home he's had a parasite and kennel cough now an infection. all in just two weeks. oh dear, i love him anyway. |
wow I didn't know about that do you have any pictures of him before this or most resent or something cause he could have a food allergy from nutro have you tried going to a different vet cause I have two vets that live down the street from me. |
wow you purchased him from a pet shop? sorry it just caught my attention. i hope it he gets to feeling better... |
