DOGS

Just heard this one TV. A dog trainer said to stop hole digging by my dog, I should toss one of her turds in the hole and lightly bury it.

I let her out this morning, started my coffee, microwaved chicken breast and green beans to mix in her dry food, then let her in. I laughed at her nose that was caked in dirt. She might have a disappointment coming when I pick up this morning.

I'll make a full report

Tried that with mixed success.

been avoiding this thread, I'm a "bury my head in the sand" type; and did not want to jinx anything.......

I skimmed through what I missed, my heart goes out to those dealing with loss and medical issues; as a Doggy Daddy, that stuff scares the crap out of me..........

anyway, we had our own issue; but the outcome is positive, thank goodness.....

Rebel had a nasty "mass tumor" removed from the top of his back foot. This was done 2 weeks ago tomorrow. The doctor obviously removed surrounding tissue and we were waiting on a biopsy to see if all was removed. Just got the phone call, and surgery was a success!

They had given him the "largest cone they ever installed" ........ and he was bumping into everything

so the cone came off almost immediately....... we covered the wound at night, and kept an eye on him during the day.

he was pretty much full speed in less then 2 days, and was impossible to keep him down........ of course, he blew out his stitches about day 4 or 5, so the wife (former nurse) made sure things were ok...... he will have a nasty scar, but we do not care....... he's been super happy as usual...... she painted the cone for a photo op

I saw an inflatable cone (ring), maybe that would work. I took the cone off too soon and my pup got an infection. Another $700, ouch.

Had Magnum, my deaf dog, fixed, and he kept the cone on for two weeks, me repairing it every couple days. What a nightmare. He crashed into EVERYTHING.

Glad to hear Rebel will be fine. I know all about the cone of shame. They will take you out in a heart beat and run into everything.

Should try having an exotic like a prairie dog.....forget about a cone or any kind of a bandage because they will remove it in short order!! Man....they are nuts lol

Poor Rebel
glad he's all OK now & on the mend

it was like 4 feet across!

Magnum, with the only shot of him ever, with both ears up. Due 100% to the cone of shame. Only a couple shots of him, with one ear up, a distinct rarity. Hearing doesn't work, so his ears don't respond like a normal shepherd.

 

[33 IMP]

They all wanna go outside and chase balls and play tug-o-war, even if it is 110°.
I love my pooches, so here we go.....for no more than five or ten minutes. I may be crazy,but not THAT crazy!

Thor got a new duck

and Rebel got a new Big Mike!

I love all dogs, plain and simple. I go to Lowes on Saturday because I know there will be dogs there. If I see a dog, I always ask the owner if it’s alright to meet them. That is usually always met with a yes, and I’m in heaven. Sometimes no, and I respect that, and I always thank the owner for letting me meet them, and I always say goodbye to the pup. My family knows how much I love dogs, so they put up with me, I just think dogs are the greatest gift to man that God ever made. And horses too….and this is coming from a life long cat lover!

Scary stuff, good to hear he's ok, such a good looking dog.

My wife and I are on our last Husky. She's a wonderful girl, with an insane amount of personality and affection. Like all our previous others, she's a rescued furball. Mishka has spent the last 4 months in a cone. She had a cancerous growth removed from her front leg. She kept messing with the surgery site, making it a near impossibility to heal properly. She hasn't changed much, but she uses the cone as a weapon, and has destroyed 2 already. We took her to an oncologist for help. We're running a regiment of new foods, supplements, ointments and herbs, to get one scabbed area to quit scabbing. If she doesn't go after that area, we can remove the cone. She's not in pain, but is a dog and will chew and lick an injured area. Infection set in without the cone and her licking. This is our only option, at this point. We just want our little girl to resume a normal daily life, till she times-out.
We love Mishka...so much.

Hope Mishka heals soon.

Poor girl Mishka (pretty girl too)
I hope it completely heals soon, so she doesn't have to wear 'the cone of shame'

my dog Elvis hates it, he just shuts down when he has to wear one
it's sad to see, I've had dogs that didn't care, just awkward with it on

hears to a full & speedy recovery

Nice looking Huskey, best wishes on her healing.
