Took him for a walk again today. We avoided doggie encounters by moving to the other side of the street. Barking dogs in yards got his attention, but we were able to give a small tug at the leash and he'd continue along. He was barking at people a bit. Not trying to bite, and not really...

I'm sure this has been answered at some point, and if somebody can point me towards that discussion that would be helpful. My Aiden is about 14 or 15 weeks now. He has completed his series of Parvo shots and has been on his 3rd walk now. He's doing a very good job at walking beside us and...

Thanks to those who replied. I think it was an adverse effect from the medication, as his stools are back to normal now. He just farted on my lap so he probably still has some gastrointestinal issues (pew! stinky boy!!!). If I notice any more diarrhea my vet will be getting a call right away!

Okay, maybe I am being paranoid... Today my new puppy got his first exam and worm-treatment (Drontal K-9). Aiden isn't acting any differently, but I just noticed that his stool is much softer and he had a bit of diarrhea. Now I'm freaked out because even though he was normal in his exam...

My puppy is doing the same thing, but he's only about 8 weeks. He is fine when we first put him in the crate, but at about 1:00 am, right when he usually wants his first pee pee break, putting him back in the crate is a huge ordeal. I finally got frustrated enough to cover his crate with a...

deworming For those of you wondering, he is getting de-wormed today, along with his first general checkup.

Okay, the shelter told me that one of the parents is a mini Australian shepherd, but I don't think he looks like an Aussie puppy. They've estimated that he'll get to be about 20 lbs max - which seems about right as he has pretty small paws. I really have no clue what breeds he has in him...

That would be in 3 weeks for his 2nd set of shots. Can't wait for him to be up-to-date so we can take him out of the yard!

Hmm, I always thought they wormed with pills... I had his first set of parvo shots the day after I got him and they were SUPPOSED to worm him at the same time (free with the shot during shot clinic). I called the vet to confirm after the fact, as it slipped my mind, and they didn't do it...

He is about 8 weeks old. And he is approx. 5 lbs - measured on a "people scale." He's not too "talkative" but he does get yappy when he doesn't feel like sleeping in his crate. Pretty mellow most of the time.

Maybe some Australian Shepherd in there?? I can see why people are guessing Corgi as well...

Just got my baby, Aiden, from a shelter the other day. Anybody wanna take a few stabs about what different breeds might make up this little masterpiece? The volunteer at the shelter told me the supposed breed of one of the parents, but I wanted to keep that information quiet till I get a...
