Reminds me of Summer camp as a young sprout; there was a loud speaker that played a similar rapid Bugle tune to call us to the Mess Hall. It was a Mess after all had their Chow. :lol: :-oo :roll: Zoey's meal time behavior is to first go down the stairs to be let out the door to the fenced dog run to...

Chow Chows are prone to front leg knee problems. There have been many articles on this Forum about this, I think the abbreviation for it is ACL. I mention this since you said the pain came on suddenly. Rymadil as you know has side effects that may cause the Animal to discontinue its use and in some ...

Thanks for the encouragement Juniper to not give up and sympathy for the two unfortunate
Chows Chows who passed on, they are running; free of pain forever.

Thanks for the advice Boogie and Linda for moving Chows Chows unfamiliar to an Adopter. It is upsetting to think this Chow Chow will die because of my inexperience. I handled this Chow Chow the same way I handled my four other Rescues of which only Zoey remains. Today I went to the Veterinarian to g...

Sunday I adopted a Cream eleven year old Female Chow Chow from a No Kill Shelter. I was told she had too go to their Animal Clinic for a few vacinations. I had only visited the Dog three times and walked her the last two times. She seemed to have a great low key temperament and was in with another S...

Zoey is continuing her nightly check for Abby. She is getting extra attention now since she is the only one. Sunday night I took Abby's collar, harness and leash off her pillow and Zoey took notice to the items missing. Zoey has been staying outside for longer periods of time now; only she knows wha...

A Veterinarian I use to take my Chows to; told me with several products only supplied through an Animal Hospital, he received a commission for selling those products. Animal care is a business for profit and it is up to the owner to make a decision using the vast amount of information available to u...

Since Abby's unexpected departure across the Bridge; Zoey my Blue eleven year old Chow ends the day going to sleep on her pillow after the last relief outing. Just as I go to retire Zoey will get up, making her Chow sounds wanting to go out to the dog run. At first I thought it was for the final cal...

As Pinoy51 proves her Chow Chow Nala has pointed ears and open face (wide eyes, less pout mouth). Each Breeder of Chow Chow has developed characteristics which they prefer to see in the Dogs they breed. Round ear, pointed ear, open face, closed face. Rough, Smooth coats, Red, Black, Blue, Cream or C...

Welcome Chow Chow Fan =}= :x \:D/ Better to refer to yourself as "Breeder". Backyard Breeder here means person who does not care about Dogs health or quality, just the money they can make selling them. =; Here Chow Chows are prized for their intelligence, affection, loyalty, and appearance...

Backyard breeder? :mrgreen: Price of white Chows, more expensive. :idea: Barnyard animals/Dogs the same, like Mill breeders. [-X :?: Or could it be culture differences; loss of meaning in translation. /:) Are you asking what is more popular type of Chow Chow feature; open face ( wide eyes, longer no...

You are in tune with Chows. Hope all proceeds as planned, slow and easy. You must teach your young one the do's and don'ts of Chow handling to avoid a mishap. Keep us up to date.

I agree, get a second opinion; a dry eye test, topical eye medication or wait to see if the problem corrects itself, unless excessive yellow discharge is present. Have the cornea checked for scratches using dye as Rory's Dad has said. I was told once by a Horse trainer that an Equestrian Veterinaria...

Must have been a slow news day in the Animal world, so they pulled those articles out of the round file.
I must agree JasonandNat, there are better things to Post, I should pay more attention to those Omens.
Now I know why my Chows Veterinarian calls small breeds Land Sharks.

Just like humans Chow Chows can be different in size, shape and color. Having a Chow Chow that is part another breed is not all bad. Your Chico looks to be a Chow Chow to me. Maybe the other Chow Chows you have seen are not pure and that is why they are larger. If your Chico is happy and healthy you...

Maybe it was a bad omen that I had trouble logging in to post these links.

I have started looking for a new Pal for lonely Zoey. I felt the longer I grieved for poor Abby, that the longer some other dog stays in a cage. I have read a Puppy can rejuvenate an older dog, but can they be a too active for an older dog? Would an older Adult be better? Your experiences and advice...

Nice Cream Chow. Female or Male Older Great tongue color, pout and muzzle fur.
I like the serious expression also; very Chow

Anchor, Mule; which ever analogy you choose, I defiantly think this is a Chow control tactic thing. You are fortunate none of the drivers were engaged in a heated cell phone conversation and looked right through you. As for the land shark and its owner, sounds like two of a kind. Glad to hear Whitby...

Thank you all for your kind words. This was very sudden and unexpected. Abby tried to hide her pain and gave a final lick on my hand before going to find Leo and Kamie; to run and play forever. This lose is very hard to take.

Update on Abby: Abby was relieved of her suffering late afternoon last Saturday September 7, 2013. An Ultra Sound examination at another Clinic showed a mass on her one Kidney where her Adrenal Gland should have been. The next procedure a C.T. scan could not be preformed until she had been on a twic...

Abby was set free from the pain to run free forever and join her recently departed new friend Leo. I will never regret turning back to St. Louis to take the chance of adding a new member to the pack. Zoey and I will miss you very much, we enjoyed you presence for the short nine months you were with ...

I took Abby to the Emergency clinic yesterday; she was not doing well. She had been sick during the night, went on her morning walk, shorter than normal, rested, ate her kibble then brought it up. Her regular Vet. said they could give her some Pepcid antacid but I could see her getting more lethargi...

Paws crossed, hope he has recovered.

If the infection is not too advanced, treat it with some drying type liquid ear cleaner form your Veterinarian. I use Vir-Bac (manufacturer), Epi-Otic Advanced. I put a generous amount on a cotton ball and swab in the ear, as you wipe some will drip down in the ear canal. Hope he does not start scra...
