How do I change my avatar?

Flash made he close his eyes...

Sorry I think the pic is oversized.

First time here, this is my quiet boy:

Melanie, This is a first-seizure issue. You have described (and very well done) a typical generalized tonic-clonic spell; the behavior after the seizure is called a "post-ictal confusional state", and may last from several minutes to a few hours. Complete recovery is a rule. As you have me...

A stranger may think he is deprived of a "vocal" apparatus... In fact, my dog does not bark, except: 1 - Under the circumstance of heavy raining with loud thunders... 2 - Fireworks after a soccer match... 3 - When DREAMING... In the middle of the night, scarcely, I have heard a softly &quo...

Yes, that makes sense, the other dogs behave as if they were afraid of him... Poor harmless guy!

Most times when I go out with Freddie for a walk, and he meets other dogs (poodles, yorks, etc), they bark at him, growl at him, behave unfriendly, even when he is just approaching... Why this happens?... Freddie has a very good temper, in fact, the most passive and docile I have ever seen in a dog....

Freddie is 7-month-old, with 35 pounds... He wont be a big boy. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/rodrigo_and_freddie/freddie30-4-200700031.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosti...

According to his vet/breeder, this issue probably is related to rapid feeding... He has not found anything wrong with Freedie... Told me to reduce the amount of food and consider those raised bowls!

Victory,

I may be wrong, but I think that ticks are ubiquitous... And strongly disagree that they are bothering only the sick puppies... As a matter of fact, most of parasites lead to asymptomatic infestations, as it would be disadvantageous for them killing their hosts...

One more...

Hum... It worked... <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/rodrigo_and_freddie/freddie30-4-200700045.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>

Heartworm? I do not think so... We live far from the coast... Hi, I am trying to post a picture... <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/rodrigo_and_freddie/freddie30-4-200700043.jpg" border="0" alt=...

Hi,

I was curious about how popular anti-tick collars are amongts chow owners... I know they are potentially hazardous; even though I have got one for Freddie.

P.S.:

Sorry for my English, it is not my native language.

Merlin, Very interesting and useful information... I have heard about those raised bowls before... But not about the system you have showed us... Grains inflate in the stomach... I see this in his water bowl... Yeah, that makes sense... Cheryl, I will post a pic of him as soon as I get a decent one....

Thank you so far for your concern... Frederico (Freddie) is a red chow-chow puppy, european standard; he weights almost 15 kg now; has been previously chipped, vermifugated and vaccinated. He wears a Bayern´s anti-tick collar and has been fed with small bite-sized super-premium kibbles only; he gets...

Hi, I am new to this forum and would like some help. I own a 7 month year-old chow; I have noticed some ocasional gagging; sometimes he gags and throws up clear stomach material. Provocative factors may be rapid feeding (not immediately) or random at the day. He has done it once when I was hugging h...
