get canine caviar.

*Urgent Advice*

Brought my puppy for 3rd vaccination jab yesterday. Feed him like normal this morning (without soaking with water, purely kibbles), then something happened 5pm+ I played with him running here and there and feed him a couple of kibbles, I found that after dinner about 7+pm under the tray there are soaked wet kibbles.

I picked it up and smell and confirm it's the fish4dogs kibbles. There's like 6-7 on the tray and a couple dropped outside the cage! I assume it is the recent kibble I fed about 5pm+.

I'm assuming he vomited. Can anyone clarify this?

Is it normal?

Under what circumstances he vomited?

I just fed him dinner this time soaked with some water hoping he won't throw up this time.

He is still actively running around, eating his food licking his bowl but he isn't drinking any water even if I force him to.

thanks juenting.. hehe very hard to take a good picture of her as she moves a lot, the only way to let her stay still is to show her a treat and ask her to sit down lol

I am not so sure but vomit can sometime relate to eating too fast. Not sure bout your puppy. Better to check with your vet if you suspect really he vomited

haha... woww you even teach yours 'take picture' command yaya, seing them learning makes us feel happy. i hope can teach her without using treats too

Hi my toy poodle is on heat and ready to mate now. Anyone has a male poodle around Puchong area to mate with my female poodle? Thank you.

The pad is optional depend on you itself. In my case, I'll only let them wear the pads if I bring them out with me (but I never bring them out to park whenever they're on heat) or to minimize my household activities If I just let them roam like usual, I need to mop the floor few times a day so normally I will let them wear the pad and changed daily so it wont stain on my floor. It's not a must but more like optional as for licking the private part is normal for them to do that so dont worry. The period will last for about 2 weeks++ as far as I know

Dorian has this problem recently, so I asked the vet about this. So he told there are 2 types of "discharges" - vomitted "soaked kibbles" or the poodles have diarrhea.

There are 2 reason why a poodle would vomit "soaked kibbles":
1. They eat too fast
2. They have gassy stomach

And the reason why the poodle will have diarrhea is because the food is dirty.

Suggestions:
1. Keep your poodles in their cage after meals, avoid them having running or jumping at least 1 hour after meal.
2. Do not feed to much at one time. Seperate the 1-day meal into few portions and feed them every 4-5 hour once.

THanks! I've actually spoken to the vet personally and he says its normal because I made him run marathon before feeding him some treats then he vomit back all the treats. So next time is a no-no for me.

At the moment he still have issues peeing at the tray! Occasionally he pees there, occasionally he pees outside the tray, so hard oh how am I suppsoe to expand the playpen when he doesn't pee accurately lol.

thanks for the advise.. so far, is hard for me to see any stain on floor coz she keep licking it... =.= she seems very tired this few day and look moody too.. hope she is all fine after her period...

Hi! I'm a newbie, and I hope this post goes through, just testing.

Hi! I found this thread sometime ago and thought it useful to discuss with other owners of this beautiful breed. Meet my bebe! He's my pride and joy and I love him so much. He's on Addiction Salmon bleu for puppies, and he's supposed to be a tiny toy, but he's close to 3kg and 7months old now, and certified sound and healthy by the vet. When I first got him, he was so weak and couldn't even stand up for more than 10 secs. He was slighter longer than the size of my palm. I had to feed him soaked kibbles given by the breeder one by one, gloucose water and powdered milk. I even had to hold his head up to feed him. It was such a huge comittment at the beginning. Well, I chose him, and like when we have a human child, if the baby is weak, we don't send him to the nearest rumah anak yatim, do we. So, I had very little sleep and rest for the first month.

On his 3rd month he was already running, jumping and later only I realised he barks and whines ALOT! It was no longer separation anxiety and leaning towards behavioral problem then. He was so attached to me because I gave him non-stop attention at first due to him being weak. The next step was to discipline him. At 3 months, my bebe was already toilet-trained. Disciplining him took longer, close to 2 months. It started with letting him know what Hush, Quiet, Sit, Down, No bitting, Sleep, Cage mean.

I am happy to announce that by now at 7 months, he will walk to his playpan adjoined to his cage by himself when I tell him so. He stays quiet and plays with his pile of toys in his playpan whenever I work at home or clean the house. He goes to his 'toilet' by himself whenever he has to but when he sleeps in my room and the door is closed, he scratches the door to let me know he has to pee/poo. He loves it when I teach him new tricks and esp when I groom him. He LOVES being groomed and looking at his own reflection, sometimes he licks the mirror, sigh! Very vain dog! He loves wearing clothes and jumps up and down when I get accessories for him like scarf, bow, shirt etc. He likes almost everything, people, dogs, basically a perfect angel now and complains very little. There is one thing which he absolutely hates no matter what and I do not know why. He will bark non-stop and at an alarming sound whenever he sees a silky terrier. I've tried bringing him closer to different silkies and all the same response. He's even friendly to Rotts, giant Schnauzer and Chihuahua but never a silky.

Well, that's just my story on him. Thanks for reading!

To add on, you can have this to slow them down from eating too fast.

@Cinnamon Chan， looking at your baby's picture, I find that Dorian is really fat...

Sigh.

Welcome welcome... Your baby is cute... You are one owner who do a lot of research! Salute... Enjoy yourself here... I will be back into active mode starting mid sept... Now busy but still got time to check out this post without fail daily...

Don't worry not all female dogs will have blood stain some also cant even see if they're on heat unless we see the private is swollen cuz there's no stain on the floor at all. As for moddy and changes of some personalities it is also normal. Like us we also feel moody when our monthly friend came and visit right my girls has different attitude thou, Autumn tend to became more manja when she's on her period and she really want to have me for herself untill she sleep also must sleep on my lap. But my friend's dog will became soooooo moody until she don't want to play with her usual playmate for the time being but after the period end, she's back to usual

Thanks yeowa! It's very addictive isn't it? It just shows how much we love our dogs and if not on looking for poodle thread, it'd be googling about poodle health, medication, accessories, latest products etc. etc. I'm considering and reading alot about giving my bebe power balance collagen. Has anybody tried it? My friend's beautiful mini poodle is thriving on it. Beautiful skin & coat, supremely intelligent (well she's a show dog), healthy and is 7yrs old. It's a black poodle with full black pigment intact, most at her age would fade to grey. My doubt is perhaps not all dogs would respond similarly. Some may thrive, some may get weak

Debbieyss, is Dorian the photo that you have in your lower caption? He's super adorable and not fat at all. That photo of bebe previously, was taken just a few days after grooming. His body had a close clip. The photo above is taken last weekend at his favourite park, where he gets to run around like a cuckoo doggie, LOL! I intentionally let his hair grow long so I could snip off all of his puppy coat. His adult coat is nicer, curlier, darker and easier to take care off.

Since we are on this topic... does anyone here do your own anal gland expressing on your poodles? Just that smaller breeds need expressing when it looks "full" to avoid scooting, infection etc. I perform it on my own after having the vet shown it to me on how it's done and watching lots of video on youtube. I told my other friends about this and she says it's very gross and would ask the groomers to do it for them, haha! I just thought, I send bebe for grooming once in 2 months and sometimes his anus area looks full after a month of grooming, what happens then?

And once, I had a very bad experience at this petshop/grooming place. I asked one very young groomer if she could just do the anal expressing for me. She charged me RM10, and after that when I looked at bebe's anal area, it was VERY bruised!!! It looks like, pardon the description, like when someone gives a very bad 'love bite', and the scar stays red and scraped for the first few hours. Even his tail is bruised! She covered it up by saying, his anal gland is very infected and wanted me to buy some products with an unknown name to treat the area. I told her it doesn't look infected, it looks like someone scraped it with a knife! After that, I only send my precious bebe to groomers that I trust and are gentle to him.
