Yea, Brownie is our beloved dog and we hope she grows healthy. Please do teach us or feedback us what is happened and what should we do then?
Thanks a million.[SIZE=7][SIZE=7][FONT=Arial]

Have you been deworming Brownie then?

When the dog is not being deworming routine, he / she may grow thin.

Furthermore, are there any changes of her diet / environment or her behavior?

Hi there, we dewormed for her heart every month, but the stomach had been done for once when she was in the breeder's hand. Her diet is reducing, and can't finish the food always.

Do you think we should deworm her stomach? or there's any other matter that causes her like this?

i think it's best that u directly go to a vet and ask why...

Heartgard only deworms 3 type of worms for intestines and heartworm.

I would suggest you try to deworm her with pills according to her weight of 1 pill = 10kg.

Normally when you bring her for vaccination, the vet should have done deworming for her too.

Does she has any attractions of snack or other food instead of dog food?

hey guys... picked up my Golden Retriever puppy this morning..

And it has been shitting more than 3 times in just less than 4 hours....

I just fed him once on 12pm only... and it pee more than 7 times in 4 hours too..

Is this normal ah?? -.- The poo is soft yet firm in shape..

I fed him with blackwood mix with milk for pet together...

Wonder if i am doing it the right way

It's so naughty and doesn't want to listen to my command and pee everywhere of my office... and it loves to bites


my GR is only 2 month 01 days only.

hahah...this is the most headache part u will ever face...
usually, from my experience, a pup will be naughty up to 2 years, if they aren't sent to be trained...like mine...lol...

and oh yea, they loves to bite...anything that could possibly fits their mouth...because their teeth is growing, so it's kinda like an itch in their mouth...shoes are their favorite for chewing, and i don't really suggest ppl to get those bone(yellow coloured, mostly made of cow-skin) for them to chew, know why?

cause if they get use to chewing with the smell of cow skin, and u do have leather shoes, don't you? they will indirectly think that, your leather shoes is a chewing toy for em due to the smell...

do love him ya! =)
when they are small, they are superb playful, they tend to be in stable/mature age probably after 2 years, mine are 4 years old this year by august, and she's a calm one now, unless there is people visiting, then she would turn, into a "mad-cow"... lol

those poo poo and pee pee are normal....sometimes u kinda see it's like they know how to decorate your floor, the poo could be a straight line...lol...happens to me!

where can i send him to be trained? Headache yo... Any owner here manage to teach there GR? Please share tips and trick.. ^^

if u wish to teach him yourself....without proper lesson from a trainer, u will need a lot of determination to repeat the process....

i taught mine, paw, high-five, sit, down, come, out(like get outta the house, lol), no, kiss kiss, mumm mumm(to tell her when to eat her treaties)...lol i know the command seems funny..lol...
used to have another dog, where i tell her "tau tau(container)" then she would take her food container for me to put food in it for her to eat..lol

is like when u wanna train him to sit, u gentle push his butt down, make him in a sitting position then tell him sit...and each time u tell him sit, give him a small treaties, snack that he likes...then repeat until he get the meaning of when u says sit that means he's gotta sit down...but at the beginning stage, do have dog snack to give him or else, he will keep in mind that no snack, no need to listen...do the snack trick for some time...then like mine now....without snack, she listen....but of course with snack, she is even more obedient..lol....

Added on April 21, 2010, 10:21 pmthe best i suggest u to take your dog to K9 dog class where they learn more trick....up to a stage where your dog only will listen to u...to the extend of they won't even eat food given by other people...only if u have time for that, not for me...don't have that much time...lol...oh yea, one more fact, as i know, i think when they are older than like 2 years or 3 years old, they can hardly be taught anymore...
but not as young as 2 months...maybe like 6months old, you could give him a try and see...and u should train him pee and poo at the correct place, that's a hard one to train, for mine....lol....

Added on April 21, 2010, 10:30 pmone more thing, you better teach him not to simply bite anything....but this is like a the hardest thing to do....cause you know, they are growing teeth, so, the itch in their mouth..you know what i mean eh?
but if u don't control him over this, when he grows up, he will bites anything that he wanted to...
as for me, what i did was, grab her mouth, upper and lower part, squeeze them a little when they tend to disobey you on wanted to bite onto something..but don't squeeze too hard...or else you are gonna hurt his, gums...squeeze till u heard him whistling(which mean like a cry for a dog), then let go, then tell him "no", while you pointing at him...the "pointing" at him is important that u do it each time he did something wrong...if he tend to bite again, repeat...and slowly he will gets it...

then here where the "pointing" works....as for mine now, each time she did something wrong, whenever i pointed at her, she will roll back her ears and she knows she did something wrong..lol...but don't scold your lovely dog like the world is ending, they need to be love and pamper....the more u love em, they will sense it and the closer are your dog to you!

Hi Junnie, for the pill is it pink in color? My vet only did vaccination for 10 diseases. Bsides the heartgard that i gave 1 pc every month, no other deworming has been done on her since we got her from the breeder.

Yes, she is more interested with canned food rather than kibbles. But I cant feed her too much on canned food right? So I just fed her once a week mix with kibbles.

Thank for the advice..

Well, all i need now is Patience...

Try getting pill from pet shop for deworming. 1 pill is for 10kg.

There are few types of deworming pills in the market, hence they comes in different color. If possible, try source for Drontal.

Deworming her will ensure that she will have a healthy growth.

Then canned food would be one of the cause that causes her to be picky; loss of appetite.

What you can do is, scoop one teaspoon and mix it with her kibbles thoroughly, feed to her and see if she takes it.

If she does, do that for every meal and then slowly reduce that one teaspoon to half and then to quarter, and next, only kibbles.

As she normally does not finish up her kibbles is because she is waiting for her one day of canned food with kibbles. Hence she rather eat less for the 6 days and eat more on the 7th day whereby she can have her canned food with kibbles.

IC, then I'll try on the pills 1st. If still not work, then will try to give her the canned food.

oh yea..i got one more way to prevent your doggie to bite things that u really don't want him to bite...lol...use oilmen(minyak angin) on that particular thing that you don't want him to bite...
apply a small amount i enough....dog hate that minty smell..lol...especially your car.....if both side of your wheels has hard rubber attach to the fiber, apply there...he won't bite your tires of course,
but the hard rubber part is where dogs always bite...my toyota vios, all 4 side were almost bitten off..lol...until i discovered the oilmen, it's too late to save it.....so, when u saw cars with that part having bite marks, you can be sure they've got dogs in their house.. lol

Haha, that's what my Brownie has done on my new car as well. Lol...

hahaha....use the oilmen!

OMG!! Yunnie, my Brownie is way too intelligent =.= I've mixed the canned food with the kibbles as well as the deworming pills and gave her just now. U know what, she just lick all the canned food on top of the kibbles, some she eaten and split it out after licking all meat =.= I really got no idea of how to feed already. Let's see whether she will be having appetite on kibbles or not after taking the pills...

Hi Kent,

You should mix the canned food with the kibbles and put it on top of the kibbles.

Once you mix it with kibbles, she has no choice but to eat the kibbles along.

If she doesnt take the pill, smash it and put it in the kibbles mix canned food then.
