Hi guys,
Just adopted a lab anyone have any experience with dog that have skin allergy or itchiness?? my lab been biting on her skin and cost the skin to bleed and the fur is dropping very rapidly... been to vet but doesn't seem to help much... might be i mistaken on doing something wrong that cost my lab to have continues skin itchiness..

What you give your furry kids to eat?
I was adopt my furry kids few month ago, my very first experience as furry kids's mommy.
Initially I feed him eat chicken & fish randomly, then I notice it after my furry kid eat chicken he skin will very itchy and make him to bite himself.
now I didn't feed him chicken anymore. So far his skin issue is fine dy.
Mayb you can try to monitor what's he eat and try to avoid those will make him not feeling well.
At the first two month i adopt my kid, i feed him dry food, his skin problem still serious & fur dropping too.
now i feed him those food cook by myself without salt and etc. only oil...
his skin become better & less fur dropping le...
mayb you can try cook food for your kid..

Thanks, but that sound very hard feeding lamb and rice now but still scratching and biting herself, guess i have to start feeding her something else.. what i can see is the product have some salt content.. that might be the problem.

Hi all. Planning to get a Labrador soon. Still studying up on care, training & proper food etc.
Thought of buying from pet shops like Midvalley Pets Wonderland or Ikano's Pet Safari. Haven't really surveyed whether they they currently have Labs or not.
But I saw some topics in lowyat Pet Store as well, so considering breeders too. Anyone have any recommendations for reputable breeders, preferably around the general Damansara Heights/Bangsar/Mont Kiara area or anywhere else nearby? Much appreciated.

Happy New Year to all fellow GR daddies & mummies.

naoki666: Sounds like your girl girl is allergic to chicken. Get her to a vet fast.

Arizone80: Your puppy is frightened. Imagine being taken away from your mum and siblings, put into an entirely new surrounding. Am sure you'd be making alot fo noise too ya. Then because you complained, you are now relegated to the car porch. That being said, doggies are tougher than you think. Treat him well when you see him in the morning and he'll have forgotten about the night before. They adapt pretty quick too. I wouldn't worry too much about mosquitoes but do get him a dog house if possible. It's always better to sleep 'inside' than out.

some photos for my fast growing Man

How old is he?

6 months reaching 7 months on 19th of Jan. How's your casper?

Casper's age...He turns 7 months coming 15th of Jan...

Well sadly Casper has injured his hips during one of his run ins and now is limping slowly.

Consulted 2 Vets and both have confirmed that he may have injured his hip joints and will need to go through an X-Ray to determine the extent of the damage and then decide whether he needs surgery or it could be solved with medications

awh, im sorry to hear that then how is he now? can eat well? active playing around or emo?

He's alright....He eats and is active as always...just that he limps gently when he is walking...

Try Salmon..it works for my GR.

Will keep that in my mind. currently using the Eukanuba vet version food, doing very good and the skin don't have hot spot anymore already bought 12kg won't be finishing soon.. hahaha

Hi Everyone, i am fans too, is very fun that so many people are Golden Retriever FANS!!

Lets introduce my kids "Mango"

Is going to 7 months tomorrow =D

Very sad, my boy is infected my fleas and even his system got worms.
Now is bony 16.8kg only..

My Ah Fook is in bad shape. Sigh...

1st
His ear got swollen. It's as if a small balloon was inserted into his ear flap and got blown. Haih... took him to the vet. Vet says it's very common. The cause is actually ruptured blood vessels in his ear flap. Maybe caused by excessive scratching, excessive shaking of the head or bitten by other dogs. Vet said have to be operated to relieve the pressure building inside.

Cost: RM450 inclusive of boarding 2 nite + medicine

Moral of the story: Keep your dog's ears clean and infection free.

2nd
The operation was a success with the swelling subsiding and the wound healing(closing). A bit too good as a matter of fact. The operated slit was to allow any excess fluid to drain while the vessel heal. But it closed up too soon and too well, so the ear flap began ballooning up again. So it's back to the vet to be operated again. This is 2 weeks after the 1st operation.

Cost: RM300 inclusive of 1 nite boarding + medicine

Moral of the story: Ask the vet to explain the operation in detail and the rate of recovery else you make your dog suffer again like poor Ah Fook.

3rd
The second operation was also good. Now the ear is ok liao. But now comes another problem. Ah Fook is not castrated/spayed so he has his wet dreams once in a while. So you know la, after those happy thoughts about b****es, there'll be some stains/leftover evidence on his penis. Dogs being dogs will lick their own dicks. Which is fine except the fact that flies apparently also love the dog's love juice. And flies being flies will lay eggs on any source of food they deem fit, which in this case was Ah Fook's penis foreskin. Long story short...fly eggs turned into maggots which burrowed into the foreskin making holes. Got Ah Fook to the vet to be cleaned and maggots removed. Now he's back with a swollen penis. The poor guy is not his usual self nowadays. His appetite isn't good but his mood is worse. I clean his little brudder everyday with a cloth and antiseptic solution bath. The dried urine I wipe off makes the white liquid in the pail become yellowish. He's on his meds and has the clownish e-collar on. I hope he recovers soon.

Cost: RM300 inclusive of some extra meds.

Moral of the story: Always check your dogs from head to tail. I check on him every other 2 days and a thorough check during bath time once a week and still the flies caused problems.

hello....this is the 1st time i post up my doggie picture...

he is already 5 years old but he looks small in size compare to other retriever. I don't know why but i guess is because our house don't have much space for him to grow maybe?

anyway, his name is Lucky and recently he has this disease called minge. The vet said this type of disease can be controlled only every 3 to 6 months. Well let's see how...hehehe

sorry the picture quite blur.

Just paid RM500++ (installments) for my lab's vet. 200++ for swollen bruder+ spaying.. and 200++ for lodging (3 weeks), 100+ for take away meds

Now is a good time to let ppl adopt him. After neutered,he's quieter, don't pee everywhere.

He is a handsome dude in the care of a good home. Nice 1.
