    Spencer had one of his anal glands impacted when he was just under a year old, and ever since, I keep an eye out for swelling, scooting, licking or tail biting. It's usually obvious when he's having issues. Except… I took him to the vet last week because I thought he might have an eye infection. I always have his anals expressed while I'm there and was shocked when the vet tech said he had an infection in one of them. I had seen no signs at all! So now he's on antibiotics for ten days, then back we go for a re-check. Glad to hear Oakley is doing well. He's a handsome boy!

    yes, that is wayyy to skinny. Get your full records from the current vet and get a second opinion immediately. Increase the protein and carbs in dog foos. May require swithcing the food he in on. Here is a good website to compare the content of food. Stay in level one or level two foods. http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=grain_free Here is a website to look at, view the content of diffrent foods. For good weightgain, I suggest switching to Natures Balance Sweet pot. and fish- my dogs were picky too, but they love this food. It smells like fish so much they gobble it up. Buy a small bag and test it out first. Feed as treats, then start integratig it into your food. Here is a good link for how to switch dog foods if you need it: http://www.ehow.com/how_2020381_switch-dogs-food.html When they are being extremely picky, poke a hole in a fish oil capsule and squeeze over the food. Its great for them, bones, joints, skin, ec…. and makes them eat it all! Also- supplement with "Nutrical" a puppy supplement with high protein for muscle growth. I still have to use it on my 5 year old because he just wont eat.

    when i brought lenny home from being neutered, the pain meds really did a number on him. he was limp as a noodle. it was actually pretty funny, he would be sitting up and then gradually his head would start to bob and his eyes would close, and then once his nose touched the ground, he'd spring back up again all alert and then gradually start to fade again… good luck to you trying to keep mia from jumping around... not easy with a B!
