Agree with @elbrant and I'd like to add, when you return be very matter of fact, do not make a big fuss, particularly if she is excited and effusive in her greeting to you. Sure, acknowledge her if you must but don't make any sort of big deal out of it. Go about your business, e.g. if you've been shopping, put your things away before spending any time with her. Your goal is to make your absence just part of a normal routine, nothing to be excited about. I've had two separation anxiety dogs, and you know you have won the battle when the dog just glances at you in an "oh, you're back" way and doesn't bother getting off the couch! Yes, people like it when their dog greets them and makes a big fuss, but if you feed that behaviour you give too much emphasis to your absence and that can grow into anxiety in your dog.
Help asap please

ivoss i just call the ofa and there going to email, his resaults and the explination of the resaults too!.that way i can take it in to the pet shop and see whats'going to happen about me getting my money back!!.
-
Pedro, if I were you, I would keep a journal of all the dates, times and who you spoke to re this breeder and the pet shop. Some places have a time limit for refunds. The fact you notified them asap is good, IMO, but you need to have some documenttation to support your claim if it takes a while.
Just my thoughts on this. -
hi there sharronhurlbut!, i'm already ahead of you!!. i have that private eye instinked from my mom!!. i have the names and time's and dates on my cordless phone i'd!!!.

You do not want the Ketone urine strips. You want the urine strips that test for glucose which are either Diastix or Clinistix.
When was your dog born and what is his registered name?

That's great for you… again, I am not sure why they changed the wording, but still means that according to his DNA he is at risk to develop Fanconi. I hope that it never happens, but at least you will be prepared

He will eat when he is hungry… they will not stave themselves.... put his food down, leave for 15/20 minutes tops and then pick it up... no food till the next regular meal time... tough love... eat or not.... his choice
-
k thks i'll try that!!.
-
hay there can you guys try and find out what kinds and how much it coast on a mothly basis for the fanconi med's i couldnt get on the yahoo site!. i have to go to the pet shop tomarrow afternoon. and i need to try and get this information so i can get them to pay for it!!. i'm still trying to find out what meds and prices a month for him!!.

The sodium bicarb, which is the most critical, runs about $12 - $15 per 1000 tablets. I used Doc Roy's Daily Care Extra Vitamins from Revival Animal Health as my kids didn't like the Pet Tab Plus. They were $21.95 for 180 tabs. For the Pet Cal, you can use Dicalcium Phosphate powder instead- a 5 lb container lasts forever… The Centrum Silver - just see what your local WalMart or Target sells it for. Probably the most expensive item is the Amino Fuel. Not sure what it's running now, you can check at GNC or other place that carries health foods.
Contact Cheryl Silver to see about joining the Yahoo group - I will send you her e-mail address in a private message.
