RE: Allergies?
Thanks All, she is great now. A pain killer for the leg, an allergy pill and 24 hours of rest and she is back to her old self. Now I just have to keep her from overdoing it. This breed will not stop until they drop!

RE: Grief
My little Willow only has 3 legs because of that. What makes them do that? They are such smart beings otherwise....

You may have to get a bit aggressive with her. She needs to know you are the alpha and when you tell her no, you mean it. It's not just the poop, she will defy you at every turn if you don't get a handle on her. The breed is headstrong and that makes them reckless sometimes which will get them hurt or killed. If she is eating other dogs poop you need to get her checked for worms.....

@abrunelle I mean that you may have to get in her face, make her look you in the eye and tell her NO which may require you to physically hold her down until she stops squirming. Don't forget to give her loves after so she understands that it is the behavior you don't like but still love her. She will grow to respect you. I've had my rescue for 3 months now and I can now leave her home, inside the house without supervision or crate and she is just fine. 3 months ago, she chewed all the remote controls, shoes, even the vacuum! Here she is at work with me now! And as someone mentioned earlier exercise is key, they tend to nut up if not let out to run and play.

RE: Allergies?
Thanks, I had an appointment with the vet but also reached out to prevent over-reacting. She was never dehydrated just worn out from playing too hard with one leg and eating food that was given to her without permission....oh and yes, she does have allergies

Allergies?
Hi there, my Willow has 3 legs and today she cannot stand on her one back leg. She has had diarrhea for 2 days and her eyes are discharging. Any ideas? Is it allergies?
