Re: [maxine, joanch] after reading the threads...i still need help

Hi ...

Sounds like you have not had good experiences with vets ...

The important thing now is to get the cut/wound sorted out.

Currently she may be growling because her ear is hurthing her ... but after you get the cut/wound sorted out ... you will have to teach your dog to let you handle her and not allow her to growl at you.

It is hard to give recommendation as to how much to feed without actually seeing your dog.

The general rule of thumbs for feeding are:

(i) Once a dog reaches full maturity, one meal a day should be sufficient. But with the smaller breeds, some people prefer to give 2 small meals rather than one large meal ...

(ii) You can change from puppy food to adult food between 10 to 12 months.

(iii) You should feed a dog enough such that (a) the poop is firm (can pick up in one piece) ... soft poop may be indicative of over feeding & hard poop may be indication of under feeding ... (ii) A dog should not be so overweight that you cannot feel the ribs when running fingers gently down its sides.


Use the SEARCH function to find threads on how to check to make sure your dog is not fat/overweight ... try the words ... "fat" ... "over weight" etc.

Cheers
