Honestly, I don't know, but I think he was dreaming. Our frenchie does this and his legs move, he twitches, huffs and sometimes barks.

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope that he starts to respond to the antibiotic very soon. Vaccinations are one of those things that I go back and forth on. We have a Chi who is 13 and I am opting out on having his distemper and parvo shots because I figure he has enough built up immunity by now...

I know you have probably posted your formula/process more than you can count, but could you share how you do it and with what? Do you cook once a week/month? and freeze? Do they eat 2xday? How much? Thank you. I don't know if I have it in me to do that.

OMG, this little peanut is adorable! Congratulations on your new addition. In addition to the quality kibble that 2bullymama suggested, you may want to supplement half her kibble with a hamburger and rice mixture until her gastro tract settles down. I do the 90% hamburger and boil it to get...

Okay, so you've had him 8 or 9 days? How old is he? Many puppies come with giardia, which is an intestinal tract parasite. Did the vet test him for that? If not, I would just make sure that he doesn't have that or worms. Also, has the vet prescribed an antibiotic or other drug to calm his g.i...

Please see the post I just added today (5/6/24). Dr. Mathew Will, Country Village Pet Care Hospital in Akron NY (near Buffalo). He does laser surgery. I can't say enough about our experience and am forever grateful. My husband and I were a mess beforehand.

I highly recommend Dr. Mathew Will, DVM, Country Village Pet Care Hospital in Akron, NY (near Buffalo). He does laser surgery!!! and did Jellybear's nares, soft palette, and neuter at the same time. No stitches involved. We picked him up at 5PM same evening and he was perfectly fine. His...

I agree, however, I would caution people to make sure they understand the policy fully before purchasing. When we got our pup, I looked into pet insurance. Talked to a rep extensively from Nationwide, a reputable company. My primary concern was that nare and palate surgery would be covered. He...

Our first frenchie was very low energy (retired breeder) and a total snuggle bear. After she passed, we got a frenchie puppy in the spring of 2022. He is completely opposite - stubborn, willful, high energy, barely tolerates being held and kissed - but I love him to pieces! He is still the...

For those of you who make your own dog food, can you post or pm me your recipes? Thank you.

I am no expert by any means, however, I've seen something similar featured on Dr. Jeff - Rocky Mountain Vet, several times where it is a salivary gland blockage or salivary gland inflammation. The swelling is from accumulation of salivary fluid. That would be the first thing I'd ask about with...

Plus the other thing that makes me completely crazy is that my husband will allow him to lick, no problem. He feels like correcting a dog in any way is emotionally abusive.

We don't walk him at all. Never have. Do you have any idea why this would start after his neuter?
