[Chihuahuas] Re: Update on 100 chis MO/PM closing
Hi Gloria! Yes, I was supposed to get Cesar. He was supposed to get on a transport but mill owners left him behind the day he was to be transported. Every weekend I have been ready to drive down there to get him as I am coming from Springfield, Il and he is in Missouri. Then the news came about the puppy dying in transport. I cried off and on all day as I had been looking forward to having him join our little pack. I wish I knew what to do in this situation. I don't want to bring harm to those at home and occasionally I bring homeless dogs in to vet them and find them homes. I also plan on having another dachshund puppy live with us someday.down the roadmaybe in a couple years. I fell in love with Cesar on sight. I am good with mill dogs and knew I could help him recover. I have one mill dachshund with us now and he will be with us until his time comes to pass. He is a wonderful little guy and has made huge progress, although it has been a very slow transformation. I can't help thinking of little Cesar stuck in the puppy mill. He should have been home a month ago :( Had he met transport he would have already been here and he would have been out of harms way. And I wouldn't have known about the parvo. Knowing this now, I feel (based on vets opinion) I would be irresponsible exposing my (now) 4 at home. Not to mention the fact parvo can stay in the earth for many years after it has been contaminated.

First, I want to say thank you sooo much for even considering to adopt one of these babies. The final decision is really up to you. I will tell you of my experience with two maltese mill puppies that I rescued many years ago. It was when parvo first came out, and the vaccine that they had for it was new on the market and they really didn't have much time to test the vaccine, since the outbreak was so widespread and hundreds of pups and dogs were dying across the states. At that time I wasn't aware of what a PM is really like and had started my first pet shop job. It was also the first time that this pet shop had ordered puppies. We received 12 different breeds. Within the first couple of days the pups started to look very sick and one by one would die overnight when the store had closed. The owners were waiting for a reply from the so called breeder as to what to do with the sick puppies. Parvo can be extremely quick in killing a pup, before you really see all the symptoms, while others can languish on for a couple of weeks. The store owners refused to take them to a vet unless they were guaranteed that the breeder would reimburse them and the breeder (PM) wouldn't reimburse the store for the dead puppies unless the store shipped them back at their own expense. So while they were arguing back and forth within the first two weeks out of the 12 dogs, 2 got sold and I had no idea what their out come was ,and 8 pups died and two were left, a bischon and a maltese. The maltese didn't act sick and would follow me around the store an even sleep under the front counter. So I was falling in love with him, and wanted to get him out of there. Another week went by and he started to show symptoms of being sick as did the bichon. I asked to buy him and after 3 days of waiting for them to make a decision, they finally said I could buy him. I had wanted to take him to a vet as soon as he started looking sick but the owners wouldn't hear of it. So once I paid for him, I took him directly to the Vet. They did give me a record of his shots and it seems that the PMs were so paranoid of Parvo that they were giving the dogs and pups Parvo shots every week, plus combining the live and killed virus vaccines. They were in fact actually giving these dogs Parvo with all of these injections!! That is what the Vet had told me and why they were dying. They didn't know too much at that time as to how to control Parvo and the shots were an experiment. No one knew, not even the Vets as to how much vaccine and how often a pup would need it, until all data had been accumulated and they could study it better. I named my puppy Fluffy, and the day that I took him home was also the last day that I worked for those people. He was very, very sick and just wasting away, just like the other pups did. The Vet said that there was no way that he would make it. To this day, I firmly believe that it was my constant around the

I pretty much answered that question. I’ve brought two more dogs into my home. Owners of both were told about the Parvo and said the dogs were up to date on vaccinations. My vet saved Becky when she had Parvo. Knowledgeable vets. Should know that vaccinations are about 90% or maybe more effective. Also my vet told me they have a 90% save rate if a dog has Parvo.

[Chihuahuas] Disciplining a baby
Hello everyone...as you know Miss Charlotte came home to live at the Crittershack on Wednesday night. She's doing great - It's been days now without an accident off the pee pads...sleeping good (and for 6 hours) in her crate (and she only cries a minute or two initially) - and her crate is 9 times out of 10 clean and dry the next morning. I LOVE the way she smells...I can't wait to get home and sniff that little puppy head. So...I have 2 other dogs - Liza doesn't know she's a dog and doesn't bother with other dogs. She's INCREDIBLY tolerant of Timmy my schnoodle and the cats (who love to lay over her for warmth). Timmy is High Energy ...he's go go go until he falls asleep but gets along with Liza and the cats perfectly ...but Charlotte has taken to being what appears to be 'mean' to him - growling and lunging with her little 2 pound bark. I give a 'no' command and pull her back away - poor Timmy looks at me and wonders 'what did I do to deserve that'? Sometimes she's relentless in pursuing him this way. He's only growled at her twice but he's never been challenged so I'm not sure how far he will allow her to push until he strikes back..I don't want her to get hurt - he's only 14# but that's big enough. Liza and Timmy are free roaming and need little disciplining anymore. I'm very proud of them. A few people at the vet's office have suggested correcting Charlotte with a little squirt of water from a spritzer type bottle ... I've never had to correct a dog or cat in this way - so I'm reaching out to all of your for help. I have no real place for 'time out' - I gate her in the kitchen when I walk the other 2 outside - so I don't want to use that as a 'punishment' place and of course I'd never use her crate. HELP...

RE: [Chihuahuas] Eye tears?
Both Dolly Desi have been having that lately. I asked the vet when I took Dolly for her last vaccine. He said to give her a quarter of a 25 mg Benadryl every 8 hours. It is staining her fur a little. Desi has the streams of fluid, but it really doesn't leave a stain on him because he is already so dark.but I see it dried on him right below the eye. You may want to try some of the Angel Eyes that is pretty much for white dogs that get the pink stain - but that is supposedly from a yeast or something. Let me know if you hear of anything that will help.

I have used the squirt bottle with Dolly Desi. I did it about three times and after that if they saw the spray bottle in my hand they would stop doing whatever they were doing wrong. It is harmless, and it does work. It sounds like Charlotte is vying with Timmy to be the Alpha Dog in the house. Little girls are very bossy!

Re: [Chihuahuas] Disciplining a baby
OK - so the spray bottle I will tryIf I had to guess on who's the alpha now - I wouldn't know what to say...it's so low key and normal in my house...maybe my 15 pound cat..? LOL... Charlotte has tried to approach her - but Faelyn gives her a nice decent meow and Char just sits down and stares at her like 'h how can I manage this one'? Just the thought of a 2 pounder being alpha makes me chuckle - altho I know it's not funny and needs to be corrected NOW... I started to use a spray bottle on a kitten I rescued a long time ago - and HE LIKED IT...he was a wonderful kitty - lived 17 years and was my 'soul' kitty - but he LOVED water...used to sit in the window when it was raining - and if I hadn't shut the window yet - would just sit there and get soaked...loved the shower too. The spray bottle was his buddy...so I started to use an small can of just 'air' - whoa...he didn't like that...and learned quickly. SILLY ANIMALS... THANK YOU JOAN...

Re: [Chihuahuas] Re: TEE/Renee--100 chis MO/PM closing
You didn't mention whether or not Cesar already had his shots for parvo, or whether he also became sick. If he is still okay by now then I doubt that he has parvo and can only assume that he was previously inoculated before the other puppy died. That would make him safe to adopt, as well as any others that have not gotten sick by now. Also you mentioned that it was a puppy that died and not an adult dog. The puppy probably was to young to have been given all the shots in time to save it. Have you inquired recently how Cesar is doing? The fact that you were able to drive down there to get him, means that you were also pre-approved to adopt him by the rescue? I missed seeing his picture, and if you saved it, could you please post it? If I remember the dates right, either today or tomorrow is the last day for any of them. I honestly feel that you don't have anything to worry about since your dogs are already immune to the virus. I would also call another Vet for an opinion. Neither of my malteses gave the virus back and forth to each other nor did they infect any other dog during their entire lives. If you do take Cesar, maybe wearing and old shirt that you can discard and disposable plastic gloves, and carry him straight into the bathtub for a good bath which I am sure he will need anyway, may help to alleviate any fears of him having the virus on his fur. Assuming that he is okay to begin with, you won t have to worry about him shedding it in his poop. Discard any collar or leash that he came with before bringing him inside and all should well. In the meantime, here is an article and a link on how the virus works. http://vetmedicine.about com/od/dogdiseasesconditions/f/Canine-Parvovirus-Cpv-Transmission-Can-My-Dogs Spread-Parvo-To-Another-Dog.htm Question: Parvo Transmission: Can my vaccinated dogs spread parvo to another dog? A viewer asks this question about Parvo in dogs I recently traveled with my two dogs that are vaccinated. I stayed with a friend who had a ten-month old dog that was not vaccinated. After we were there for two days, her dog got sick and died from Parvo. Could my dogs carry the virus from stopovers at roadside rest areas and given it to her dog? This was a very sad situation and I need to know if it was because of my visit. Answer: Parvovirus Incubation and Transmission This is a sad situation and there is no definite way to prove how the unvaccinated dog became ill with parvo, but since he became ill so quickly after the visiting dogs arrival, it is unlikely that they were the source. On average, the incubation period for canine parvovirus (CPV) is 3-7 days. If the non-vaccinated dog became sick and died within 2 days of the visitor s arrival, it would be unlikely that the visiting dogs brought in the virus. Parvovirus is a hardy virus and is considered to be ubiquitous, meaning that it is potentially everywhere. An unvaccinated dog is at high risk for parvo and other diseases from many possible sources. Vaccination for this disease is the best prevention. Adult vaccinated dogs are well-protected against parvo. Their immune systems mount a response against any parvovirus they may come in contact with, preventing clinical illness. Parvovirus in the Environment Dogs infected with parvovirus shed millions of viral particles with each diarrhea bowel movement and may shed virus for 2-3 weeks post-exposure. Canine parvovirus survives in the environment and on surfaces. Disinfecting the environment of parvo is difficult, and this virus may last a few weeks, months, or even up to 2 years, if the conditions are favorable. Sunlight and low humidity (arid) conditions will inactivate the virus quicker than cool, moist, shady conditions. Water, via rain showers or a hose, will dilute the amount of infective viral particles, but not inactivate the virus. In addition to virus-laden fecal matter and environmental contamination, parvovirus can be transmitted via surfaces - hands, tools, bowls, shoes, other pets, clothing, etc. A dilute bleach solution (1 part bleach to 30 parts water) should be used on cleanable surfaces, good sanitation and hand-washing for non-bleachable surfaces. (Never use bleach on pets!) It is impossible to know for sure, but it is likely that the unvaccinated dog was exposed/incubating the virus prior to the traveling dogs arrival. The fact that the visiting dogs are adults and vaccinated helped protect them from contracting the parvovirus during their stay.

I agree. Everytime you bring another animal into your household, whether from a pet shop, owner, or rescue, or even meet one, you are exposing your animals to unknown issues.

Yes, I was supposed to get Cesar. He was supposed to get on a transport but mill owners left him behind the day he was to be transported. Every weekend I have been ready to drive down there to get him as I am coming from Springfield, Il and he is in Missouri. Then the news came about the puppy dying in transport. I cried off and on all day as I had been looking forward to having him join our little pack. I wish I knew what to do in this situation. I don't want to bring harm to those at home and occasionally I bring homeless dogs in to vet them and find them homes. I also plan on having another dachshund puppy live with us someday.down the roadmaybe in a couple years. I fell in love with Cesar on sight. I am good with mill dogs and knew I could help him recover. I have one mill dachshund with us now and he will be with us until his time comes to pass. He is a wonderful little guy and has made huge progress, although it has been a very slow transformation. I can't help thinking of little Cesar stuck in the puppy mill. He should have been home a month ago :( Had he met transport he would have already been here and he would have been out of harms way. And I wouldn't have known about the parvo.

First, I want to say thank you sooo much for even considering to adopt one of these babies. The final decision is really up to you. I will tell you of my experience with two maltese mill puppies that I rescued many years ago. It was when parvo first came out, and the vaccine that they had for it was new on the market and they really didn't have much time to test the vaccine, since the outbreak was so widespread and hundreds of pups and dogs were dying across the states. At that time I wasn't aware of what a PM is really like and had started my first pet shop job. It was also the first time that this pet shop had ordered puppies. We received 12 different breeds. Within the first couple of days the pups started to look very sick and one by one would die overnight when the store had closed. The owners were waiting for a reply from the so called breeder as to what to do with the sick puppies. Parvo can be extremely quick in killing a pup, before you really see all the symptoms, while others can languish on for a couple of weeks. The store owners refused to take them to a vet unless they were guaranteed that the breeder would reimburse them and the breeder (PM) wouldn't reimburse the store for the dead puppies unless the store shipped them back at their own expense. So while they were arguing back and forth within the first two weeks out of the 12 dogs, 2 got sold and I had no idea what their out come was ,and 8 pups died and two were left, a bischon and a maltese. The maltese didn't act sick and would follow me around the store an even sleep under the front counter. So I was falling in love with him, and wanted to get him out of there. Another week went by and he started to show symptoms of being sick as did the bichon. I asked to buy him and after 3 days of waiting for them to make a decision, they finally said I could buy him. I had wanted to take him to a vet as soon as he started looking sick but the owners wouldn't hear of it. So once I paid for him, I took him directly to the Vet. They did give me a record of his shots and it seems that the PMs were

Desi has the streams of fluid, but it really doesn’t leave a stain on him because he is already so dark…but I see it dried on him right below the eye. You may want to try some of the Angel Eyes that is pretty much for white dogs that get the pink stain – but that is supposedly from a yeast or something. Let me know if you hear of anything that will help.

Re: [Chihuahuas] Eye tears?
From their web site:Suggestions on How to Administer Angels’ Eyes® Most of our customers have told us the easiest way to administer Angels’ Eyes is to add the recommended weight dosage directly into their pet’s food once daily. Some people use it as a treat and mix it with some baby food, cottage cheese, yogurt, peanut butter, etc. Another suggestion is to add water to the recommended dosage and use a syringe slowly directly into their mouth.http://angelseyesonline.com/details.htmNancy, Pepper, Rascal RockyFrom: Joan Croft joan_cr...@hotmail.comTo: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.comSent: Wednesday, November 16, 2011 7:39 PMSubject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Eye tears?

RE: [Chihuahuas] Re: Eye tears?
Dolly Desi get only distilled water. I really dont want to use the Angel Eyes other and from what I remember from reading about it a couple years ago, the tears of breeds such as Maltese, Shih Tzu, etc. have some sort of bacteria or yeast in their tears and that is why the tears stain that reddish color. This is the first year that I have seen Dollys eyes water and it is just a little bit, but I will try to get some of the Tear Stain by Only Natural. It is currently on backorder. How do you administer it to your pup? My dogs dont get canned food, only kibble. I have been adding canned pure pumpkin to Dollys daily treat by mixing with Pedialyte and a little canned food she eats all that very fast and the bowl is very clean. ¼ of a teaspoon is too much to put in a pill pocket. Let me know how you use it. Thank you!

RE: [Chihuahuas] George day 2 postop
One thing to watch for once the bandages come off. I learned this from experience: Desi sat and guarded Dolly all day long. If I took off her e-collar I would watch and she didn't go to lick or anything and then if she did, or if I had to go out of the room, I would put it back on. Well.one day I noticed that her incision was pinkish like it was splitting open. I took her to the vet who told me that I have to keep her collar on. I told her that I did and if she didn't have it on she was right by me and being watched. Then it came to me.Desi was doing his puppy duty and trying to heal her during the night.he removed a couple of stitches while I was sleeping! If they sleep in separate kennels, that is good, but if both have access to each other at night, you may want to put some of that gauzy looking tape around his knee at night.or something!

RE: [Chihuahuas] Eye tears?
Thank you. The syringe would have to be the last resort…because then she will fight it. But if I do the little bit of canned food with the pumpkin and the tears powder she would probably eat it all.

Re: [Chihuahuas] May I ask another question? (car seat)
It has a sturdy bottom. I always put a blanket or fleece throw in the bottom. There is a sturdy piece that goes from the booster seat to the car's seat. As I remember there are some metal pieces that provide the bottom support. I don't know if the smaller one has two leads.
