lampinglurcher 36 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 my pup is in the 20th day of her 1st season and has for the last few days decided that she didnt want to eat. i tried her on a different food and this worked for a while, but she will never eat all her usual amount. she is a retriever, so this is something special! i dont know whether or not it is related to it, but she has ripped out a patch of fur on her tail, near the base and has rubbed it raw. i have been cleaning it with salted water and tried some germaline, but as far as i can tell, it hasnt improved. any ideas? i wormed and de-flead her the other day. any help would be much appreciated, as i dont want to waste any vets valuble time. cheers, matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
