Oldies (Over 9s) / Loosing weight
« Last post by Doogers on Today at 11:27:07 AM »
Hi all,

After some advice please, my 13yr old girl is gradually loosing weight, has anyone got any tips to fatten the girl up? She has never been a big girl.

She has always been a grazer, even from pup so putting more kibble down deffo wont work.

I dont think she has any underlying issue and vet not overly worried, just getting old like us all I guess :D

When my two were puppies, I slept downstairs with them for several nights, the crate being within touching distance to the sofa. I felt it was reassurance for them.  If they woke up in the night, I would just let them sniff my hand and this comforted them.  Its a big change for them having been surrounded by siblings to being entirely on their own.

Not much help for you. Our breeder had took the time to  start crate training so we don't have issues at night. But miss Molly hates the play pen

Welcome back in to fold. We lost our beloved Gemma last year aged 12 to cancer.  We now have Miss Molly who has been with us since January.  Looking forward to comparing notes :shades:

That sounds like a success. Glad it all went well.

Our crate was big enough we could fit one of those donut beds for our Lola to snuggle into.
Although she wasn't fully toilet trained, she'd never wee in it, and would go on a washable pad, instead.

I hope it gets better soon!
It is a big transition for everyone  :luv:

Hi everybody again.  Just posted on the Hello section re Murphy aged 9 weeks.

Looking for advice re crate training as the last 2 nights of having him have been awful.  He needs to sleep in his crate downstairs as hubby has asthma so no dogs in bedrooms .  We’ve been treating him in the crate and door open at all times plus today fed him in there too.  He will go in during the day occasionally but prefers to constantly sleep on one of our feet.  As soon as we leave him at night with playpen area and crate open he won’t go into the crate at all and just jumps up on the playpen crying and howling continuously.  Last night we got 2 hours sleep.  Any advice gratefully appreciated.

Returning to the forum after a few years.  We lost our cocker Pebbles last July and only now felt ready for another.  Unfortunately Pebbles went deaf at aged 9 and then blind at age 10.  It was a hugely upsetting time although she coped amazingly .

This time around we have researched extensively on the breeder and health tests and brought home Murphy on Monday.  He is 9 weeks old.
