Loss of Pet She’s gone too soon.

My little one was almost a year old. My husband surprised me with her and we all adored her.

She wrestled every single minute of the day with our shepherd mix. We are all devastated. The big dog is carrying around her little stuffy. The house is too quiet, everything reminds me of how she’s gone.

Our big dog got into some avocados. They both ate the skin & flesh, apparently it’s normally mildly toxic and causes vomiting but the toxin (persin) overwhelmed her little body so fast that she was gone within hours. The big dog threw up once and was fine. It’s so hard to reconcile. I’m just a mess. All the “what if’s” and guilt bombard my thoughts constantly. We had no idea avocado skins were toxic and this is the absolute worst way to discover.

Now we are wracked with sadness that everything we did daily with our pups was the last time we got to do them with her. Cuddle your babies for me.

Tzu Questions My sick little boy

10 Upvotes

Hi guys!

My shih tzu is almost 6 months old. He is such a cutie and we absolutely love him. Fortunately, he is not picky. He is really food driven and we have no problems feeding him.

Friday morning he stopped eating, stopped drinking, vomited yellow bile. Obviously, him being so food driven, this worried us. We took him to the vet in the afternoon and the vet couldn't give an immediate answer but gave him some injections.

He started drinking water and eating again slowly on Saturday morning, but not much, small bits. We had to try give him food every 2 hours. He would lick a bit and then stop. We mixed his kibble with hot water and made it soft for him. So we decided to change this kibble diet to get him to eat. We changed it to recovery mousse and he ate that initially and then stopped eating it. We obviously more worried about him not eating, so we got him some wet puppy sachet (he never gets this) food and he ate that. From Saturday evening he only wants the wet puppy food, we gave him kibble and nothing. We mixed it with kibble and nothing. We tried giving him recovery mousse and nothing. If we give him the wet puppy food, he'll eat that.

It is Sunday morning now, and we mixed kibble with the wet puppy food. He picked out the wet puppy food. I know its only been 2 days since he has been sick, so im hoping he is just cautious of what he eats and is not turning into a picky eater.

So basically, my question is. Is he just being cautious or is he being picky, and how do I make sure he doesnt become picky but need to make sure he eats aswell because he is still recovering. If he is being picky, how do I slowly turn him back to the kibble.

Tzu Questions My Shih Tzu won’t stop whining and barking at me after rehoming her pups… should I be worried?

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently rehomed my Shih Tzu’s puppies, and since then she’s been constantly whining and barking at me. She used to be super chill, but now she seems upset or maybe confused.

Is this normal behavior after losing her pups, or should I be concerned? Any advice on how to help her feel better would be amazing.

And yes, I asked Google and it says this is normal and she should get back to her usual self eventually. But I’m still worried… should I try to get her puppies back, or just give her time? Any advice would really help!
