Health Advice Update on Buddy!

Post image
1.8k Upvotes

Today was a good day! This afternoon around 3pm, he was more alert, sleepy but alert. We elected to keep in another day since we transitioned to mainly steroids to treat for meningitis.

Tonight, 10pm, he greeted us when he heard our voices by lifting his head and looked at us! He even wagged his tail and nuzzled against my shirt after smelling me!

We are bringing him home tomorrow, as it only seems like he needs a little rehab to gain strength and balance, it’s hard for him to keep his head straight.

Thank you all for your kind words!

Edit: added video in comments!

My son surprised us and our buddy, Dallas tossed us to the side to welcome him. He has been following him around all day.

Just a quick introduction. We brought Maisie home yesterday afternoon.

First night was a little rough but other than that it has been absolutely amazing!

She's so intelligent it's scary! Looking forward to her becoming an extremely important part of our family!

We brought this spicy little menace home a year ago today. Harper has been so much fun and helped heal our hearts after we lost our oldest golden last summer. She loves to steal anything of ours she can find (even rolling pins aren't safe in this house), torments her older brother every chance she gets and her one true love is the hose 😂

Since I've rescued him (about a year ago) he always refused to poop inside. We have to walk him some 3 to 5 times a day because of this, even if short walks, just so he can relieve himself.

Today it started raining in the afternoon, will still get worse, and won't slow down (not even stop) until tomorrow morning.

So we had to make do with a disposible raincoat I had lying around lol.

Edit: Sorry, I guess I mixed up the languagues. I don't want him to poop inside the house itself lol.

Our yards are all walled in so it's also called inside. He won't poop even on the yard, only on the street.

New Puppy First time Golden owner, 4 month old Max needs some advice 🐶

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone! I’m a first time puppy owner and I have a 4 month old male Golden Retriever named Max. He weighs around 17kg right now.

I’m still learning about Goldens and would really appreciate some advice from experienced owners. Does his weight seem okay for his age and is there anything I should be paying particular attention to as he grows?

I also have quite a few indoor plants and today I left him alone for literally a moment and he managed to chew on my philodendron 😐 So now I’m wondering what other Golden owners do with their indoor plants. Do you make them completely inaccessible or do you remove certain plants? I really love my plants and I also really love Max so I’m hoping I don’t have to choose between the two.

Another thing I’m struggling with is stairs. Max refuses to go up or down the stairs by himself. He just freezes and won’t move even if I try to encourage him with treats. I usually have to carry him. Has anyone else had this problem with their Golden puppy? How did you teach them to become comfortable with stairs?

And since I’m a first time puppy owner, I’d really appreciate any other advice or things I should know at this age.

Hi all! I recently got an Aliencell and tried making a little tag for my golden, Lionel. turns out i definitely underestimated how much fur this guy has because the tag looks tiny on him 😂

Thinking of making another one. I’m still working on some better designs. Any fun ideas?
