Husky Health & Diet

ok so some of you may be aware, saskia has a tendon injury, and is on enforced rest. however, a local dog walker asked me where saskia was, i explained, and he asked me if i had tried devils claw, which is a natural anti-inflamitory, problem is i cant frind a doesage for dogs. anyone have any idea?. i will ring the vets to find out, just wondered if anyone else had heard about it.

Found this site whilst looking for bikejoring kit, haven't found an antenna yet but less then half way through the site. www.sleddogcentral.com OK I know its an American site but should help alot of people wanting to get into running their sibes.

My Sibe Storm, is now just over 4months and has been on James wellbeloved since birth but has always had a dodgy tummy on it, so we've just changed him to Burns and he's now got nice tough ones, which is great but he always seems hungry, when before sometimes he would leave food in the bowl now it doesnt touch the sides! is there a reccomended amount for a husky? we feed him twice a day but he runs every day with me and sometimes can see his rib cage, as there's no comparisons around here im just going on what the food bag states onto how much to give him. Any other Huskys around cornwall for running? cheers all:cool::cool::2gunsfiring_v1:

Hi all As some of you know i got a new puppy yesterday she look healthy and came from a registered breeder. But my concern is .. she has a bit of a bloated tummy its not really big but it feels tightish . she runs about ok and eats ok . she is fully wormed. is this just something that young pups have or have i got husky x pot belly pig i guess a health check at the vets wont go amiss Mark , Laska , Storm ( the packs getting bigger )

I've recently noticed my 4 months old husky's behavior is unlike the other husky; he's always tired i guess and lying down, when walking him he stops in the middle and refuses to continue walking, he runs away when I try to approach or anyone else, when I try to play with him he runs to a corner and sits there without moving, when the other husky plays with him again he sits there without moving as if he's scared. Is this behavior normal? he is always sitting down laying his head on his hands and watching what we do he only moves and runs towards me when its time to feed him .

Hi all, was at the lake this weekend and left Sakora at home(there was 6 female dogs there and she hates other girls) Any hoo came home last night and was playing around with her and she was giving me what for for being gone a whole day!!! And I noticed a big red patch of skin that looked quite Raw, I phoned the lady who was looking after her and she said she never noticed anything out of the ordinary with her(NO itching, scratching, stuff like that, but was watching her today and shes really biting at her back, just above the tail, so I will take her too the vet tomorrow, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with there husky?, It seems too have deve…

Our siberian is just over 12 months old, when do they start to come on heat? How many litters is healthy? Some feedback on breeding would be appreciated.

Dont think they got the hang of this...............

I've just noticed Gus has devolped 2 bald spots one on his forehead and one on his right front leg, i've been to the vets to get him tested for ringworm but im waiting for the results, has anybody got any idea's?

Does anybody else feed their dogs tinned mackerel fillets in tomato sauce? We give them to Sabre occasionally and he absolutely loves them, it's just I'ved noticed that half a tin contains 0.6g of salt which is 10% of an adults GDA and we give Sabre the whole tin. He doesn't get it regularly but this does seem quite a lot of salt!

Hi all The other day Koda our male had some lumps on his nose buy the end of the night it was one large lump on his snout. The next morning i cam down and thought i owned an english bull terrier as his face was really big. I took him the vet and he said he must of had a fight with a bee and lost, so he gave hime an injection and by the end of the day it was fine. (that was last Wednesday) Last night Zikkas (the bitch) face swelled up nad she has also had the runs and she has been trying to vomit the last 3 nights but nothing comes out (only at nights does she do this). When i checked this morning there was what looked like bolod vessels with in her r…

weve had haltis for the boys for a while, but since ive been using the walking belt i havent used them , have decided to try and get some loose lead training done, so back to the haltis, only dief snaped his today so we went to the pet shop and brought a canny collar, so then walked dief with canny collar and taz with halti , have to say , cant really see much difference in the effect, both seem to work equally well, does anybody else here use either halti or canny collar, n if so what are your thoughts ?????

Hey Guys, i've had shadow 2 weeks and i know he is a pup and we haven't had him long but i have some concerns, bothing too major. 1. toilet trainning, take him out he doesn't go. go inside he pee's?! what, now im not having a rant im finding it funny and frustrating at the same time. 2. biting, now he's not biting me. its my girlfriend, he starts biting her and doesnt stop until i step in. any help ideas? please be kind, no haters either.

Hey All! Finn is doing quite well with potty training issues (FINALLY), but if I'm home and I forget to close the bedroom door she will pee in there totally unannounced. She just sneaks off and then comes back with no notice. Even when I remember to close the door, she doesn't go to it and scratch any more. She doesn't give any warning. I take her out every hour and she's fine, but at four months old I don't know that I should need to do this, and really, she only pees every few times that we go out, but not at any sort of regular interval relating to when she drinks or anything like that. So, I'm wondering if anyone has…

Today I took Kira to the vets for her yearly jags and I thought she had a really bad eye infection ,when we get up in the morning her eyes are really gunky and green and need to be cleaned however the vet said it was pollen that causes it and is very common at this time of year, I asked for eye drops and he gave me steroid and antiinflamatory ,anyone else came across this ?

Had to take Sabre to the vets today because he had a fit!! My husband was in bed cos he works nights and was woken up by an almight raket which turned out to be Sabre having a fit in my sons bedroom next door to ours. He said he was shaking like mad and foaming at the mouth and lost all control of his bodily functions. He said that when he came round he just didn't know where he was an didn't recognise my husband at all then something just clicked and he was back to normal again. My husband called for me at work and we took him straight to the vets where the vet said it sounded just like an epileptic fit! I can't believe it as he is so fit and well. The vet also sai…

hi all, just a quick question, taz who has been house trained for a whils has started peeing in the house again , he will pee on top of where tori has peed, b4 she has even finished , and he has also started peeing up door frames etc, i clean up straight away and then use white vinegar and bicard, but he pees in places where there cant be any previous smells ie he peed up the curtain last night , tori cant even reach there , any ideas as to why hes doing it and how to stop him would be good , at the min we watch him like a hawk and the min he starts to pee or looks like hes going to pee hes put outside , thanx

Hiya, Eika came into season over the weekend (i don't know how you guys cope who have got intact females...i can't stand the blood!) Is this too early? I think it's fine as i thought it was between 6 months and a year (she is 6 1/2 months) but everyone who i have said it to is like, oo that's a bit early! She is moping around...and being annoying lol!

Last night a dog trainer friend of ours gave us samples of Connolly's Red Mills food for Bo and our cat. He explained that the food is more popular in the UK. Have any of you tried it and if so, what did you think of it? Just curious....

:mad: WHY DID SHE NOT WAIT 2 MORE BL00DY WEEKS TO COME IN TO SEASON?!?!?!??!??? AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Now we have to wait until the 23rd August to START novice classes again...and pay for the extra classes, because they can't go to class whilst they're in season....we had two, TWO weeks left...RARGH!:2gunsfiring_v1:

have just been out and brought some poles n hoops n stuff, cause the dogs need more stimulation(means im bored lol) , got back and set it up in the garden to see what the dogs thought of it , well it was amusing to say the least , tori is a star, through the hoop , over the jumps no problems , dief n taz , well i nearly wet myself laughing , dief crawled under the hoop , i wouldnt mind but it was so close to the floor he only just squeezed under it , and he only just managed to jump the jump i set for tori , he could have stepped over it , and taz , OMG, you would think i was trying to make him jump through a ring of fire, he was having none of it , he watched tori jump ,…
