    Default Sad News...

    We lost our puppy a few days ago. He did not eat very much. Thought we got it all figured out, when he started eating venison, but that was short lived. Sparky went to the vets and where we thought it was worms, there was another problem. I was told the intestines folded on themselves. As he grew, so did the problem.

    So if your dog stops eating or appears to be fussy with food, after a few days please take them to a vet. By the time we got Sparky there, it was too late to do anything for him.

    The Good news is when I contacted the breeder he replaced Sparky with another male from the same litter. "Browning" has begun to fit into the family well, and even has learned to retrieve, and that cats are for chasing
    His favorite game is to "hunt" them down and ambush them. At 15 weeks, he is 35 pounds.

    Oh no. I'm so sorry . Lots of heartache goes along with pets. In the midst of dealing with my setter's situation to day, my cat 's liver failed and I had to put him down ( 14 year- old rescue)... $900.00 day all told.

    I'm very sorry about your pup .

    Sorry to hear BW...sad to lose a pup.

    Your right, good advice...if your dog is off his food...something is wrong and needs attention. It's one of the few ways they have of telling you they are in pain.

    Very sorry for the loss of your puppy. Any idea what would cause the intestines to fold ? I had never heard of that one ?

    BW sorry for your loss. Being a dog person I understand how heart wrenching it is. We nearly lost our dog some weeks ago. The whole family was in tears.
    Good luck with the new pup.

    Babies can get what is called " intusseption" ( google), which is also called telescoping intestine. I'm wondering if this is similar? Not hereditary .
