Doggy Mentor

Scuba Judy asked:


We are just finishing up with a puppy class for my 14 wk old boston. I would like to continue his socialization at a doggy daycare for maybe one day or a half day a week. How do I select the right establishment?

Our dog leah has left her beloved doggy bed and gone behind an arm chair which is in the corner of the room and flanked by to little tables. She walks into the corner by going under the tables. Shes fallen alseep there now.

I find this a little scary because i think i heard that dogs like to find a den when they are going to die!? She is old but i think she got in the trash and ate something very dissagreeable.

Anyway… why is she curling up in such a wierd place? Shes normally really attatched to her doggy bed and I dont understand why she isn’t taking comfort in it. Is she trying to tell us to leave her alone to get better?

She hasn’t eaten anything all day, shes only drunk a tiny bit. We tried giving her plain cooked rice with a little bit of gravy on it and she hate a tiny bit but then stopped.

Vets, vetrinary helpers… any answers for me?

Thankyou.
