Caleb, one of our sheepdogs, hasn’t eaten for 2 days (and he loves his food so very unusual). He’s a very lean, muscular dog but has dropped an alarming amount of weight in two days. Very worried about him ?. The vet can feel a lump so he is currently in the vet on a drip and they are going to scan him and probably open him up. Please keep everything crossed it’s nothing terminal. He’s such a sweet dog.
He came to us as a young “part trained” dog but he was terrified of everything and some of his behaviour made us think he’d probably had harsh treatment and training before coming to us ?. He also had a dreadful grip and would go in and damage sheep if he bit them. My hubby was really concerned he might be no good as a sheepdog, despite having plenty of natural talent. He worked hard to gain his trust and eventually they became a good partnership and he’s now one of our main working dogs. He’s 8 years old now.
