If someone asked if it was normal for a bitch (Westie) to be in season for 4 weeks, discharge has a strange smell too (apparently), teats are swollen and hard and dogs acting a little odd (keeps turning round and barking at her belly)?

Perhaps if I explain that these numpties brought said dog from what they called a breeder (I call a puppy farm).

When they brought the dog it was in a pen with 6 others, all supposed to be from the same litter
confused.gif
(correct me if I'm wrong but isn't 7 a rather large litter for a Westie?).

Neither alleged parent was in with the pups (they were in a neighbouring pen). They weren't allowed to touch the parent or see them out of their pen.

They weren't allowed in with the pups either..........they had to point at the one they liked, it was then picked up and they were told what sex it was, and once they decided they wanted it, it was handed over (the 1st and only contact they had with it).

Says it all really......................Not a [****] clue.

With a strange smelling discharge, how about a REAL pregnancy gone wrong?!

My response would be something like : Vets ASAP, yesterday preferably!

But CS why did you have to tell me about what happened at this so called breeder, I haven't repressed my memories from talking to the person which made me write my NO, NO's list yet.
I hold YOU responsible if my brain explodes in my sleep tonight.

But lucky for you I have the best remedy for healing an exploded brain at home, getting morningkisses by puppies.

Nah, no chance of that.................this poor little mite by all accounts hasn't been socialized at all and on the rare occasion it gets a walk it is kept on a lead as won't come back....................hardly surprising (its had no training) and in its position, I would run for the hills too!!!!
frown.gif


This dog was brought coz their lab got run over (whilst on a lead
crazy.gif
), and the grandson (teenager) has apparently always wanted a Westie.

It makes me so cross that absolutely anyone can buy a dog and so many people are happy to sell the dog to anyone
frown.gif


Just like the story I told not long ago about the small time drug dealer with two Staffies and a dalmation, the staffies killed my friends collie and the dalmation killed some lambs.

But, its not the dogs fault is it?, Staffies have the most awful reputation because of the stereotype that owns them. So why has someone like that managed to buy two staffies?

Anyway, going off on a tangent there!! - will get off my soapbox now!!

My response would be.............take the bitch to a vet and the owner to a therapist!!!
 
Run over whilst on lead! WHY do I think of one of those leashes where a string comes running out of/back in to a little box?
There's a stop mechanism built in to the boxes, but most (not all) owners that I've met with such leashes haven't been able to figure out how that "stopthing" works.

But why aren't you shivering from my threat?

...now phone the vet you thick *******
 
Grandson apparently told grandmother that he was waiting for his mum to come home (she's on holiday not back for another week)!!!!!!

I told her that if he didn't take the dog to the vets immediately (if not sooner) it would more than likely be dead in a weeks time!!!!

Poor little mite must be in soo much pain

(if I knew where he lived, I would be round there). I'll be waiting up the yard in the morning (stalker style), to check it has been taken. I just can't believe that she (grandmother) didn't frogmarch the grandson and dog straight down the vets when she saw it!!!..........................FFS how do you get to 65+ and still manage to know nothing.

Er - 7 weeks? Am I being really old-fashioned about it, but isn't it nine weeks before it should leave the mother?!

Don't be silly (puppy farm), were probably off the mum @ 5 weeks.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

As Finnish said in another post, we need a Fugly-type movement for dogs.
However as has happened here in NI, any puppy farm in the UK will get busted, perhaps pay a weeny fine, go underground for a bit and then resurface somewhere else a few months later under different name and management and new breeds.
 
Echo everything said about idiot owners and puppy farms. Hope the poor little Westie gets sorted out soon. I hate retractable leads. Apart from the cases I have heard about of dogs being run over whilst on them, it drives me mad when we got to shows, pt to pts etc and my dogs, walking to heel on a proper lead, get scooped up by idiot owners with their dogs on 10 ft of lead
mad.gif
 
all this time spent posting replies on here you could have driven the pup to the vets yourself, sounds like more than anything else thats what the poor thing needs!
 
Sorry pinktiger, it's only in the best of worlds it would be that easy.
In real life I've seen two policemen argue for 2 hours with a catowner, who's cat had been run over by a car, about driving cat + owner, in the policecar, to the nearest vet. Meanwhile the cat crawled in under a hedge and died. And the police left.
Not even they had the authority, in real life, to just put owner and cat in their car and drive away with them, if they had and the owner couldn't pay the vet, I'm sure their chiefconstable would want to know what they've spent policemoney on...

In real life you can't just grab someones dog, while still being on a lead, even to take it to the vet. And if you did, the vet would probably not want to do anything with the dog, without your promise to pay for any treatment. And the police would probably come knocking on your door...

I hope it's only frustration that made you type such an reply.

agree with FL.....u cannot force someone to seek treatment, nor can you take the animal of your own free will
crazy.gif
, who is going to sign for consent for the animal to be placed under anaesthetic and recieve treatment?....not PBS as she is not the legal owner....and if she did she would be liable for the humungus bill
crazy.gif
....the best she can do is offer advice and hope the thick **** witts take it.
crazy.gif
 
Not much of one I'm afraid. Collared the grandmother of the dogs’ owner at the yard this morning (she was the one who asked me what I thought the dogs symptoms could indicate). Asked if the dog had been taken to the vets, she wasn't sure but thought grandson was going to take it last night (I hope he did).
confused.gif
Impressed on her again that dog really does need to see a vet ASAP (also advised her I had spoken to a veterinary nurse friend, who advised the same). She told me she would check grandson has taken it.................but she now wondering if he was waiting for his mum to come home as can't afford it.
mad.gif
Told her that is a ridiculous reason not to seek/or to delay seeking medical assistance for the dog as if really can't afford it, then he shouldn't have a [****] dog. I feel truly sick to my stomach as have a horrible feeling the dog still hasn't gone to the vets, but there is very little I can do. I haven't even seen the dog and don't know where they live and only know the grandmother as her horse is kept at the same yard as mine. I will keep enquiring about the dog and hopefully shame the grandmother into taking action, but apart from that I really don’t know what I can do. If I had anyway of getting the owners name/address I would be reporting them for cruelty.
mad.gif
If it still hasn't been by Tuesday I will be offering to take the dog to the vets myself (with the best will in the world I can't do anything before then as am on 12hrs night shift, and there just aren't enough hours in the day).
frown.gif
 
Fingers crossed they have taken the advice...there is only so much you can do and maybe it will end up that you have shamed them.

Can't afford vets bills? Back to the cuddly toy. I bet the grandson can afford this, that and the other.

Do we know how the dog is now?
 
No closer to finding where it lives yet, but I have discovered that a few month back one of the women on the yard nextdoor agreed to rehome this dog (she was approached by the grandmother at the request of the owners mother), but seems once she agreed to take the dog (although she hadn't even met it, just seen a pic I think), the son was having none of it and said he didn't want the dog rehomed....................shame because it would have had a fab home there.

Hopefully will see grandmother again tomorrow and if all else fail offer to take it to the vets Tuesday (I'm stuck till then as on 12hrs night shifts).
