best of luck, your little fella is lucky to have you looking out for him. They're such a worry sometimes.
If they do it might be best to go to a specialists with anaesthetists (probably most have them), your vets may look for this as well if they were worried about the anaesthetic?
Ok, we got our puppy and we’re in love with him but please can someone tell me if it’s normal or not to be anxious about EVERY TINY LITTLE THING that might be wrong with him or is that just me……
My dog is the same, just not fussed by food at all! He has to have grain free though. I have recently discover freeze dried, and he does seem a bit more enthused for it than regular kibble. It is fed by number of pieces - the one we have each nugget is about the size of 4 stacked up pennies and he has 14, twice daily. He is 10kg for that quantity. Honestly it is the first time in his life that he has ever been even slightly excited for food!

I'm decided I'm going to be strict lifting his food up after 15minutes for a bit see if it helps but if not maybe I'll try this thanks! The raw food also takes up too much room in the freezerMy dog is the same, just not fussed by food at all! He has to have grain free though.

Maybe that's why he's so keen, because I'm not giving enough?
His weight is perfect though, and we've been using it for a few months now. I guess I might need to increase it a bit now the weather's cooling and we can do longer walks again. He's been sat by his bowl waiting this morning, which is literally unheard of!
My dog is super fussy but still ate the stuff to firm up his faeces in chicken (he had VBS clay so might not be the same thing but sounds similar).
No he's on a very good brand of food he loves now but it took a lot of trying different foods to get him on a good decent brand he will eat but dad gives him so much of his food he hardly eats his own food. Hence now runny poo and the gland issue. I actually booked the appointment before it burst as I coud tell he was acting strange and he was snappy. Thank god I did but it burst before the appintment sadly and it's quite bad, he must have dug at himself all night as all up his tail is bloody too. I just managed to give it all a proper good wash with Hibbiscrub which my previous vet always advised to use as it's antibacterial. He's had his antibiotics but not touched that stuff mixed in his food.
Do you know anyone with a well trained dog you could borrow for a weekend? Or whilst they go away? Then you can tell her it's only staying a few days/a week and will be going home. Then she may see it's not bad and if she still finds it bad then the dog is going back anyway so it's not like a long term thing. Or what about fostering? I know someone who had their guide dog looked after by a carer as they were unable to care for it whilst it was ill. I just googled as well hearing dogs look for volunteers that will do short term care for their dogs which involves you helping keep up their training and going to classes so that may be helpful in showing her what you'd do with your dog? I'm sure other charities will do similar
There's also the cinnamon trust where you can foster as well whilst the owners in hospital although you'd probably not know how well behaved they would be. Or for the cinnamon trust you can even just volunteer to walk a dog if you wanted to slowly build up your daughter being around a dog maybe could do that with her?
