I think he will always get gassy when stressed or excited as indeed happened last night to a small degree. But that said I have to allow time for the stomach to recover!
Everyone agrees that the mother should not have been used again but the problem is getting all influences to agree and act accordingly.
Let me not mince words. The mother's registration was transferred from Mrs Williamson to Mrs Heron although in reality the mother stayed with Mrs Williamson during the pregnancy. I am told that Mrs Williamson and Mrs Heron are good friends. Both live locally to one another. Well a 20 minute drive! Mrs Heron sits on the committe of the ISAE and is a KC approved judge. So it's so much for those that should be setting an example doing what is best for breed health!
I've upset the ISAE and making myself a nuisance at the KC. Why so? Because I believe that people should be responsible for their actions and that a KC judge should apply the same standard of judgement to their personal decisions as they have to in the ring. I think that Mrs Heron should resign her position with the KC and the ISAE and write formally to all purchasers of "her puppies" from this last litter informing them of what has happened and suggesting all contact their vets for preventative treatment. And that doesn't force her into admitting that she knew about Canagan's problems for the second mating.
If both the ISAE and the KC actually stood up and proved they were genuinely trying to improve Breed Health by acknowledging that "actions do speak louder than words" then they could expect greater credibility and respect.
just thinking of you and the dogs! not that I have experienced bloat before....I did have a dog who lived to nearly 15 but tended to have a gurgly stomach in the morning....but that would be cured instantly by feeding him a little tit bit like a piece of cheese! I would like to hear about the specialist diagnosis next week.
my layla who is 5 as the late onset of pra and she is totally blind now.theres still plenty of tears because as you say they should be running around doing things normal setters do.the only consolation i have is that its a painless disease and she is adapting pretty well to the situation
once again welcome to the site
