I need muzzle recommendations 🩷

We need muzzle recommendations, the traditional in store basket muzzles do not work.

Our girl would make Houdini proud, so we need something that will stay on and be comfortable when she is outside.

Stella is almost 1-year, she is Pyrenees/Anatolian around 90lbs and growing.

Background: Stella has Canine compulsive disorder, PICA, inflammatory bowel disease, allergies and anxiety. All of her issues make life really hard for her and our household.

She is on medication but we are still working on finding one that works.

We need a good muzzle so she can patrol the yard in the evenings because once it gets dark she really wants to go out. Please do not make suggestions in regards to health or vet, we know what’s wrong with her we just need solutions at this point 🩷

Not much has changed 😆

8-9 weeks old - 10 months and she still makes the same face, the only difference is she’s almost 90lbs 😆😆

How fast their personalities shift 😆

Stella has ALWAYS been a handful, I mean a tornado of chaos on 4 legs with no off switch.

She got sick around 4th of July and was hospitalized for 4 days due to IBD flare.

She started a new extremely strict kangaroo diet, was put on a taper down prednisone, turned 9 months and a major shift happened.

She now alert barks and growls when she sees squirrels, raccoons, cats on the property but the biggest shift is sleep, she sleeps off and on all day long. She doesn’t play like an energizer bunny anymore but her play style has changed. She enjoys sniffers walks/exploring over play. She also mostly only eats at night.

She’s like a legit couch potato or floor potato depending on the hour. Is that just normal?

The picture, she was watching Jacob turn into a werewolf and was absolutely so amazed that she stopped chewing her coffee wood 😆

IBD, Colitis and Food Allergies

Stella is 8 months and she’s just a mess. She has severe food allergies and has gone through a few colitis episodes. This latest colitis has put her in the ER and she’s refusing all food and all fluids. They are sure she has IBD. They are starting her on prednisone today because she is so inflamed.

We are moving her to zignature kangaroo, has anyone had any luck? I feel so stressed. We didn’t expect to have a puppy with so many issues. She also has severe anxiety and zero off switch so she is a highly complicated sweet puppy.

What kind of chews can she have being on such a strict diet? She is a heavy chewer.

I am going to visit her later to see if we can get her to eat. We have avoided going to the clinic because it will stress her out if we keep coming and going and she can’t come with. It’s been really hard.

Stella is sick at the ER ☹️

Stella (8 months) woke us up with massive diarrhea yesterday as we were getting ready to leave for the beach she threw up a rock about 2”.

Her vet had us bring her in and they did radiographs and didn’t see any blockage and sent her home. Once home she drank water, I gave her nausea medicine and then took her potty. She had water diarrhea with mucus and blood. I brought her inside she begged to go back outside so my husband took her and she threw up all her water.

We took her to back to ER because it wasn’t safe to keep her home. She has been on tons of medications and IV drip at her hospital. I am waiting to hear back from the doctors.

I feel so bad because she just look so miserably sick and it was so so sad. 😞 please keep her in your prayers.

Also my son who is almost 18 (in the photo) overdosed on caffeine and was incredibly sick yesterday as well. It was a long day!

How does your dog/puppy sit on the couch?

She has sat on the couch like this since her booty could reach the top pillow, so for months now 😆😆

She is almost 8 months on 6/8

Harness suggestions

We are needing harness suggestions that adjust at all points; especially the front because she has a deep chest and nothing fits correctly.

Stella is a puller, she’s still a puppy and still in training at almost 8 months. She does wear her harness all day so comfort is of importance. It comes off at night.

She currently has a KURGO air journey in large but we are 1 meal away from too tight. This harness does not fit her correctly.

Slow weight gain in puppy

Our girl is 7 1/2 months and over the last month she has not put on any additional weight.

Is this a normal occurrence? She does not eat a lot she is very very picky. She does play a ton. She does have some appointments coming up so I will bring it up there as well.

She was spayed at 7 weeks, this was not my decision as she was adopted from a shelter. She currently stands 27” at the withers and she’s about 69lbs

She’s 70.3% PYR 15.7% Anatolian and 14% lab

I am concerned though, my sister said it’s normal in puppies.

Never too big for a lap

My baby turned 7 months a few days ago and she’s just so big. She’s as big as I am, probably taller, lol. I am only 4’11 so it’s not hard to beat me in height 😆

Whelp! She gave herself a haircut! 😩

Stella (7 months) gave her newly plumed tail a fresh cut. She did a beautiful job, right??

She is under close veterinarian care due to food allergies, anxiety and some potential joint issues.

8 weeks old & 7 months old

Stella at 8 weeks old at 12lbs itty bitty baby to 7 months old and 27” to the withers and 70lbs

They grow too fast! She is also wicked smart and picks up learning a new skill within 3-4 reps.

She’s just a doll, I love her 🩷

Is this sand fine? I’ve already laid it. I have made a lot of mistakes and I am exhausted, lol. I have to add a second run as well because the one I bought is too small for 6 birds 😩…

Also to make it more fun can I mix bark chips in?

u/CrochetChrissy51325 — 5 months ago

Stella is about to turn 7 months on the 5/8 and yesterday she injured her front right paw. Her doctor is doing sedated full body X-rays to check her joints on the 28th

She has abnormally long toes (not fully pictured) they look like short haired grinch fingers but also flat paws that remind me a of duck walking. I knew they looked off and the doctor noticed it as well.

Has anyone else had experience like this? I feel so bad for her she’s on strict rest for healing of her injured leg.

How much would you list this for on FB marketplace? I have 8 outside garbage bags full and 1 small box 99% of it is brand new. It’s mostly all acrylic with some small amount of plush. It’s all mostly big box brands Caron, red heart, lion brand, etc. One of the bags is mostly 1-pounders. I also have a few kits in there.

Just looking for some advice. My yarn collection is massive but I am trying to weed stuff out.
